This 57 Cadillac is a true barn find that was left stored away in the Nevada dessert for the past 29 years. When the car was parked it was a runner according to the last owner who purchased it running from the previous owner but said it had issues with the dual carbs which he removed sadly enough and replaced them with a single carb manifold hoping to fix the problem. The dual carbs and the dual carb air cleaner are lost to history.

The mileage on the car reads 76452 ..When I first acquired the car I wanted to see if the engine would run. So, I put it on jack stands, unfroze the water pump from rust, installed a new fuel pump, by passed the gas tank, added a new battery , primed the carb....it started... The engine starts and runs like a sewing machine, the transmission goes in gear with it sitting on jacks and the tires turn. There are no brakes as the master cylinder needs to be rebuilt which is being done today...The doors function perfectly but there is one passenger front side glass needing to be replaced, the trim for that window is there. The power windows on three windows move slightly and the driver’s side power window motor is in a box. The interior is rotting from age and is all there except on the front doors where I removed it and put it in a box . The back seat and arm rests as well as the front parts seat are all there and obviously needs to be restored. The dash components are missing on the passenger side in the photos but are all in a box including the original radio. The trunk has one trunk bracket bent and is off the car also in the box. There are 4 original rims present but all the white wall tires are rotted from sitting. The centers of the rims are missing. The original jack is in the trunk. The trunk is perfect with no rust

The car has no major body damage or rust in the fenders or doors and has not been hit. The frame looks perfect and shows no signs of damage. The car shows no signs of rust which is normal for a car that has been in the dry dessert this many years. The only rust that is apparent is in the rear of the top where it looks like water got trapped under the vinyl and rusted thru. All the chrome is present on the car and nothing seems to be missing...

Cadillac's Butler announces surprise departure

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Cadillac's vice president of global strategic development, Don Butler, has resigned. Butler has held the position since April, after a term as vice president of US marketing for General Motor's luxury brand.
As the report explains, the timing here is pretty unfortunate for Cadillac. Butler is the third high-profile member of Cadillac's brass to depart in recent months, following the firing of US sales boss Chase Hawkins and the pending departure of Susan Docherty. Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell told the Detroit paper, "Bob [Ferguson]," global boss for Cadillac, "and other leaders asked him to stay on. Don's here in the office today - and told our team that his decision is purely on a personal level. After three years of putting everything into Cadillac, he is stepping away for some personal time, and to consider new avenues in his life."
Butler says his decision is part of a decision to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities." Whatever the reason, it's an unpleasant surprise for Cadillac, which has been on a surge in 2013, with 30-percent jump in sales on the heels of the hot-selling ATS.

2015 Cadillac Escalade gets 8-speed auto, range-topping Platinum Collection trim

Mon, 11 Aug 2014

The redesigned 2015 Cadillac Escalade is still quite fresh on the market, but the luxury brand has a host of mid-model-year updates for its massive luxury SUV that should make it an even better driver. The range-topping Platinum Collection (pictured above) is also all set to ensconce drivers in leather when it hits the road in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The entire Escalade range now gets an eight-speed automatic to replace the previous six-speed, and four-wheel drive models also get a two-speed transfer case to go along with it. New standard features include a Surround View camera system, 4G LTE connectivity, and the electric tailgate also now closes hands-free, in addition to opening that way.
To make riding in the Escalade an even more luxurious experience, Cadillac is adding a Platinum trim. Exterior changes add even more shine to the behemoth SUV with a grille wearing the redesigned brand crest, additional chrome trim, 22-inch wheels and Platinum badges. However, the interior is where things really get plush. The first and second row of seats are wrapped in Nappa, semi-aniline leather in a choice of either beige or gray. The dashboard, upper door panels and center console also get hand-stitched and wrapped leather, plus a suede microfiber headliner. Both front seats are heated and cooled with 18-way power adjustments, and the driver even gets a massaging function. Rear passengers are hardly left out, either, with 7-inch LCD screens in the headrests and a 9-inch screen in the center.
