This 1958 Cadillac Coupe DeVille is fantastic. The color change from white to the deep red was done back in around 1980 and still has excellent gloss finish today. This restoration has had a lot of years and still shows like it was just recently done. The car was original white with rose interior. Now the red and white combination give it fantastic crowd appeal.

The car was driven by the owner to many shows in through the 80’s. As he got older, he decided to pass the car along to the next caretaker. I was able to purchase the car from him for one of my car-guy buddies and it ended up being put away in the early 1990’s until now. So, it came out of being privately held and came to me to be gone-over, detailed and made ready for a new caretaker.

 I added the modern power brake booster conversion, rebuilt the brake system and pulled the engine apart to freshen it up. Heads were serviced with new valves and all the related engine parts checked, rebuilt or replaced.  The headliner had some small damage so I replaced that as well.

You can see the car looks amazing. My niece asked to use it at her wedding a few weeks ago. I drove it up to the wedding 60 to 70 MPH and it drove like a Cadillac!

 There are new tires on the NICE Saber Wheels. The spare in the trunk is not a Saber, but I MAY have an extra to include. The chrome and potmetal are nice- The front bumper upper ends have some small poor spots where the water settles when draining off the hood. LOOK CLOSE at photos!

 Exterior trim and emblems are very good, the rear trunk plastic insert is cracked. Look Close! Inside trunk is carpeted in red with the side covers also in red. And a spare tire cover in white. The original 58 Cadillac jack, wood wedge and jacking instructions are in place.

Floors, chassis and rockers are the BEST I have ever seen on a 58! NO rust damage and NO repaired floors. Never undercoated! This is wonderfully original metal on this Cadillac.

Original Air Conditioning is all in place, BUT I have not charged it to see if it works. YES< the compressor clutch works. This car was originally ordered with air suspension but is now on springs.

All the windows work great. The 6-way power seat works fine. Heater works, clock does not. Antenna and radio—Good question! I need to go check these.

I have MANY photos I am HAPPY to send. I also have a road-test video. I would like to have them here, but I don't know how to get them attached to my listing.

Please ask for ANY details, I know how difficult it can be to come see the car, so I am very willing to send you ANY information or photos you would like to see. I know how some sellers make it impossible to get information from, not me—You ask, I provide.

I sure would like to hang on to this one, but I already have so MANY cars, I don’t have time to enjoy most of them. I know this car has been put away far too long (not by me) and deserves better. I want to know it will go to a good active car-guy that will get it out and drive it as it should be.


I do have the car advertised locally and have offers. But I want to be sure that all these guys have a chance and don’t want any hard feelings here, so I told them all they have to watch the listing and decide if they think the offers they have made are good enough for this Excellent 1958 Coupe DeVille.

Weekly Recap: 2016 CTS-V gives Cadillac new momentum for the new year

Sat, Dec 27 2014

It's been a rough year for Cadillac. The historic luxury carmaker been in the news for all of the wrong reasons: Declining sales, ditching its advertising agency and the relocation of its headquarters from Detroit to New York. But in late December, Cadillac reminded everyone what it does best: Build some of the rawest and most compelling luxury sedans in the world, as evidenced by the 2016 CTS-V. This monster churns out 640 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Sound familiar? That's the Corvette Z06 engine, and it makes this CTS the most powerful production Cadillac ever. It also puts the sporting divisions of the Germans on notice. The new CTS-V easily overpowers the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic and its 5.5-liter biturbo V8 rated at 577 hp, and the BMW M5 (with the competition pack) and its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that pushes out 575 hp. The rear-wheel drive Cadillac can sprint to 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds, which is close to the 3.5-second time turned in by the 4Matic-driven E63 S, and a bit quicker than the 4.1 seconds posted by the M5. With Magnetic Ride Control, General Motors' stout eight-speed automatic transmission (also used in the Corvette), Brembo brakes and a carbon-fiber option package that pretty much builds your car out of carbon fiber – it's clear this Cadillac means business. Truth be told, we expected this CTS-V to deliver. It's been a serious sports sedan for a decade, and the recent generation and its 556-hp arrogance have been particularly memorable. But notice what we're doing here? We're talking about product. Not who makes Cadillac's ads, or if the brand's headquarters has a mailing address in NYC. Like the 2016 ATS-V that's due in the spring, the debut of the 2016 CTS-V (on sale in late summer) is a shot in the arm for Cadillac, and its arrival comes during time of transition. The brand is trying to reinvent itself as a modern luxury maker. It wants new customers, a different image and obviously more sales. Those things are going to take time, but with a 640-hp sledgehammer of a sports sedan on tap for next year, Cadillac can still maintain some of its swagger through all of the change. Other News And Views 1984 Audi Sport Quattro heads for the auction block If you're into '80s rally cars, you're really a car person. But if you're into that stuff – and we are – this 1984 Audi Sport Quattro is sure to get your blood flowing.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.

GM executive chief EV engineer says reducing cost of plug-in vehicles is 'huge priority'

Mon, Mar 17 2014

As we know, another major automaker investing heavily in electrified vehicles is General Motors, and it's doing things much differently than rivals BMW, Ford or Nissan. The Chevrolet Volt extended-range EV is a modest seller at its $35,000 sticker price but a huge hit with owners. The Chevy Spark BEV, still in limited availability, puts smiley faces on its owners and drivers. The just-introduced Cadillac ELR, a sharp-looking, fun-driving $76,000 luxocoupe take on the Volt's EREV mechanicals, has admittedly low sales expectations. With this interesting trio in showrooms and much more in the works, the third vehicle electrification leader I collared for an interview at Detroit's North American International Auto Show (see #1 and #2) was Pam Fletcher, GM's executive chief engineer, Electrified Vehicles. ABG: Why do your EREVs need four-cylinder power to extend their range when BMW's i3 makes do with an optional 650 cc two-banger? "We designed [the Volt and the ELR] to go anywhere, any time" - Pam Fletcher PF: I get that question all the time: why not something smaller? You don't really need that much. You use the electric to its ability, then you just need to limp. But we designed those cars to go anywhere, any time, and we don't want their performance to be compromised. If you're driving through the mountains, we don't want you to be crawling up grades, or to be limited on any terrain. So it's optimized to be able to travel literally the biggest grades and mountain roads around the globe at posted speeds. Because what if you can't? Another good reason: when the engine is on, you have to run it wide open throttle, max speed, most of the time. And while we can do a lot with acoustics, and the ELR has active noise cancelation, a small-displacement, low cylinder-count engine at high speed, high load all the time isn't something you want to live with. That's how we came up with the balance we did among the key factors of performance, NVH [noise, vibration and harshness] and range. ABG: Where you go from here? Is the range-extender engine due for an update? PF: We know and love the current Volt, and there is still a lot of acclaim about it, so we think it's a good recipe. But we are heavily in the midst of engineering the next-generation car, which I think everyone will love and be excited about.
