Orlando, Florida, United States

Up for auction is a truly remarkable a piece of American classic in automotive history for any beginning classical car enthusiast. THE LAST OF THE DOUBLE FIN CARS! A 1961 Cadillac DeVille 4 door sedan body by Fisher. This vehicle was originally purchased in Pennsylvania and garage kept as the previous owner refused to drive it in the rain or snow. I had the vehicle shipped down to Florida where for the most part has been garaged at my mechanics shop. I drove it for a few months until I started work on it. The odometer reads 65,440 which in both my opinion and my mechanics opinion based on its current condition seems to be right. This isn’t your average 1961 Cadillac rust bucket as I’ve seen for sale in other places. This car is 96% RUST FREE VEHICLE! Just needs your tender love and care! This is not a barn find! It hasn’t been sitting outside in someone’s yard for years. Hands down the most solid 61 I’ve seen for the price! Exterior: For a 51 year old car the body is in excellent condition. The body has no rust or rust holes or structurally weak panels. This vehicle doesn’t have a single dent, dings or scratches. The silver paint and clear coat still shines bright. This vehicle may have been previously painted and I had someone professional look at it and they couldn’t tell (It was done right!!) As far as our underbody I had it up on a lift and all was good no rust, everything was there and in place. Wheel wells are solid with no rust and no holes. Windows are all intact with no cracks, or chips. This vehicle has a lot of chrome and from a distance it looks great, up close you can still see yourself but has very minor bubbling (the size of a match head or smaller). The vehicle has all body trim and pieces. Finding these parts is expensive and this vehicle isn’t missing a piece! The emblems are all there and solidly mounted on the body. The windshield will need a new silicone seal around the windshield as it has a very minor dripping leak. (Noticed it when I washed the car) All headlights, tail lights, and fog lights work. Interior: Again for a 51 year old car it’s not bad at all just needs a small makeover. The car is rodent free!! The seats were at some point reupholstered with black cloth. I had put seat covers on when I drove it. Seat springs are still good. The vinyl dash has very minor cracks nothing to be an eye sore and still intact. Chrome on dash is still good and shines. Interior lights and dash lights don’t work could just be bulbs or maybe wires. Headliner is solid with no holes no sagging. The car is going to need carpeting in both the inside and the trunk area. It has carpet now but the carpet is not in the best of condition. The only place this car has rust is in the trunk. (Its surface rust only) No holes or weak spots in the metal. Most of the weather stripping is good, yet some pieces need to be replaced, like the trunk area. The door panels need to be reupholstered as some of the stitching has come undone. This car has all knobs and buttons except for cruise control switch is missing. I noticed minor rust in the door area behind interior door panel nothing major. Back seat is good and features an arm rest. The back rear window area behind the seat has warped and can easily be replaced. (As shown in pictures) All interior trim and molding pieces are mounted in place (Nothing is missing). This car features the original factory stereo but has no speakers. All floor panels are solid with no holes or weak spots. Mechanical: The 1961 Cadillac was truly ahead of its time and featured power seats, power window, power door locks, electric trunk release, cruise control, automatic lights, and automatic windshield wipers. The engine is an original 390 V8. The engine is the main issue as (It has a blown piston) but still turns over to start. The 4 speed transmission shifts fine when I drove it (No leaks). The drive train is solid as well powering its RWD. All belts and pulleys are good and solid. Some window switches short out from time to time (Not all). New Parts Invested: New spark plugs & wires (valued at 150.00) New windshield wipers (valued at $ 20.00) New alternator (valued at 225.00) New filters & oil filters (valued at $ 110.00) New battery (valued at $100.00) Brand new (still in the box) Polished Holly 4 barrel carburetor (valued at $325.00) New gas tank and lines (valued at $475.00 includes tank straps) NOTES: This car doesn’t come with a warranty! (IT IS SOLD AS IS) All sales are final. You will be responsible for shipping costs and arranging and scheduling a pickup. I have described everything about this vehicle to the best of my knowledge. CONTACT ME PRIOR WITH ANY QUESTIONS 202-425-9932 I had the vehicle professionally inspected and two different mechanics told me I had a fairly solid car other that the minor things needed to be done. (Again its 51 years old). I bought the car with plans to restore it but realized I didn’t have the time to deal with it, and don’t have a place to park it anymore. If you’re looking for a classic with minor restoration efforts and costs then this is definitely the vehicle for you. Don’t miss this opportunity.
