Mileage:81171

Temecula, California, United States

Extremely nice 1963 Coupe that looks as if it has been restored, but it's all original. The paint presents itself as if it were factory new and is original. The interior has slight carpet fading on the transmission hump, but the rest of the interior is near perfect. We bought this car from the original owners for our collection, but making room for a '59 convertible that we acquired. The Caddy has always been a southern California car and has been garaged its entire life. The original owner was a LaSalle Club member and frequented the Pebble Beach car shows. We bought the car from his estate.
Exterior The sides of the car are laser straight with no history of rust or damage repair. There are no door dings or dents. The paint has a mirror like finish as expected. There are no dings or cracks in the windshield and the remainder of the glass is perfect. The chrome is perfect with no flaws or patina. All bright work is perfect. Equipped with 17" knock-off true wire wheels that are showing some aging (minor surface rust) in the internal spokes. I have not attempted to polish the wheels. The tires have less than 800 miles. All lights, blinkers, hood blinkers and markers work as they should. No fading of the lenses. There may be one small rock chip to the paint just above the grille. The grill is perfect. No waves in the body hood or deck lid. Interior No cracks in the leather or dash pad. The seat fabric has no checking or failure in the stitching. The badging, bezels, steering wheel, all dash components present as if new. I have never seen an unrestored car that does not have some bubbles or imperfections in the chrome, etc. All interior lighting works (all door courtesy lights work), power windows work as they should except the driver's rear has to be helped up if rolled all the way down. The clock was taken out and the points were cleaned and the unit was oiled correctly. Amazing to see the clock components with no hint of corrosion or age, so now the clock works perfectly. All gauges work as they should. Glove box light works. A high end CD stereo is mounted in the glove box and sounds amazing (has iPod terminal). The original radio works but is disconnected from the speakers (because of the stereo connection) and the power antenna does not work all of the time and needs assistance at times. The power seat functions up and down and reclines forward and backward, but the main movement forward and back does not works. The switch is fine, the motor operates, but the seat does not move. I have not investigated but suspect a gear problem. Seat belts in the front, but not in the rear. Mechanical The motor starts and runs perfectly with less than 82,000 original miles. No smoke and maybe a very minor drip from time to time. The motor has never had any work, for instance the valve cover gaskets are original. Power steering and brakes work perfectly. All suspension components have been maintained as they should. The transmission shifts flawlessly. This car drives down the highway just as well as our 2010 Suburban (although the brakes are not near as good, but there are no vibrations or shimmy at 70-75 mph). There are absolutely no rattles with this car. Looking under the car is amazing. The rear coil springs actually look new with no hint of surface rust under the car. The floorpans are perfect. There is no evidence of repair or modifications under the car and it looks consistent with the condition of the remainder of the car. Once again, the motor is quiet, starts easy, accelerates as it should, never runs hot and seems flawless. I have not detailed the engine bay; it is original and dusty. Summary We never expected to sell this car, but circumstances dictate. We have the original owner's manual. I always see folks claiming to have the nicest unrestored '63-'64 Caddy in the country, but I truly believe this one is a candidate. I have to say that if you are not satisfied with this car upon purchase, that I have no problem buying it back (just ship it back to me and I will fully refund your money). I do not want to sell to anyone that is not satisfied and does not enjoy it as we do. I welcome inspections at our home in Temecula, CA (60 miles north of San Diego). Robert at 951-506-3572. |

GM cancels CES date, possible Cadillac EV crossover unveiling
Tue, Dec 17 2019General Motors is bailing on CES 2020, the big annual consumer technology showcase in Las Vegas, after its plans to showcase an autonomous, electric vehicle were derailed by the 40-day UAW strike this fall. New evidence suggests that vehicle may have been Cadillac’s upcoming EV crossover. MotorTrend got GM to confirm that it was pulling out of CES, which takes place in January, though CEO Mary Barra in an interview said only that the vehicle they had planned to unveil was electric and featured autonomous technology — two key areas where the automaker plans to focus in the future. The automaker said the model simply wasnÂ’t ready. But MT said it then received an invitation from Cruise, GMÂ’s self-driving vehicle subsidiary, to an event later in January in San Francisco. That suggests the automaker could have been planning a different vehicle to show at CES than its self-driving Cruise AV “robotaxi,” which famously features no steering wheel or pedals. Cadillac showed off a digital rendering of a forthcoming unnamed electric crossover in Detroit in January, saying only that it would be available in both two- and all-wheel drive and sold globally. GM has said Cadillac will be its lead brand as GM delves into EV technology. The speculation is that the crossover will also feature CadillacÂ’s Super Cruise semi-autonomous highway driving technology. Whatever the vehicle was, or is, Barra said itÂ’ll be ready for viewing in the first half of 2020. GM has been developing the Chevrolet Bolt-based Cruise AV, a fully autonomous car, alongside its Cruise self-driving technology subsidiary, and building them at Orion Assembly plant near Detroit. It had once planned to debut a fleet of ride-hailing Cruise AV robot axis by the end of this year but realized the timeline was not realistic. Testing of the robot axis continues in San Francisco, Phoenix and Michigan. As for timing on a new timeline for fleets of Cruise AVs to take over the streets, Barra wouldnÂ’t show her hand. “We see a line of sight but weÂ’re not going to put another date out there,” she told MT, adding it was more important to “gain customer trust and usage.” As for Cadillac, any new reveal would likely come after the all-new Escalade SUV in February and amid a product blitz that will see it introduce a new or redesigned model roughly every six months through 2021.
No, Eminem is not giving away the Cadillac Ciel concept, Facebookers
Thu, Dec 4 2014Damn it, Facebook people, stop being so gullible. When you see something on social media that requires you to share or like a status or page in exchange for a chance at winning something, it's almost always a hoax. This goes for iPads, or Bill Gates giving away cash or, yes, an Eminem fan page giving away a Cadillac Ciel. Now, normally we'd simply ignore this utter hogwash, but it's getting some traction on Facebook and, annoyingly, is beginning to clog our newsfeed. Ignoring the fact that the Ciel is a pure concept car that likely can't even be registered for regular use, there are more than a few things that should give this nonsense away as a hoax. First, Eminem has only ever gotten in bed with one automaker – Chrysler. It seems unlikely that he'd defect simply to give away a car on Facebook. Secondly, the page that is putting on the giveaway isn't even a verified page – Eminem's real Facebook fan page has 97 million likes, this one has 622,000. Third, a quick look at the caption for the Ciel's photo, shown above, reveals the sort of grammatical mess that no serious contest would allow. Take a look (sic implied throughout): "Only 24 Days Until Christmas, Can you Imagine yourself driving this Car? I'm about to make that happen, Its Official, I Will be giving away this 2014 Cadillac Ciel to one random lucky fan, all you gotta do is follow these three easy steps, Step 1) Share this photo, Step 2) Like my page, Slim Shady Step 3) Like this photo, Winner Will be picked On December 5th 4 Days Away, Good luck to Everyone!!" We reached out to Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell just for fun. Apparently, this photo and schtick pops up every few months with virtually the same text, only to vanish at the end of the "giveaway." You're as shocked as we are, right? So, once again folks, just because it's on the Internet doesn't mean it's true. If your friends, family and acquaintances are blowing up your Facebook feed and social network channels with this nonsense, be sure to set 'em straight with a link to this story – we're sure the real Slim Shady will appreciate it.
