This vehicle is equipped with the original air ride suspension option. When the car is started, the air compressor needs several minutes to pressurize the suspension system, and lift the body to driving height. A chrome lever under the dash can be pulled to activate the "Air Lift" function which raises the back of the car several more inches. This is a rare find.
This vehicle does not have a functioning exhaust system. Some exhaust components are missing. Some exhaust components are not original.
All four doors open easily and close solidly. There is a two inch long crack in the lower driver's window. There is an 8 inch long crack in the lower front passenger's window.
The heater core has leaked and is removed from the vehicle. The sheetmetal components for the heater core and all hardware are in the trunk. (see photo)
A video showing the vehicle reversing, stopping, and then moving forward is available here: http://youtu.be/EpN0VBj2G9M
The vehicle has a new battery
The brakes function, but do not release smoothly.
Some of the photos show a missing hubcap on the rear left wheel. All four hubcaps are in good condition and will be sold with the car.
The automatic antennae does not function. It is stuck in the up position.
The paint appears to be original. It is cracked and crazed in many areas.
The chrome trim is in good condition, although there are many rust specks. There is a dent in the rear right side body trim. There is a dent on the right side of the rear bumper.
The vehicle is equipped with an Autronic Eye device on the dash. It is not known if this device functions.
There is a crack in the front right marker light lens. The rear right backup light lens has been replaced by an aftermarket part which is made from plastic.
The electric windows all function. The three way electric seat adjustment functions. The electric trunk closing device functions.
The headliner fabric is in good condition, but the stitching is coming loose in several areas.
The car was found in the original owner's carport in southern Oregon. The vehicle contained unused tags from 1974, so it probably had not been on the road since 1973. It has been garaged since 1988. This has always been an Oregon car, Oregon does not use road salt in the winter.

GM recalling 117,000 sedans, crossovers, SUVs, pickups and vans
Thu, 02 Oct 2014General Motors has issued a stop-sale to dealers and has notified the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration of its intention to recall 117,000 vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Of those vehicles, only 4,500 are at dealerships.
The affected vehicles include the Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Impala sedans, fullsize SUVs (Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe and Suburban and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL), Lambda-platform crossovers (Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia), heavy-duty pickups (Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD) and fullsize vans (Chevy Express and GMC Savana). The sedans and body-on-frame SUVs include model years 2013 and 2014, while the CUVs, heavy-duty pickups and vans are limited to MY2014.
GM confirmed the recall to Autoblog via an emailed statement (which we've included below). According to the statement, the issue at hand in what is the company's 69th recall of 2014 covers the chassis-control module. Automotive News is reporting that a problem in the chassis-control system could cause a short in the module, which could cause the engine to stall or fail to start. The fault could also affect the trailer-brake control, provided it's equipped.
Cadillac sales chief fired over policy violation
Sun, 21 Jul 2013Amidst a good year for Cadillac, which is experiencing higher sales gains than any other US brand this year, the US sales chief has been fired over a policy violation, Automotive News reports.
The sales chief, Chase Hawkins, "has left effective immediately," GM spokesman David Caldwell told Automotive News. Caldwell went on to say that Hawkins' replacement would be chosen soon.
Hawkins became the US sales chief in June 2012, and before that was the regional sales director for Cadillac in the Northeast US, overseeing 168 dealerships.
2017 Cadillac XT5 will debut in Dubai
Tue, Sep 8 2015Cadillac confirmed the 2017 XT5 crossover – the replacement for the SRX – will officially debut at the Dubai Motor Show in November. The XT5 will then make its first North American appearance at the Los Angeles Auto Show later that month. The current SRX is a hugely important vehicle for Cadillac – it's still the company's best-selling product worldwide. But it's pretty old now, having launched in 2009 as a 2010 model. The XT5 will bolster all of the good things about the SRX while finally bringing that product up to date. Above, you can see a spy shot of what looks to be the new XT5, caught during a photo shoot. "The XT5 will be the cornerstone of a series of crossovers bearing the 'XT' designation," Cadillac said in a statement. We've long known that Cadillac wants to add a CUV between the XT5 and its flagship Escalade. But we think there's also room for something smaller – a proper fighter to the expanding entry-level luxury crossover segment that includes the Mercedes-Benz GLA, BMW X1, upcoming Infiniti QX30, and more. We'll have more information on the 2017 XT5 this week. In addition to the auto show news, Cadillac confirmed it will have a few photos and details to share in the coming days. Stay tuned.
