Rat Rod/hot/rod Custom 1960 Cadillac 2 Dr Coupe Deville on 2040-cars
Pasco, Washington, United States
I am selling my 1960 Cadillac coupe deville I built. It started off with 39000 original miles on car but had been sitting for yrs, the original 390 eng was froze up so out it came. I was looking for millage and power in one so decided to install a dodge cummins turbo diesel with a auto tranny. the eng has 214,000 miles on it, I built the injection pump with all the goodies and installed new 75 hp injectors, adjusted the valves, installed new valve cover gaskets. I had the tranny rebuilt with all new parts, new converter and new shift kit.I get an average of 30 mpg at 75 and if I stay at 68 I get 33 mpg. I had to modify most everything under the hood to get the cummins in place, I had to cut 3 inches from the oil pan, make solid motor mounts, and tranny mounts as the tollerances were very tight between the starter and power steering box but she fit. installed a new aluminum radiator and black magic fan, runs under 180 on the hottest days. installed new disk brakes, and now for the color. this thing is amazing, it was an experiment and turned out great. the body is not perfect, didn't want it perfect. she looks bad ass and always gets tons of looks. all the electric windows work and the 6 way electric seat works. none of the factory gauges work, I have all aftermarket gauges and they all work. it rides on 20 inch wheels and tires, drives like a dream and rides like a caddy. just needs interior finished I would consider part trades for ? but need mostly cash for my 34 dodge panel build. any questions call 509-520-9713 and I have all the paperwork for the build and a clean clear title for it.

GM's Reuss explains why Cadillac is heading to New York
Tue, 23 Sep 2014
"We're going to take it to a place [New York] to change the way that we do business around the brand of Cadillac." - Mark Reuss
General Motors product chief Mark Reuss elaborated Tuesday on Cadillac's move to New York in 2015, saying it will "elevate" the brand and allow it to reach new customers.
Cadillac ATS was almost front-wheel drive
Wed, 03 Apr 2013"We were going to do a front-wheel drive Cadillac compact off of Delta because it was going to be less expensive," Doug Parks, General Motors' vice president of global product programs, told the Automotive News during the Detroit Auto Show in January of this year. That sentence, referring to early ATS discussions more than five years ago - a period when the automaker, and the industry, was struggling - reveals that Cadillac's highly acclaimed rear-wheel drive compact sedan almost never happened.
Parks revealed that that automaker actually built a 2.0-liter test mule, on GM's Delta platform (shared with the Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Verano) and tested it in Europe. While the prototype was "pretty darn good," according to Parks, the team realized that in order to compete against Mercedes-Benz and BMW it would have to invest in a new rear-wheel drive platform.
The resulting all-new Alpha platform would eventually underpin the Cadillac ATS, and many would argue that its balanced rear-wheel drive chassis is its single most important attribute. Thankfully, the Alpha's goodness won't stop with the ATS. The upcoming 2014 Cadillac CTS and the future Camaro will also share its architecture, meaning the Cimarron will remain a distant memory.
GM recalls Chevy Impala, Cadillac XTS for braking problem
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Back in April, General Motors launched an investigation into braking issues affecting the 2014 Chevy Impala. Now there's a recall of both the Impala and the Cadillac XTS with which it shares its Epsilon II platform.
The issue apparently revolves around the electronic parking brake, which may not properly disengage. As a result, the rear brake pads could rub the rotor even while the vehicle is in motion, causing "significant heat, smoke and sparks." The earlier investigation had been launched following a complaint regarding the forward collision avoidance system, which is now either appears to have been unrelated or possibly a symptom of this larger issue.
The recall affects 2013-15 XTS models manufactured between February 14, 2012, and August 22, 2014, as well as 2014-15 Impalas manufactured between January 15, 2013, and August 22, 2014. The total number of affected vehicles reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration comes to precisely 132,921 units, while The Detroit News reports a higher total of 205,000 units - the difference potentially coming down to the scope within the US and more broadly across North America. Dealers will contact owners to update the software in order to fix the problem.
