Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands
|
LaSalle Classic Cars proudly presents this totally restored 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham! LaSalle Classic Cars is specialized in high quality American cars of the forties and fifties. We are located in the Netherlands, Europe, near the Amsterdam Airport.
This 1957 Eldorado Brougham is in like new condition and is complete with all the vanity items! Body number 155, in the original color of Deauville Gray (paint 118) with a lovely new interior by SMS fabrics in the factory correct Bayou Gray Cloth and White Leather (Trim 138), the carpet is "Mouton" (sheepskin). This Brougham was fully restored in Sweden and is complete with all the original vanity items that belong with this particular Brougham! A unique Cadillac as the experts know. For many it is the ultimate Cadillac! There are only 704 of this first series made in 1957-58. Equipped with all possible options then available, including; a 325 hp dual carburettor V-8, a stainless steel roof, memory seat, power everything (even the vent windows and trunklid!), air conditioning, transistor radio (for the first time, instead of tubes), cast-aluminium wheels, automatic starter system etc., etc. All these features are in working condition! These Broughams featured a problematic air suspension when new but like most Broughams this car has long since been converted to coil springs. The new price was astronomically high; $ 13,740. In comparison, a Ford Fairlane Sedan would cost you only $ 2,200. So you could buy 6 for the price of a Brougham! The so-called "vanity items" associated with the Brougham consist of the following: 6 magnetized drinking cups with a cylindrical plastic holder, a plastic case for cigarettes, a beveled vanity mirror, a notepad with Silver Cross pen, a bottle of Arp`ege by Lanvin perfume with gold atomizer top and a lady vanity case made by Evans. The vanity case was especially made by Evans for the Cadillac and features the famous Cadillac "V" on the outside and has the same color leather as the top of the dashboard. Inside you’ll find a comb, lipstick holder and powder puff. The notepad and mirror are stored in the rear armrest compartiment and are therefore color keyed to the upholstery (in this case white leather). The Brougham runs and drives great! It is extremely difficult to find a properly restored Brougham, let alone find one with all the original vanity items complete!! This is truly a unique opportunity for the enthusiast /collector! Dutch registration papers.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
Cadillac ATS-V and Mercedes-AMG C63 S pitted Head to Head
Fri, Sep 4 2015Our favorite (and only) Autoblog-alum-turned-Motor Trend staffer is back with another Head to Head video, this time pitting the Cadillac ATS-V with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S. This performance machine shootout is ostensibly a way to figure out which of these new super sedans will earn the right to go toe-to-toe with the undisputed champion of its segment, the BMW M3. In reality, it's just a really good excuse to put three of the hottest sedans on the market on video at the same time... and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Jonny Lieberman spends time in each of the two new challengers on the road, picking apart their powertrains, chassis and driving dynamics on the kinds of twisty roads drivers of these cars will relish. Then, he hands the keys off to Randy Pobst, who sort of acts as an unmasked version of a certain tame racing driver, except that he talks and has a personality. 0-60 and quarter-mile times are equated, braking performance is measured and scores are tallied before the two sport sedans end up at Willow Springs raceway. Interestingly enough, the car that proves (just slightly) faster at the race track isn't the car that wins the comparison. Curious? We're not going to spoil it for you. Check out the video, above. Then, for more action of these two machines, check out the videos just below.

Cadillac CT6 shows its face in 2015 Oscars ad [w/video]
Mon, Feb 23 2015Have you been watching the 2015 Oscars? No? Then you've missed your very first look at Cadillac's long-awaited flagship, the imaginatively named CT6. Don't worry folks, we've got the entire spot, titled The Daring: No Regrets, available below. Marking the start of the new Dare Greatly campaign, the 60-second spot will be joined by three others during the Oscars' broadcast, and features a number of unconventional luminaries from the worlds of fashion, finance, technology and film, contrasting their common beginnings with their exceptional accomplishments. It's a powerful spot... and then the CT6 arrives. Asking "How dare a 112-year-old carmaker reinvent itself," a white CT6 is spotted (viewed through what looks like a bad Instagram filter) cruising slowly down a New York (we assume) street. The car itself is big and wide – properly American and Cadillac in its proportions – and features a very handsome evolution of the latest CTS' styling, with a new take on the brand's distinctive headlight and grille design. Have a look at the photo above, watch the ad and let us know what you think of both the commercial and the car that stars in it, down in Comments.
