1956 Cadillac Coupe de Ville for sale

I own this numbers matching 1956 Cadillac Coupe de Ville since 1991. I bought her as a straight, solid and rust free classic car. I’m first owner in Germany and have put many time, love, work and money into this beauty to bring her in even better condition. She will be “finished” this summer 2009. I put her up for sale now because I want to switch to a 1958 convertible.

I’ve created a 3 minute slideshow and put it on YouTube to draw some additional attention – hope you enjoy:

You can find photos at my flickr set and there are more than 400 detailed high resolution photos with descriptions and comments at the restoration set.

Cadillac Sabre wheels – will they fit on your model year?

Sabre wheels were standard on Eldorados from 1955 to 1958 and optional on other models. These are not wheel covers, but actual wheels/rims. In my understanding sabre wheel are the successor for the spoke wheel rims that were used on eldos before 1955. Today they are highly desired amoung Cadillac collectors. They allow to add dignity to your classic cadillac (1955 to 1958) without to losing authenticity even if it’s not an eldo.
But watch out to buy the correct sabre wheels for your modell year. Read on for further information that lists the differences amount the production years. Read the rest of this entry »

Cadillac Flower Car

A few months back I received an email from a guy named Earle who was going to a pro car show down in New Jersey. Since it was only a few hours away I figured I would just on a train and head on down but I guess I had the dates wrong as the show came and went without me being there.

I didn’t realize I missed the show until I got an email from Earle with pictures included. I was so bummed that I missed it,but thanks to Earle he made sure he took some pictures for us.

That is Earle standing next to his fine looking Cadillac. I really owe Earle for sending in all the pictures of his ride which can be seen on Earles page by clicking on the picture.

It is not often that we get such detailed pictures and a great story on how he became the owner. Thanks again Earle.

Now for the new Cadillac fans I have to say I am quite excited over the new Cadillac concept car he Converj. Although I am not a fan of the name the look and feel of the car is amazing. It has sleek lines and looks really fast although that is not what it is meant to be.  It is an electric car that is similiar to what Chevy has planned with the Chevy Volt except this one is in a much sleeker body style. I am hoping it moves from being a concept car to an actual production car. You can see more on Cadillac Converj.

As we are really in the need to break away from our oil dependancy in the USA this car could help us in a big way. Although the 40 mile range is not that big of a deal, think about the amount of times you just drive to the store and back. This could save a lot of gas that you purchase. Little step yes but a much needed one.

A side view of the new Cadillac. At first glance it looks like all three Cadillacs are new but telling by the led headlights that flash. The other Cadillacs don’t have that feature as far as I can tell.
