1965 Cadillac Coupe de Ville for sale. Please read carefully to save us all trouble. 
THE BANK HAS THE TITLE. ONCE LOAN IS PAID OFF, BUYER WILL GET THE PINK SLIP. THERE ARE A FEW WAYS TO HANDLE THE TITLE ISSUE, BUYER AND I CAN DISCUSS WHICH WAY IS THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE THIS INCONVENIENCE.

This '65 CAD is in really nice condition. I would call it a very nice driver. Its not a show car, but this driver turns heads and gets thumbs up every place i go. 
All the power features work with the exception of the clock.
Power seat, power windows, power antenna, and climate control does work. Air conditioner does work and does blow cold. 
  A Retro radio was installed and is equipped with blue tooth along with various auxillary connections. this radio is tasteful and sounds great without being over the top. A modern light bar was installed and adds a vintage look to the car while the radio is on. Two 6x9's were intalled on the rear speaker panel, a 4x10 split speaker was intalled in the front dash, a 10" woofer and amp were installed in the trunk. this stereo system sounds great and doesnt rattle. I didnt want an elaborate stereo, i only wanted modern day perks with a great sound.
  This interior is mostly Original. i would rate it at 8.5 for being almost 50 years old. I replaced the carpet with Aqua Marine carpet that looks great. The steering wheel shows wear but is still nice. The tilt and telescoptic still work great. There are 2 small cracks on the dash but arent bad. 
  I had 3 seatbelts installed in the rear for proper safety for my children. I tuck the seat belts away when i cruise by myself. 
 All lights and indicators work through out this car.
  I had Vi Air Ride intalled on this car for a smooth ride and to lay on the ground when she is parked. The air system is equipped with a remote control and the switches are tastefully placed in the glove compartment. I didnt want any holes placed anywhere on or in the dash.
  The brakes were gone through along with all the suspension components. What ever needed to be repaired or replaced was done so accordingly. It all works great.
  Chrome is nice, i would rate it all very nice driver quality. Paint was resprayed sometime ago and looks nice especially with some wax and a little elbow grease. 
  Car comes with the original wheels and wheel covers. I also have a set of  '57 Cadi repop wheel covers that look great . Tires have good tread but the white walls are cracking but still look very nice. these tires sat in my garage for a while but still have thousands of miles left.
  The 429 motor and 400 TH tranny are original and in great working order. Starts up everytime with no issues. Tranny shifts smoothly with no issue. Never runs hot! The transmission mount was recently replaced. There are many records that will go with this car along with receipts. Odometer shows 65.5k miles. i dont know if thats original miles or not. based on the interior, i'd say that is an accurate number, but i wont garauntee the mileage.
  This '65 has dual exhaust with Smitty's mufflers and chrome tips. This car sounds nice without being annoying. 
  AT some point, this car was a member of the "La Salle" Cadillac car club. The only importance for this info is that this car is very original with the exception of the upgrades that i have added. 
  This is a great car and the next owner will have a great car that can cruise anywhere. Bid with confidence. Im an honest guy that needs to sell this car to make room for my next project. im not desperate so dont expext a lowball price. the car is fairly priced and im motivated. Make me an offer!!
  i know the title issue is an inconvenience, thats why im ready to hear a reasonable offer. but if your patient and can wait for the title, im willing to work with you on a price. Just dont get crazy. This car is turn key.
  There is no warranty stated or implied. i can store the car for a bit, while buyer works out shipping at his /her expense. If any questions please ask. The car is listed locally and i reserve the right to end this auction at any time. Automatic 500$ deposit at the close of the auction.

Petrolicious eats up Rita Hayworth's 1953 Cadillac Ghia

Wed, Feb 11 2015

The automotive industry has seem some wonderful transoceanic collaborations between America and Italy, from the Ford-powered De Tomasos of the 1960s to the alliance between Fiat and Chrysler today. Of course it's also seen unfortunate experiments in between like the Chrysler TC by Maserati and the Pininfarina-bodied Cadillac Allante. But before any of those, there was a beautiful tradition of rebodying American steel at the hands of Italian carrozzerie. And this could easily be among the most gorgeous of them all. It's a Cadillac Series 62 from 1953 with bodywork by Ghia. It's one of only two made, and has a star-studded history. The car was purchased by Aly Khan, prince of the Nizari Ismaili muslims and Pakistan's ambassador to the United Nations, for his wife... who just so happened to be the inimitable Rita Hayworth. They split up, but she held on to the car. Today it's part of the permanent collection at the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA, so the videographical artisans at Petrolicious went by to check it out. You'll want to as well in the five-minute short above.

Bosch builds an infotainment system that just might not suck

Tue, Jan 30 2018

As far as we've come with in-car infotainment and interfaces over the past decade or so, we still have a long way to go — as most current systems show. Whether it's high-end brands like Mercedes-Benz with its kludgy COMAND system, which we hope will be replaced with the MBUX platform revealed at CES, or more mainstream vehicles like Hondas (with their frustrating, knobless Display Audio interface), getting the kind of content and ease of use in the car that we're used to having on other connected devices is far too complex and sometimes costly. While Apple and Google have tried to ride to the rescue with CarPlay and Android Auto, respectively, they're limited solutions. No automaker or tech supplier has been able to deliver an easy, economical, flexible and non-distracting infotainment solution. But Bosch could be closing in on this elusive goal, given the digital cockpit concept demo I recently received at CES. Displayed in a Cadillac Escalade, the concept featured five interconnected color screens: one in the instrument cluster, two in the center console, and two more in the front-seat headrest for second-row passengers. The digital cockpit concept demo had cool features such as haptic-feedback touch-screen controls that created an edge-like feeling similar to a physical button, facial recognition to confirm driver credentials, and the intelligence to know the location of a phone in the car to lock it out to keep the driver from texting. The most significant aspect of the Bosch digital cockpit concept wasn't visible — but shows the company's vision for a future of seamless, convenient, cost-effective and safe in-car infotainment. It's powered by a single electronic control unit (ECU) that can simultaneously run multiple operating systems and also separates vehicle and infotainment controls for critical safety and cybersecurity reasons. Most modern cars can have as many as 100 separate ECUs, Philip Ventimiglia, product manager for Bosch Car Multimedia North America, explained at CES, and several just for infotainment functions. "The goal is to reduce that to about 10 so that we can save cost throughout the vehicle and enable new technologies," he added. "OEMs want to put more technology into cars, but it costs money," Ventimiglia said.

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
