1937 Cadillac Fleetwood

Series 70 Transformable Sedan

You are looking at a very original, Unmolested Cadillac. This is a two owner vehicle that has spent its entire life in Southern California. The Original owner purchased the car and drove it locally around the Riverside area. The car was then used by the owners daughter to drive to and from college while attending USC in the early 1950's. After graduating the car was used sparingly and eventually parked at the family property in Riverside.The second owner (Paul) purchased the vehicle in 1976 and relocated it to his home in Pacific Palisades, Ca. with plans of a complete restoration. In late 1976 the car was taken to L.A. Metal stripping where all body work was done in preparation for new paint. The old photo showing the car with red primer is from 1977 when the car was brought home from the body shop. The engine was removed in March of 1978 and taken in for a complete tear down and rebuild. Some old original photos are included in the ad of the engine tear down and the completed rebuild before being placed back in the car. The engine was started and Paul drove the car approx. 4 miles before being parked in his garage where he was planning to continue the restoration. With two young children and a demanding Career Paul never got back to the car. It sat covered in his garage until May 2013, when it was relocated to my garage. My neighbor and I agreed to put it back together and get it in running condition so it could be sold and Paul and his wife could have some free space they haven't had in their garage for years.

The following is a list of work done to the car to get it to its present state.

-Fluids changed

-Gas tank removed professionally cleaned and dipped, some fuel lines replaced, other lines flushed and cleaned.

-Brand new exhaust (muffler and tail pipe)

-Brake fluid drained, Replaced and bled

-New battery, Battery cables and coil

-Rust removed from running boards and patched with new metal and are stronger than when new

-Wheels blasted and painted with new (1980's) tires mounted. Tires were in bags stored with the car and preserved.

-We lightly sanded the body and shot it with black primer.

2014 Cadillac CTS configurator open for business

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Cadillac has just set the new configurator for the redesigned, 2014 CTS live. While we've already tested out the new CTS, this is our first chance to play with all the interior and exterior color options and to get a fair idea of the price. The new CTS covers a broad swath from the $46,025 base model, with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, to the $59,995 VSport, complete with its brawny, 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6.
It doesn't take much to send the CTS's price up from there, though. Opt for the VSport Premium trim, and the price immediately jumps $10,000. Opting for one of the premium paint colors is all that's needed to nudge the CTS past $70,000. For reference, a 556-horsepower CTS-V (previous-generation, naturally) starts at $64,515.
Click over and have a look at the configurator for yourself.

GM recalling Cadillac ATS, XTS, Chevy Impala over faulty brake lamps

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

General Motors has issued a recall covering 1,627 sedans over faulty brake lamps. Both the 2013 Cadillac ATS and XTS are affected by this problem, as is the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
According to an official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, "the brake lamps may intermittently flash without the brakes being applied and the cruise control may disengage" on these vehicles. The report does not state that the brakes themselves are faulty, but rather that "if the brake lamps flash when the vehicle is not slowing, a following driver may not adjust vehicle speed when the vehicle is in fact braking."
This marks the first recall for the 2013 Cadillac ATS, as well as the recently introduced 2014 Chevy Impala. In late 2012, over 12,000 Cadillac XTS models were recalled due to a head restraint issue.

Cadillac CTS wins 2014 Motor Trend Car of the Year [w/video]

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

For the second time, the Cadillac CTS has been named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. After winning the COTY crown for 2008, the new-for-2014 CTS outdid the other two finalists for Car of the Year honors, the Mazda3 and its corporate cousin, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
What's notable about the Caddy's victory, though, is how it simply brushed off its competition. Both the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series failed to make the finalist's bracket, leaving the CTS to claim victory. "It had to beat [Mercedes and BMW] on style, on performance, on comfort, and on quality. It has," Motor Trend said in its COTY recap for the CTS.
The team at Motor Trend praised the CTS chassis, calling it "fantastic," and citing weight advantage the Caddy has over the competition. There was also praise heaped on the car's engines, with the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder getting nods of approval from the MT team. The team also raved about the VSport model and its twin-turbocharged V6, magnetic shocks and other performance accoutrements.
