1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille.  Excellent project car.  Previous owner had this car sitting in his backyard in the heart of downtown Phoenix for about 30 years.  Last registered in Arizona in 1974.  I was planning on making it a driver and doing the interior but don't have the time to focus on it.

This Caddy has a great body.  Very cool sun-burnt patina paint.  The floors and trunk are super solid.  There is some minor rust above the fender skirts, the very lower right qt in front of the rear bumper and signs of possible older repair on the lower front fenders.  Overall there is very very little rust repair to do on this Arizona car.  The chrome is very good original.  The bumpers are straight and rust free (including the bumper ends).  The trim is complete and in good condition.  I don't believe it is missing any trim or chrome.  The hood is sitting loose on the car, but the hood hinges are there.  The tires are brand new.

Power windows, power seat, AC, etc.  The interior is completely shot from the brutal Arizona sun.  The dash is disassembled but is complete.  The windshield and windshield gasket are new.  All other glass is good except a crack in the passenger side door glass.  The trunk is full of parts including; radiator, ac condensor, starter, generator, trim, buckets of hardware, etc.

The engine and trans are missing but I have a 390 and tranny available that were removed from a running 1962 DeVille for an extra price.  I work for a restoration shop and can have the car worked on before being picked up if desired by the new owner (make running and driving, brakes, interior, paint, etc).  We ship containers with cars and parts from our shop in Phoenix headed to Sweden every month so I can arrange shipping to Scandinavia easily.

It is rare to find a '59 Cadillac coupe in this condition any more.  This is a great car to restore, or if you have a rusted convertible they don't get much better for parts.  Please email with questions.  A deposit of $1000 is due within 48 hours of the close of auction.  The remaining balance is due within 10 days.  The car is advertised for sale so the auction may end early (I will not close the auction if the reserve is met).

GM cutting vehicle trim options to save money for electrification

Sun, Mar 1 2020

Information continues to filter out about GM's plans based on comments the automaker made during its Capital Markets Day event in February. GM President Mark Reuss said the company's push to save money by rationalizing the number of build combinations will continue in 2020, carrying on the work done in 2019. As GM Authority covers, last year, the carmaker cut 3,500 components across model lines, a 12% drop in the number of parts it needed to stock in its plants. Reuss used the next-generation Chevolet Equinox and GMC Terrain as examples for more cost efficiencies, saying build possibilities — which include international markets and their options — will be cut by more than 50%, and use more shared parts. "We will reduce total trim levels on Equinox and Terrain from eight to six," Reuss said, "reduce engine variants from 11 to 5, reduce build combinations from more than 200 to less than 100 per program, and see significant cost savings of an already paid-for architecture that took the mass out, helping us self-fund electrification programs." GM will plow a large amount of the money it saves into its ambitious EV program. In 2017, the automaker said it intends to have 20 electric vehicles on the market by the end of 2023, some of which could be shared between brands. An automotive analyst at Seeking Alpha and a piece in Automobile attempted to put specifics to what we should expect. As Automobile points out, the first two EVs in the 20-car program are already on sale, being the Ariv Meld and Ariv Merge eBikes available in Belgium and The Netherlands. We've seen the Cruise Origin autonomous rideshare taxi, although we don't know when it will hit the road. The next three, which we should see in the metal shortly, are two Cadillac EVs and the GMC Hummer EV pickup. The Cadillac pair are expected to be sized like the XT4 and XT5, and along with the Hummer, should hit the market starting in late 2021.

2014 Cadillac CTS debuts new design, twin-turbo power, Vsport model [w/video]

Tue, 26 Mar 2013


If ever there were a Cadillac to truly rival the world's best, this could be it.
With every new model, Cadillac indeed gets closer and closer to actually performing at the top of its class, rivaling those crafty Germans at their own sport/luxury sedan game. The best example yet of Cadillac's efforts to challenge the world came last year, when we met the 2013 ATS - a vehicle that we praised for its on-road dynamics and interior refinement, and later went on to be named North American Car of the Year.

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:
