CPR Restores 1961 Cadillac for General Motors' President

Since 1984, when F.E.N. Enterprises was formed, the talented professionals of Cadillac Parts & Restoration (CPR) have produced some of the world's finest restored classic Cadillacs. Throughout those decades, they've earned their reputation as the go-to restorer of vintage examples of America's
Danial Ammann's 1961 Cadillac convertible.

CPR's clientele runs the gamut from middle-class families restoring their grandfather's old "Caddy" to captains of industry seeking a top-flight show car.. No matter whose vehicle enters their Poughkeepsie, NY restoration facility, CPR's team provides the very best care and work.

A few years ago, Daniel Ammann, the current President of General Motors, brought his beloved 1961 Cadillac Series 62 convertible to Cadillac Parts & Restoration for a full, ground-up, restoration. Purchased in 1999 as a young finance whiz with his first bonus check in hand, the car became his primary 'driver' in the crowded streets of Manhattan and the back roads of the Hamptons.

Due to the vehicle's age and use, it was in very rough shape when CPR received it and became a very challenging restoration. However, CPR's Cadillac restoration experts were again successful in producing a world class restoration.

In fact, just months after the project completion, the convertible was entered for judging at the prestigious Cadillac & LaSalle Club Grand National Meet where it took home a First Place award in its class.

In their April 2016 edition of the Self-Starter magazine the Cadillac & LaSalle Club published an article (written by Hank Miller) that chronicled Amman's ownership, and the restoration of, his Cadillac. Read the story of  Daniel Ammann's 1961 Cadillac restoration.

Top-Down Headturner: Restored 1961 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

1961 saw the continued downsizing from the towering heights of the 1959 Cadillac model year. However, standard-setting luxury and design features were not lacking. The work performed on this 1961 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz restoration is nothing short of superb.

This completed project was only recently shipped halfway around the world and back to its owner who is enjoying the top-down cruising offered by this classic Cadillac.
