1957 Cadillac Coupe Deville, Rust Free, Original, Stored 29 Years on 2040-cars

Year:1957 Mileage:73000
Location:

1957 Cadillac Coupe Deville.  This is a rust free original car in storage since 1984.  This car was bought from the original owners in Arizona in 1984.  The car is all original and totally rust free.  When bought the car  was equipped with new tires, brakes, exhaust and driven over 800 miles where it was put into a private museum.  I bought the car from the museum last year.  Upon getting the car I rebuilt the engine, water pump, boiled out the radiator, and cleaned the gas tank.  All lights, radio, antenna, seats, and windows work. The doors close like a new car.  All the rubber seals are original and still soft. This is the nicest original car I have ever seen. The original interior is beautiful with the exception of some minor wear on the front seat by the driver.  I have shown the bad spot on the drivers seat. I have put a new emblem on the hood. I might take part trade on a 54 to 64 unrestored Cadillac Eldorado. Sold where is as is.  Make your inspections and ask your questions before you bid.  Shipping is buyer’s responsibility, but I will help arrange. Payment in full due within 7 days of auction end by bank transfer. Please e-mail or call 630-542-0031 with questions.  Thanks for Looking!

Cadillac to vie for Secret Service armored car contract, new Beast?

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

President Obama has used the same armored limo since his inauguration in 2008. Known by many as The Beast, the Presidential Limo was provided by Cadillac and earned its nickname in large part because of its massive size, which isn't surprising considering that its Caddy-shaped bodywork is said to sit atop a heavy-duty truck chassis.
It seems the Secret Service may be in the market for a Beast replacement, having issued a request for proposals for a new armored limo. According to Motor Trend, Obama's backup limo is a leftover from the Bush Administration, so it will be interesting to see if this new machine will serve as a replacement for The Beast or for its backup. The contract is to be awarded by September 29, 2013.
The boys from MT contacted Cadillac, Lincoln and Chrysler, and Chrysler is the only one that would confirm that it is not pursuing the contract. Cadillac may have the inside track, as it has provided Presidential limos since 1993, but Lincoln also has a long and storied history of chauffeuring the President.

Lansing builds its millionth Cadillac

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Cadillacs are built at plants across North America. The Escalade is assembled in Texas, the SRX in Mexico and the XTS in Ontario. But the bulk of Cadillac's lineup - or the smaller members of the family, at least - are built in Michigan. And while the upcoming ELR will be built alongside the Chevy Volt at the Detroit/Hamtramck facility (which incidentally opened with the Cadillac Eldorado back in '86), the majority of those Cadillacs built in Michigan are handled by the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant.
In fact, Lansing Grand River just celebrated its millionth Cadillac built. The landmark millionth vehicle is a new 2014 CTS sedan in Red Obsession Tintcoat. The facility opened in 2001 and has built Cadillacs almost exclusively since then, assembling the CTS and ATS model lines, though in a couple of years it will also handle production of the Chevy Camaro.

2014 Cadillac CTS

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

Fixated By Europeans, GM Ensures The Third Time Is A Charm
Few things are better for consumers than competition raising the bar. And no campaign seems fiercer than the one currently underway in the midsize sport-sedan segment now that Cadillac has introduced its all-new 2014 CTS to go head-to-head against the benchmark Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
While the CTS has been on the market for slightly more than a decade, up until this third-generation, Cadillac hasn't truly had the proper high-performance rear-wheel-drive architecture to build a genuine world-class fighter, both inside and out. And now that the American automaker has successfully mirrored Audi, BMW and Mercedes in overall vehicle size, engine output and cabin appointments, the first shots have been fired.
