THIS CLASSIC IS A BEAUTY! OFFERING A 1968 CADILLAC DEVILLE CONVERTIBLE. EVERYTHING ON THIS CAR WORKS. IT WILL BE NYS INSPECTED BEFORE DELIVERY.

THE CAR IS ALL ORIGINAL WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS. IT HAS BEEN REPAINTED AND THE TOP WAS CHANGED FROM BLACK TO WHITE. A FINE CHOICE! THE ORIGINAL PAINT JUST COULD NOT BE BROUGHT BACK TO AN ACCEPTABLE FINISH AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BLACK TOP, JUST THOUGHT THE WHITE WOULD LOOK BETTER. IN FACT THE BLACK TOP NOW LIVES ON ANOTHER '68 CADDY.

THE CAR WAS GONE THROUGH BUMPER TO BUMPER TO INSURE EVERYTHING WORKED PROPERLY. THE TOP OF THE ENGINE WAS JUST DONE, INCLUDING A VALVE JOB.

THE BODY IS STRAIGHT AND TRUE. ALL OF THE CHROME IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH A FEW MINOR EXCEPTIONS- THE REAR BUMPER IS THREE PIECES AND THE CENTER PIECE HAS 1 MINOR DING THAT CAN ONLY BE SEEN FROM CERTAIN ANGLES AND THE RIGHT LIGHTING. IT CAUGHT MY EYE ONLY AFTER LOOKING THE CAR OVER 4 OR 5 TIMES. ALSO, THERE IS A NARROW PIECE OF CHROME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUNK LID WHICH HAS A FEW DINGS. THEY CAN BE SEEN IN PICTURE # 18. UNDERNEATH, THE CAR SHOWS ONLY SURFACE RUST, ABSLOUTLY NO ROT

THE CAR RIDES AND DRIVES LIKE A DREAM, LIKE BEING ON A CLOUD. WITH IS LONG WHEELBASE AND WEIGHT IT GIVES YOU THE SENSE OF FLOATING ON THE ROAD.

THE STANDARD ENGINE ON THE '68's WAS A 472 C.I. MAKING 375 HP, THE MOST POWERFUL AMERICAN CAR AT THE TIME.

THIS CAR WAS IN SAFE STORAGE FOR 36 YEARS. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THAT, IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE HERE TODAY.

I HAVE ACCESS TO THE BEST AND MOST REASONABLE SHIPPERS AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP THE BUYER WITH ARRANGEMENTS.

Cadillac is returning to endurance racing with a new prototype in 2017

Wed, Nov 30 2016

In two months, Cadillac will return to top-tier endurance racing with its all-new Daytona Prototype International racecar after 14 years away. The car, which adheres to IMSA's new DPi regulations, looks as long, low, and Cadillac-like as anyone could have hoped. It's set to debut at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and will compete head to head with the likes of Mazda and Nissan in what is shaping up to be one of the most diverse and exciting forms of American motor racing in years. The new car will be run by Wayne Taylor Racing, the team that previously fielded the Corvette Daytona Prototype. Wayne Taylor himself has won the 24 Hours of Daytona twice, in 1996 and 2005. He now manages the team and leaves the driving duties to his two sons, Ricky and Jordan. They'll be joined in the cockpit by Max Angelelli, Wayne Taylor's teammate in 2002 at Cadillac's last unsuccessful attempt at endurance racing. To understand Cadillac's new car, officially called the DPi-V.R., you need to understand IMSA's DPi category. Basically, manufacturers are allowed to base their car on one of four chassis that follow the FIA LMP2 regulations. The chassis come from either Dallara, Onroak Automotive, ORECA or Riley/Multimatic. Cadillac will base their car on the Dallara platform. The DPi regulation differ from the LMP2 in two major ways: non-standardized engines and the ability to change certain parts of the bodywork. The DPi regulations are intended to give the variety of the top-tier LMP1 cars at a fraction of the cost. When it came to choosing an engine, Cadillac wanted to power the new car with something kinda sorta production based. The new car will use a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter pushrod V8 that shares some base architecture with the engine in the current CTS-V. While the power output hasn't been announced, expect about 600 horsepower. While that's down compared to the CTS-V, there is far less mass to move around as the Dallara chassis is a svelte 2,050 lbs. Since all the teams will be running different engine configurations, expect restrictors of some sort to help balance the power disparity. The parts of the body work that can be modified - The nose, sidepods, rear wheel arches and rear valance - have all been designed to mimic Cadillac roadcar design elements. Even the wheels look like they were pulled straight from the CTS-V. The front splitter, the floor, and the diffuser are common elements shared with other DPi cars.

