1959 CADILLAC ELDORADO BROUGHAM Older Restored

 A perfect and Rare (only 99 built) investment to add to your fun and excitement while a rising investment in your portfolio. These cars are set to really take-off as so many rare low production classic cars have lately.

 The 1959 Cadillacs were nothing if not extravagant, with big engines, posh interiors and even bigger fins. It was the ultimate fin treatment on Cadillacs, accented with matching front and rear grille treatments and immense chrome bumpers like the exhaust ports on intergalactic space ships. Fortunately one Cadillac in 1959 was much more restrained, even refined, the Eldorado Brougham hardtop. Its small, sharp fins foreshadowed Cadillac's redesign for 1960. Its expansive flanks were attractively creased but free from gaudy embellishment. A flat windshield that eliminated the knee-knocker encroachments of the rest of Cadillac's wraparound screens foreshadowed 1961. The Eldorado Broughams were bodied in Italy by Pinin Farina on Cadillac's standard 130 inch wheelbase chassis equipped with 345hp 390 cubic inch triple carburetor engines shipped from the U.S., then returned to Cadillac for completion at Fleetwood to customers' orders. The Eldorado Brougham's price of $13,074 FOB Detroit over a thousand dollars more than the median single family house value in the U.S. It's not surprising, then, that only 99 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Broughams were built, followed by 101 in 1960 when the model was dropped from Cadillac's catalog. Much more rare than the 57 or 58.  In addition to being loaded with every available option and accessory in Cadillac's extensive catalog the Eldorado Brougham had rear door quarter windows that automatically retracted when the door latch was operated. It facilitated entry and exit, but even today startles those who aren't prepared for it. Current NADA shows the value of this car at --low-$74K, average $104K and High $168K--so you decide??




This peculiar brougham (body # 30) has had everything done--nut and bolt (Frame Off) as far as I can tell, by the previous owner probably about 10 years ago--The underside speaks to the detail of the restoration--as the body floor is properly prime coated and everything in order--as original! Looks like no expense was spared, this restoration in today's world would easily be over $100K--All the windows for example were disassembled and all frames rechromed--example as the hard stuff to do--Dash top replaced --It still rides on original air suspension and after sitting for awhile it will settle down--Purchased Main valve rebuild kit to be done--otherwise it pumps right up after a short idle. Everything works but the new gas gage always reads full--mechanic trying to sort that out. AC engages and works but needs recharging. Chrome very nice-- Always starts right up and runs and shifts perfectly--looks like only 495 miles since restoration--

GM delivers best Q3 sales since 1980, 2.4M vehicles sold

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

People are a weird sort. Even after registering over 70 recalls through the first three-quarters of 2014, General Motors saw its best Q3 results since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, registering over 2.4 million global sales between June and September on the back of strong results in the US and China.
US sales were marshaled by good results for GM's pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which bumped the manufacturer's truck market share to 35.6 percent, up nearly three points from Q1 2014. Buick has seen healthy growth as well, with the Encore dominating its segment for the sixth month running.
It was China, though, that really bolstered GM's sales, as the company's efforts to top last year's record-setting 3.16 million units continued apace. Small SUV sales saw massive growth, with Encore, Chevrolet Trax and Captiva figures jumping 90 percent in Q3. Brand-wise, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick all saw sales gains in the PRC, with each recording double-digit year-over-year jumps. Cadillac sales alone were up 63 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
