AS YOU CAN SEE THIS CADI NEEDS TO BE RESTORED. A COMPLETE RESTORATION WAS DONE ON IT SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I HAVE ALL OF THE PAPER WORK/RECEIPTS TO SHOW WHAT WAS DONE. ALL OF THE CHROME AND INTERIOR WERE SAFELY KEPT IN STORAGE AFTER BEING RESTORED. AFTER IT WAS PAINTED, WHILE STILL AT THE PAINT SHOP, IT FELL VICTIM TO THE FLOODING OF HURRICANE KATRINA. TWO DAYS LATER, AFTER THE WATER SUBSIDED, THE ENGINE WAS PICKLED. YES, THERE IS SOME WORK HERE TO HAVE IT RESTORED AGAIN BUT MUCH OF THE WORK IS ALREADY DONE. THE CADILLAC FLEETWOOD LIMO WAS PRODUCED IN VERY LIMITED QUANTITY IN 1939. THERE ARE VERY FEW OF THEM STILL REMAINING TO BE OWNED BY A COLLECTOR. THERE IS A LOT OF VALUE HERE IN PREVIOUSLY RESTORED PARTS, CHROME, INTERIOR, BODY WORK ETC... THE FLARE OF THIS CAR AND THE SUICIDE DOORS ARE A COLLECTOR'S DREAM. TO THE RIGHT PERSON, THIS CAR IS A STEAL FOR THE ASKING PRICE. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY, PLEASE. THE VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN GRETNA, LOUISIANA.

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe prepares to fight BMW 4 Series
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Cadillac introduced its new ATS Coupe at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show today, bringing customers an alternative to the growing range of sport luxury coupes typified by the BMW 4 Series, Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe.
The ATS Coupe, as a slightly more premium offering, ditches the wheezy 2.5-liter engine found in the basic ATS Sedan, but retains the four-door's 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder and 3.6-liter V6. That four-pot turbo benefits from a fettling that has increased torque from 260 pound-feet to 295, although its peak is only available from 3,000 rpm to 4,600 rpm, unlike in the sedan, where peak twist arrives at just 1,700 rpm and sticks around until 5,500 rpm.
Power can be channeled to either the rear or all four wheels by the owner's choice of a Tremec six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. According to Cadillac, the new Coupe can get to 60 in 5.6 seconds when fitted with the 2.0-liter turbo.
GM CEO Akerson calls out Tesla, says Cadillac will compete on EVs
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Cadillac will be taking on Tesla Motors, the underdog EV manufacturer that's seen heaps of critical acclaim and stock market buzz with its most recent sedan, the Model S. "If you want to compete head-to-head with Tesla, and we ultimately will, you want to do it with a Cadillac," Dan Akerson, the chairman and CEO of General Motors, told media in Washington, according to The Detroit News.
Akerson continued, telling The News, "We'll sell more Volts and lose less money on the Volts than they'll lose on the Model S." He also took time to point out that Tesla getting vehicles out to customers isn't a guarantee of success or permanence, using Fisker as an example, saying "Does anybody even remember Fisker? I mean, there were a number of them; they are all gone."
This strong talk from Akerson comes after Doug Parks, another GM exec, let slip that the Detroit-based manufacturer has an EV in the works that will cover 200 miles per charge and only cost about $30,000, a massive upgrade over similarly priced EVs that struggle to top 100 miles per charge. Until that vehicle arrives, though, GM is preparing the Cadillac ELR, a small coupe that, like the Volt with which it shares technology, uses a gas engine as a mobile generator to recharge the batteries. Akerson took aim at Tesla again, saying, "But I do think when the ELR comes out late this year, early next - it's certainly the same postal code as Tesla, but now we're going to move up. It's not going to be a mass-produced car."
2014 Cadillac ELR
Mon, 29 Sep 2014Well, this is awkward.
A few years ago, Audi Of America's boss Johan de Nysschen went on record describing the Chevrolet Volt as "a car for idiots." Fast-forward to earlier this summer, and the well-regarded executive suddenly found himself in a new office with new business cards bearing the title: President, Cadillac. That means that among other challenges, de Nysschen is now tasked with selling the ELR, a car that is, at its core, a Volt in a sportier, less utile frock wearing a price tag that's twice as expensive.
Frankly, it's not a prospect we imagine the South African executive and recent Infiniti boss relishes. Just about nobody is buying the ELR - Cadillac has sold but 774 examples of its plug-in hybrid coupe this year and it presently has an almost a 200-day supply according to Automotive News. What's more, those numbers actually represent big improvements over just a few months ago, before GM started heaping on the incentives. The cynic in us says that the bad news for De Nysschen is that he's got a borderline sales-proof car in his new corporate garage. The good news? Cadillac customers apparently aren't idiots.
