I have for sale here a really decent and rare 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special.  This 50's land yacht starts right up and runs and drives good.  The brakes are pretty decent and the ride is very comfortable.  You and 5 of your buddies can cruise around town in real style.  The wide whites are old, but give a good ride.  The engine does sound very good and starts right up.  Pretty quiet exhaust.

The body is good and all of the stainless is there.  The stainless is in decent condition but does have the occasional screw.  The paint is average to below average and some crazy previous owner painted the rear bumper.  Bothe bumpers are solid.  The chrome is just OK.  The front and rear windshields are good.  The underside is pretty solid looking also with the usual and expected surface rust present.  Both rear floor pans have been patched amteurishly, but seem solid.  The trunk floor has rust through in a couple places along the edge.  Overall, the body and underside are very usable and driveable.  Some rust through on front lip of hood. 

The interior is really quite good!  Its all original and the fabric is in good shape and looks very stylish.  Nice dash and steering wheel.  Very good headliner.  All of the power windows work.  This '58 has power vent windows but they don't work.  Th dome lights, map light, and cigarette lighter work.  The horn, door locks, and turn signal indicators work.  Has remote mirror.  Heater and defroster blow and the wipers work.  The fuel ga, odometer, and trip meter also work.  These interior items are not working: speedo, clock, radio, and power seat.  The power seat makes noise but doesn't move.  As you can see in the photos, the interior is in really good condition and can be used right away.  All front and rear turn signals work and hedalights and turn signal dash arrows light up and flash.

These 1958 Fleetwood 60 Specials are very impressive indeed.  Pretty rare too!  This one can be enjoyed right away, or restore as you go.  This '58 Cad would be a great one to start with. 

Please feel free to ask any questions.  Sold in as-is condition.  Inspection available.

Why we can't have better headlights here in the U.S.

Tue, Mar 13 2018

It wouldn't be a European auto show if we weren't teased with at least one mainstream vehicle we can't have here. At the Geneva Motor Show last week, the small but vocal contingent of shooting-brake buffs lamented that the Mazda6 wagon won't be coming to our shores, although they can take comfort in the fact that the vehicle won't get the torquey 250-horsepower 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine we'll get here. Mercedes-Benz also announced a new headlight technology in Geneva that likely won't be available here anytime soon. It's just the latest in a long line of innovative and potentially lifesaving front-lighting solutions that the federal government doesn't allow in this country due to outdated standards — and a current lack of leadership at the U.S. Department of Transportation. Mercedes-Benz's new Digital Light system that debuted in Geneva uses a computer chip to activate more than a million micro-reflectors to better illuminate the road ahead. The Digital Light headlamps works with the vehicle's cameras, sensors and navigation mapping to adjust lighting for the given location and situation and to detect other road users. The Digital Light technology also serves as an extended head-up display of sorts by projecting symbols on the pavement ahead to alert drivers to, say, slippery conditions or pedestrians in the road. And it can even project lines on the road in a construction zone or through tight curves to show the driver the correct path. Digital Light will be available on Mercedes-Maybach vehicles later this year, although like any technology it's bound to trickle down to less expensive vehicles. That is, if we ever get it here in the U.S. Audi, a leader in automotive lighting, has repeatedly run into snags trying to bring state-of-the-art car headlights to the U.S. The German luxury automaker's recently introduced matrix laser headlight system, which performs many of the same trick as Mercedes-Benz's Digital Light, also isn't legal on U.S. roads. And five years after the introduction of its matrix-beam LED lighting, which illuminates more of the road without blinding oncoming motorists with brights by simultaneously operating high and low beams, Audi still can't bring that technology to the U.S. either.

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad

European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.

Cadillac ATS-V shares track time and new face with CTS-V sibling

Tue, 24 Jun 2014

It's been about eight months since we last heard anything on the eagerly anticipated Cadillac ATS-V, meaning it was high time a new batch of photos arrived of the twin-turbocharged, V6-powered sedan.
This latest round includes a shot of the hot ATS-V alongside the upcoming CTS-V, allowing us to glimpse through the camouflage and spot the family resemblance between the two über sedans. According to our spies, this is the first time we've gotten a look at the ATS-V's fascia without a nose bra to obscure larger details. This isn't the first time we've seen a vertically slated grille on an in-development Cadillac V car, although it is the first time we've seen it on the ATS-V. Aside from the main grille, the shapes of the sportier front fascia of the ATS-V tie in nicely with its big brother. We are rather curious about the hood on the ATS-V. It's difficult to tell from these images, but it looks like there may be some vents up there that may be meant to improve cooling to the alleged 425-horsepower engine.
Other details that we can see include swollen fenders and larger wheels that hide amplified brakes. The rear of the car remains heavily obscured by camo, with the sole details of note being the quad exhausts, which we've spotted on previous ATS-V prototypes.
