The first, red Cadillac, is a prime example of a Cadillac. The body is laser straight and paint is in excellent condition being professionaly repainted not long ago and from the outside it looks simply gorgeous. It has a few spots that need to be repainted though but is an easy fix. Though there are some trims missing, the body itself is in top condition and even comes with skirts that are in excellent condition. The engine was rebuilt a few years ago and runs really well. It also has a new convertible roof that looks amazing and all the chrome has been rechromed and looks stunning. The car also has white wall tires and hub caps that are in very good condition. However on the inside there is completely empty . As you can see from the pictures it is completely empty and there is only a dashboard and streaming wheel. The floors on the inside look nice and are very solid, but are patched. This is where the second Cadillac comes in. It is the same exact car and year that has all the accessories, but it is a coupe rather than a convertible, including trims and interior pieces, even though the red Cadillac comes with all of its upholstery that just needs to be put in, nevertheless some pieces may be taken from the other cadillac. The grey cadillac is in great condition also and has only 59,000 original miles making the engine run amazingly. The paint on this car is pretty terrible therefore it is good for parts but it is also possible to be redone.The brakes in both cars are not so great and will need to be replaced. So what you're basically getting here is 2 cars with the red one being the one set up for perfect restoration by using the pieces off of the grey Cadillac. I bought these cars for this exact reason, to rebuild the red one and make it look excellent, but unfortunately I do not have enough time for this and can no longer and these cars just standing in my garage. I even bought most of the missing pieces that really just need to be placed on the car. Once again this auction includes BOTH cars so you are certain to have all the parts you need. Please feel free to contact me with any other question I will gladly answer them by email or via phone. Happy bidding.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
Cadillac president de Nysschen says electrification coming 'across the spectrum'
Thu, Jan 22 2015We like to pick on new Cadillac president Johan de Nysschen for his insistence, many years ago, when he was president of Audi of America, that plug-in vehicles are for idiots. Listening to him give the keynote address at the Washington Auto Show today, you wouldn't know he ever said anything negative about an electric vehicle. Instead, he sounds something like a EV-angelist. De Nysschen said that Cadillac will be able to benefit from GM's considerable expertise in plug-in technology, which he said would be "applied across the spectrum of our portfolio." GM's electric committment will help in "making electrification commonplace." With the plug-in ELR already on the road, de Nysschen said that the company's next step in advancing powertrains will be the introduction of stop/start technology – which de Nysschen called an "important system to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions" – into a Cadillac for the first time later this year. Without giving any specific details, de Nysschen said that Cadillac will introduce eight new models (not necessarily plug-ins) by the end of this decade, including five that "will take Cadillac into market segments where the brand is not even present today." These new vehicles will likely be much lighter than today's vehicles, de Nysschen said, because "weight reduction today is critical to automotive design, it helps to improve fuel efficiency and contributes to desireable vehicle dynamics." The key is to reduce weight without compromising safety or comfort and to use the right material – steel, aluminum, carbon fiber – in the right place at the right time. It was a not-so-subtle jab at Ford and its new aluminum F-150. "In the pursuit of weight reduction, some manufacturers have also opted for abandoning steel and have gone for an all-aluminum approach," he said. "At Cadillac, we believe that different materials each present particular advantages in specific applications. There is no single material that represents the optimum balance of the conflicting objectives of every single application." Related video:
Combative de Nysschen defends Cadillac move, naming change
Mon, 29 Sep 2014
Johan de Nysschen isn't afraid of taking quick, decisive actions, even if they are criticized. Since taking the wheel at Cadillac, he instigated moving the luxury division's base of operations to Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood and introduced a new naming scheme for the future of the brand, like he did at Infiniti. The polarizing boss recently explained his feelings about the future of Cadillac in more depth on his Facebook page, but unfortunately only his friends could read it. Thankfully, Daily Kanban posted much of the strongly worded missive for the whole world to see.
Much of the message examines the decision to move some employees to New York. De Nysschen claims that it's all about giving Cadillac distance from Detroit to reshape itself. It allows for, "No distractions. No side shows. No cross-brand corporate considerations. No homogenized lowest common denominator approach. Just pure, unadulterated, CLASS."
