1966 Cadillac Deville Convertible on 2040-cars
Williamston, North Carolina, United States
|
This 1966 Cadillac Deville convertible is from an estate. It had been in storage for over 30 years and is in remarkable condition. It is an incredibly solid car with only a couple of tiny rust spots (which are pictured and can be easily repaired). The engine starts, the power windows work (they need a little hand assitance but, really need grease), the convertible top works but, also needs a little assitance to go down but, comes up strong (probably needs hydrallic fluid). I am stunned by the leather seats... not a stitch has let go. I soaked them with Griot's Garage leather rejeuvenator and the leather is beginning to feel soft again. Also, the condition of the dash and interior door panels is amazing (and the rear interior panels as well). The only rust to speak of is on the front right bumper end (pictured). This car is rock solid and the photos clearly illustrate it. It would be so easy to make this Cadillac convertible a nice daily driver or if someone wants... a full restoration would not be difficult. Oh, the left rear tail light is broken (pictured) and a little surface rust (pictured) is on the rear bumper, on the left side but, not the end piece. Bid with confidence and please ask any and all questions. Red was a factory color but, this car appears to have originally been white or off-white. It looks awesome red though..(the car has not been in my yard very long and I keep it covered with a large tarp).

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For 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.
2015 Cadillac Escalade gets 8-speed auto, range-topping Platinum Collection trim
Mon, 11 Aug 2014The redesigned 2015 Cadillac Escalade is still quite fresh on the market, but the luxury brand has a host of mid-model-year updates for its massive luxury SUV that should make it an even better driver. The range-topping Platinum Collection (pictured above) is also all set to ensconce drivers in leather when it hits the road in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The entire Escalade range now gets an eight-speed automatic to replace the previous six-speed, and four-wheel drive models also get a two-speed transfer case to go along with it. New standard features include a Surround View camera system, 4G LTE connectivity, and the electric tailgate also now closes hands-free, in addition to opening that way.
To make riding in the Escalade an even more luxurious experience, Cadillac is adding a Platinum trim. Exterior changes add even more shine to the behemoth SUV with a grille wearing the redesigned brand crest, additional chrome trim, 22-inch wheels and Platinum badges. However, the interior is where things really get plush. The first and second row of seats are wrapped in Nappa, semi-aniline leather in a choice of either beige or gray. The dashboard, upper door panels and center console also get hand-stitched and wrapped leather, plus a suede microfiber headliner. Both front seats are heated and cooled with 18-way power adjustments, and the driver even gets a massaging function. Rear passengers are hardly left out, either, with 7-inch LCD screens in the headrests and a 9-inch screen in the center.
