Up for auction is a truly remarkable a piece of American classic in automotive history for any beginning classical car enthusiast. THE LAST OF THE DOUBLE FIN CARS! A 1961 Cadillac DeVille 4 door sedan body by Fisher. This vehicle was originally purchased in Pennsylvania and garage kept as the previous owner refused to drive it in the rain or snow. I had the vehicle shipped down to Florida where for the most part has been garaged at my mechanics shop. I drove it for a few months until I started work on it. The odometer reads 65,440 which in both my opinion and my mechanics opinion based on its current condition seems to be right. This isn’t your average 1961 Cadillac rust bucket as I’ve seen for sale in other places. This car is 96% RUST FREE VEHICLE! Just needs your tender love and care! This is not a barn find! It hasn’t been sitting outside in someone’s yard for years. Hands down the most solid 61 I’ve seen for the price! Exterior: For a 51 year old car the body is in excellent condition. The body has no rust or rust holes or structurally weak panels. This vehicle doesn’t have a single dent, dings or scratches. The silver paint and clear coat still shines bright. This vehicle may have been previously painted and I had someone professional look at it and they couldn’t tell (It was done right!!) As far as our underbody I had it up on a lift and all was good no rust, everything was there and in place. Wheel wells are solid with no rust and no holes. Windows are all intact with no cracks, or chips. This vehicle has a lot of chrome and from a distance it looks great, up close you can still see yourself but has very minor bubbling (the size of a match head or smaller). The vehicle has all body trim and pieces. Finding these parts is expensive and this vehicle isn’t missing a piece! The emblems are all there and solidly mounted on the body. The windshield will need a new silicone seal around the windshield as it has a very minor dripping leak. (Noticed it when I washed the car) All headlights, tail lights, and fog lights work. Interior: Again for a 51 year old car it’s not bad at all just needs a small makeover. The car is rodent free!! The seats were at some point reupholstered with black cloth. I had put seat covers on when I drove it. Seat springs are still good. The vinyl dash has very minor cracks nothing to be an eye sore and still intact. Chrome on dash is still good and shines. Interior lights and dash lights don’t work could just be bulbs or maybe wires. Headliner is solid with no holes no sagging. The car is going to need carpeting in both the inside and the trunk area. It has carpet now but the carpet is not in the best of condition. The only place this car has rust is in the trunk. (Its surface rust only) No holes or weak spots in the metal. Most of the weather stripping is good, yet some pieces need to be replaced, like the trunk area. The door panels need to be reupholstered as some of the stitching has come undone. This car has all knobs and buttons except for cruise control switch is missing. I noticed minor rust in the door area behind interior door panel nothing major. Back seat is good and features an arm rest. The back rear window area behind the seat has warped and can easily be replaced. (As shown in pictures) All interior trim and molding pieces are mounted in place (Nothing is missing). This car features the original factory stereo but has no speakers. All floor panels are solid with no holes or weak spots. Mechanical: The 1961 Cadillac was truly ahead of its time and featured power seats, power window, power door locks, electric trunk release, cruise control, automatic lights, and automatic windshield wipers. The engine is an original 390 V8. The engine is the main issue as (It has a blown piston) but still turns over to start. The 4 speed transmission shifts fine when I drove it (No leaks). The drive train is solid as well powering its RWD. All belts and pulleys are good and solid. Some window switches short out from time to time (Not all). New Parts Invested: New spark plugs & wires (valued at 150.00) New windshield wipers (valued at $ 20.00) New alternator (valued at 225.00) New filters & oil filters (valued at $ 110.00) New battery (valued at $100.00) Brand new (still in the box) Polished Holly 4 barrel carburetor (valued at $325.00) New gas tank and lines (valued at $475.00 includes tank straps) NOTES: This car doesn’t come with a warranty! (IT IS SOLD AS IS) All sales are final. You will be responsible for shipping costs and arranging and scheduling a pickup. I have described everything about this vehicle to the best of my knowledge. CONTACT ME PRIOR WITH ANY QUESTIONS 202-425-9932 I had the vehicle professionally inspected and two different mechanics told me I had a fairly solid car other that the minor things needed to be done. (Again its 51 years old). I bought the car with plans to restore it but realized I didn’t have the time to deal with it, and don’t have a place to park it anymore. If you’re looking for a classic with minor restoration efforts and costs then this is definitely the vehicle for you. Don’t miss this opportunity.
