I am offering my personal 1964 Cadillac convertible. How and why I'm selling is rather simple. This was the car I was going to my retirement home in California. I had gone through it mechanically, put a new leather interior in, new top, fitted a cd changer in the trunk and every other thing you could do a vintage car. I decided to load it up with all my last remnants of my old life in Ohio and drive to Palm Springs. Well outside Greenfield, IN I suffered a massive tire failure. The right rear tire exploded with such force that the fender skirt was blown off the car. And yes they were new Cooper Tires with under 2,000 miles on them. Even with 2 fire extinguishers and the help of a Indiana State Trooper, who was 10 cars behind me, we could not control the fire. The fire travelled up to the convertible top well. And within 2 minutes this was the result. The vast majority of the damage was in the interior compartment, with some in the trunk area. Everything ahead of the firewall was untouched.

Up until this point the car was running magnificently. Just cruising on Interstate 70 on a beautiful summer day with Frank Sinatra on the cd changer. I had driven 350 miles when this happened. This horrible event came out of the proverbial blue sky. And since this fire on May 30th I have been trying to reconstruct my life. In the glove box were my certified copies of my birth certificate, my passport, banking information and all the important papers you normally keep lock up.

I finally settled with the insurance company, bought the salvage back as I thought I wanted to "re-restore" the car. After looking at the photos I decided I just don't have the heart to do the job. To be quite honest every time I view the photos I get sick. Hence the sale. I welcome your phone calls, my phone number is 216-470-2146. I am a member of the Cadillac-LaSalle Club, the AACA, and numerous of other car clubs.

As I stated before this car was a total rust free car. Originaly sold in Franklin, TN I purchased it after looking as 20+ 64 Cadillac Convertibles. The frame and floors still had the original paint marks on them. The doors still open and close perfectly. And it was one of the best color combos, white exterior, red interior with a black top. So if you are in need of a convertible frame this is a perfect one. The chrome was redone within the last year. This car ran wonderfully and I believe that with spark and gas the engine would fire up instantly. Even installed a pointless ignition and new battery within a month of the fire.

The car is currently being stored my a very good friend in Cleveland, OH and may be viewed there. I do have a Ohio "Salvage" title in my name. I have placed a reasonable reserve on the car as I am cognisent of value of the parts. It you need a rebuilt engine, or transmission, or frame, or chrome this is the easy way to go. I believe the car will roll if 2 tires were bolted on one.

Please call me personally at 216-470-2146 if you have any questions about my Cadillac. Thanks for looking and good luck.

2016 Cadillac ATS-V blasts into LA

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

The first details about the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V recently hit the web ahead of the official debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Now, the latest model to wear Caddy's high-performance V moniker is officially official, and the specs are even better than initial rumors suggested.
The latest figures actually give the ATS-V a hair more power than first believed, with 455 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque pumping out of the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6. With a standard electronic limited-slip differential keeping rear wheels in check, Cadillac claims that the model sprints to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 185 mph. Buyers have two transmission choices that both offer launch control: a six-speed manual featuring Active Rev Match and no-lift shifting, or an eight-speed automatic.
Thoroughly revised suspension and braking systems should also mean that the ATS-V excels at more than just going in a straight line. The chassis itself receives extra bracing to boost overall stiffness by 25 percent over lesser ATS models. On top of that, a host of suspension upgrades front and rear, including third-generation Magnetic Ride Control dampers, mean quicker steering response and a tighter ride. Plus, Brembo six-piston calipers up front and four-pistons in the rear should bring rapid deceleration. To tune it all to the driver's whim, the Performance Traction Management system gives five settings to choose from for stability and traction control.

Cadillac teases production ELR ahead of Detroit Auto Show

Tue, 18 Dec 2012

General Motors has just confirmed that the 2014 Cadillac ELR will make its official debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. We've already seen the ELR testing earlier this year using the same range-extended electric drive system as the Chevrolet Volt, and based on the shadowy image above, we're happy to see that the coupe's styling has stayed pretty true to 2009 Converj Concept.
The two-door ELR will be built alongside the Volt at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck plant starting later next year. Aside from this info, Cadillac has remained tight-lipped on the specific details of the car. But all that will all change on January 15.
Until then, all we have to offer you is the press release posted after the jump.

Cadillac is returning to endurance racing with a new prototype in 2017

Wed, Nov 30 2016

In two months, Cadillac will return to top-tier endurance racing with its all-new Daytona Prototype International racecar after 14 years away. The car, which adheres to IMSA's new DPi regulations, looks as long, low, and Cadillac-like as anyone could have hoped. It's set to debut at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and will compete head to head with the likes of Mazda and Nissan in what is shaping up to be one of the most diverse and exciting forms of American motor racing in years. The new car will be run by Wayne Taylor Racing, the team that previously fielded the Corvette Daytona Prototype. Wayne Taylor himself has won the 24 Hours of Daytona twice, in 1996 and 2005. He now manages the team and leaves the driving duties to his two sons, Ricky and Jordan. They'll be joined in the cockpit by Max Angelelli, Wayne Taylor's teammate in 2002 at Cadillac's last unsuccessful attempt at endurance racing. To understand Cadillac's new car, officially called the DPi-V.R., you need to understand IMSA's DPi category. Basically, manufacturers are allowed to base their car on one of four chassis that follow the FIA LMP2 regulations. The chassis come from either Dallara, Onroak Automotive, ORECA or Riley/Multimatic. Cadillac will base their car on the Dallara platform. The DPi regulation differ from the LMP2 in two major ways: non-standardized engines and the ability to change certain parts of the bodywork. The DPi regulations are intended to give the variety of the top-tier LMP1 cars at a fraction of the cost. When it came to choosing an engine, Cadillac wanted to power the new car with something kinda sorta production based. The new car will use a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter pushrod V8 that shares some base architecture with the engine in the current CTS-V. While the power output hasn't been announced, expect about 600 horsepower. While that's down compared to the CTS-V, there is far less mass to move around as the Dallara chassis is a svelte 2,050 lbs. Since all the teams will be running different engine configurations, expect restrictors of some sort to help balance the power disparity. The parts of the body work that can be modified - The nose, sidepods, rear wheel arches and rear valance - have all been designed to mimic Cadillac roadcar design elements. Even the wheels look like they were pulled straight from the CTS-V. The front splitter, the floor, and the diffuser are common elements shared with other DPi cars.
