I have for sale here a very solid and stylish 1955 Cadillac 62 4-door sedan. This roomy '55 Cadillac has a very nice interior and rides nice! The car runs and drives well. Nice tires and good brakes. The car starts right up and the engine sounds good. The WWW tires really set off the white body against the blue interior and top. This 6 passenger '55 Cadillac is very complete. The interior is very comfortable.
The bumpers are very solid, but do need rechroming. The Creamy white body is solid, as is the contrasting blue top. The paint is average. The underside has normal surface rust, but is solid. I did not pull up the carpet, but the floors seem very good when the heel is stamped on them. I think the top was recently painted. I never got a trunk key from the previous owner. The trunk floor seems OK from what I can tell by looking up from underneath. The gas tank was recently replaced by previous owner.
Much of the interior was redone in the original style by the prio owner and it looks great! The seats are nice. The headliner is nice. The dash is also in good shape and the guages are clear. The steering wheel is in pretty decent shape. The driver's door panel needs a little help.
Nice wide whitewall tires with plenty of tread left. Very nice original correct hubcaps. Good stainless and glass makes the exterior very presentable.
The following are things working: turn signals front and rear as well as their dash indicator arrows, brake lights, headlights, speedometer, fuel guage, wipers, gas fill in taillight, brakes, trans, engine runs good, heater and defroster blower, doors and hood open and shut well. The following don't work: power windows, radio, clock(they rarely do), trunk lock/key.
Overall, this is a very good '55 Cadillac cruiser to be enjoyed by 5-6 people driving around town.
Please feel free to ask any questions. Sold as-is. In-person inspection is encouraged.

Cadillac SRX production moving to TN, next-gen Equinox going to Mexico
Fri, 29 Aug 2014It's a good week for the town of Spring Hill, TN, as General Motors has announced that its factory in the city of 31,000 will receive a $185 million contract to produce engines. On top of that, the next-generation Cadillac SRX crossover will be built at the factory (NA models are presently built in Ramos, Arizpe Mexico), which was once famous for being the home of GM's now-defunct Saturn brand.
The factory is one of GM's six facilities around the globe that will screw together the company's new line of three- and four-cylinder Ecotec engines. Spring Hill currently builds the 2.0-liter, turbocharged Ecotec, as well as the naturally aspirated 2.4 and 2.5-liter variants.
Spring Hill's vehicle assembly lines were idled in 2009, but were reactivated in 2011. The SRX is just one of the products meant to benefit from last year's $350-million investment, and should have a positive impact, creating or retaining around 1,800 positions at the factory.
Cadillac developing stretched ATS-L just for China
Sat, 25 Jan 2014To luxury automakers, long-wheelbase sedans are to China that crossovers and SUVs are to the US, so it isn't all that surprising any more when the latest sedan gets an extra couple of inches between the wheels to improve rear-seat comfort. According to Car News China, the next sedan to get the stretch will be the Cadillac ATS, which will increase the wheelbase by 10 centimeters (about four inches) to become the ATS-L.
Designed to go up against rivals like the BMW 335Li and the added-length Mercedes C-Class, the ATS-L will reportedly be built locally in China with an engine list that will grow as well. Currently, only the 2.0-liter turbo engine is offered in the ATS in China, but the ATS-L will get the full spectrum of ATS engines including the base 2.5-liter and the peppier 3.6-liter V6. This isn't the first time Cadillac has offered a China-specific stretched sedan either as the SLS dates back to 2006.
