This beautiful classic has so much to offer! The Cadillac was purchased in 2005 by the father, and later in 2007 passed down to his sons. It held a special bond between the father and his sons. They enjoyed working on the Cadillac together. When the father passed the boys decided it was not the same without their father. Nor do they have as much time these days to enjoy this beautiful car. The sons a list of believed past owners compiled by their father (Along with a 1984 title copy) According to thier fathers extensive log their is a comprehensive list of work done after his purchase. Previous to purchase, a repaint in 1999, base coat and clear coat. Top was painted in 2007 to give a two tone effect. Car recently received new valve job, new valves and springs, flush block, coolant system, and three cores. Car also has new wheel cylinders, axle seals, all new lines, and shoes with over 80 percent left. A rebuild wiper motor, fuel pump, carburetor, distributor, vacuum advance, five new tires and tubs! The sons have only put 198 miles on it since 2007. Paint- Prevoius to purshase acomplete repaint in 1999, later the roof was painted to give it the two tone effect. Colors are actual1947 Cadillac available combination. The repaint was very professionally done and is extremely smooth and shiny in all areas. (see pictures. Most of the pictures where taken in the shade. When inspecting car in the bright light, it matches well all the way around. It has been rubbed to a glass like finish, and has been inspected by Chad in very bright florescent lighting to bring out any flaws. There are a dozen or so pinhead sized imperfections being extremely critical, on right side of hood and a few on top painted area. They can only be seen in the exact perfect angle under florescent light. There are a few small brush touched areas, located above the rear bumper, below the trunk, spot on left rear quarter, and a few on the nose.(see pictures) Body- The car is as straight as you could possibly expect it to be, much like when it brand new. It is in beautiful condition! Maybe a light almost unnoticeable dimple on the right rear door that can hardly been seen or photographed. Also one small flaw on the edge of the hood, just about a foot behind the antenna. (see photos) The fits of the hood, trunk, and doors are very uniform all the way around. All four doors open and close very well, with just the right amount of snap when you close them. They are beautifully set in position and open very nicely. Magnet- When randomly going over the body and performing random readings, I did not find any area that showed to not be steel. Including all fenders, doors, hood, and trunk. Indicating no signs of non metallic areas. Bright Work- This car has an extremely large amount of bright work! Which is one of the reasons this car looks so fabulous, and why this era is so popular. All bright work seems to be in place like it should be, and all appears to be secured properly. The family had explained that the filler tabs(in the back of the front doors) that fills over the screws, and the bright work in the license plates lights are ofter missing or painted. Which in this case is an example of why car very complete! The bright work that is surrounding or near all the windows looks like a car of only a year or two old. The bright work is free from small dents that you would usually see. Being extremely critical there is one small pin head size dent above the drivers windshield, and a slight amount of pitting on the windshield wiper bases. The outside mirrors on either side show no wear. The door handles only show a slight amount of pitting, and wear on the rear handles upon close inspection. The chrome running under the Cadillac emblems on the side, the lower third of car, as well as the bumpers front and rear, and grill shine beautifully. Other than a little slight wear on the bumpers is it almost flawless and very striking. Inside of bumpers have been coated, which gives it a very nice looking finish (From the bottom side, or looking out from an angle) Glass- Side glass looks great (side glass with the exceptions of the drivers side crank window being of a different manufacturer) The rear glass, and the front two windshield pieces are all marked as “high test safety LOF plate”. Glass seems nice and clear with out any apparent discoloring. The front windshield does have some light pin head size nicks from driving, as well as some light wiper scuffs on the driver window. The four cranking windows do have some light delimitation. Starting just at the top 1/4to 1/2inch area, and the back edge of the rear cranking windows. When these windows are up it is hardly noticeable. All four cranking door windows have about the same amount of delimitation as the photos show up close.
Interior- The owners had indicated that it is believed the headliner, sun visors, and all seat materials, and door trims are original. To the best of their knowledge. The carpet is questionable, and they have no knowledge of its age. Review the pictures closely you will see that headliner is intact and all seems proper, and in great condition. The seats have very minimal amount of age, and wear, as do the door panels, and back of front seats. Sun visors all have good backing, and looking closely at pictures of bright work, and instrumentation as well as the chrome on the surrounding window areas. .It has very little wear and shows extremely well. Also notice that the steering wheel is in great condition. The simulated wood was reconditioned some years ago. Trunk- The trunk appearance with the spare tire cover, bottom side of trunk, and attention to detail is very striking. Upon looking at the pictures you will see the that tire and wheel match, and are painted and stripped just as the other four on the car. It is very detailed and includes tire changing tools. Upon lifting and disassembling the interior of the trunk, you will see a very natural solid flooring and original materials underneath the tire. Also note the cap and bolt that are part of the spare tire mounting. Tires and wheels- Looking closely between the tread, you will notice there is no cracking. The condition and presentation of these tires, and wheels is just beautiful. You will find that the wheels are painted, and striped impeccably. Trim ring and cap looking very crisp and fresh, any damage noticed from curb or other. Same is true of all the tires, you will not see any damage. BF Goodrich Silver town Tube Type 4 Ply Left Front- 7.00-15 Tread 12/32 Right Front- 7.00-15 Tread 12/32 Left Rear- 7.00-15 Tread 12/32 Left Rear- 7.00-15 Tread 12/32 Engine and Transmission- Please look closely at all the detailed pictures, and you will see everything from the labels, to the vin number on the block, that matches frame and title. You will see the re-done porcelain manifolds, wiring, nuts, bolts, and the attention to detail in the engine compartment. It is very professionally done. Nothing looks to be modified or altered from the cars original state.
