1957 Cadillac Convertible Series 62 Original Black Car Paint Code 10 Unreal Body with No Rot 

(The car in 2009 before it was dismantled for parts)

This car is a very solid and desirable car.  A good friend of mine had a mint condition 1957 Eldorado that was burnt in a fire. He wanted to restore his burnt Eldorado, and purchased this excellent Series 62 to pull some parts. The Series 62 was a running and driving car that was 100% complete in 2009, but is now stripped, and just a shell of what it used to be. I have been waiting to purchase this car, and since I have a Cadillac scrap yard, I was able to gather a lot of parts in anticipation of receiving it. Unfortunately, I have too many other projects and I can't go forward with this one. Instead, I am offering it on eBay with no reserve and can eventually help someone restore the car with the parts I had originally gathered. Pieces that I had gathered include some of the stainless trim pieces that are rare. Some are from the Eldorado that burned and may some windshield trim has a "smoke stain", but they can be flash plated and are fortunately not warped or bent. These parts are very rare, so plating the smoke stained parts are one of the few routes to take with this restoration. As stated earlier, the cleanest parts went to the Eldorado show car. I have a Cadillac scrap yard with parts ranging from 1950-1964. We have tried to add in as many parts as we have here. Please call for more details anytime 301 672 1000. If the car is not paid for within 72 hour of the end of the auction, it will be for sale at Carlisle and Hershey car shows.

One of the main challenges for the new owner of this 1957 Series 62, will be finding a rear speaker, rear view mirror,  the sun visor brackets (repo on EBAY), and the rear interior panels that hold the ash tray right and left) reproduction from Classic Fabrication out of New England.

  • Many extra parts and misc hardware go with the car....extra front grill, nice extra gas tank, extra seat track, the Vert is LOADED with parts that will help your restoration. These parts are not pictured
  • Some upgraded parts are included for the restoration, most parts will be shrink wrapped together ..... lefts and right etc. wrapped up

  • Passenger rear bumper end is soft in one spot will need obviously to be redone
  • .
Engine:
It ran in 2009 before it was dismantled for parts. We have not started the car. The carb was not with the car  so we set a correct carb core on the manifold.

Body: 
Super solid. We do not see ANY rust on the trunk, floors and rockers. One the best I have ever seen. The BODY IS UNREAL.

Interior:
The back seats are very rare. They came from the Eldorado that was burnt. The top and bottom are in good shape, and were not rusty before the fire. For the front seat, I have nice tracks and side covers for the bottom with the switch. I have 2 sets of backs, I have a marginal seat bottom and center arm rest.  The dash pad needs redone, and the cluster is set in and not the original cluster from this car but reads 38.XXX miles. It's not pitted, and the front door panels are original red pieces to the car. We do not have the rear interior panels, but they are available. Also you can make them  We have the right and left UPPER interior trim for the rear, as they are hard to find elsewhere.They are screwed in.

Doors:  
The doors are 1958 doors i put on the car, as I did not have nice 57 doors. I am including some rough doors from a 1957 that have the Convertible only vent windows and would be good to keep for a model for assembly.I may get some 1957 nice doors I primed the ones on the car and realized they were for 1958.

Transmission: 
It is original.

Windshield Trim:  
We have all the trim except the sun visors and brackets and rear view mirror assembly. Some was scorched by fire and will need to be flash plated as they are very rare and you will probably not be able to find others. I even have the small stainless in the center that acts as a cover. Most people loose this part.

Side trim:
It is nice but one of the long strips has screws on the driver side. I will include another one for spare.

