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.

Cadillac ELR getting massive discounts, some up to $14,000

Mon, Jul 14 2014

Well, that didn't go as planned. General Motors had marketed the Cadillac ELR extended-range plug-in as a premium version of the Chevrolet Volt with some Caddy refinements. Now, it looks like that premium, at least from a price standpoint, is shrinking. Shoppers in a number of states are reporting that GM and its dealers are discounting the ELR in order to move more off dealer lots. The issue is that few people are biting at the official price tag of about $76,000, so GM has started offering as much as $8,000 worth of dealer and customer incentives, Transport Evolved reports. More recently, dealers in states such as Florida, Texas and Maryland are offering discounts in the $12,000-to-$14,000 range, and that's before any federal and state plug-in incentives kick in. It's not difficult to guess why. Through the first half of the year, GM sold fewer than 400 ELRs. Last month, Caddy moved just 97 units, or about as many as Tesla sells of its Model S in a day. Perpahs recent spy shots that reveal a test ELR that appears to up the sportiness quotient, with touches such as larger wheels and brakes, will also help sales. Check out Autoblog's "First Drive" impressions of the ELR here.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.

2015 Cadillac Escalade configurator lets you bling it your way

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

It's Friday, so there must be a new configurator to play with. While last week we showed you how to build your own McLaren 650S, today's ride is a bit more common. It's the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, a vehicle that you've been able to colorize since the end of last year, and which is sure to be an increasingly common sight on US roads in the coming months.
For those that have played with the build-your-Caddy tool, there's not much new here, aside from the vehicle being configured. The Escalade is available in three trims and two wheelbases, with prices spanning from the SWB, two-wheel-drive Standard, which starts at $72,690, on to the all-wheel-drive, long-wheelbase ESV Premium, which kicks off at $86,790. The options list, meanwhile, isn't hugely extensive. A rear-seat entertainment system and power-retractable side-steps (only available on the Premium trim) are the two notable options, while customers will have their choice of six exterior paints and two to three interior schemes, depending on the trim level.
Hop on over to Cadillac's consumer page and take a look.
