1955 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible


This 1955 Eldorado has just been purchased by me. It has had the same owner for the last 18 years. This car is what I would call a very solid, pristine driver. It was purchased new in Arlington, Virginia. It spent some time in Colorado , North Carolina, Ohio and Florida, and has always been garage-kept. I've driven this car a little bit, and while the auction is going, I am making several improvements that are cosmetic. I have extensive history and paperwork on the car, and have added a correct 1955 Eldorado only hard boot. I am color matching the boot  to the car. When I purchased this car, the last owner had a Hartz cloth snap-on boot cover, so the pinch well trim does have snaps on it, but if you have the boot on it you won't see them. Just would like to clarify that what you're buying is a real, real nice pristine driver. It's not a car that's going to win a Hershey 1st place award, but it could if you wanted to do some minor upgrades down the road. For now, it makes a pristine driver to drive and enjoy . I can personally deliver this to your door, and help with any type of international shipping to the port, and possibly store the car for you until Hershey Car Show 2014 is over. If not sold it will be for sale at Hershey 2014 Fall Meet in the Car Corral.
Here are some upgrades that I am doing while the auction is going:
  • Painting hard boot to match
  • All new lenses for the brake light, reverse light, fog lights, and fin reflectors.
  • Gold plating script and V on trunk and hood
  • Upgrading the trim on the doors and the front fender, polishing the rear wheel opening trims
  • Replacing and chroming belt line side fender trim (right and left)
  • Replacing and professionally polishing right and left door trim stainless for the belt line
  • Bleaching the convertible top to get it bright white
  • Touching up minor paint chips
  • Slightly detailing the under carriage
  • Painting the air cleaner correct gold, as well as the valve covers, I have the PODS
  • Adding correct air cleaner hardware/bolts
  • Buying a new reproduction driver's side mirror
  • Buying a new rear view mirror
Here's some key points on the car:
  • Excellent chrome
  • Convertible top is in working order
  • No rips or tears in the top
  • Nice back window for a convertible top
  • Tires have about 1000 miles on them
  • Excellent undercarriage, but not detailed
  • Bottom of front seat was replaced in leather and matches pretty well
  • Correct air cleaner for dual quad carburetor
  • Nice glass
  • Has Daytona weave carpets
  • Original radio included (note that right now there is an unoriginal AM/FM radio in it)
  • Has glass packed mufflers and they sound great
  • Recent brake work  and wheels cylinders
  • You can drive it anywhere
  • Carbs were rebuilt by Daytona
  • Paperwork as far as  the 80's from the second owner, TONS OF IT !!
  • Originally am Arlington Green code #34  with Biege leather code #95
  • Build sheet goes with the car
  • Recent repair of new distributor, new master cylinder
  • Paperwork shows first owner had the car up until 1967
If this car does not sell, it will be at the Hershey Car Corral for sale in October 2014.
I do have a Cadillac scrap yard with parts ranging from the 50s to 60s. If you have any requests please contact me.
Please call 301 672 1000 with any questions.

2013 Cadillac ATS Premium 2.0T 6MT

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The new Cadillac ATS is an impressive sport sedan, often considered one of the most serious threats to the BMW 3 Series. Unlike GM's previous attempts, this four door brings aggressive styling, commendable chassis dynamics and class-leading handling to the highly competitive battle. And, like its daunting German foe, Cadillac offer several powertrain choices.
I recently spent time with the ATS 2.0T Premium on my home California turf. Fitted with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox with a limited-slip rear differential, my tester was lightly optioned, with only a paint upgrade and a cold weather package. That brought the as-tested price to $46,305, configured the way I imagine most enthusiasts would prefer. This meant I fully expected to enjoy a week with a tossable sport sedan that boasted "fun-to-drive" as its middle name, but all was not well...

Cadillac ATS-V Coupe caught undisguised ahead of LA reveal

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Vsport versions of the CTS and XTS sedans are all well and good, but what Cadillac enthusiasts have really been looking forward to is the arrival of the next full-on V model. And here we have it.
Spied in the nude during an apparent photo shoot ahead of its anticipated debut at the fast-approaching Los Angeles Auto Show, the upcoming new Cadillac ATS-V Coupe is set to pick up where the old CTS-V left off, only in a more compact form. Unlike previous spy shots of heavily disguised prototypes, this final version is showing a chrome-framed mesh grille, along with a deep lower air dam with what looks to be a carbon-fiber front splitter. That bulging hood with heat extractor vents is tipped to be packing a twin-turbo V6 engine, breathing out of quad exhaust tips.
The aggressive aero kit also encompasses side skirts, a reshaped rear bumper and a lip spoiler on the truck, while the upgraded rolling stock wears serious low-profile rubber and the brakes appear to be carbon-ceramic units. Peer through the window and you can even see the sport bucket seats with slots for racing harnesses. All of which suggests a serious American challenger to the BMW M4 and its ilk, and we're looking forward to seeing the vehicle in the metal in LA next month.
