1966 Cadillac convertible.  Same owner since 1967.  This car has been in storage since 1997 when the owner passed away. This car has the rare R code trim package which includes bucket seats, head rests, and reclining passenger side bucket seat. This car is loaded with other options including Air conditioning, tilt telescopic steering wheel, twilight sentinel, automatic headlight dimmer, AM/FM Stereo radio (first year offered), and Eldorado horn. The Red interior could be cleaned and used as is.  It is that nice so is the carpet. The top is good and so is the trunk lining.  The original red top boot is still in the trunk. The floors in the car are great with no rot I can see. The trunk floor is the same. The only spot I see an issue is the very back body mount is starting to flake away at the bottom, but is not gone.  See pictures.  The grille center bar is cracked, but another very nice grill goes with the car. The front bumper ends are rotted, but a set of nice ones go with the car. The left front fender is dented, which is very fixable, but I have another nice fender that goes with the car. I also have a set of steel wheels I’m having sandblasted and painted black that will go with the car.  The car fires right off and runs off the gas tank fine.  I have backed the car up and down the drive fine.  The brakes work when I pump them a couple times.  You could drive this car up on a trailer no problem.   This car shows 57,000 miles and I believe it to be correct, but can’t guarantee same. This car is sold where is as is.  Make your inspections before you bid. I can be reached through e-mail or Call 630-542-0031 with questions. $500.00 dollar pay pal deposit due within 24 hours of auction end. The remainder of payment is due within 7 days of auction end via bank transfer. Shipping is buyer’s responsibility, but I will help arrange. This is a nice car at a great price. Thanks For Looking!

Cadillac logo losing its wreath?

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

The easily recognizable Cadillac logo dates back to the company's founding in the early 1900s, but over the last 110 years, there has been an on-again, off-again love affair with the wreath surrounding the crest. Cadillac's current badge design has used the wreath since the 1980s, but Automotive News is reporting that GM's luxury division is planning to ditch the laurel wreath for a cleaner-looking logo.
The new logo could make its debut as early as next month on a new concept car that will be revealed at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, although the report also says that it might be until 2015 before it makes its way to a production car. Even then, it doesn't like anything has been finalized yet, as the article also says that plans could still change.
As Cadillac looks to improve its global presence as a luxury automaker, the report says that a simpler logo could make it easier for designers to incorporate the badge onto the car - either in the grille or above the grille (possibly in a fashion similar to Mercedes-Benz). Head on over to the AN article, which shows the Cadillac logo dating back to its earliest design.

2016 Cadillac CTS-V prepares to kick ass, take names

Tue, Jan 13 2015

Some stories write themselves. This post on the North American International Auto Show debut of the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V is one of them. This 200-mile-per-hour sedan pilfers the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 from the Chevy Corvette Z06, and puts it to the same tire-devastating effect, offering up 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic – please join us in a moment of silence for the dearly departed manual CTS-V – then dispatches the force-induced thrust to a very large, sticky set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. To ensure the CTS-V can tear your face off with lateral Gs as well as accelerative Gs, Cadillac stiffened the car's structure by 25 percent, fitted magnetic ride control and fitted the aforementioned tires. Beyond the mechanicals, a substantial rear spoiler, front splitter and diffuser improve grip through aerodynamics. Keeping drivers pinned during all this tire shredding and face tearing is the task of meaty, two-piece Recaro sport seats, which are found in a luxuriously appointed cabin, complete with 4G LTE connectivity, a Bose stereo and Siri Eyes Free. There's even a Performance Data Recorder, which will be on hand to record your miscues if (or perhaps when) the car's extreme abilities outpace your own talents. Take a look at our array of live images from the CTS-V's official debut at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show.

GM announces net 220 job increase as Trump visits Michigan

Wed, Mar 15 2017

GM announced today that about 900 jobs would be added (or, importantly, retained) ahead of President Trump's arrival in Michigan, where he is expected to discuss his plan to roll back fuel economy standards. The timing of the announcement is almost certainly not coincidental, as appending it to a Trump visit gives it a higher profile and dovetails with the President's jobs agenda. It's less likely the decision itself was made for those reasons, but the free PR boost is a nice bonus. As for those 900 jobs themselves, they aren't all new jobs. The only net gain is approximately 220 jobs at the Romulus Powertrain Plant, which produces the 10-speed automatic transmission that's proliferating through the company's lineup. The 180 jobs at Flint Assembly and 500 jobs at Lansing Delta Township are retained jobs – that is to say, spots the company found for workers who would otherwise have been laid off. By the way, the Flint jobs will help with production of heavy-duty pickups, and the Lansing jobs are to produce the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Finding jobs for manufacturing workers in the auto sector, whether new or retained, is admirable. No matter how GM couches it, the company has created or retained a total of 7,000 jobs this year, and its total reinvestment in US production is around $1 billion. But these decisions are business ones, not political ones – timing the announcements to make them seem inspired by economic policy, or the political situation, is simply smart PR.
