This 57 Cadillac is a true barn find that was left stored away in the Nevada dessert for the past 29 years. When the car was parked it was a runner according to the last owner who purchased it running from the previous owner but said it had issues with the dual carbs which he removed sadly enough and replaced them with a single carb manifold hoping to fix the problem. The dual carbs and the dual carb air cleaner are lost to history.

The mileage on the car reads 76452 ..When I first acquired the car I wanted to see if the engine would run. So, I put it on jack stands, unfroze the water pump from rust, installed a new fuel pump, by passed the gas tank, added a new battery , primed the carb....it started... The engine starts and runs like a sewing machine, the transmission goes in gear with it sitting on jacks and the tires turn. There are no brakes as the master cylinder needs to be rebuilt which is being done today...The doors function perfectly but there is one passenger front side glass needing to be replaced, the trim for that window is there. The power windows on three windows move slightly and the driver’s side power window motor is in a box. The interior is rotting from age and is all there except on the front doors where I removed it and put it in a box . The back seat and arm rests as well as the front parts seat are all there and obviously needs to be restored. The dash components are missing on the passenger side in the photos but are all in a box including the original radio. The trunk has one trunk bracket bent and is off the car also in the box. There are 4 original rims present but all the white wall tires are rotted from sitting. The centers of the rims are missing. The original jack is in the trunk. The trunk is perfect with no rust

The car has no major body damage or rust in the fenders or doors and has not been hit. The frame looks perfect and shows no signs of damage. The car shows no signs of rust which is normal for a car that has been in the dry dessert this many years. The only rust that is apparent is in the rear of the top where it looks like water got trapped under the vinyl and rusted thru. All the chrome is present on the car and nothing seems to be missing...

Cadillac ATS-V Coupe caught undisguised ahead of LA reveal

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Vsport versions of the CTS and XTS sedans are all well and good, but what Cadillac enthusiasts have really been looking forward to is the arrival of the next full-on V model. And here we have it.
Spied in the nude during an apparent photo shoot ahead of its anticipated debut at the fast-approaching Los Angeles Auto Show, the upcoming new Cadillac ATS-V Coupe is set to pick up where the old CTS-V left off, only in a more compact form. Unlike previous spy shots of heavily disguised prototypes, this final version is showing a chrome-framed mesh grille, along with a deep lower air dam with what looks to be a carbon-fiber front splitter. That bulging hood with heat extractor vents is tipped to be packing a twin-turbo V6 engine, breathing out of quad exhaust tips.
The aggressive aero kit also encompasses side skirts, a reshaped rear bumper and a lip spoiler on the truck, while the upgraded rolling stock wears serious low-profile rubber and the brakes appear to be carbon-ceramic units. Peer through the window and you can even see the sport bucket seats with slots for racing harnesses. All of which suggests a serious American challenger to the BMW M4 and its ilk, and we're looking forward to seeing the vehicle in the metal in LA next month.

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.

Cadillac ATS Coupe headed for Detroit reveal

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without its two-door models. But the XLR has been discontinued for over four years now, the Elmiraj concept may never see production and the future of the CTS Coupe is still up in the air. That leaves just the ELR, which may not be conventional enough for traditional Cadillac coupe buyers. Fortunately a new coupe is coming along to fill the void.
According to Edmunds, Cadillac will reveal the new ATS coupe just a couple of months from now at the Detroit Auto Show. Expected to mechanically mirror the existing ATS sedan, the new coupe will also more conventionally resemble its four-door counterpart than the CTS, whose coupe version was distinguished by a rakishly sloping roofline.
Expect the same choice of engines to carry over, with a 2.5-liter four serving as the base engine, and both a 2.0-liter turbo four and a 3.6-liter V6 offering more power for those looking for that extra bit of oomph. Following the Detroit reveal, sources anticipate the ATS coupe to go on sale next summer.
