Classic Cadillac Restoration since 1984
Celebrating our 40th Anniversary
Thank you! As we celebrate 40 years of service to the classic Cadillac community, we can’t help
but look back with great fondness at all the wonderful people we’ve worked with over the years, customers, vendors, employees and social media followers.
From our most humble beginning selling Cadillac parts out of a spare room in a 1744 Hudson Valley farmhouse we bought and were renovating to our current Poughkeepsie, NY location chock-full-o-Cadillacs, even our most distant memories seem like they happened yesterday.
While our Founder and Cadillac Queen, Elsa, enjoys her semi-retirement, the daily operations are overseen by her son, Frank, who’s been around Cadillacs since before he could walk or talk and our next forty years will see only greater accomplishments.
This 40th Anniversary milestone is important to us. It wouldn’t have happened without consistently restoring and preserving some of the world’s finest classic Cadillacs and holding true to our values and work ethic. It also wouldn’t have happened without you. And for you, our friends, we’re thankful.

Cadillac Pre-Purchase Inspection – A Wise Investment
Just when we’ve think we’ve seen it all, another case comes in of a customer who bought a classic Cadillac that wasn’t close to how it was advertised. Originality, missing/broken
components, poorly driving & running and, to take the cake, misrepresentation of an Eldorado Biarritz that was not originally an Eldorado Biarritz.
Our Cadillac Pre-Purchase Inspection Services are a wise investment that can save not only a lot of money but also great frustration. Put our forty years of expertise to use and avoid making a costly mistake. We can either perform a comprehensive inspection at our Poughkeepsie, NY facility or travel across North America to offer you ease-of-mind about your prospective purchase. Call today and let’s get the ball rolling (845) 462 5959.

Best in Class, 2023 Detroit Concours d’Elegance
CPR-Restored 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz
Built in Detroit, restored in Poughkeepsie, and returned to the Motor City for a Best in Class
honor at the 2023 Hagerty Concours d’Elegance. While on display at the Lime Rock Historical Festival on Labor Day Weekend, the curator of the prestigious Detroit event extended a last-minute invitation for the Bahama Blue beauty to compete in their “57 Heaven” class.
Less than three weeks later, the just completed and highly collectible Biarritz was unloaded in Detroit, judged, and awarded with the Best in Class ribbon and trophy. It’s the second time we’ve received an invite for this Concours event, now in its 44th year, and we’re honored to have been asked to participate. *Update* following the Detroit event, she earned her First Place, Junior at the Fall Hershey AACA Grand National Meet.

We’re Speechless After Reading This Customer Testimonial
“I will start off by asking a question, how many of you have had your car at a resto shop only to
have it turn into a nightmare?
How many of you have been overbilled, underdelivered, or just plain disappointed by the work performed?
I was in the same boat for years and when I bought my 63 Caddy I was lost as to where to get work done on her.
I knew without a doubt she needed an engine rebuild but who the hell was I going to trust?

1950 Cadillac Restomod by CPR
This convertible 1950 Cadillac came to us having been previously restored. However, its owner wanted upgrades performed to add power, performance and comfort. To upgrade the power
plant, out Cadillac restoration team swapped out the original 331ci/160hp motor for a newly-rebuilt 390/325 engine and to provide better stopping power, a disc brake upgrade was performed. Our technicians also installed a smartphone controlled a/c & climate control system that allowed the beautiful dash to be kept original. A new and luxurious leather upholstery was crafted and installed.
The result: a post-war classic Cadillac that retains every bit of its elegance while gaining greater performance and modern day comforts. See this 1950 Cadillac restomod project.
