Herriman, Utah, United States

1961 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. 2 door Hardtop.  I've had the car a year. I love it.  The car is giant and I've got four cars in a one car driveway.  I need to make room.  So sadly this one has to go.

I bought the car from an older fellow who'd had it covered for years.  It was not working when I got it.  The car has the original Cadillac 390 ci engine. I've replaced some hoses , belts and wiring. I replaced the lower control arm bushings. I rebuilt the master cylinder. I've also rebuilt the generator.   Currently it has an alternator installed, but it is a 10 minute switch to get the generator in again, and it is of course included with the car. I have all the hubcaps. I have the fender skirts.  Comes with an extra front grille also comes with original radio, currently not installed.  Runs and drives but will need a tuneup and brake adjustment at least. 

The car is not perfect yet.  The clearcoat is peeling all over the car. The car is 99.9 % rust free, however on the bottom rear lip of the trunk lid there is some rust to be repaired a picture is included. The brakes work but need to be adjusted, they pull a little to the right.  The interior was redone before it was covered an out away by the previous owner (12+ years ago).  The dash was recovered and looks great. The vinyl on the seats is starting to crack a little (as can be seen in the close up pictures around top of the seats).  I've been tinkering with task me wiring in the dash and a few of the gauges (fuel sender, water temp, dash light) got disconnected.  

Per car code the car was originally white exterior and black interior.  It was my intention to restore it to full glory as this is an awesome Car.  The Body is super straight and. The car is original as in Original engine chassis and body numbers matching.  It has never been chopped up or rodded out.  All original suspension and brakes. 

Car is currently in Riverton, Utah and is available for inspection by you or your mechanic. 

Buyer will be responsible for all shipping costs, transfer fees, and or all applicable sales taxes.

2014 Cadillac ELR wears a suave suit with Volt underpants

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

The Cadillac design and engineering teams were smiling like a bunch of proud papas here in Detroit this morning, as the Wreath and Crest crew pulled the curtain back on their 2014 ELR. The house was packed for the ELR's coming out party, and reaction was enthusiastic amongst the murmuring media, as far as we could gather, while the flashes were firing.
In fact, we think that the sleek styling and aggressive proportions of the Voltec-powered ELR looked even better in the metal than they did in the first official images we saw earlier. Further, the leather-lined interior seems custom made for serious driving, even if the ELR is slightly less than rocket-ship quick.
The new Cadillac makes good use of the basic running gear from the Chevrolet Volt, including the 1.4-liter range-extending gas engine, a 15.6-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and an electric drive motor that offers 295 pound-feet of torque, and a total system output of 207 horsepower. All-electric range is down by just one mile versus its Chevrolet forebearer, for a total of 35, and Cadillac speculates that the total range with the gasoline generator figured in will top 300 miles.

GM laying off 510 amidst slow Cadillac, small car sales

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

General Motors is laying off about 510 workers from two factories beginning in January, and it could be months before the automaker needs some of that latent capacity to come back on line. A combination of poor sales and high dealer inventories are prompting the cutbacks, according to Automotive News.
The largest changes come at GM's Lansing Grand River plant, where the Cadillac ATS and CTS are made. An entire shift of about 350 workers is being laid off, but the automaker hopes to find positions for some of them at other nearby factories. The decision leaves just a single shift building vehicles there. According to Automotive News, the move is partially spurred by Johan de Nysschen's plan to make Cadillac a more exclusive brand.
The lost shift will likely return for production of the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro at the plant, according to the report, but GM isn't saying when that will be. A previous announcement from the Canadian Auto Workers union indicated that the Oshawa, Ontario, factory would lose the coupe in late 2015 or early 2016.

Cadillac logo losing its wreath?

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

The easily recognizable Cadillac logo dates back to the company's founding in the early 1900s, but over the last 110 years, there has been an on-again, off-again love affair with the wreath surrounding the crest. Cadillac's current badge design has used the wreath since the 1980s, but Automotive News is reporting that GM's luxury division is planning to ditch the laurel wreath for a cleaner-looking logo.
The new logo could make its debut as early as next month on a new concept car that will be revealed at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, although the report also says that it might be until 2015 before it makes its way to a production car. Even then, it doesn't like anything has been finalized yet, as the article also says that plans could still change.
As Cadillac looks to improve its global presence as a luxury automaker, the report says that a simpler logo could make it easier for designers to incorporate the badge onto the car - either in the grille or above the grille (possibly in a fashion similar to Mercedes-Benz). Head on over to the AN article, which shows the Cadillac logo dating back to its earliest design.
