  Hello, I have a 57 Cadillac Coupe de Ville that I'd like to sell. I purchased this car almost a year ago now but now do not have the time (or space) to restore this car correctly. This car is 99% complete and is missing only a few trim pieces that can be purchased. This car runs and drives well. I drive it about 2-3 times a week. I changed out the vacuum wiper motor to an electric unit (still have the vacuum motor and manifold if you'd like it) I also put new radial wide white walls on the car as well as pertronix in the distributor, a new coil, and a 600 CFM street demon carburetor (I still have the stock 4 jet carburetor but it really needs a professional rebuild) .

The motor is a stock Cadillac 365 to the best of my knowledge. The previous owner claimed it may have been rebuilt. The compression test I did on it was around 170 psi on all cylinders. It has the stock jetaway transmission with it (4 speed 1 to 1 4th gear). Power drums brakes on all four corners. It has an alternator in it now after the generator left me stranded. I still have the generator if you'd like that too.

The car has a lean on it. I'm looking to pay it off and give the car a new home where someone may have the facilities and time to fully restore it correctly. These Cadillacs in Coupe form are rare and I really hope it goes to a great home. I will work with the buyer on shipping the car but I will not coordinate the shipping for you. Check out the pics and I can take more if needed. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks!

2015 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra recalled for steering issues

Thu, Sep 13 2018

DETROIT — General Motors Co is recalling more than 1 million pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States due to issues with a temporary loss of power steering, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. The recall is for 2015 models. They are: the Chevy Silverado 1500, Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon and Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade. The problem may cause difficulty steering the vehicle, especially at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash, the auto safety regulator said in a document dated Sept. 12. The document did not highlight any reports of accidents and injuries, because of the power steering issue. GM dealers will update the power steering module software, free of charge for owners of the affected vehicles. In 2014, the No.1 U.S. automaker had recalled nearly 800,000 pickup trucks worldwide because of the same problem. GM did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Related Video:

GM winding down Chevrolet brand in Europe

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

If you've taken even a cursory look at GM's European strategy and wondered how it can target the market there with both Chevrolet and Opel/Vauxhall, you're not alone. In fact General Motors itself has found it difficult to justify the two-pronged approach. That's why it's essentially pulling Chevy from the European marketplace.
Instead of trying to ply European buyers with what are mostly former Daewoo products rebadged as Chevys, GM will now let Opel (or Vauxhall in the UK) represent its mass-market aspirations. Chevrolet will keep its presence in Russia and other former Soviet markets, and will continue selling certain niche products in Eastern and Western Europe. The Corvette, for example, has long been sold in Europe through Cadillac dealerships, which for its part is currently "finalizing plans for expanding in the European market".
While the shift in strategy is expected to help GM get a stronger foothold in the European market in the long run, in the short term the restructuring will cost it dearly: between $700 million and $1 billion, according to its own estimates, split between the last quarter of this year and the first half of the next.

Cadillac to move select offices from Detroit to Manhattan?

Fri, 22 Aug 2014

Under Johan de Nysschen, Infiniti moved its headquarters from Yokohama, Japan, to Hong Kong. Now at Cadillac, it appears the company's new president could be planning a relocation of at least some of the brand's operations from Detroit to Manhattan, according to a new report from Reuters.
In the case of Infiniti, de Nysschen pushed for the move because moving away from the brand's Nissan overlords would allow it a bit more freedom. It's evidently a similar case for Cadillac, with Reuters speculating that such a move would help distance the brand from the corporate culture in Detroit. A Big Apple move could also attract new talent that may have considered a job with the brand but were put off by the idea of living in Detroit.
It's important to note that if such a move takes place, it likely won't affect the folks actually responsible for developing the brand's vehicles. Instead, administrative functions, including marketing, could be the focus of the relocation.
