1960 Cadillac “California” Coupe

My Intention Is To Sell This Coupe With EVERY Nut And Bolt I Have!

I WILL NOT “Part Out”, So Please Don’t Ask.

Not Interested In Trades

Born In California, Purchased In Hershey, PA in 2007

I have a number of other interests that will prevent me  from completing this coupe. Much of it has been completed by a very experience body man and professional welders who know how to produce exceptional customizations.

I completely understand anyone can buy a 60 Cadillac "running" for $20K, but more than likely, will need restored or at least "refreshed". To restore a 60 Caddy Coupe will cost you a minimum $50K for a "fairly nice" driver. $100K for a strong show car. So many steps, so much to accomplish. Tons of cash!

I've done most of the hard work. A good chunk of the body work cost, chrome cost per much done. Yes there is more, but its the "start" that's the hardest part. Now it's just discussions to make? 

60 Coupe Body

This 60 coupe was brought in from California where is spent its entire life until 2006. It was titled in MI for a few months until I purchased it. Rust free and in excellent condition. I purchased it in Hershey at the annual Antique Auto Show on October, 2007.

The body was completely soda blasted, sanded and sealed approximately 3 months later. The under carriage was COMPLETELY stripped of all Cosmoline (used in firearm preservative), neutralize, sanded and painted black. The undercarriage is in beautiful, rust free condition.

The body is 80% finished with frenched doors with door poppers. All stainless trim has been removed and mounting holes filled. Left and right inner rockers have been repaired along with other miscellaneous repairs.

The left and right side “rear body” light extensions will need minor repair.

In terms of corrosion, this car was incredibly clean.

I have every original nut, bolt and washer for this car. They have been turned and cleaned.

Engine/Engine Bay:

This is or was to be a “custom, one off” 60 Cadillac. The engine bay frame was designed and EXPERTLY engineered to house a 496 cu.in. BB Chevy, that will includes a polished aluminum motor plate and custom made headers that fit perfectly and they have been power coated. No motor mounts were planned to be used, but ultimately it would be the new owner choice.

This 496 BB should produce approximately 500hp. The motor does not include the carburetor, but the intake is intact. Very nice motor that will push this 4,600 lb. Caddy around nicely. You won’t find finer metal work on an automobile. I do have the center link and driveshaft, but it will need to be cut and shortened.

Chrome Plating – Librandi’s, Middletown, PA.

 

I don’t have to tell anyone the COST and EXPENSIVE of getting parts rechromed. The list includes every part that has been stripped and beautifully rechromed.

I will apologize beforehand if I have forgotten a few parts, but there is SO MUCH still wrapped and I would prefer not unwrapping them until someone is actually interested in this car.

There are 49 chromed parts at last count at a cost exceeding $14,000.00.

All chrome pieces have been stored inside in a dry environment and coated with WD-40 and ALWAYS recoated from time to time, just to be sure! These chromed parts are in GORGEOUS condition! You get it ALL!

** Shipping this car and all parts would be complex and expensive undertaking. I would prefer local pickup only at this point, but would assist in packing and loading it all up if someone outside the area is interested.

I've never shipped a car oversea's or to Canada, so I prefer local pickup only.

I will accept fair offers, but PLEASE don’t waste with frivolous ones. I don’t have time for them. The FACT is I have over $38K invested in this car.

 

If you are interesting in discussing this car, please email me your name and phone number and when it is best for me to call you.

I will not communicate thru email. If your serious about this car, you will want to talk!!

HURRY before I change my mind!

I appreciate your time. I know it's alot of reading, but I felt it was necessary for everyone to understand what they can expect.

Cadillac ATS was almost front-wheel drive

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

"We were going to do a front-wheel drive Cadillac compact off of Delta because it was going to be less expensive," Doug Parks, General Motors' vice president of global product programs, told the Automotive News during the Detroit Auto Show in January of this year. That sentence, referring to early ATS discussions more than five years ago - a period when the automaker, and the industry, was struggling - reveals that Cadillac's highly acclaimed rear-wheel drive compact sedan almost never happened.
Parks revealed that that automaker actually built a 2.0-liter test mule, on GM's Delta platform (shared with the Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Verano) and tested it in Europe. While the prototype was "pretty darn good," according to Parks, the team realized that in order to compete against Mercedes-Benz and BMW it would have to invest in a new rear-wheel drive platform.
The resulting all-new Alpha platform would eventually underpin the Cadillac ATS, and many would argue that its balanced rear-wheel drive chassis is its single most important attribute. Thankfully, the Alpha's goodness won't stop with the ATS. The upcoming 2014 Cadillac CTS and the future Camaro will also share its architecture, meaning the Cimarron will remain a distant memory.

2016 Cadillac CT6 shows crisp sense of style in leaked images

Tue, Mar 31 2015

You're looking at the 2016 Cadillac CT6, aided by the almost inevitable internet-aided leak, ahead of its debut at the New York Auto Show this week. As you can see, the overall shape is straight-edged and aggressive, and overall in keeping with what we've seen from Cadillac over the last several years. High-tech lighting clusters extend from the fender peaks all the way down in what appear to be LED strips toward the lower fascia and its rectangular fog lights. A suitably massive grille encrusted in chrome boasts one of the larger Wreath and Crest badges we've ever witnessed on a car. Under that sharply creased hood will sit a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine with 400 horsepower at its disposal, according to Cadillac, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. A naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6 will also be available, we're told. We may wish for an edgier range-topping sedan from Cadillac, but it's not really fair to draw any real conclusions from just one leaked image. In other words, stay tuned, 'cause the rest of the story won't be far behind.
