This is one of those great cars you hear stories about, lovingly cared for by its owner but lost to time after his passing. I encourage you to come see this car in person, I restore and repair classic cars for a living because I really love cars, so when I tell you this is one incredible find, take the time to see for yourself!
You should know:
I am listing the car for a customer who inherited a few cars from his father who was a collector. We went out to Kansas to prep them for transport as they had been stored in an old building for many years. When they arrived at my facility, we very carefully washed and cleaned them.
Also pulled the tires off to inspect the brakes, all parts are original, date coded components! The rotors were "lightly turned" to remove some surface corrosion and the calipers replaced, (original ones come with the car). The rears were very good, in fact the wheel flange on the axles still shines as if the car was assembled last week!
We pumped the old gas out of the tank and added fresh gas.
A new Delco battery was installed and she fired right up! She runs great, very smooth and quiet as you might expect from a car with 17,500 miles.
There is some damage as someone tried to steal some emblems. A few are missing.
We vacuumed and wiped the interior and polished all of the chrome.
Chrome on this car is unbelievable, it look new.
Check the date original date coded wires and painted heater hose, this car is a time capsule!!!!
While this is a great car its not perfect, I have not tried the air conditioning either. The paint is very nice but not sure if its original. If you want to see her, fly in and we can pick you up at Detroit Metro Airport and bring you back, its only about 1/2 hour ride.
I'm not sure what its really worth so we are starting the bidding low and hope for the best.
If you have questions, please call Dave's Hot Rod Garage 734-692-7151
Thank you.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
Next-gen Cadillac Escalade debuting October 7 in NYC
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Cadillac will unveil the next Escalade in October, at an event in New York City. It will be the sole member of GM's large SUV family to not get a debut at the Texas State Fair, which we don't think is all that surprising, considering the kind of clientele attracted by the big Caddy.
The new truck, from the few teaser images and spy shots we've seen, has evolved with the rest of the Cadillac range. We've got a glimpse of its tall, thin headlights, which look like an evolution of what's on the current truck. Expect some kind of egg-crate grille, reminiscent of the new CTS and ATS, while Cadillac's CUE system should feature heavily in what we hope is a thoroughly revised cabin.
The event takes place on October 7, so check back then for more info on the all-new Escalade.
Cadillac ATS to go racing in 2015 as CTS.V.R replacement
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Cadillac has been racking up victories with the CTS.V.R in Pirelli World Challenge racing for two model generations now, including recent GT class championships in 2012 and 2013. However, even winning racers eventually have to retire, and it looks like the CTS may be taking a bow at the end of the season. In its place, Caddy is reportedly working on a new racecar based on the ATS Coupe, and it might even get to compete internationally.
According to Racer, Pratt & Miller Engineering is leading the development and is already lapping the ATS racecar in Michigan for testing. It reportedly drops the CTS' V8 in favor of a twin-turbocharged V6 powering the rear wheels. Since this is the same team behind the hugely successful Corvette Racing program and the current CTS.V.R, the latest car appears to be in good hands.
The new model would also adhere to GT3 rules, according to Racer, and that might signal a big change for Cadillac's motorsports program. It means that the ATS could be sold to teams in the numerous series around the world that accept these vehicles. That would broaden the luxury coupe's exposure and put it up against GT3 racecars from premium brands, like Bentley, Porsche and McLaren. If it wins, the change could be a marketing bonanza for the brand.