Cadillac to augment dealers with 700 'boutique' stores

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Johan de Nysschen is on a mission to revitalize Cadillac. Since taking over as chief executive of the American luxury brand, the former Audi and Infiniti exec has set about moving the brand's headquarters to New York, switched advertising firms, launched a completely new naming scheme for its model line, and has a whole raft of new products planned. And now he's working on changing how its dealer network operates. Speaking at both the Washington Auto Show and the NADA dealers' convention in San Francisco this week, de Nysschen has outlined a new plan for its US dealers. The network presently consists of over 900 stores – some 200 of which are stand-alone Cadillac dealers, with the remaining 700 attached to other GM brand showrooms. Contrary to earlier fears, de Nysschen notes that the dealer network is larger and covers more territory than those of import brands, and has no intention of cutting that number down. But he is asking those 700 mixed-brand dealers to create a new showroom experience for Cadillac customers. In this latest announcement, Cadillac refers to a new model of "boutique" showrooms that will encompass new technologies, higher-trained staff and luxury amenities to give those attached Cadillac showrooms a more unique feel. The plan includes installing "virtual showroom" systems that will allow potential customers to configure a new car using interactive displays and "potentially even holograms." The plan also calls for "new standards for compensation... with more precise alignment of local sales and potential for each dealer" in order to make sure that the requisite investment in the infrastructure and staff training are worthwhile for the dealers. Just what form these new systems will take, we don't know at this point. Nor are we sure why Cadillac isn't including its 200 stand-alone "flagship" dealers in the initiative. But we're sure we'll be finding out more about de Nysschen's plans on the dealer front in due course. Cadillac Discusses U.S. Dealer Network Development 2015-01-22 WASHINGTON, D.C. – As part of Cadillac's overall mission to expand and elevate within the premium automotive sector, the brand today outlined its strategy to upgrade its U.S. dealer network. Speaking at both the Washington, D.C. Auto Show today, and this weekend's annual National Auto Dealers Association convention in San Francisco, Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen will outline how the brand will target enhancements in the customer experience.

2015 Cadillac Escalade blings its way into LA

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

The new Cadillac Escalade sauntered out onto the Los Angeles Auto Show stage, showing off its new familial face and redesigned interior. That exterior, with its slim, wrap-over headlights and tall, vertical taillights (both made up of LEDs) is a subtle but significant departure from the past styling of General Motors' flagship SUV.
And while there's no shortage of stuff to discuss about the Caddy's exterior, its cabin is where the big changes happen. Aside from the column-mounted shifter, the cabin receives a heavy going-over, receiving Cadillac's new CUE infotainment system and a significant upgrade to the materials. Comparing it to furniture, Eric Clough, Cadillac's director of design for interiors, said, "An exceptional level of craftsmanship has gone into the redesign of the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, and it all centers on the premium materials and extensive use of cut-and-sew live stitching."
Under hood sits a 420-horsepower, 460-pound-foot, 6.2-liter V8. Fitted with direct injection and active fuel management, fuel economy for the big Escalade should get a much-needed boost beyond the current model's 14-city and 18-highway miles per gallon, although official numbers haven't been published quite yet. A six-speed automatic is the sole gearbox choice. Cadillac has also fitted the new Escalade with GM's magnetic ride control system, which should deliver a more refined ride than its predecessor.
