For sale and for the first time ever on eBay is my sweet 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood Coupe Convertible. This beautiful shiny black car with d'Elegance grey leather interior with only 55, 365 original miles. This Cadillac is a Custom Car Craft (Eisenhardt and Hess) conversion. Original Nevada car with one owner for over 20 years who passed away and left it to his son in Dallas who had it shipped to Texas in 2012. Some service records back to 1992 and all recent work available. Upon arrival in Dallas, the son had a full mechanical inspection and service. The oil, brakes bled, radiator  flush, and AC  R-134 (ice cold) were serviced at that time and he had the air suspension converted to rear struts and the front end aligned. Since I have owned the Caddy, I have added new Vogue tires with less than 200 miles, fresh wax & detail, state safety inspection, and oil change.

This Fleetwood coupe is and ultra rare conversion by Car Craft and this is the Wikipedia entry on custom coach convertibles is below. I have owned many convertibles and this top is by far the finest construction of them all especially when compared to the GM scissors tops of the 70's. Top shows only one blemish which is reflected in the pictures. Otherwise it is clean and tight running down the highway at 75 MPH.

Conversions of GM products

It  is estimated  a production total near 300 Coupe Devilles were converted.  However, the Fleetwood Coupe is a much more rare and more desirable collector car and perhaps less than 10 are in existence. The same basic design was used for model years ’86-91.  At that point, it seems that Car Craft vanished as part of the S+S Coach/Superior Company and they appeared to focus on limousines and hearses.  They are now part of the Accubuilt Company.   

Car Craft was associated with Hess & Eisenhardt and when the H&E name was sold off in ’85, the company continued to build their convertibles as Car Craft.

This condition of this car is excellent to mint and it's a stunner at the car shows and draws a lot of attention going down the road. It has always been maintained and stored indoors in dry weather climates its whole life. Besides the custom top, the car's frame was upgraded with custom cross members for support and it is the smoothest riding Cadillac I have ever drove. It's suspension is a little firmer than stock, but it still floats down the road like a dream. No squeaks, rattles or smells. There are some very minor imperfections in the paint like small scratches and chips, buy they are barely noticeable. You have to really look close to see them. I urge you to have the car inspected prior to purchase at your own expense and I will assist in making the car available.

Here is a list of the following features:

  • ·         Custom Continental Kit and Rolls Royce grill really distinguish the car from all others.
  • ·         AC converted to R-134 and ice cold. Heater and fans all working  fine as well.
  • ·         Cruise control - working.
  • ·         AM/FM Stereo Cassette with custom amps and crossovers in the trunk and i believe a subwoofer behind the back seat but not sure. Nice sounding 80's custom stereo.
  • ·         Power antenna -working.
  • ·         All windows and power door locks working. (One slow rear window).
  • ·         All electronics, power seats, and mechanicals working as they should and the passenger rear window a little slow.
  • ·         Clean Carfax and never wrecked.
  • ·         Custom boot cover for convertible top never put on the car.
  • ·         New custom floor mats.
  • ·         Original owners manual and gold keys. Extra sets too.
  • ·         The interior is original and pristine. No cracks, rips or scratches of any kind or very minor if you can find them.
  • ·         Digital dash and all gauges working as they should. Regular unleaded gas.
  • ·         Engine bay and trunk are almost like new.

 

I have a lot of money in this car and don't have to sell it, but I want a new Corvette so I am willing to part with the Caddy for the right price.  I will ship overseas and assist with shipping internationally.  Bank wire transfer with confirmed deposit is the only way I will do a transaction not local to Dallas, TX.

I feel I have described this Cadillac accurately and the next owner will be proud to be the owner and take it to shows or just drive for fun. I will answer any emails to the best of my ability and will take phone calls if you email me your number. Lastly, I've sold a few cars on eBay so I know how it works and will not tolerate scammers and they will be reported. My name is Sean and I look forward to speaking to you about the car. Call me up to 7 PM central time 214-532-two zero five zero. Clean Texas title in my name. Insured by Hagerty $500/yr.

2014 Cadillac CTS

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

Fixated By Europeans, GM Ensures The Third Time Is A Charm
Few things are better for consumers than competition raising the bar. And no campaign seems fiercer than the one currently underway in the midsize sport-sedan segment now that Cadillac has introduced its all-new 2014 CTS to go head-to-head against the benchmark Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
While the CTS has been on the market for slightly more than a decade, up until this third-generation, Cadillac hasn't truly had the proper high-performance rear-wheel-drive architecture to build a genuine world-class fighter, both inside and out. And now that the American automaker has successfully mirrored Audi, BMW and Mercedes in overall vehicle size, engine output and cabin appointments, the first shots have been fired.

Cadillac applies to trademark Symboliq, Optiq and Celestiq names

Mon, Jul 27 2020

GM Authority found a General Motors trademark filing with the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property for the phrase "Cadillac Symboliq" and the name "Symboliq." The documents submitted on July 22 were for the category of "Motorized land vehicles, namely automobiles.” It appears the Swiss action was GM following up on what it had done the day before in the U.S. On July 21, GM filed paperwork with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to secure three words and three phrases: Symboliq and Cadillac Symboliq, Optiq and Cadillac Optiq, and Celestiq and Cadillac Celestiq. Every name is listed for application to "Motor land vehicles, namely, automobiles." Cadillac recently explained its switch to model names that end in "iq," pronounced "ick," and the fact that the Celestiq name is among the recent trio leads us to believe the automaker has strong intent to use the other two on future products. We know the Celestiq — a large, hand-built, flagship sedan that will follow the Lyriq to market, predicted to retail for close to $200,000 whenever it goes on sale. We also know Cadillac has three more battery-electric products in the works after the XT5-sized Lyriq and "massive" Celestiq. As laid out in a 2019 GM Sustainability Report pitching 20 new electric vehicles across all brands by 2023, from Cadillac we're anticipating an XT4-sized crossover, an XT6-sized three-row crossover, and an electric take on the Escalade. Two of those three could get the Symboliq and Optiq names. The lineup, and more important, Cadillac's vision, will make more sense on August 6 when we finally get to see the Lyriq concept, with its single pane of 33-inch glass forming the instrument and infotainment display across the dash, tall taillights, and 22-inch wheels.   Related Video:

1959 Cadillac Eldorado and more featured in latest 'Forza Horizon 4' car pack

Thu, Feb 14 2019

It's that time again, time for another Forza Horizon 4 car pack. This one is a bit bittersweet, because while there are some great cars, it will also be the last one included with the Car Pass, which covered every downloadable car pack for a discounted price. So either we won't see many additional cars in the coming months, or we'll be paying extra for them. On a brighter note, the cars in this pack are cool, particularly the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible. Threading this aircraft carrier of a car through British streets should be highly entertaining. It's also stylish as all get-out. There are more appropriately sporty cars coming, too, including the 1994 Honda Prelude Si, 1994 Nissan Fairlady Z Version S Twin Turbo and the all-new TVR Griffith. Some reward cars being added come from the role-playing video game Final Fantasy XV. They're the Quartz Regalia Type F and Type D. The Type F is another big luxury convertible in the vein of the Cadillac, and the Type D is the monster truck version. The car pack is available now, and is free to owners of the $29.99 Car Pass. The individual car packs are available for $6.99 separately, and individual cars are even available for $2.99 a piece if you only want specific ones.
