For sale is a 1956 Cadillac Sedan DeVille project car. The car has been started to be a shaved rat rod by the looks of it. The doors and some of the side panel holes have been welded closed and smoothed. The car looks to have been blocked very nicely to be ready for paint, except the hood. There is a pile of stainless and chrome inside the trunk and interior of the car. Does not have an engine, transmission, glass nor the seats or door panels. Apparently was going to be a complete custom. Doors are in good condition (see photos) and the floorboards and trunk floor are excellent with no rot at all. The one exception is the trunk wheel well which is rusted through where the rubber plugs go. Other than that it is a perfect donor for a restoration. Front bumper is all there and the back only has the center. Email with any questions. Car is located in southwest Michigan but was originally from Tennessee.
Also, there is a radiator and drive shaft in the car, both good.
The car steers and stops with the parking brake just fine.

Cadillac still planning for big things in China
Sat, 20 Apr 2013Despite some hiccups, China remains the auto industry's great hope for new vehicle sales, with significant sales gains and a huge upside. Nowhere is that hope more fervent than at General Motors, which offers eight different marques in the Asian nation. China has been GM's single biggest market the last three years running, and is unlikely to give up that title anytime soon. Yet its premiere brand, Cadillac, has remained essentially stagnant, selling just 30,000 units in China last year. That's in a segment where sales of luxury vehicles has outpaced that of the larger Chinese market. So what gives?
According to Cadillac officials Autoblog spoke with in China this week at the Shanghai Motor Show, it's been a problem of product - they haven't had the right ones. Displacement taxation issues, import tariffs and currency fluctuations have all conspired to make the brand's products less appealing than they might otherwise have been. But GM is stepping on the gas with Cadillac, and executives are eyeballing 100,000 sales by 2016 - more than triple the Wreath and Crest's current volume. And the expectations for the brand only get more ambitious from there - they're shooting for 10 percent of the luxury market by 2020. Bob Socia, President of GM China, promises that there will be a new Caddy launched in the market each year from now through 2016 and most will be built in China. Characterizing the company's efforts to revive the brand's fortunes as a "relaunch" of sorts, Cadillac also figures to gain dealers as GM expands its sales outlet footprint westward.
New products like a made-in-China XTS sedan (with a market-specific 2.0-liter four-cylinder to avoid heavy displacement taxes) will help, and Socia hinted that the ATS sport sedan could be next in line for in-country production. The SRX crossover - currently the brand's best-selling model in China - will also likely get a long look for future local production when the next-generation model is introduced. In the meantime, Cadillac unveiled the Escalade ESV Hybrid (shown above) as its latest model addition to capitalize on the market's white-hot luxury SUV segment.
