Here is a 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille (2 door) selling at no reserve. The car is showing 28,176 miles, which I assume is 128,176. It has the original 390 V-8 with the automatic transmission. The car is black with the original black and white interior with solid floorboards and undercarriage. This is an excellent candidate for high point restoration, hot rod or anything in between. The car was originally white.

This car has sat for quite a while (indoors) and the engine has the intake manifold off, although I have all the parts. The front driver side fender is bent upwards just a little and is interfering with opening the drivers side door (the door can still open). There are three areas on the body that have been repaired (lower fenders, see photos). Other than those issues, the car is in all around good, but unrestored condition with everything there and complete. The fenders and wheel wells are solid. The car is loaded with features not seen on most 1950's cars. These include

Factory Air Conditioning
Power Seats
Power Windows
Power Trunk Closure.

The dash has some cracks and a fitted dash cover is in place (this comes right off, see photos with and without)

The car is located in Petersburg, MI and is available for inspection at any time before the auction is over. I would encourage you to come and look at it if you live close enough so that you're satisfied with what you see and are comfortable bidding.

This has a clear California title. The car still has the CA black plates, although they are expired.


With a little work, this car could be a real head-turner and a great driver. The '59 Cadillac is the apex of the fin era, it doesn't get better than this and this is no 4-door sedan either, the 2-door Coupe De Ville has the smoothest lines of any model that year, in my opinion. This is a highly desirable model even among other '59 Caddys and not to be missed.

PAYMENT AND SHIPPING: I'll need to be payed in full within a week. Cash, Money Order, Western U, Personal Check (I'll have to wait a day or so for this to clear), even Paypal (I'ld prefer not Paypal, since they take a percentage, but if that's what you want to use, I can live with it). The buyer is responsible for pick-up or shipping. If it's going to take a while to arrange, that's OK, I can put it in dry storage here, it's not in my way if it's going to take you a bit to pick it up. I have an open flat bed trailer and can deliver it within a reasonable distance for a reasonable charge (say $1/mile for however far Mapquest says it is) and would consider delivering it over long distance at this rate if you can work with me on schedule. If you're at a loss about shipping, I've used UShip.com in the past with good results.

GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.

Cadillac may not build Elmiraj coupe

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Despite the fact that most everyone who has laid eyes on the Cadillac Elmiraj concept coupe loves it, General Motors insiders are still trying to prove the business case to build the car. And it's certainly not a guarantee.
"I want to see this car go into production badly. Very badly," Ed Welburn, GM's Global Head of Design, told Autoblog. But the Cadillac design studio is busier than it's ever been before, and the company is working on prioritizing which cars deserve to get the billion-dollar price tag needed to research and develop a new model.
No matter what happens, Welburn says the car has made its mark on Cadillac

Cadillac CTS Vsport laps the N"urburgring in 8:14.10 [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

You don't have to be German to test your car at the Nürburging. You just have to be serious about beating the Germans on their own home turf. That's why Nissan tests its GT-R at the Nordschleife to challenge the Porsche 911, and why Cadillac - which is no less serious about putting up a fight to German performance sedans - has returned to the 'Ring once again with its latest.
This time it's the turn of the new CTS Vsport, the sportier version of Cadillac's new mid-range sedan that aims to bridge the gap until the arrival of the next CTS-V. So how'd it fare? At the end of what we're sure was an exhaustive test session, the new CTS Vsport clocked a time of 8:14.10.
To put that into context, General Motors points out that the time places the new sedan six seconds ahead of the first-gen CTS-V, whose 400-horsepower V8 engine was actually less potent than the Vsport's new 410hp 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6. That's still a good fifteen seconds slower than the outgoing CTS-V that clocked a 7:59 in 2009 with its 556hp supercharged V8, but only a second behind the E60-generation BMW M5 with its high-revving 500hp V10.
