Now Available! New Parts for Classic Cadillacs

More than just another General Motors (GM) brand, over the last 50 years the Cadillac nameplate has become synonymous with the highest possible levels of style, luxury and quality in the automotive marketplace. While other top tier automakers like Rolls Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes (and others) have long shared domination of the European marketplace, here in the United States Cadillac stands alone at the top of the hill.

Cadillac’s consistent emphasis on high-style combined with cutting-edge technology enable it to earn its place as America’s premier luxury car brand. Although Cadillac’s heavy use of fins and chrome might have been a bit over the top at times, Cadillac customers seem to have embraced all of the brand’s large and luxurious vehicles up to the present day. However, it is the cars from the mid-’50s to the mid-’70s that are thought to be the most attractive and most stylish cars Cadillac ever made. Not surprisingly, that same group of classics also represents the cars that most Cadillac enthusiasts want to restore, and that’s great, because here at Original Parts Group Inc., we naturally encourage all restoration projects. However, you’ve got to have the right parts to complete any restoration project and the supply of some classic Cadillac parts has been scarce to non-existent for years now. General Motors is not going to help as it has no plans to make new parts for old cars now or in the future, and that situation is unlikely to change anytime soon.

The availability of new factory-style parts for classic Cadillacs now rests solely in the hands of the aftermarket. Original Parts Group, Inc. strives to address the needs of classic Cadillac enthusiasts with the best new reproductions of parts that have been unavailable since GM stopped supplying them many years ago. OPGI currently offers thousands of exact-reproduction, factory-style restoration parts and accessories to fit the most popular 1954 to 1976 Cadillac models, and new parts are being added to the catalog all the time.

The latest group of Cadillac components to be added to the OPGI catalog is a batch of new parts bearing the RESTOPARTS® name. RESTOPARTS is OPGI’s proprietary line of exact, authentic reproductions of the original GM products and are manufactured on brand new tooling to the highest standards of fit, finish and function. This means all RESTOPARTS parts are built and backed by the trusted OPGI name and guaranteed to be premium reproductions that deliver the quality and durability you’ve come to expect.

1961-62 & 1964 Cadillac Tail Fin Lens.

These Cadillac tail lamp lenses are injection-molded on brand new tooling developed from genuine NOS parts. Made of red acrylic for a totally authentic appearance, each lens also features the correct GUIDE, SAE and LH/RH markings on the lens face just like the original equipment from General Motors (GM). Built to exact GM contours and dimensions to assure a perfect fit, these lenses cover all Cadillac models for the years, 1961, 1962 and 1964. Part # CE15732-PR applies to a pair of rear lenses for the year 1961. Part #CE11221-PR is a pair of lenses for all 1962 models and part number CE11228-PR covers 1964. (#CE11221 shown)

1959-64 & 1971-78 Cadillac Step Plates

A set of shiny new door sill step plates are a great welcoming feature when entering your car and they are also a very easy upgrade you can do at home. Door sill step plates are not exactly exterior items as they are not visible when you sit inside your car with the doors closed. They are highly visible any time the door is open though and old worn out sills will definitely degrade your car’s appearance. These bright-dipped, anodized aluminum doors sills from RESTOPARTS come in three versions; years 1959 and 1960 have a square-tag (#CE00210) and Cadillac crest in the center. Years 1961 through 1964 (#CE00211) get sills with an oval Cadillac crest. And finally, Caddies from 1971 through to 1978 get sills with a “Fleetwood/Body by Fisher” tag riveted in place (#CE00217).

1963 Cadillac License Plate Lamp Assembly

Brand new, factory accurate license plate lamp assemblies for 1963 Cadillacs were not available anywhere until OPGI stepped up to the plate. Now, OPGI offers a complete assembly under part #CE15741. The lens cover (# CE11165) and lens gasket (# CE06889) are also available separately. Ditch that ugly plate lamp on your Caddy and replace it with a brand new assembly from OPGI that features an injection molded clear lens marked with the correct GUIDE markings and diffuser lines.

1963 Cadillac DeVille Hood V Emblem

The last new Cadillac product in this batch of RESTOPARTS is a shiny, new V Hood Emblem to fit the original 1963 Cadillac DeVille. Because they are mounted prominently front and center on the giant DeVille hood, a damaged or missing Hood V Emblem is just about impossible to ignore. Get your own flawless, bright chrome plated “V” under OPGI # CE08381.