Convertible parts:
The top frame is from the burnt car and was never rusty. It is amazing shape and set in the car , This series 62 has a 4 piece snap pinch well trim that is very nice. Rear quarter windows and regulators are included with tracks as pictured as well as some hardware.
Some rare convertible parts that will be included are pictured below:





      

No rust under hood lip.                 Thin molding is nice R & L          Beautiful inner rockers                  1958 doors primed in error, please call

Super Bowl LVII car commercial roundup: Watch them all here

Mon, Feb 13 2023

Fewer automakers than usual spent money advertising during Super Bowl LVII. In total, there were only five traditional ad spots from three big OEMs. A number of car-adjacent ads aired during the Big Game, too, and we’ll bring you those ads in this roundup alongside the more obvious ones. WeÂ’ve compiled all of the automotive-related commercials for you here in this post so you donÂ’t have to go searching for them elsewhere. Read on below to see what aired as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles. Ram's Super Bowl spot offers a cure for 'Premature Electrification' This commercial revealed the new electric Ram Rev pickup, and itÂ’s themed like a prescription ad for an antidote to "Premature Electrification.” A concerned narrator in the Ram spot asks if you're afraid that going electric too soon will mean "you might not be able to last as long as you like," and there's a guy on a pier who's going to need some new equipment if he wants to catch fish. We're also told there are "options being designed to extend range in satisfying ways," so if this truck isn't right for you, you have choices. All the commercial's missing is a silly medical marketing name and six seconds of speed-reading gibberish about side effects like intestinal bleeding and death. Which are two more good things. Jeep 4xe Super Bowl commercial highlights modern version of 'Electric Boogie' JeepÂ’s “Electric Boogie” commercial follows the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe in a variety of simulated off-road situations. Though fun, the soundtrack is the real star of the show. The songÂ’s original artist, Marcia Griffiths, was joined by Grammy winner Shaggy, Jamila Falak, Amber Lee, and Moyann on the track. The modernized re-recording celebrates 40 years since GriffithsÂ’ original track, and Jeep says the track is available for streaming now. Kia returns to the Super Bowl with the tale of 'Binky Dad' This year, Kia follows the adventure of "Binky Dad" in his quest to fetch his daughter's lost pacifier, which naturally takes him over just about every bit of terrain you might encounter upon leaving the civilized confines of Southern California for the not-so-civilized mountains of ... probably also California. It features the refreshed 2023 Kia Telluride, which probably doesnÂ’t need much advertising to see these days, but Kia went for it with the strong three-row SUV anyway.

Cadillac CT6 hits dealers in March for $54,490

Mon, Nov 2 2015

When the Cadillac CT6 hits dealerships in March of 2016, it will carry a starting price of $54,490 (including a $995 destination charge). That strikes us as a reasonable asking price. For some context, the CTS, which sits a rung down the size and pricing ladder at Cadillac, starts at $46,555. A BMW 5 Series sedan begins its pricing journey at a bit over $50,000 while the larger 7 Series commands a bare minimum of $82,000. So, while the Cadillac's range-topping CT6 isn't exactly a 5 Series or 7 Series competitor, its pricing strategy seems to reflect an interesting position in the luxury-car playing field. For that $55,000-ish asking price, the CT6 comes equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that pushes 272 horsepower to the rear wheels. When equipped with a 335-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 engine and all-wheel drive, the CT6 nudges up just slightly to $56,490. Again, that's a reasonable $2,000 surcharge for more power and four driven wheels. Continuing up the CT6 structure brings us to the 400-horsepower, twin-turbo, 3.0-liter V6 for $65,390 that also comes with all-wheel drive. All models come with an eight-speed automatic transmission. At the very top of the pricing scale sits the CT6 Platinum, which carries a MSRP of $84,460. As noted earlier, that puts the tip of Cadillac's CT6 spear just into the starting territory of BMW's biggest luxury sedan. A plug-in hybrid model is promised that will offer 335 horsepower and 432 pound-feet of torque with double the fuel efficiency of a comparable non-hybrid CT6, but Cadillac hasn't yet announced pricing for that model. We're eager to find out exactly where the CT6 lands on the scale of high-end luxury cars in America. One thing is for certain, though: Cadillac is clearly trying pique the interest of German cross-shoppers with its top-level offering. Check out the press release below for more details from the automaker about its so-called Cadillac Touring 6 Sedan.

Through the integration of new technologies, the first-ever Cadillac CT6 creates a new formula for the range-topping sedan and substantially expands the Cadillac portfolio.
