We Don't Just Restore Classic Cadillacs

While we're proud of our earned reputation as the "Cadillac Specialists," we don't just limit ourselves to restoring the "Standard of the World." In our shop now is a 1956 Buick Roadmaster that, when completed, will be a top-flight restoration.

Below is a recent build of ours. The 1932 Ford hot rod build by the CPR team is an outstanding example that has won a few first place trophies on the local circuit this past summer. The owner couldn't be happier and that is what we take most pride in.

A few years ago, Hudson Valley magazine dubbed Elsa as the "Cadillac Queen" in a fantastic article about our classic Cadillac restoration company. We're proud that their moniker has stuck and, to this day, CPR is considered the world's finest restorer of classic Cadillacs.

1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz - restored by CPR

Arguably, the most recognized classic car of the 1950s is the 1959 Cadillac and the most desirable model of that year's General Motors flagship luxury brand is the Eldorado Biarritz. With only 1,320 examples of this iconic vehicle made, the values of these cars remains quite high.

Take a look at just one example of the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz restored by our team at Cadillac Parts & Restoration. This car is stunning and one of the very best of its kind. We take great pride in our expert Cadillac restoration work and have every confidence when we call ourselves the "Cadillac Specialists".

1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Undergoing Restoration - Damaged by Superstorm "Sandy"

In our restoration facility is a rare 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz that was damaged by Superstorm "Sandy" back in October, 2012. With only 1,320 of these cars made, and many fewer remaining, this is a crucial restoration project for our team.

We had previously restored this car many years ago and are proud that the owner chose us to bring it back to life. Read more about this Cadillac restoration project.

Cadillac Wheel Restoration is a Specialty of Ours

In addition to full and partial restorations of classic Cadillacs, we also specialize in the repair and restoration of components, including wheels. When the "Bible of the Collector Car Industry", Hemmings Motor News needed an expert source for an article on the rare Cadillac Sabre wheels, they turned to our team.

As the years go by, these wheels are getting harder and harder to find. Rather than buying wheels, let us restore yours. For classic Cadillac wheel restoration, give us a call at 845-462-5959 or visit our website at www.CPRforyourCAR.com.

DrivesTV featured our 1955 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

Our Cadillac restoration work was featured by DrivesTV when they created a nice video of our 1955 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. This car won best in its class at this event and was also driven by Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones over the Brooklyn Bridge to open their Bridges to Babylon tour. We cannot tell you how exciting it was to see our car televised live internationally on MTV with Mick chauffeuring his band mates across a closed-down Brooklyn Bridge.

Very Nice Article About Our Cadillac Restoration Business

CPR is the Proud Restoration Shop of Another First Place Winner at the Prestigious Cadillac & LaSalle Club Grand National Meet

Our restoration of this iconic 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille won First Place (Primary) in its class this past weekend at the 2013 Cadillac & LaSalle Club Grand National meet in Boston.

The owner of this car inherited it from his father and, in his honor, set about the restoration process. After an extensive search for the right facility, he settled on the team from CPR, formerly FEN Enterprises. Due to the care his dad put in maintaining the vehicle, a frame-off restoration wasn't necessary. However, extensive work was performed on the engine, engine bay, brakes/suspension, interior, paint, trim and more.

The results speak for themselves. Aside from winning this prestigious award, this car has also won its AACA Junior and Senior awards in 2011 and 2012 in Hershey and numerous Concours events along the east coast.

We have a 29 year history of producing award-winning show cars and our new restoration facility continues the tradition. For more about this car, visit our Cadillac Show Winners page on our website.

Hemmings Motor News Feature Article About Our Team

Even though we're now operating as Cadillac Parts & Restoration (CPR), we have a long and proud history as the company formerly known as FEN Enterprises. Among our well-earned press coverage was this article about our Cadillac restoration services by none other than Hemmings Motor News, known the world over as the "bible" of the collector car industry.

For more press coverage, visit our CPR "Press" page on our website.

USA Today Feature Article of our Team

USA Today featured our former company in a nationally-published article about our former business FEN Enterprises. The article really captured the essence of what we do and we're honored to be worthy of such media attention.

Our Cadillac Restoration Services

We're called the "Cadillac Specialists" for a reason. Our product knowledge and expertise matters, particularly with a brand like Cadillac.

Our team has the experience, expertise and care required to restore the cars that are the "Standard of the World." Visit our Cadillac restoration services page for more details about the many ways we can help get your vehicle in tip top shape.

GM Axes Plan For Ultra-High-End $100,000-Plus Cadillac Halo Sedan

As you read the title to this story, you’re probably ready to explode with frustrating rage on the assumption that General Motors dumped plans for the supposed Omega-based Cadillac LTS — the upcoming flagship that promises to rival the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class, among others. That’s not the case. What’s actually being cancelled, is a low-volume halo vehicle that was planned to slot above the LTS.

Elvis' Cadillac to be Auctioned Off in July

Elvis Presley's 1972 Cadillac Custom Estate Wagon is going up on the auction block in July.

From the article: "Mecum, which specializes in the sale of collector cars, says one of the auction's highlights will be Elvis' 1972 Cadillac Custom Estate Wagon. "The King of Rock n' Roll" owned the car from 1972 until his death in 1977, according to Mecum's Web site.
The car was kept in the Las Vegas home of Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis' manager, and then at the Las Vegas Hilton. It was later sent to Graceland, Elvis' longtime Memphis home, before the car was auctioned off with other Elvis possessions in 1999, according to Mecum."