Chassis and Frame- Upon inspecting the frame, and the floor, it is nice to see that it has been left very natural. Not able to see any apparent areas of repair, near the frame or the floor. Nor did I see any rust perforation. I liked how the car has been lift un coated, just as they had received it. You can really get a feel for how nice, and original the car is. I did not see anything more than the normal amount of light oil seepage, that components will have. Transmission will drip from time to time, and if left sitting may develop a small puddle. You will notice in the back, the auxiliary electric fuel pump. Mechanical- Chad rode in the car with owner, than drove himself several miles back. The Cadillac starts, runs, accelerates, decelerates, and is operating as it should. The up shifting, and down shifting, all seems to be working properly. Car is steering and braking properly, and I did not notice any pulsating or pulling to the left or right. After driving and letting car idle the oil gauge is reading 30/32 pounds, and temp has moved just a touch off cold. Checking with an infrared thermometer car seems to be running as it should. Gas gauge is working correctly and battery charging gauge moves up when car is given a little gas. Want to note there is a small toggle switch underneath the heater controls that’s is an auxiliary electronic fuel pump. Which are common to be added to cars of this era. This helps start car after sitting for storage, or after car is being restarted warm (vapor lock)

Cadillac CT6 to get twin-turbo V8
Wed, Feb 25 2015Say what you will about his decisions at Infiniti and now Cadillac, but Cadillac CEO Johan de Nysschen knows how to deliver a compelling interview. During an online Q&A session with Jalopnik readers, de Nysschen offered substantial hints at what's coming for the brand. By dropping coordinates on the brand's star chart, in reading the entire thing and connecting the dots you can see a Cadillac that is much grander than the one we know now. The CT6 that got revealed during the Oscars telecast? Answering the question of whether it would have the performance to compete with a Mercedes S550 or BMW 750, de Nysschen said the big sedan's "lightweight body structure allows us to achieve formidable performance even with a twin-turbo V6. Imagine how this car would perform with a twin-turbo V8." In clarifying a subsequent question that also dealt with how the CT6 would compare to German rivals, he wrote that the CT6 would have "a very wide mix of engines, starting with a two-liter turbo, up to, eventually, a high-performance advanced V8 turbo." Patience and the future and the word "eventually" were heavy themes. The brand will embrace diesel engines as well, de Nysschen writing, "We will have four-cylinder and six-cylinder diesel engines, but not before 2019." As to the return of something like the XLR, which was Corvette muscle underneath a Cadillac body, he wrote, "I think in the fullness of time, we will get around to developing a high-performance, very-emotive sports car as a halo for the Cadillac brand. But we have so many projects to occupy us through 2020 that this will have to wait a little while." And on the design language across model lines, which enthusiast Cassandras have warned is too similar (as if that hasn't worked out for the Germans), he wrote that it is "undergoing gradual evolution and you will notice stunning new designs in future models, which remain unmistakably Cadillac and reflect our DNA but which take our sophisticated Art and Science design to a new level." But of course he would say that, which is what brings us back to patience and the future and eventually, when we'll see what this all really means. It all reads well enough, and we'd love to see it happen. One thing we won't see are the ducks that once adorned the Cadillac crest; when a reader asked if he could have them back, de Nysschen said, "No, you can't have them back. I play with them each night in my bath." Head over to Jalopnik for the full read. It's worth it.
Driving the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V at the old Elkhart Lake road course
Wed, Jun 24 2015The placid community around Elkart Lake, WI, looks about as far removed from a glorious motorsport venue as you can imagine. A turn of the century downtown gives way to old-school resorts, beaches, and boat launches around the picturesque lake, with farms framing the rolling hills all around. But it was those very same meandering country lanes that gave birth to one of America's greatest racing circuits, some 65 years ago. Between the first race in 1950 and the opening of the dedicated Road America track in 1956, the roads around Elkhart Lake provided the setting for some great post-war racing. Competing on public streets was ultimately outlawed across the country, but not before drivers risked life and limb in the name of glory in the Wisconsin summer. Cadillac asked us out to the area recently, not to talk racing history, but to look forward at one of the most track capable cars the company has ever offered: the 2016 CTS-V. We got to drive the 640-horsepower beastie for an entire morning of hot laps at Road America, but unfortunately, we're not allowed to tell you about all of that right now. You'll have to wait until the embargo lifts on August 3, at which point we promise a full recounting of our adventure. Having the CTS-V for a full two days though, and in the spirit of the motorsport that imbues the air in Elkhart Lake, we took the Cadillac on a drive around the old 6.5-mile road course. Come for the new Caddy, but stick around to find out what the hell Wacker's Wend is. Cadillac Luxury Performance Videos
Cadillac tipped to call flagship something other than LTS
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without large sedans in its lineup, and while the XTS has had to hold down that end of the fort all on its own, it won't have to for too long. That's because the luxury brand in the General Motors portfolio is preparing to roll out its new LTS, stylistically previewed by the Elmiraj concept pictured above. Only now, the latest thinking is that the upcoming flagship model may not be called LTS at all.
As Automotive News points out, Cadillac's naming scheme is all over the place at the moment. The ATS slotting below the CTS makes sense (alphabetically), but where do the ELR, SRX and especially the Escalade fit into that naming hierarchy? And how would LTS - as the project has been known until now - sit above the XTS?
Fortunately, Cadillac may be on the case, as two of the division's most recent senior appointments seem keen to rationalize the naming scheme. One is Uwe Ellinghaus, who joined Cadillac as chief marketing officer late last year. Speaking of the brand's nomenclature last spring, Ellinghaus was quoted as saying, "We are aware that this is currently a weakness of the Cadillac brand." And his new boss is bound to agree.
