    THE 1957 CADILLAC ELDORADO

 

Cadillac's completely restyled 1957 Eldorado borrowed heavily from the lines of the Park Avenue, a hardtop sedan concept car shown at the 1954 Motorama.  A new X-member chassis contributed to structural rigidity as well as to a profile nearly three inches lower than before.

The Eldorado Biarritz and Seville had their own rear-end configuration. The work of Ron Hill, a talented 23-year-old design newcomer, it featured a sloped deck flanked by rounded fenders sprouting sharply pointed fins.  The lower rear fenders were liberally garnished with chrome.  The hood ornament was eliminated, contributing to a smoother frontal appearance.  Overall, the 1957 Eldorado was more readily distinguishable from other Cadillacs than any Eldorado since the original.  The standard horsepower was 300, more than enough power to get the job done.

THE “ORIGINAL” INTERIOR OF THIS 1957 ELDORADO IS IN AMAZING “SURVIVOR” CONDITION!  THIS BEAUTIFULLY STYLED VINTAGE AMERICAN LUXURY CAR RUNS AND DRIVES WONDERFULLY!

 

 

This Eldorado is 57 years old, so some signs of age are to be expected!  Let me first say that much of this car appears to be in amazing unrestored original condition.  However, I’m sure that a few items were replaced or rebuilt through the years.  I know the tires were replaced, and I assume the engine and transmission were rebuilt as it runs like it was new!  

 

This Eldorado has an amazing original “survivor” interior in excellent condition.  As would be expected, the clock is not currently working, very common for a vehicle this age.  The original factory radio does come on, but does not play.  I do believe the antenna is not plugged in, so that could be the problem.  The padded dash looks great and is soft and supple.  The glove box lock is not working and the door is being held closed with a spring.  The driver side ash tray is being held closed with silicone. 

 

The exterior is beautiful but not perfect!  The chrome bumpers have been rechromed.  The front bumpers look great, but do show some issues on the driver’s side lower piece.  The rear bumpers and tail light housings do have pitting, some corrosion and pealing.  There are three very minor windshield wiper scuffs that I believe will polish out.  The paint has a good shine but would benefit from a good polishing.  The paint does show some age as there is some cracking on the hood.  There are indications that the car may have had some minor body repair and the car was resprayed sometime in the past.  There is a scuff on the right rear stainless that can be repaired.  The sabre wheels show some pitting and minor chips. 

 

The trunk interior is in beautiful condition and holds what appears to be the original spare tire.  Most everything under the hood appears to be stock original components that have been refreshed as some time.  The license plates shown on the car are not included in the sale.

 

The odometer reading above is as it reads and is most likely not the total miles. 

 

 

This Cadillac Eldorado Seville will turns heads and gets thumbs up virtually everywhere it goes!

Cadillac HQ has a New York address

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

The new home of Cadillac will be in the 330 Hudson building in New York City's Hudson Square, putting the luxury marque smack dab in the middle of three of the city's hippest areas, SoHo, Greenwich Village and Tribeca.
The announcement is yet another milestone in the company's controversial decision to relocate administrative and marketing operations away from Detroit and into the Big Apple.
"The addition of a headquarters office in New York is a key step in Cadillac's ongoing global expansion," Cadillac boss Johan de Nysschen said, according to The Detroit Free Press. "There is no better atmosphere in which to better immerse ourselves into luxury consumer and brand expertise."

Cadillac LTS flagship to bow at NY Auto Show

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

There is widespread agreement across the industry that Cadillac needs a proper, rear-drive flagship sedan that completes legitimately with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series.
Fortunately, the same view is held within the company, and just such a car - possibly dubbed LTS - is under development. According to a high-level source at Cadillac, the new four-door, which is said to incorporate design cues from the marque's celebrated Elmiraj coupe concept, will debut at the New York Auto Show next April.
If the car needs a cheerleader, surely incoming president Johan de Nysschen is just such a person. De Nysschen doesn't arrive at Cadillac until late in the month, but certainly he will want a proper flagship to do battle with his old foes at Mercedes-Benz and BMW and old friends at Audi and Infiniti.

Cadillac confirms 420-hp twin-turbo V6 for 2014 CTS [w/videos]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

The 2014 CTS will break cover next week at the New York Auto Show, but Cadillac has released a few details of what we can expect to find under the car's hood. As we saw in some spy shots back in January, the biggest news for the midsize Caddy will be a twin-turbocharged V6 producing a whopping 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
This LF3 engine will be paired to a new eight-speed automatic transmission, which will help balance performance and fuel economy. We still don't know how much the 2014 CTS has grown in terms of size and weight, but General Motors says that new sedan will return 17 miles per gallon in the city and 25 mpg highway with the new engine to go with a 0-60 mile per hour time of 4.6 seconds - that means the new CTS will have the fuel economy close to the current base model sedan and acceleration not too far from the current CTS-V. General Motors also confirmed that this twin-turbo V6 will be available in the 2014 XTS this fall.
The next-generation CTS will carry over the 3.6-liter V6 from the current car (likely as a base engine) and also add the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder from the ATS. Check out all the details on this new engine and watch a few videos (including GM's nifty tilt rig) by scrolling below.
