1969 Cadillac Deville Convertible, Original Owner-wife Of Alaska's 1st Senator on 2040-cars
Livonia, New York, United States
|
History: This vehicle was purchased new on June 26, 1969 by Violet "Vide" Bartlett, widow of Senator Edward Lewis "Bob" Bartlett who served as Alaska's first senator (Died in office on December 11, 1968). Mrs. Bartlett bought the car from Capitol Cadillac-Oldsmobile Co. in Washington, D.C. She then moved back to Fairbanks, Alaska where she passed away in 1977. My cousin, who lived in Fairbanks and was a close friend of the Bartlett's, purchased the vehicle from the estate in June, 1977. My cousin moved to Pennsylvania in the late 1980s and I purchased the car from him in August, 1992. At that point, the car had 62,500 miles on it. I have only ever used it as a collector / show car. I have put less than 28,000 miles on it and have always carefully stored it in my garage. All documentation regarding the car's history will be included. Also included is the original owner's manual and shop manual, as well as a parade cover in excellent condition. In June, 2014 the car passed NYS inspection. Also in June of this year, I had a variety of maintenance work done including: a front end alignment, brakes checked and 1 brake line replaced, brake fluid flushed and replaced; etc. The fuel gauge does not work at present which I believe may be a ground issue. I painted it Flamingo Red approximately 4 years ago and there are a few runs here and there. The interior is white with red carpets. The rear seat is the original white leather and is in great shape. The front seat was replaced with vinyl 8 years ago and looks superb. The air conditioning works as does the power antenna. It has a new battery and excellent tires. The rear driver's side window does not work properly -- the motor works but the window does not go down as it should. The motorized white convertible top raises and lowers just fine. The AM radio works. The power seats work. The floor mats are original to the car and are in great shape. Overall, a fun car to drive and be seen in. Please contact me with any questions. |

Johan responds to critics again about Cadillac's NY move
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Cadillac's new President Johan de Nysschen has faced a fair amount of criticism since assuming his position at the head of the American luxury manufacturer. From the company's move to New York City to a controversial new naming scheme, the first few months of his tenure have not been smooth sailing. Now, the embattled exec is firing back against his critics, notably Automotive News Editor-in-Chief Keith Crain, in a new column running in AN.
De Nysschen countered Crain's claim that the move to the Big Apple, "can only mean that someone wants to live in New York."
"The relocation decision is entirely unrelated to the personal living preferences of any Cadillac executive. No corporation would tolerate such indulgence by its leadership," de Nysschen wrote. "It is about structurally entrenching a challenge to the status quo by reinforcing the psychological and physical separation in business philosophy between the mainstream brands and GM's luxury brand."
Cadillac may not build Elmiraj coupe
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Despite the fact that most everyone who has laid eyes on the Cadillac Elmiraj concept coupe loves it, General Motors insiders are still trying to prove the business case to build the car. And it's certainly not a guarantee.
"I want to see this car go into production badly. Very badly," Ed Welburn, GM's Global Head of Design, told Autoblog. But the Cadillac design studio is busier than it's ever been before, and the company is working on prioritizing which cars deserve to get the billion-dollar price tag needed to research and develop a new model.
No matter what happens, Welburn says the car has made its mark on Cadillac
Facelifted Cadillac ATS spied completely uncovered
Thu, 27 Feb 2014The Cadillac ATS makes for a pretty svelte little coupe, and General Motors appears to know it, because multiple, completely undisguised prototype sedans have been spotted testing wearing what look like many of the forthcoming coupe's body parts.
Not only does it wear at least the outline of the brand's new, broader crest, it has the same front air dam with continuous chrome strip found on the coupe. The only real difference is that it has the somewhat taller side view mirrors from the sedan, rather than the narrower, longer ones from the coupe. Around back, the changes are harder to spot because the test car is outfitted with an unpainted lower bumper. However, it seems to lack the chrome strip that offsets the lower portion of the coupe from the sedan.
The ATS sedan is already a looker, but it is good to see Cadillac is taking a second pass using what it learned on the coupe. There's no word yet on when this revised sedan is going to hit the streets - let alone what changes will take place beneath the skin - but we're thinking it looks about right for 2015.
