1951 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 75 Limousine on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
Being offered up for your consideration, AT A LOW RESERVE, is a 1951 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 75 Limousine, also called a 7 passenger sedan. Out of a total production of Cadillac's in 1951, GM only made 1090 of this model of Limousine, style number 7523. How many could be left? They came with a 160 horse power, 331ci V8 engine and a 4 speed Hydra-Matic transmission. Even after 60 plus years this car still has it's number matching engine and transmission. Paper work has been found that puts this car in Tucson, Arizona in 1979 and we believe it has spent its life in Arizona. No rust found anywhere. Nothing better then an Arizona rust free car. Looking at the pics you can tell it is now a restoration in progress. A complete professional restoration was started about 10 years back. About two years into it, health and money issues came up and the restoration stopped. For the last 8 years this car has been setting, covered up, in a climate controlled storage area and is just now being offered up for sale. During the restoration and storage time we have found that some parts have came up missing. The missing parts, bumpers, hubcaps, tail lights are not unique to this model and can be acquired easily. Some already have been located here in Arizona. The engine has not been started recently but it does turn easily by hand. The work that has already been done on this car is nothing short of perfection. The body has not been off the frame but everything connected to the body has been removed, cleaned and painted like a mirror in black. Every area of this car, under hood, under the trunk, door jams, dash and even the drip rail areas have the same deep deep shine as the main body. A capital "EXCELLENT" is the only word to express the quality of this paint. No orange peel anywhere on this car and you can't miss the depth of the shine in my pics. It reflects everything in the garage. There are although, 2 chips and a small area on the bottom of the driver side rear door that will need paint touch up and repair. Along with all the paint and body work that has already been done, comes a complete set of new tinted glass and a new set of 4 electric window regulators to replace the original hydraulic style used in those days.(All hydraulic parts are also included) Another costly part of this restoration, that has already been completed, is all 30 plus pieces of the exterior stainless trim have all been professionally straighten, if needed, and show polished. The brakes and hydraulic system, along with all the wheel bearings have also been redone. New tires and exhaust system are also included in the already done items. Not sure what the total dollar amount already invested in this car is. I can say for sure, the paint job alone would cost you between $15,000 and $20,000 today. A lot has been done.....a lot is left for you.....finish it your way and have a really special ride. I am sure I have forgotten something important to you as a bidder, so please ask any and all questions you feel necessary before bidding. Glad to answer them and more pics are also available. For more pics please contact be direct at az1pappabear@cox.net. For questions, I can also be reached a 520-296-7559. I you would like, a personal inspection of this car can also be arranged for you or your representative. Winning bidder must make contact within 48 hours(2 days) of auction ending. A non-refundable deposit of $1000.00 must be received within 72 hours (3 days) of auction ending. Unless other arrangement have been made, the balance due must be paid within 7 days of auction ending and bank cleared before the car can be shipped or picked up. The only exception would be if the buyer wants to pay cash at time of pickup. NO OTHER EXCEPTIONS.

2015 Cadillac ATS-V gunning for the BMW M3
Mon, 03 Jun 2013Spy photographers have spotted something interesting. Cadillac engineers have taken to public streets with the upcoming ATS-V and a playmate: the current BMW M3 Sedan. The prototype seen here wears a more aggressive front fascia, flared fenders and beefy brakes. Quad exhaust tips and what looks to be a small lip spoiler on the trunk deck sum up the most obvious visual changes over the standard ATS outside. Word has it the ATS-V will bow with the same twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 available in the nose of the XTS. In that application, the engine is good for a stout 410 horsepower, which should be more than enough to hustle the sedan around a track.
Other details are still murky, however. First and foremost: will GM offer the ATS-V with an honest manual transmission, like it does with its big brother, the CTS-V? Something tells us we won't have long to wait to find out - the machine will likely bow next year as a 2015 model. Until then, dig in on our newest bevy of spy photos.
Cadillac planning its own engines, halo cars
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Cadillac is in the midst of some big changes. It's got a new chief executive. It's taking some distance from parent company General Motors and moving to a new headquarters in New York. And it's instituting a new naming scheme that will allow not only for a more clear progression in its lineup, but also for more models. But that's not the end of the story. Not by a long shot.
Speaking with Automobile magazine, Cadillac's new president Johan de Nysschen revealed his intention to develop several new models and powertrains. For starters, he does not want Cadillac to continue borrowing engines from the GM parts bin, but intends to develop a new range of engines specifically for the luxury automaker. The program will likely start with smaller-capacity engines but eventually lead to new V8s as well, taking the place of the long-serving Northstar engine that finally ended its lifespan a few years ago after some two decades of production. Along with other technologies, de Nysschen envisions possibly sharing these powertrains with other GM divisions, but developing them first and foremost for Cadillac.
The bigger question, however, is where those engines would go, and de Nysschen had some thoughts to share on that front as well. For starters, the former Infiniti and Audi exec sees room for an even bigger sedan above the upcoming new CT6 that will cap the current range. Maybe even two of them. But that's not all. Johan wants to see Cadillac get (back) into the sports car game with a new halo model or two - something it hasn't really done since the Corvette-based XLR roadster. A pair of new crossovers are also said to be in the works, flanking the SRX on both sides with smaller and larger models.
