1957 Cadillac Series 60 Fleetwood on 2040-cars
Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States
|
I have come a long way with this 1957 Cadillac Fleetwood. Last few years though, she's just sitting. Needs seats redone, interior installed, minor bodywork yet and ready for paint. Was stripped bare, body sealed, doors jambed. Seems every thousand I put in, I have to wait 6 months to do more. Recently purchased $1300 in tires for it, and sold my soul for the original Fleetwood ribbed rear bumper with NOS 1957 rear bumper ends. YES, THEY ARE NOS BUMPER ENDS I HAVE THE BOXES. I have 3 dashes worth of chrome, engine has been rebuilt and detailed, transmission has been rebuilt, driveshaft rebuilt. Still needs emergency brake cables replaced (supplied) and the windshield was bad so I removed it planning to do the dash soon. I have an excellent original windshield to put back in, but it has a scratch near the top so you may not want it. I have all the interior parts finished factory materials, all done by SMS in Washington. Door panels are perfect, all seat materials and leather are included, carpets, kick panels, b pillars and headliner are all included. Gas tank has been sealed, everything is mostly done. I have simply run out of time and money, probably have over 22K into it already. Selling for best offer over 12. I will box up everything I have for it, lights included. Foglights are NOS. Grille has been restored Gold. I will make sure it rolls, runs fine for pick-up. But it really can't be driven without a windshield. Dash has not been started, so easy to take apart, install and paint new, reassemble with NEW CustomAutoSound Stereo and New SWEDEN made Dashpad. Everything is included. Title is clear. Buyer arranges pick-up and shipping. Please call with questions or to see it (651) 488-4890

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Wed, 12 Dec 20122012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
2013 North American Car of the Year:
Cadillac to vie for Secret Service armored car contract, new Beast?
Wed, 03 Jul 2013President Obama has used the same armored limo since his inauguration in 2008. Known by many as The Beast, the Presidential Limo was provided by Cadillac and earned its nickname in large part because of its massive size, which isn't surprising considering that its Caddy-shaped bodywork is said to sit atop a heavy-duty truck chassis.
It seems the Secret Service may be in the market for a Beast replacement, having issued a request for proposals for a new armored limo. According to Motor Trend, Obama's backup limo is a leftover from the Bush Administration, so it will be interesting to see if this new machine will serve as a replacement for The Beast or for its backup. The contract is to be awarded by September 29, 2013.
The boys from MT contacted Cadillac, Lincoln and Chrysler, and Chrysler is the only one that would confirm that it is not pursuing the contract. Cadillac may have the inside track, as it has provided Presidential limos since 1993, but Lincoln also has a long and storied history of chauffeuring the President.
Cadillac considering more engines, Vsport model for Escalade
Tue, 15 Jul 2014Want to roll in the latest Cadillac Escalade? You can get it with a 6.2-liter V8... or a 6.2-liter V8. Cadillac only offers the one engine option. But that may soon change.
According to the latest from Automotive News, Cadillac is contemplating a couple of new powertrain options for its blingin' big ute. The report suggests a twin-turbo V6 and a V6 turbodiesel could be offered, and that Cadillac could create a Vsport version of the Escalade like it offers on the new CTS sedan.
The more diverse engine offerings would help attract buyers from the new Lincoln Navigator, its prime competitor, which switched from a 5.4-liter V8 this year to a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6. The turbo V6 engines (both gasoline and diesel) would also help Cadillac market the Escalade overseas - particularly in Europe, where higher fuel prices preclude the prospect of driving a big V8 SUV for many buyers. Escalade sales have dropped from 35-40k units in the mid-2000s to around 12,000 the past couple of years.
