what your looking at is a 1950 cadillac that was sitting in a barn for 46 years. its pretty solid and have minimal rust. most only in the rockers which i have replacements but i didnt want to use them because the car is so clean and original. it has all stainless and all trim inside and out, including the gangster visor and the stainless window visors fender skirts and the trim for them as well. the interior is pretty clean and there is no carpets in it, everything on the inside is in pretty good shape. ive driven cars with way worse interiors, even the headliner is in good shape and the dash is clean as a whistle. the steering wheel bakelite is cracking up but its still useable. the car has only 56000 miles and i think im the third owner of it. its had a bunch of work to get it up to running and driving condition. its got a rebuilt carb, new water pump and fuel pump, tons of fresh gaskets and paint on the motor making it have a clean appearance as well. converted to 12 volt using a new one wire alternator and new coil and condensor as well as i have the 12v starter solenoid but so far i havdent installed it the 6 volt is working fine still and it fires right up easily as you can see in the video i posted on my youtube, the battery is new as well and only 575 amps and starts the car quite easily. the brakes have been gone through and it has a rebuilt master cylinder and new rear wheel cyliners as well as wheel bearings. it stops easily and works as it should. the transmission is an automatic 2 speed and runs fine and shifts fine. it needs a gas tank and exhaust so i have driven it around for fun but never very far because of my 1 gallon can and the fumes from the exhaust. it starts runs and stops. my plan was to slam it, not repair any of the rust and replace the hydraulic window regulators with electric ones, throw some mexican blankets on the seat and call it a day. there is a small bullet hole in the roof. looks like a 22. if i didnt tell you, you proabbaly wouldnt notice for a while. but i always thought it was kinda cool. all the glass is there but there is a crack in the rear passenger side glass. the rest has been down in the doors since i got it and i cant guarantee its condition but seems to be fine. ill give you the 6 volt stuff i removed as well. this is a cool car you just dont see many of sitting around at car shows and is a gem in its current condition and i wouldnt change a thing about it appearance personally. questions or you want to come see it call me. 407-405-3982. once you see it youll take it home.

Cadillac confirms 420-hp twin-turbo V6 for 2014 CTS [w/videos]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013The 2014 CTS will break cover next week at the New York Auto Show, but Cadillac has released a few details of what we can expect to find under the car's hood. As we saw in some spy shots back in January, the biggest news for the midsize Caddy will be a twin-turbocharged V6 producing a whopping 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
This LF3 engine will be paired to a new eight-speed automatic transmission, which will help balance performance and fuel economy. We still don't know how much the 2014 CTS has grown in terms of size and weight, but General Motors says that new sedan will return 17 miles per gallon in the city and 25 mpg highway with the new engine to go with a 0-60 mile per hour time of 4.6 seconds - that means the new CTS will have the fuel economy close to the current base model sedan and acceleration not too far from the current CTS-V. General Motors also confirmed that this twin-turbo V6 will be available in the 2014 XTS this fall.
The next-generation CTS will carry over the 3.6-liter V6 from the current car (likely as a base engine) and also add the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder from the ATS. Check out all the details on this new engine and watch a few videos (including GM's nifty tilt rig) by scrolling below.
Cadillac expects major growth in China
Thu, 25 Sep 2014The 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."
Cadillac reveals stretched ATS-L in China
Tue, 29 Jul 2014In the market for a new Cadillac, but need more space than an ATS can afford? Then you'll want to look at the larger CTS. Unless you live in China, where buyers - often chauffeured instead of driving themselves - seem to prefer a long-wheelbase version of a smaller sedan than upgrading to a larger one. For those buyers, Cadillac has released the new ATS-L.
Based on the existing ATS sports sedan, the ATS-L offers an extra 3.3 inches of rear legroom over the model we get here. As a result, the ATS-L stretches its wheelbase to 112.5 inches and its overall length to 186 inches, while riding a quarter-inch lower than the standard-wheelbase model, which itself was recently updated. That places its length in between the regular ATS and the CTS available Stateside.
Otherwise it's essentially the same sedan, but appears to ditch the base 2.0-liter four to offer either the 2.0-liter turbo four or 3.6-liter V6. Of course this model, produced locally for the Chinese market, isn't likely to make the transpacific voyage to US showrooms, so American buyers will still have to choose between the standard ATS, the larger CTS or the even larger XTS.
