She's been around the block a few times. Looks great from a distance, flaws up close. (Like me! lol) Several chips and scratches. Was repainted about 20 years ago, taken to the bare metal. It's ready for paint again. Engine was rebuilt about 15 years ago. Could use brakes. Will go into more detail below."

Have owned this beauty for approximately 20 years.  Found her in a machine shed in a cemetery in LaSalle, IL.  The owner was a trucker named Numerio (wore a weird pony tail on the TOP of his head) and had many, many Caddy's in that building.  Sadly I didn't opt for the convertible!  Drove it right out of the shed.  I love this car.  My email is actually Cadillacbaby59.  I owned this with my exhole.  We also owned a dozen other cars at the same time.  When I opted to leave this man I took the 59 and 62 with me.  Sold the 62 but have kept the 59.  I've viewed it as a 'trophy' of sorts, for putting up with him.  Knowing he'd be jealous that it was mine and not his.  Well, I'm over it now and am realizing the car is going to waste sitting in the garage.  The car deserves a fresh owner.  One who will spruce her up and actually use her.  Did I mention her name?  Her name is FINESSE.  I find it fits the car perfectly. Will be using this money for a down payment on a new house.  I know you really could care less about all of this but it makes me feel better telling you.  This car made me feel special.  I was 'known' for this car.  You couldn't go ANYWHERE without admirers coming up and talking to you.  From the old timers to the youngsters.  Everyone seems to appreciate it's beauty.  Ok, I'm done, now on to the specifics.  


Most is self explanatory by looking at the photos.  Cracked dash. Some hazing on the bottom of the window glass. Cracked backseat passenger window. The proverbial broken horn ring.  The seats are in great condition.  Headliner is stained but not ripped.  Runs and drives.  Needs new brakes (right front caliper froze open). The right front fender and bumper are very slightly misaligned when the accelerator stuck in the below zero weather and it hit the garage (only 1-2 feet away). (The ex stupidly wanted to move it to the back garage in the dead of winter, ugh).   The 390 was rebuilt approximately 15 years ago and hasn't been driven over 500 miles since.  The odometer is broken.  The speedometer goes back and forth til you reach about 50 mph.  The gas gauge seems to run the opposite.  Just part of owning an old car and your fella wasn't a handy guy.  The scratches on the passenger side door is from my wheelchair scraping it while getting in. Comes with the original hubcaps.  The car comes "as is".

I think I will end it here.  If you have questions I will do my best to answer them.  All I know is when riding in this car I felt like the coolest chick on earth.  It's THAT awesome.

Cadillac expects major growth in China

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

The US sales issues facing Cadillac are not being paralleled in the People's Republic of China, as a new report from Automotive News indicates the US luxury maker should see its sales increase by as much as 40 percent.
The report cites Cadillac's own forecasts, which put its 2014 sales in the PRC at 70,000 units after cresting 45,000 vehicles at the end of August. Provided the sales pace holds true through 2015, the brand would hit its new 100,000-unit sales goal, AN reports.
"We're very optimistic about the luxury market, we believe that the luxury market by 2016 here will become the largest luxury market in the world, surpassing even the size of luxury in Europe," GM China President Matthew Tsien told AN. "With [Cadillac president] Johan [de Nysschen], we have somebody that really is an executive that understands luxury, but he also is very, very keen on understanding what do we need here in China for Cadillac to be successful."

Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
