Here is a 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille (2 door) selling at no reserve. The car is showing 28,176 miles, which I assume is 128,176. It has the original 390 V-8 with the automatic transmission. The car is black with the original black and white interior with solid floorboards and undercarriage. This is an excellent candidate for high point restoration, hot rod or anything in between. The car was originally white.

This car has sat for quite a while (indoors) and the engine has the intake manifold off, although I have all the parts. The front driver side fender is bent upwards just a little and is interfering with opening the drivers side door (the door can still open). There are three areas on the body that have been repaired (lower fenders, see photos). Other than those issues, the car is in all around good, but unrestored condition with everything there and complete. The fenders and wheel wells are solid. The car is loaded with features not seen on most 1950's cars. These include

Factory Air Conditioning
Power Seats
Power Windows
Power Trunk Closure.

The dash has some cracks and a fitted dash cover is in place (this comes right off, see photos with and without)

The car is located in Petersburg, MI and is available for inspection at any time before the auction is over. I would encourage you to come and look at it if you live close enough so that you're satisfied with what you see and are comfortable bidding.

This has a clear California title. The car still has the CA black plates, although they are expired.


With a little work, this car could be a real head-turner and a great driver. The '59 Cadillac is the apex of the fin era, it doesn't get better than this and this is no 4-door sedan either, the 2-door Coupe De Ville has the smoothest lines of any model that year, in my opinion. This is a highly desirable model even among other '59 Caddys and not to be missed.

PAYMENT AND SHIPPING: I'll need to be payed in full within a week. Cash, Money Order, Western U, Personal Check (I'll have to wait a day or so for this to clear), even Paypal (I'ld prefer not Paypal, since they take a percentage, but if that's what you want to use, I can live with it). The buyer is responsible for pick-up or shipping. If it's going to take a while to arrange, that's OK, I can put it in dry storage here, it's not in my way if it's going to take you a bit to pick it up. I have an open flat bed trailer and can deliver it within a reasonable distance for a reasonable charge (say $1/mile for however far Mapquest says it is) and would consider delivering it over long distance at this rate if you can work with me on schedule. If you're at a loss about shipping, I've used UShip.com in the past with good results.

GM recalls 2014 Cadillac CTS recall

Wed, 02 Jul 2014

No, that headline isn't a typo - General Motors has reportedly issued a recall for one of its own recalls. The recall of a recall affects the recall of the 2014 Cadillac CTS, which wasn't supposed to be recalled. Except that the 2014 CTS was supposed to be recalled. Oh no, now we've gone cross-eyed.
Allow us to explain. The redesigned, third-generation CTS Sedan does not feature a faulty ignition switch, while the 2014 CTS Coupe and Wagon, which are based on the second-gen car, do. And as it turns out, there are only 264 of those vehicles included in last week's 8.2-million-unit, ignition-switch recall. Model year 2003 to 2013 CTS Sedans, Coupes and Wagons are still covered.
It's not entirely clear how this, frankly, colossal mistake was made, although we're betting GM is rapidly trying to get to the bottom of this embarrassing issue. Regardless, let's just take what solace we can in there being one less vehicle that GM has recalled this year.

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad

Fri, 05 Jul 2013

European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.

Jeep Twitter account hacked, bad language, poor grammar and some hilarity ensue

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Just a day after Burger King's Twitter account was compromised by "unauthorized users," Jeep's social media feed has been similarly hacked. Both instances of digital incursion share some similarities - the BK hackers changed the company's logo for McDonald's familiar golden arches, saying a sale had occurred, while the Jeep miscreants have replaced Jeep's branding with that of General Motors property Cadillac.
The resulting tweets from the damaged Jeep account have been a pretty brutal, to put it bluntly. Most of the content coming from the hacked account is unpublishable here, using language that is peppered with racial epithets, and poorly worded "shout outs."
In addition to the defamatory tweets themselves, the hackers have significantly altered the layout of the page. Jeep's header image now features a picture of the Cadillac ATS to go along with the Wreath and Crest, some language calling out that car as winning the 2013 North American Car of the Year award, and this gem: "The official Twitter handle for the Jeep(R) - Just Empty Every Pocket, Sold To Cadillac =[" Also, perhaps in an ode to yesterday's Burger King heist, the background image for the page now features a McDonald's-themed donk. The devil's in the details, we guess.