Yes there are other Cadillac’s from $300.00 to $5500.00 but most of them are all rusted out. Replacing and fixing rusted fenders and panels is costly, both in material and in labor. Then you have to sand prime and paint….. Don’t put yourself through the aggravation. Buy a solid fixer upper (THIS CAR IS NOT MISSING A SINGLE PART) so you can be out on the road quick! This car is as solid as it gets for the price! Happy Bidding! |

2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6 AWD
Wed, 27 Feb 2013All-Wheel, All Right
There is no escaping the luxury all-wheel drive empire Audi has built for itself over the past 15 years. While nearly every high-end marque has at least one offering with power at all four corners, the hardware can't help but play second fiddle to Ingolstadt's Quattro kingdom. Leather-lined all-wheel drive is simply Audi the way minimum wage is an English degree. But General Motors seems hell-bent on raiding as many established fiefdoms as possible with the 2013 Cadillac ATS. Engineers and designers made no secret of the fact that the baby Cadillac was penned specifically to take on the BMW 3 Series, but Audi should be no less concerned about the newest luxury prince from Detroit.
GM has been stuffing all-wheel drive systems under their vehicles for years, but the effort hasn't come without nasty side effects. Unfortunate understeer, extra ride height, smallish wheels and porky curb weight meant opting for all-wheel drive was like signing your driving pleasure's death warrant. Would you like polished brass or brushed nickel hardware for your right foot's coffin, sir?
No, Eminem is not giving away the Cadillac Ciel concept, Facebookers
Thu, Dec 4 2014Damn it, Facebook people, stop being so gullible. When you see something on social media that requires you to share or like a status or page in exchange for a chance at winning something, it's almost always a hoax. This goes for iPads, or Bill Gates giving away cash or, yes, an Eminem fan page giving away a Cadillac Ciel. Now, normally we'd simply ignore this utter hogwash, but it's getting some traction on Facebook and, annoyingly, is beginning to clog our newsfeed. Ignoring the fact that the Ciel is a pure concept car that likely can't even be registered for regular use, there are more than a few things that should give this nonsense away as a hoax. First, Eminem has only ever gotten in bed with one automaker – Chrysler. It seems unlikely that he'd defect simply to give away a car on Facebook. Secondly, the page that is putting on the giveaway isn't even a verified page – Eminem's real Facebook fan page has 97 million likes, this one has 622,000. Third, a quick look at the caption for the Ciel's photo, shown above, reveals the sort of grammatical mess that no serious contest would allow. Take a look (sic implied throughout): "Only 24 Days Until Christmas, Can you Imagine yourself driving this Car? I'm about to make that happen, Its Official, I Will be giving away this 2014 Cadillac Ciel to one random lucky fan, all you gotta do is follow these three easy steps, Step 1) Share this photo, Step 2) Like my page, Slim Shady Step 3) Like this photo, Winner Will be picked On December 5th 4 Days Away, Good luck to Everyone!!" We reached out to Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell just for fun. Apparently, this photo and schtick pops up every few months with virtually the same text, only to vanish at the end of the "giveaway." You're as shocked as we are, right? So, once again folks, just because it's on the Internet doesn't mean it's true. If your friends, family and acquaintances are blowing up your Facebook feed and social network channels with this nonsense, be sure to set 'em straight with a link to this story – we're sure the real Slim Shady will appreciate it.
de Nysschen pushes to separate Cadillac, GM
Wed, Aug 12 2015Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen continues his push to separate his brand from General Motors. After controversially picking up shop and moving to New York's trendy SoHo neighborhood, de Nysschen has now gone on record as saying that within two years, the brand will enjoy "a far higher degree of autonomy and self sufficiency." That autonomy will include the brand reporting its own financial results, independent of GM. But what would such a move do for Cadillac? Well, as de Nysschen explained it to Automotive News, "Cadillac at this state makes a very sizeable contribution to the overall profit at General Motors." If that's truly the case, separating financial announcements serves to emphasize the prosperous character de Nysschen seems so keen on attaching to his brand. But that's only one phase of Cadillac's push to distance itself from GM. De Nysschen is eager to revamp the company's dealership model so that it stands out from other GM brands, calling it a "very profound focus." Those moves, according to AN, including a change to the current dealer incentive model with a particular emphasis on building the brand rather than nailing sales figures. "If you aren't strengthening the brand perception, you should have less reward," de Nysschen told AN. While his goals seem clear, de Nysschen's statements have left us wondering whether they're also somewhat counterintuitive. Emphasizing Caddy's prosperity to potential consumers while incentivizing dealers to move less metal seems more like a tactical move rather than a strategic one. And there's no telling how the new dealership model will impact de Nysschen's goal to hit 500,000 global sales by 2020. Related Video:
