1956 Cadillac Sedan deVille - 9,874 Original Miles
You are looking at an original, garage kept mechanical jewel from another era. I am the second owner of this
wonderful car and I bought it in 1973 with 7,744 miles on the odometer. As you can see, I've only driven it 2,100
miles in 42 years. During this time the car has been in a climate controlled garage and driven and started
regularly.
This lovely lady was originally purchased by an elderly lady in Washington, D.C. She sold it to me as she was
losing her ability to drive safely and as you can see from the mileage she drove it hardly. The evidence of her
failing ability are the scars the car bears on its right front fender and right rear quarter as she attempted to
navigate her one car garage. The scars were never properly repaired from when she damaged it over 50 years ago.
This treasure is original in every way; paint, interior and engine. Below I will list only the things that have
been repaired or replaced. It is a very short list. The car is so original it even smells like the 50's and my
childhood sitting in cars of this vintage. Look at the chrome, switch gear, seats and headliner. They are like new
and untouched.
If the car needs anything it is some paint work and use. I have not driven it because I thought the value would
continue to increase. Sadly, this has not been the case. My delay in using my treasure is your gain. She really
does need a new owner who will be willing to drive her, show her and love her.Items Repaired/Replaced

Opel director Sedran to succeed Docherty as Chevy Europe boss
Wed, 26 Jun 2013When longtime General Motors executive Susan Docherty announced she would be stepping down from her post as the head of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe, there was some idle chatter that plans for the creation of a new global overseer position for the Bowtie brand was behind the move. And while US sales chief Alan Batey has indeed assumed control of Chevy worldwide since her departure announcement, Docherty's vacancy is being filled after all, with Opel chief strategist Thomas Sedran taking up the reins.
That's according to Automotive News, who reports that Sedran will be tasked with pulling Chevy out of a sales funk, much of it pegged on Europe's stagnant auto industry, which has sunk to a 20-year low. AN notes that Chevy's EU sales plunged 32 percent to 57,584 units through the first five months of 2013, but the everyday value brand is faring worlds better than Cadillac, which has sold just 167 units in Europe over the same time period.
Sedran, 48, has been in the auto industry for over 20 years. Most recently, at Opel he had been working on long-term plans for the marque, and was appointed to the brand's management board in April of last year. Prior to joining GM, Sedran was employed as a management consultant for AlixPartners, where he worked closely with Opel for six years. Sedran will assume his new duties beginning July 1.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
