1956 Cadillac Series 60 Special 4 Door Hardtop

The Sixty Special name was used at Cadillac to denote a Special model beginning with the 1938 Harley Earl designed Series 60. Soon after, the Sixty Special name would be synonymous for some of Cadillac's most luxurious vehicles. It was Fleetwood marketed, and enjoyed higher-priced amenities, molding, trim and upholstery, etc. than its less expensive sibling the series 62. It took over as Cadillac's most luxurious, owner-driven large model, ( as opposed to limosene models) a role it would fill through 1976. With trim inspired by the WWII Lockheed designed P-38 Lightning Fighter Aircraft, the Sixty Special featured a Bullet-Nosed front bumper, simulated side-scoops, and tail-fins patterned to resemble the P-38's vertical stabilizers. 1956 was the last year for the P-38 inspired tail fins on the rear of most Cadillacs.

This particular Cadillac has been stored for many years in indoor storage, and is in better than average condition. Air Conditionaing, Power Steering, Power Seats, and Power windows all work. Some interesting and unusual features include automatic dimming high beam lights for oncoming traffic, and 4 overhead air flow vents for passenger comfort. I have done little to it except to wash off the dust, clean it out, install a brand new battery, start it, and drive it for short distances around the block. I figure the new owner will most likely want to take care of anything else it may need. It is a good restoration candidate, or, with very little work, it could be a good daily driver. The pictures show a pretty accurate description of its condition. It has a strong, good running 365 cu in (5.98 L) powerplant.(originally rated as producing 285 horsepower). Approximately 91,200 miles on the odometer. It runs and drives good, but will need the brakes re-worked in that they currently do not hold pressure. The Park brake works well. Some minor rust issues in the rocker panels and rear bumper, but nothing to be overly concerned about. The floor pans and quarter panels are rust free. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best, I would rate this car a solid 8 or 9 for being straight and rust-free. The driver's seat fabric has some tatters and tears. The tires hold air and are in operable condition. The car is located for viewing in Littleton, Co., a suburb of Denver. I have set a low reserve to ensure a sale. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Cadillac executive appointments have global flair

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

Cadillac has rearranged its executive suite in order to take full advantage of its sales momentum. Don Butler is moving from his role as US VP of marketing to a newly created position with the title VP of global Cadillac strategic development. It will be his job to "drive the next phase of Cadillac growth internationally," planning strategy and developing new markets.
He will be replaced by Steve Majoros, an exec poached from Chevrolet's ad agency of record, Campbell Ewald. Majoros, who has the Chevrolet campaigns "Like a Rock" and "American Revolution" on his resume, will oversee Cadillac's US and international marketing.
Another component in the brand's renewed global focus includes conducting an ad agency review. Announced last month, Fallon Worldwide remains Cadillac's agency of record, but others, said to include Campbell Ewald, will be bidding to make the creative that helps Cadillac expand sales percentages by triple digits here and in China. Scroll down below for the official press release.

2014 Cadillac ELR is making green sexy in Detroit

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

In terms of styling, inside and out, the ELR hits the ball out of the park.
Cadillac has pulled the wraps off of its newest family member, the long-rumored, Voltec-powered, eye-catching extended range hybrid coupe called the ELR. The car makes use of the same basic architecture as the Chevrolet Volt, but has been thoroughly layered on with design, technology and performance tuning - with the goal of being a properly situated product for the Cadillac brand.

Cadillac CTS-V gets Stealth Blue and Silver Frost limited edition models

Fri, 15 Feb 2013

A little more than a year and a half ago, former weekend editor Alex Nunez and I were talking about how sweet it would be for Cadillac to offer a CTS-V in the Corvette's Supersonic Blue paint, and as if General Motors eavesdropped on our conversation, this showed up. And while the Stealth Blue car you see here isn't an exact duplicate of the hot-looking sedan GM showed off in prototype form, it's really close. And really sweet.
New for 2013, the Cadillac CTS range gets two new colorful editions, starting with the Stealth Blue package available on the CTS-V (in sedan, coupe and wagon bodystyles) as well as the naturally aspirated CTS coupe. In addition to the unique paint, blacked-out grille and dark satin wheels, Stealth Blue cars can also be done up with an optional Twilight Blue leather interior. (And you thought blue-on-blue color schemes died in the '90s.)
Cadillac is also offering a new Silver Frost package, but it's a bit more exclusive. Only 100 examples will be built, all in CTS-V Coupe form. The Silver Frost paint is a low-gloss matte finish, in that while it technically has a clearcoat covering, it's reduced in a way that the surface still appears flatter than standard paint. Even so, Cadillac states that the car should be hand-washed only.
