Location:

Naples, Florida, United States

Naples, Florida, United States

I am offering this 1963 Cadillac Convertible that I purchased from a Classic Car aficionado in Washington State who had recently purchased it from an estate auction. This distinctive Cadillac has an extremely rare color combination that was in a nearly  40 year storage as it was taken off the road in 1975!!!!!!!It was stored  properly as the Floorboards,frame,trunk pan and rocker panels are original and have virtually NO RUST! 

I have invested many thousands of dollars on this vehicles recent, extensive mechanical and body restoration,The mechanical restoration was performed by Rick Johnson Auto of Naples, spearheaded by Mike/Chris and their staff that had devoted many hours in the mechanical restoration with exemplary results.Precision Collision/ Bill Polidore of Naples performed an outstanding result with the body restoration and matched the original color perfectly 

To showcase its most stunning features, including but not limited to:

 

·       New paint

·      New Leather Seats in the correct factory pattern!

·       New convertible top and tires, NOS cadillac floor mats!.

·       New Exhaust,Brakes,Fuel Pump,Battery,Plugs,Top motor,Wheel cylinders etc!

·       I personally flew out to California and selected and purchased most of the exterior chrome for this distinctive vehicle from a vintage Cadillac Salvage yard in the desert that specializes in Classic Cadillac’s.(the original chrome had dings and scuff marks)

·       The engine and drive train perform smoothly 

·       The vintage power antennae and AM Radio works!! and this vehicle was per the build sheet constructed on 04/01/1963 has controlled differential(posi-traction) (a rarity in these old cars)  

 I have been in this hobby for over 45 years and attended hundreds of Car Shows and auctions and I have NEVER seen this color combination on any 1963 Cadillac Convertible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This is a stunning classic cruiser that turns heads wherever it goes. It was one of the featured cars in the Naples Parade and drew an voluminous amount of attention due to its striking exterior and interior color combination.  I have repainted it in its original color scheme, ,Basildon Green which coordinates with the original two tone white/black interior.

 

The factory build sheet, owners manual, sales brochures, etc. are included with the purchase of the vehicle, and a clear Florida Title is in hand and will be transferred to the new owner immediately upon the receipt of payment in full. 

 

 

This meticulously restored vehicle is by no means a "TRAILER QUEEN" and in my opinion is an excellent driver quality vehicle! The reserve price is reflective of its quality.

    

Paint code 32 Basildon Green

Trim code 20 White Leather

Top code    1 White

Accessory code EY

Bidders and prospective purchasers are urged and cautioned to conduct their own due diligence, including a physical inspection in person or through a qualified third party inspector or appraiser, before contemplating a purchase or making a bid on this vehicle.

2015 Cadillac Escalade blings its way into LA

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

The new Cadillac Escalade sauntered out onto the Los Angeles Auto Show stage, showing off its new familial face and redesigned interior. That exterior, with its slim, wrap-over headlights and tall, vertical taillights (both made up of LEDs) is a subtle but significant departure from the past styling of General Motors' flagship SUV.
And while there's no shortage of stuff to discuss about the Caddy's exterior, its cabin is where the big changes happen. Aside from the column-mounted shifter, the cabin receives a heavy going-over, receiving Cadillac's new CUE infotainment system and a significant upgrade to the materials. Comparing it to furniture, Eric Clough, Cadillac's director of design for interiors, said, "An exceptional level of craftsmanship has gone into the redesign of the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, and it all centers on the premium materials and extensive use of cut-and-sew live stitching."
Under hood sits a 420-horsepower, 460-pound-foot, 6.2-liter V8. Fitted with direct injection and active fuel management, fuel economy for the big Escalade should get a much-needed boost beyond the current model's 14-city and 18-highway miles per gallon, although official numbers haven't been published quite yet. A six-speed automatic is the sole gearbox choice. Cadillac has also fitted the new Escalade with GM's magnetic ride control system, which should deliver a more refined ride than its predecessor.

GM, Pilot will build EVgo fast chargers at 500 truck stops across U.S.

Thu, Jul 14 2022

All of our maps showing electric vehicle charging stations across the U.S. are going to need an update. Today, General Motors, Pilot and EVgo announced plans to work together on a nationwide DC fast charging network. The plan calls for 2,000 charging stalls that can deliver up to 350 kW to be installed at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers in the U.S. The goal is to have DC fast chargers available in 50-mile intervals across the country. The new charging stations will feature GM's "Ultium Charge 360" branding and "Pilot Flying J" logos but will not be limited to drivers of GM EVs. The plugs will use CCS connectors and be available to anyone. GM EV owners can take advantage of benefits, including the ability to make exclusive reservations, get discounts on charging costs and streamline the charging process with Plug and Charge and in-vehicle apps that can provide real-time charger availability. The first installation phase will take place in 2023, and "the bulk of the installations" should be completed by 2025, EVgo CEO Kathy Zoi said during a conference call with reporters announcing the plan. "We're gonna get going immediately and commence all of that engineering and planning stuff," she said. "We've got a pretty orderly plan." Pilot CEO Shameek Konar said the company expects the new EV charging stations to coexist with the current fuel infrastructure. "An average Pilot Flying J location is about 10 acres," Konar said. "This will be in addition to all of our gas pumps. The way I think about it is, this is a new source of energy that is going to coexist with gas for quite some time. We can debate how long, but we need to serve both groups of customers." Installing DC fast chargers at hundreds of Pilot's travel centers — aka truck stops — means there should be food, drinks, restrooms, WiFi and even showers available while you wait for an EV to charge. Pilot recently announced its “New Horizons” plan that will invest $1 billion in upgrading Pilot travel centers with more premium amenities, including expanded seating and lounge areas. While the exact amount of time it will take to charge an EV using these new stations will vary on the EV and its current state of charge, most EVs can refill from a low state of charge to around 80 percent in 20-30 minutes on a fast charger. The new stations are future-proofed to deliver up to 350 kW, a charge rate that few EVs today can handle.

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.
