what your looking at is a 1950 cadillac that was sitting in a barn for 46 years. its pretty solid and have minimal rust. most only in the rockers which i have replacements but i didnt want to use them because the car is so clean and original. it has all stainless and all trim inside and out, including the gangster visor and the stainless window visors fender skirts and the trim for them as well. the interior is pretty clean and there is no carpets in it, everything on the inside is in pretty good shape. ive driven cars with way worse interiors, even the headliner is in good shape and the dash is clean as a whistle. the steering wheel bakelite is cracking up but its still useable. the car has only 56000 miles and i think im the third owner of it. its had a bunch of work to get it up to running and driving condition. its got a rebuilt carb, new water pump and fuel pump, tons of fresh gaskets and paint on the motor making it have a clean appearance as well. converted to 12 volt using a new one wire alternator and new coil and condensor as well as i have the 12v starter solenoid but so far i havdent installed it the 6 volt is working fine still and it fires right up easily as you can see in the video i posted on my youtube, the battery is new as well and only 575 amps and starts the car quite easily. the brakes have been gone through and it has a rebuilt master cylinder and new rear wheel cyliners as well as wheel bearings. it stops easily and works as it should. the transmission is an automatic 2 speed and runs fine and shifts fine. it needs a gas tank and exhaust so i have driven it around for fun but never very far because of my 1 gallon can and the fumes from the exhaust. it starts runs and stops. my plan was to slam it, not repair any of the rust and replace the hydraulic window regulators with electric ones, throw some mexican blankets on the seat and call it a day. there is a small bullet hole in the roof. looks like a 22. if i didnt tell you, you proabbaly wouldnt notice for a while. but i always thought it was kinda cool. all the glass is there but there is a crack in the rear passenger side glass. the rest has been down in the doors since i got it and i cant guarantee its condition but seems to be fine. ill give you the 6 volt stuff i removed as well. this is a cool car you just dont see many of sitting around at car shows and is a gem in its current condition and i wouldnt change a thing about it appearance personally. questions or you want to come see it call me. 407-405-3982. once you see it youll take it home.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
GM to build $1.3 billion Cadillac plant in China
Wed, 08 May 2013General Motors has gotten approval to build a $1.3 billion manufacturing facility for its Cadillac brand in China. China's National Development and Reform Commission signed off on plans for GM to build the plant in the country's Shanghai's Jinqiao zone; construction is expected to begin in June of this year. According to a Bloomberg report, the plant will have an annual production capacity of 150,000 units.
No surprise here, but Cadillac would like to sell a lot more cars in the plush Chinese luxury market. The brand moved only 30,010 cars in China last year, compared with 400k for Audi, and about 330k for BMW. With Cadillac already telling us that it would be moving production of its XTS sedan to China - a production decision that saves having to pay 25-percent import tariffs - approval of the factory is a critical win for the company.
In fact, according to earlier comments by GM China president Bob Socia, it's at least conceivable that Chinese-built Cadillacs could be shipped back to the US for sale. The brave new world of globalization, getting stranger by the minute.
South Dakota dealer filled to brim with classic cars
Wed, 12 Mar 2014Other than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Mount Rushmore, South Dakota isn't generally a hot topic, but that just means that cool stuff can hide in the open waiting to be discovered. Case in point: the classic car dealer Frankman Motor Company that operates three locations in Sioux Falls, SD.
Unearthed by the folks at Bring a Trailer, Frankman is a treasure trove of vintage, American iron. Their collection is full of the type of vehicles your irresponsible but cool uncle would show up with when you were a kid. Even better, these cars are priced at a level a working man can afford.
If you are lusting about a cruiser then Frankman has a 1956 Cadillac Deville Hard Top Sedan (pictured right) with 82,896 miles for $12,975. It's painted a color called Cascade Grey, but looks more like a pastel purple in pictures. While it needs some repairs to the accessories, the Caddy runs and drives, which is all you really need.
