This can be classified as a "Barn Find".  It was driven into the garage in 1982, and hasn't left.  There is some NOS chrome pieces for the side moldings, 2 spare intake manifolds, and one spare Carter AFB.  The Black top is in good condition, but the plastic zip-out rear window needs replacing.  The seats appear in good condition with the exception of seam separation in the drivers position.  There are rust through points in the driver side rear floor pan (about 5 inches), in front of each rear wheel (about half dollar size), the trunk floor (about 6 inches), gas tank, and both lower outside front bumper ends. 

It is equipped with: Power Top, Power Windows, Power Seat, Leather Interior, Cruise-O-Matic (automatic headlight dimmer), AM-FM stereo, His/hers ashtrays, power trunk release, power steering, and automatic with overdrive transmission.  An original shop manual comes with the car.

I purchased this car to serve as my bridal vehicle.  However, that relationship didn't last.  I didn't have the heart to use the car after that, but couldn't bring myself to sell it either. As the car turned 50 this year, I feel it deserves a custodian who will give it some love, and enjoy it's cloud-like ride.  Unlike most Caddys of the era, she is long and low with striking lines.    The body style isn't limited to pure restoration either as Apollo Ohno recently commissioned a nice resto-mod of a brown 63 Caddy convertible. 

All taxes, title, fees, and transport are the buyers responsibility. It is located in NE Pennsylvania near Scranton.  I will accept cash, certified or cashiers check or money order, and PayPal.  Credit card transactions incur a 3.5% fee.

Cadillac sales chief fired over policy violation

Sun, 21 Jul 2013

Amidst a good year for Cadillac, which is experiencing higher sales gains than any other US brand this year, the US sales chief has been fired over a policy violation, Automotive News reports.
The sales chief, Chase Hawkins, "has left effective immediately," GM spokesman David Caldwell told Automotive News. Caldwell went on to say that Hawkins' replacement would be chosen soon.
Hawkins became the US sales chief in June 2012, and before that was the regional sales director for Cadillac in the Northeast US, overseeing 168 dealerships.

Cadillac Elmiraj has production potential

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

There are many reasons to love the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept, but not the least of which is how production-ready this big coupe appears to be. Take out the overly fancy interior and a few conceptual elements of the exterior, and this looks like a coupe that could be in dealers now as the successor to the Eldorado.
On top of that, Automotive News is quoting Bob Ferguson, Cadillac senior vice president, as saying that a production version of this car is "very doable." AN adds that if the Monterey showstopper gets the green-light, this car would compete against the upcoming Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and would based on Cadillac's upcoming rear-wheel-drive flagship sedan due out in 2015. The range-topping coupe would debut sometime after the sedan model. Cross your fingers.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
