See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This would be described as a daily driver, definitely not a show car. 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.

Akerson says Cadillac will get a larger sedan within two years

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

It seems that during a recent affair showing off the 2014 Cadillac CTS, General Motors CEO Dan Akerson confirmed reports regarding a new Cadillac flagship sedan. According to USA Today, which Akerson was visiting, he said that a sedan larger than the XTS would debut within the next two years.
This matches up with what we heard earlier in the month about a Cadillac model that will go up against the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class (not a pricier, low-volume sedan also discussed in that article). But this is the first time a high-profile executive name has been attributed to such a report, and the first time a broad timeframe has been mentioned. This article adds that the unnamed car will be rear-, and all-wheel drive with a platform "loosely based" on the new CTS, with styling closer to that car than recent Cadillac concept vehicles. The XTS will continue production of course, as well.

2015 Cadillac Escalade configurator lets you bling it your way

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

It's Friday, so there must be a new configurator to play with. While last week we showed you how to build your own McLaren 650S, today's ride is a bit more common. It's the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, a vehicle that you've been able to colorize since the end of last year, and which is sure to be an increasingly common sight on US roads in the coming months.
For those that have played with the build-your-Caddy tool, there's not much new here, aside from the vehicle being configured. The Escalade is available in three trims and two wheelbases, with prices spanning from the SWB, two-wheel-drive Standard, which starts at $72,690, on to the all-wheel-drive, long-wheelbase ESV Premium, which kicks off at $86,790. The options list, meanwhile, isn't hugely extensive. A rear-seat entertainment system and power-retractable side-steps (only available on the Premium trim) are the two notable options, while customers will have their choice of six exterior paints and two to three interior schemes, depending on the trim level.

2021 Cadillac Escalade ESV spied uncovered

Mon, Feb 10 2020

The 2021 Cadillac Escalade made its big debut a little over a week ago, complete with its fancy interior and displays, but the company has only shown the short-wheelbase model. One of our spy photographers has picked up the slack and caught the long-wheelbase ESV model cruising around southeast Michigan without any camouflage. It's pretty much what you would expect: an Escalade but longer. But it does have a couple subtle differences. Those differences lie in the sides of the Escalade ESV where the length makes some changes. The wheelbase is indeed longer, not just the body, as evidenced by the rear wheels sitting farther back from the edges of the rear doors. Those doors are also a bit longer, so rear seat access should be a little better with this lengthened Escalade. Another change is in the stylized C-pillar. It's a bit more difficult to see since this is a Sport trim with black trim, but the C-pillar is substantially thicker, and the rear edge leans forward more than on the shorter version. This reworked trim probably helps hide the ESV's extra length somewhat. The extra thickness might hinder some rear and side visibility, too. The Escalade ESV will make its formal debut at the upcoming New York Auto Show, and we expect it will go on sale at the end of this year at about the same time as the short-wheelbase version. The extra length will probably also bring a little extra cost to the base price. Pricing for the 2021 Escalade has not yet been announced, though. It will probably be revealed closer to the luxury SUV's on-sale date. Related Video:
