CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741. Up for sale and your consideration is a beautiful classic 1939 Cadillac Series 60 Fleetwood four door sedan with only 85,740 original miles. This car was garage kept it's entire life. This is a turn key and drive car that runs, drives and stops great, and can be enjoyed immediately on the day of purchase. This is a rare find since it is in outstanding condition and is a very well cared for true survivor. Please take the time to look over all 24 photos that I have listed here on the auction. I have many more photos available should any prospective buyer want them. Just call and ask for them. If any prospective buyer has any questions on this car I encourage and welcome the opportunity to show this car in person by appointment. I have in hand a clean title for this car showing actual mileage. I also have the original owner manual and a reproduction shop manual for this specific car.
BODY : The outer body is rust free. I'm not a body man, but I was told by two different body shop owners that they believe that this car still retains it's original paint. There is one small rust spot inside the left front fender. It is not part of the fender and appears to be an inner fender panel. The right side has been repaired. All glass is perfect. Trunk and doors lock with the original key. Chrome and trim is in amazing condition for the year. UNDERSIDE: As you can see in the photos the underside has only surface rust on the original floor pan front to rear. This is unheard of for a northeast vehicle. Underside viewing shows new brakes, new brake lines, new rear shocks, new king pins, new tie rod ends along with some new front suspension parts. The gas tank was removed and restored with the Renu restoration process. A new sending unit was installed. The gas tank is coated inside and out so the gasoline never touches the metal again. The interior is very nice original The left rear carpet has one area near the door that shows age. The woodgrain on the dash and window moldings is excellent. The steering wheel and all plastic knobs are excellent original. Headliner has no rips. The velvet autorobe blanket you see hanging on the passenger assist rope is an original with the original manufactures tag on it. It reads Artfur Auto Robes. It was manufactured by Shelton Looms. The seats appear to have been covered by material much stronger than the original cloth, but since seat covers were a factory option for an additional whopping $8.25 per seat, they may be original. A well versed Cadillac expert could probably answer this question. Windows roll up and down effortlessly. The gas gauge, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, ammeter gauge and speedometer gauge all work fine. DRIVETRAIN: Drivetrain is all original with low miles. Car is equipped with the 346 cubic inch "L" head V8 with hydraulic lifters. Engine is topped with a Stromberg AAV-26 carburetor that works great. A new fuel pump has also been installed. It is backed by a three speed selective synchro transmission that transfers the power to the 3:92 ratio differential. The car has just been tuned up and serviced with a fresh oil change, new spark plugs, and chassis lubrication. The transmission oil and rear differential oil was also just checked. ELECTRICS: Parking lights, high and low beam headlights, dash and glove box lights are all working. Interior light has power to the pillar mounted switch, but doesn't work. Working fog lights are a factory option and are connected to the headlight switch. The cost was $14.50 per light for this factory option. The under dash switch is marked 'fog lights' and illuminates when activated. Car has two horns. One is factory unit working fine that is activated by the horn ring on steering wheel. The other is a three trumpet musical opera horn activated by a toggle switch. It is unique and has it's own sound. The heater works fine. The wipers work great operating fast and smooth. The factory radio comes on but doesn't pull in any stations. You can hear scratching in the speaker when you move the volume knob. The radio was a $69.50 option and the heater was a $31.50 option. OPERATION: Since the fuel system was renewed with a restored gas tank new sender and lines and new fuel pump, along with a rebuilt front suspension and braking system, and all operational electrics, this classic Caddy is a dream to drive and gets thumbs ups wherever you drive it. The 16" Gangster wide whites have excellent tread. This will make an excellent enjoyable addition to any collection. The original condition and patina would be appreciated by any real car person. You can find rows of restored trailer queens at any car show, but try to find an original 1939 anything in this condition ! TERMS OF SALE: Please check my 100% positive feedback and buy with confidence. This car has been described honestly and to the best of my knowledge. It is literally impossible to know every tiny aspect of a 75 year old car so my description is based solely on a complete and thorough physical inspection, servicing of the car and driving the car. If any prospective buyer has any questions whatsoever as to the integrity and condition of this car then I would welcome and encourage an in person viewing of this Cadillac by appointment.

Cadillac upgrades ATS sedan to match new coupe
Thu, 10 Jul 2014The big news when it comes to the Cadillac ATS for 2015 is surely the addition of the new coupe model, but that doesn't mean that Cadillac has forgotten about the sedan as well. In fact GM's luxury brand has rolled out a few choice enhancements for the four-door to bring it more in line with the new coupe.
Among those changes that we spotted a couple of weeks ago is a new front fascia that incorporates the brand's new wreath-less emblem, and a sleeker front bumper. The interior has been upgraded as well with new trim options as well as some new tech including Siri Eyes Free functionality, dictated text messaging and optional inductive smartphone charging.
