Custom Coupe Convertible - Mint Condition on 2040-cars
Plano, Texas, United States
|
For sale and for the first time ever on eBay is my sweet 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood Coupe Convertible. This beautiful shiny black car with d'Elegance grey leather interior with only 55, 365 original miles. This Cadillac is a Custom Car Craft (Eisenhardt and Hess) conversion. Original Nevada car with one owner for over 20 years who passed away and left it to his son in Dallas who had it shipped to Texas in 2012. Some service records back to 1992 and all recent work available. Upon arrival in Dallas, the son had a full mechanical inspection and service. The oil, brakes bled, radiator flush, and AC R-134 (ice cold) were serviced at that time and he had the air suspension converted to rear struts and the front end aligned. Since I have owned the Caddy, I have added new Vogue tires with less than 200 miles, fresh wax & detail, state safety inspection, and oil change. This Fleetwood coupe is and ultra rare conversion by Car Craft and this is the Wikipedia entry on custom coach convertibles is below. I have owned many convertibles and this top is by far the finest construction of them all especially when compared to the GM scissors tops of the 70's. Top shows only one blemish which is reflected in the pictures. Otherwise it is clean and tight running down the highway at 75 MPH. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coach_convertible Conversions of GM products It is estimated
a production total near 300 Coupe Devilles
were converted. However, the Fleetwood Coupe is a much more rare and more
desirable collector car and perhaps less than 10 are in existence. The same
basic design was used for model years ’86-91. At that point, it seems
that Car Craft vanished as part of the S+S Coach/Superior Company and they
appeared to focus on limousines and hearses. They are now part of the
Accubuilt Company. Cadillac Seville (1st Gen) Milan Coachbuilders (1976–1979), Coach

(1977–1978) This condition of this car is excellent to mint and it's a stunner at the car shows and draws a lot of attention going down the road. It has always been maintained and stored indoors in dry weather climates its whole life. Besides the custom top, the car's frame was upgraded with custom cross members for support and it is the smoothest riding Cadillac I have ever drove. It's suspension is a little firmer than stock, but it still floats down the road like a dream. No squeaks, rattles or smells. There are some very minor imperfections in the paint like small scratches and chips, buy they are barely noticeable. You have to really look close to see them. I urge you to have the car inspected prior to purchase at your own expense and I will assist in making the car available. Here is a list of the following features:
I have a lot of money in this car and don't have to sell it, but I want a new Corvette so I am willing to part with the Caddy for the right price. I will ship overseas and assist with shipping internationally. Bank wire transfer with confirmed deposit is the only way I will do a transaction not local to Dallas, TX. I feel I have described this Cadillac accurately and the next owner will be proud to be the owner and take it to shows or just drive for fun. I will answer any emails to the best of my ability and will take phone calls if you email me your number. Lastly, I've sold a few cars on eBay so I know how it works and will not tolerate scammers and they will be reported. My name is Sean and I look forward to speaking to you about the car.

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe prepares to fight BMW 4 Series
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Cadillac introduced its new ATS Coupe at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show today, bringing customers an alternative to the growing range of sport luxury coupes typified by the BMW 4 Series, Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe.
The ATS Coupe, as a slightly more premium offering, ditches the wheezy 2.5-liter engine found in the basic ATS Sedan, but retains the four-door's 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder and 3.6-liter V6. That four-pot turbo benefits from a fettling that has increased torque from 260 pound-feet to 295, although its peak is only available from 3,000 rpm to 4,600 rpm, unlike in the sedan, where peak twist arrives at just 1,700 rpm and sticks around until 5,500 rpm.
Power can be channeled to either the rear or all four wheels by the owner's choice of a Tremec six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. According to Cadillac, the new Coupe can get to 60 in 5.6 seconds when fitted with the 2.0-liter turbo.
GM design boss Welburn says Lincoln isn't a Cadillac rival [w/poll]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013General Motors Vice President of Global Design, Ed Welburn, had some dismissive words for a certain cross-town luxury brand during an interview with Car and Driver. When asked about his thoughts on Lincoln, Welburn deflected, before saying, "I don't consider Lincoln to be a competitor for Cadillac."
"They're not a global luxury brand. I don't consider them a competitor. Are they a competitor for Buick? Quite possibly. But not for Cadillac," GM's head designer explained. Welburn, who's been at the helm of GM Design North America since 2003 and is the first to hold the position of VP of Global Design, has been instrumental in the styling renaissance at GM, so predictably, Car and Driver's interview with him focused on the design aspect of cars.
During the interview, Welburn explicitly denied plans for a reborn Cadillac XLR, even as a new Chevrolet Corvette is hitting the market and strides are being made with Cadillac's V-Series performance arm saying, "We have a lot of cars that we're working on for the Cadillac brand. The XLR is not one of them right now."
2014 Cadillac ELR
Mon, 29 Sep 2014Well, this is awkward.
A few years ago, Audi Of America's boss Johan de Nysschen went on record describing the Chevrolet Volt as "a car for idiots." Fast-forward to earlier this summer, and the well-regarded executive suddenly found himself in a new office with new business cards bearing the title: President, Cadillac. That means that among other challenges, de Nysschen is now tasked with selling the ELR, a car that is, at its core, a Volt in a sportier, less utile frock wearing a price tag that's twice as expensive.
Frankly, it's not a prospect we imagine the South African executive and recent Infiniti boss relishes. Just about nobody is buying the ELR - Cadillac has sold but 774 examples of its plug-in hybrid coupe this year and it presently has an almost a 200-day supply according to Automotive News. What's more, those numbers actually represent big improvements over just a few months ago, before GM started heaping on the incentives. The cynic in us says that the bad news for De Nysschen is that he's got a borderline sales-proof car in his new corporate garage. The good news? Cadillac customers apparently aren't idiots.
