1962 Cadillac Coupe Deville Convertible on 2040-cars

Year:1962 Mileage:0
Location:

I am selling my 1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille convertible. This is a beautifully restored classic. It has a brand new Starfire White Pearl paint job with all rechromed parts, including the bumpers and all grille pieces. The dash was and bumpers were completely taken apart and rechromed as well. The grille pieces were all sand blasted and powdercoated for protection and a very clean look. It still has all of the original pieces and emblems that were also rechromed. The convertible top is brand new with all new cylinders, switch, pump and hoses. It has a brand new windshield and all the other glass is there with no cracks. The interior is two tone white and black with new carpet kit throughout, new cushions, and door panels. There are brand new 20 inch rims with new 245-45-20 tires. Brakes are 100% redone including all 4 wheel cylinders, 4 hoses, master cylinder, bearing, shoes and resurfaced drums. Also has 4 new shocks and this classic just got an alignment. I also put in new U-joints which is a three piece. The engine was completely gone through and repaired- New fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, rear main seal, valve cover gaskets including powder coated black valae cover and air filter housing. All new belts, power steering hose, rebuilt carburetor, rebuilt water pump, all new fluids and new battery. The transmission was 100% rebuilt ORIGINAL! Also has new wiring harness.

Only TOP OF THE LINE work done on this classic!

This car runs and drives great! It needs a couple little things to be 100% finished but nothing major. The wiring harness needs to be ran to the brake lights and headlights. Also the back window switched are new and work great but the chrome on the glass frames in the rear weren't rechromed. The driver side multi switch dosent work but you can still get the windows up an down because they still have power going to them. The pigtail is wired and ready to just plug in the switch for that issue! the other moldings and pieces left to finish the look of the exterior, and the rechromed parts for the steering wheel. You can tell in the pictures the minor things that need to be finished. I have over 40k into this car and hate to sell it but I have no choice.

I have had many classic cars and this is one of my favorites. I am not selling this classic because of any problems with the car, I just don't have the space for it anymore.

HAPPY BIDDING AND GOOD LUCK!!

Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.

Cadillac dealers get $5,000 incentive for ELR test drives

Tue, 13 May 2014

The 530 Cadillac dealers - out of 940 total dealers - that signed on to sell the brand's ELR for $75,000 or lease it for $699 per month have managed to move 247 of them in the last five months. That's a little less than two cars for each dealer more than two dealers for each car if you need help with the math. With inventories of the luxury plug-in hybrid building up - Automotive News reports a 725-day supply - General Motors has created the Demonstrator Allowance Program to billow the sails on that slow moving ship, giving dealers $5,000 to promote ELR test drives.
A dealer with one ELR in its test fleet that racks up 750 test driven miles between May 1 and June 2 earns the fifty Benjamins, a dealer with two ELRs in the test fleet will get one hundred Benjamins. That will be added to summer incentives for dealers that pay $2,000 for units sold in July and $1,000 for units sold in August, while on the customer side, Cadillac has put "customer discount certificates" worth $3,000 on the hood for buyers and lessees.
Cadillac suggests this is about raising awareness of the ELR, but the question is how much dealers will be able to do for a car that observers - and buyers, apparently - still consider highly overpriced.

GM outlines strategy for new products, growth in China

General Motors laid out ambitious plans on Wednesday to become the world's "most valued automotive company," a goal it says it can reach by strengthening its business in China, rebuilding the Cadillac luxury brand and fixing the foundering GM Europe operations.