Yes there are other Cadillac’s from $300.00 to $5500.00 but most of them are all rusted out. Replacing and fixing rusted fenders and panels is costly, both in material and in labor. Then you have to sand prime and paint….. Don’t put yourself through the aggravation. Buy a solid fixer upper (THIS CAR IS NOT MISSING A SINGLE PART) so you can be out on the road quick! This car is as solid as it gets for the price! Happy Bidding! |

General Motors posts record earnings, but global sales fall
Thu, Apr 21 2016General Motors started the year with record success. The automaker's $2.7 billion in adjusted earnings before interest and taxes was its highest ever in in the first quarter of 2016, up from $2.1 billion in from the same time period a year earlier. Net income grew to $1.95 billion, which was more than double the $953 million in the same period last year. The company's figures also beat analysts' predictions, according to the Detroit Free Press. Despite the financial growth, global sales actually decreased by 2.5 percent to 2.36 million vehicles. "We're growing where it counts, gaining retail share in the US, outpacing the industry in Europe and capitalizing on robust growth in SUV and luxury segments in China," CEO Mary Barra said in the company's financial announcement. GM did well in North America with an adjusted EBIT of $2.3 billion, up from $2.2 billion last year. Sales in the region also grew 1.2 percent to 800,000 vehicles. According to The Detroit Free Press, the company has been especially successful at selling more expensive models in the US. The company's average vehicle was $34,600 in Q1, about $3,000 more than the industry average. Elsewhere in the world, GM also showed improvement. Europe practically broke even after losing about $200 million last year, and Opel and Vauxhall sales grew 8.4 percent to more than 300,000 vehicles for the quarter. South America only lost $100 million, which was half as much as Q1 2015's $200 million loss. China remained flat at $500 million of income. Cadillac volume jumped 6.1 percent there, and Buick's deliveries increased 22 percent, thanks to the Envision crossover's success. GM Reports First-Quarter Net Income of $2.0 Billion 2016-04-21 EPS diluted of $1.24; First-quarter record EPS diluted-adjusted of $1.26 First-quarter record EBIT-adjusted of $2.7 billion GM Europe posts break-even performance DETROIT – General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) today announced first-quarter net income to common stockholders of $2.0 billion or $1.24 per diluted share, compared to $0.9 billion or $0.56 per diluted share a year ago. Earnings per share diluted-adjusted for special items was a first-quarter record at $1.26, up 47 percent compared to the first quarter of 2015. The company set first-quarter records for earnings and margin, with earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) adjusted of $2.7 billion and EBIT-adjusted margin of 7.1 percent.
Cadillac reveals stretched ATS-L in China
Tue, 29 Jul 2014In the market for a new Cadillac, but need more space than an ATS can afford? Then you'll want to look at the larger CTS. Unless you live in China, where buyers - often chauffeured instead of driving themselves - seem to prefer a long-wheelbase version of a smaller sedan than upgrading to a larger one. For those buyers, Cadillac has released the new ATS-L.
Based on the existing ATS sports sedan, the ATS-L offers an extra 3.3 inches of rear legroom over the model we get here. As a result, the ATS-L stretches its wheelbase to 112.5 inches and its overall length to 186 inches, while riding a quarter-inch lower than the standard-wheelbase model, which itself was recently updated. That places its length in between the regular ATS and the CTS available Stateside.
Otherwise it's essentially the same sedan, but appears to ditch the base 2.0-liter four to offer either the 2.0-liter turbo four or 3.6-liter V6. Of course this model, produced locally for the Chinese market, isn't likely to make the transpacific voyage to US showrooms, so American buyers will still have to choose between the standard ATS, the larger CTS or the even larger XTS.
GM CEO Akerson calls out Tesla, says Cadillac will compete on EVs
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Cadillac will be taking on Tesla Motors, the underdog EV manufacturer that's seen heaps of critical acclaim and stock market buzz with its most recent sedan, the Model S. "If you want to compete head-to-head with Tesla, and we ultimately will, you want to do it with a Cadillac," Dan Akerson, the chairman and CEO of General Motors, told media in Washington, according to The Detroit News.
Akerson continued, telling The News, "We'll sell more Volts and lose less money on the Volts than they'll lose on the Model S." He also took time to point out that Tesla getting vehicles out to customers isn't a guarantee of success or permanence, using Fisker as an example, saying "Does anybody even remember Fisker? I mean, there were a number of them; they are all gone."
This strong talk from Akerson comes after Doug Parks, another GM exec, let slip that the Detroit-based manufacturer has an EV in the works that will cover 200 miles per charge and only cost about $30,000, a massive upgrade over similarly priced EVs that struggle to top 100 miles per charge. Until that vehicle arrives, though, GM is preparing the Cadillac ELR, a small coupe that, like the Volt with which it shares technology, uses a gas engine as a mobile generator to recharge the batteries. Akerson took aim at Tesla again, saying, "But I do think when the ELR comes out late this year, early next - it's certainly the same postal code as Tesla, but now we're going to move up. It's not going to be a mass-produced car."
