When Elsa Mauer Nicodemus formed FEN Enterprises in 1984, she didn't quite expect the business to develop into one of the world's leading classic Cadillac restoration facilities. She now owns Cadillac Parts & Restoration and her tradition of producing the world's finest examples of restored Cadillacs continues.

Cadillac Restoration in Poughkeepsie, NY
When the Associated Press assigns a journalist to write a nationally-syndicated article about a business, they don't do so lightly. There must be a compelling story involved and as with the case of Elsa Mauer Nicodemus and her classic Cadillac restoration business, there most certainly is.
In 1984, she started her business out of the laundry room of her 1740 farmhouse that was also undergoing restoration at the time. Selling old Cadillac parts quickly branched into the restoration side of the business and, as the saying goes, history, or, her-story, was made.
Thirty years later in her brand-new restoration facility located in Poughkeepsie, NY, she's still going strong and the beautifully-sculptured Cadillacs emerge from the garage of Cadillac Parts & Restoration (CPR) bright, shiny and better than new.
CPR is located in the historic and scenic Hudson Valley region of New York State just one-hour north of New York City. You can learn more by visiting their website at www.cprforyourcar.com or by calling them at (845) 462-5959.

Meet the "Cadillac Queen."
Running the leading Cadillac restoration shop for the past thirty years, Elsa Mauer Nicodemus has received quite of bit of publicity. In a feature article by Hudson Valley magazine, the author dubbed her the "Cadillac Queen." Since publication of that article, the title has stuck.
At car shows and other related events, she is often reminded of that piece. While the publicity is nice, Elsa takes a lot of pride in the respect that she's earned from building FEN Enterprises and now Cadillac Parts & Restoration (CPR). The international reputation of quality and integrity means much more than the title conferred to her.

In business since 1984, Elsa Mauer Nicodemus built the renowned FEN Enterprises. After decades of producing award-winning restorations, as well as hundreds of outstanding weekend drivers, her team now operates as CPR.

The "Cadillac Queen" - restoring the Standard of the World
Cadillac, the United States' premier luxury auto brand, came to be known as the Standard of the World. Innovation and grandiose design separated Cadillac from the rest.
Decades of Cadillacs have rolled out from dealer showrooms and into owners' driveways and limousine fleets. Over the years, fewer of these old cars from the early 1900s through the 60s and 70s remain. Today, the brand remains a popular classic that many seek to restore.
However, restoration of a classic Cadillac doesn't come cheap. In fact, due to limited production and scarcity of available parts, it can be quite expensive to restore one of these cars. Specific product knowledge is vital to a successful restoration and one such restorer is located in Poughkeepsie, NY. Elsa Mauer Nicodemus, owner of Cadillac Parts & Restoration, has not only been in the business since 1984 but remains at the very top of the male-dominated industry.
Her reputation has led to many press articles and one popular publication, Hudson Valley magazine, not only featured her company but also proclaimed her as the "Cadillac Queen." It's an enjoyable article. Read about the Cadillac restoration expert.
