She's been around the block a few times. Looks great from a distance, flaws up close. (Like me! lol) Several chips and scratches. Was repainted about 20 years ago, taken to the bare metal. It's ready for paint again. Engine was rebuilt about 15 years ago. Could use brakes. Will go into more detail below."

Have owned this beauty for approximately 20 years.  Found her in a machine shed in a cemetery in LaSalle, IL.  The owner was a trucker named Numerio (wore a weird pony tail on the TOP of his head) and had many, many Caddy's in that building.  Sadly I didn't opt for the convertible!  Drove it right out of the shed.  I love this car.  My email is actually Cadillacbaby59.  I owned this with my exhole.  We also owned a dozen other cars at the same time.  When I opted to leave this man I took the 59 and 62 with me.  Sold the 62 but have kept the 59.  I've viewed it as a 'trophy' of sorts, for putting up with him.  Knowing he'd be jealous that it was mine and not his.  Well, I'm over it now and am realizing the car is going to waste sitting in the garage.  The car deserves a fresh owner.  One who will spruce her up and actually use her.  Did I mention her name?  Her name is FINESSE.  I find it fits the car perfectly. Will be using this money for a down payment on a new house.  I know you really could care less about all of this but it makes me feel better telling you.  This car made me feel special.  I was 'known' for this car.  You couldn't go ANYWHERE without admirers coming up and talking to you.  From the old timers to the youngsters.  Everyone seems to appreciate it's beauty.  Ok, I'm done, now on to the specifics.  


Most is self explanatory by looking at the photos.  Cracked dash. Some hazing on the bottom of the window glass. Cracked backseat passenger window. The proverbial broken horn ring.  The seats are in great condition.  Headliner is stained but not ripped.  Runs and drives.  Needs new brakes (right front caliper froze open). The right front fender and bumper are very slightly misaligned when the accelerator stuck in the below zero weather and it hit the garage (only 1-2 feet away). (The ex stupidly wanted to move it to the back garage in the dead of winter, ugh).   The 390 was rebuilt approximately 15 years ago and hasn't been driven over 500 miles since.  The odometer is broken.  The speedometer goes back and forth til you reach about 50 mph.  The gas gauge seems to run the opposite.  Just part of owning an old car and your fella wasn't a handy guy.  The scratches on the passenger side door is from my wheelchair scraping it while getting in. Comes with the original hubcaps.  The car comes "as is".

I think I will end it here.  If you have questions I will do my best to answer them.  All I know is when riding in this car I felt like the coolest chick on earth.  It's THAT awesome.

Cadillac's de Nysschen takes aim at Porsche 911, Cayenne

Mon, Nov 24 2014

Johan de Nysschen has big plans for Cadillac. He's moved the brand from Detroit to New York, revamped its model nomenclature, and planning a raft of new models for the near future – including a $250,000 luxury sedan to take on the likes of Rolls-Royce and Bentley. But the veteran executive of luxury automakers has some more performance-oriented machinery in mind, too. Speaking with Car and Driver at the Los Angeles Auto Show last week, de Nysschen suggested Cadillac could be ready to launch a flagship sports car sometime in the next decade. The halo model would take aim at the Porsche 911 and do for Cadillac what Audi did with the R8, Mercedes is doing with the AMG GT and Acura once did (and is aiming to do again) with the NSX. Just what form it would take remains a big unknown, but de Nysschen indicated that the brand would need to be built up further before the sports car would be launched, lest it emerge too detached from Cadillac's image. The last time Cadillac delved into that territory was with the Corvette-based XLR, of which it sold only 15,000 or so examples – far below initial targets. The 911 rival isn't the only performance model de Nysschen has in mind, however. He plans to further expand the V series into a more substantial sub-brand to include a crossover to take on the likes of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, BMW X5 M and all those many AMG-tuned Mercedes utilities. The idea of an entry-level model to slot in below the ATS was mooted as well. A range of diesel engines are slated to help Cadillac break into overseas markets in similar fashion to how Maserati has expanded its market reach with oil-burning versions of the Ghibli and Quattroporte. And we wouldn't be surprised to see Cadillac get in on a new flagship SUV being launched by Opel in Europe, either.

Cadillac mulling CTS Coupe successor after all

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

The 2014 Cadillac CTS made a big splash last week at the New York Auto Show, but now that we've seen the sedan, we can start to wonder about whether coupe and wagon versions are in the cards. According to Edmunds, Cadillac is at least considering bringing back the CTS Coupe for a second generation, which seems like an even better chance since the brand's global marketing director, Jim Vurpillat, was quoted as saying that the car was the top-selling luxury coupe in the industry.
Of course, this goes against reports we heard last year that Caddy's coupe and wagon would live on just not under the CTS name, but the interview with Vurpillat has us hopeful for a next-generation CTS Coupe. If it does come to fruition, we would expect the new two-door to have a largely unique exterior design like the current CTS Coupe, to echo that of intended rivals like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe and even the high-dollar BMW 6 Series.