Though the ATS Coupe does away with the base engine, sedan buyers can still opt for the 2.0-liter four with 202 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque. The 3.6-liter V6 carries over unchanged at 321 hp and 275 lb-ft, but the 2.0-liter turbo four gets the upgraded torque rating of 295 lb-ft (the highest in the range) to go with its 272 hp. Some new color choices are also among the upgrades you can read more about in the press release below.
Why Cadillac needs a real truck in its lineup
Mon, Aug 31 2015Premium brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and Cadillac sell vehicles that cover the spectrum from car to crossover to SUV. But trucks? They remain the last frontier when it comes to luxury brands. These days Chevy, GMC, Ford, and Ram sell cheap, bare-bones work trucks alongside loaded models that top $75,000. There is a reverse elitism that comes with this sales tactic. A brand gets to reflect a rugged working class lifestyle with the emblem up front, while what's behind it costs as much as a small house in middle America. But Americans who spend big money on cars and SUVs have always gradually tailed towards luxury nameplates over time. Everyone knows what an Escalade is, and thanks in large part to that image the Escalade is now the best-selling fullsize luxury SUV in the USA. Cadillac's flagship model, along with its midsize luxury crossover, the SRX, routinely outsell the competition from Audi, Mercedes, and BMW, not to mention Ford's Lincoln brand and most of the Japanese rivals. With trucks already dominating overall sales and headed into the pricing stratosphere, I believe it's time for Cadillac to consider a fullsize truck. And no, not a lipstick version that merely takes a Chevrolet Silverado pickup and throws in a few leather seats and some slight interior touches. That experiment already failed both for Cadillac (the Escalade EXT) and for Ford's Lincoln brand (Blackwood, Mark LT). Cadillac is an American brand that currently focuses a ridiculous amount of energy and resources trying to compete with European car offerings. The brand needs to create the Cadillac of trucks. Head honcho Johan de Nysschen has been blunt in his desire to "restore Cadillac to the pinnacle of global premium brands, not in sales but in aspirational brand character." This sounds well and wonderful. But the present problem in achieving this goal is that, on a global basis, Cadillac is a failed brand. Look at Europe, where Cadillac has sold so poorly in recent years that former Soviet manufacturer Lada managed more new registrations in 2014 by a factor of more than four to one. Cadillac is an American brand that currently focuses a ridiculous amount of energy and resources trying to compete with European car offerings. After more than 20 years of Cadillac models selling themselves as import killers, the only one with sustained success has been the CTS, and even that has been a marketplace loser for the last several years. The CTS-V?
General Motors could turn Hamtramck into its electric pickup, SUV hub
Fri, Nov 15 2019Electric off-roaders could revitalize the Detroit-Hamtramck factory that General Motors previously announced it will close. While official details remain shrouded in secrecy, analysts believe the plant will be re-tooled to manufacture at least three electric models due out during the early 2020s. The plant's scheduled closure was one of the grievances the United Auto Workers (UAW) union cited when it embarked on a 40-day strike in September 2019. General Motors agreed to keep it open without shedding much light on what it planned to build there. Analyst at LMC Automotive told the The Detroit News they believe an often-rumored electric SUV that will resurrect Hummer's name, image, or both will be one of the models assigned to the Hamtramck plant. Battery-powered variants of the GMC Sierra and the Cadillac Escalade will be made there, too, as will an enigmatic van. LMC Automotive's Jeff Schuster believes the van will come first; it could enter production as early as 2021. The Hummer — which might also be offered as a pickup — will follow before the end of 2022, while the Sierra and the Escalade will both arrive in 2023. We're taking this report with a grain of salt, though, because only one of the aforementioned models has been announced by General Motors. Rumors of a Hummer resurrection emerged in the summer of 2019, just a few weeks before we heard unverified reports of a battery-powered variant of the next-generation Escalade. General Motors confirmed plans to enter the burgeoning electric pickup truck segment, which Ford, Rivian, and Tesla also have their sights on, but it hasn't detailed how or when. The van is a mystery. General Motors refused to comment on the report. It previously announced it will keep Hamtramck open, and invest $3 billion to build electric vehicles there. The investment will create 2,225 jobs. Inaugurated in February 1985, the Hamtramck factory has churned out a diverse selection of models over the past 34 years, including Cadillac's Eldorado, Seville, and Allante, the Oldsmobile Toronado, the Buick Riviera, and more recently, gasoline-electric Chevrolet Volt. General Motors announced plans to close Hamtramck in 2018, but it quickly backpedaled and extended its lease on life until 2020 by keeping the Chevrolet Impala and the Cadillac CT6 around for a few additional months.
