 This cruiser was a gift from my father in-law in 1994. He bought it from his neighbor in Arizona after she decided she was too old to drive. I drove it home to Wisconsin where it has been since. Never driven in winter but has been in the North too long to qualify as a South Western car. Solid body and frame and a good interior. The original GM lacquer paint was thin from the desert winds and was repainted with a  MAACO  urethane topcoat years ago. Before the paint job some rust was repaired above both wheel wells with metal patches. The body is still rust free except for a small spot about 2 inches long on the trunk lip ( see the photo ). Otherwise it looks pretty good especially from 20 feet away. This is not a show car or restored classic. It is a cleaned and painted  daily driver  with a solid carcass. It always starts ( must pump the gas pedal if it has been sitting long ) and drives well on the highway. The tail pipe from about the rear axle back rusted off so it has a rumble to the exhaust, but at speed not very loud at all. The transmission will leak fluid if not driven at least once a week, drips from the tail piece where it connects to the drive shaft. The vinyl top is in great shape and the rubber weather strip  is soft and pliable. None of the glass is cracked or chipped but does have scratches in spots. The chrome trim is descent and only the bumpers have a few spots with surface rust, ( minor ) . The steering wheel has cracks in the plastic rim, ( see the photo ). The lighting works as does the horn,turn signals,flashers,radio,power seats, power windows etc. The air conditioner worked when I got the car and while the compressor still functions it only cools the car when the temperature outside is in the 40's, Hah! but seriously the heater works well. This cars body is pretty straight as seen in the pictures and if you read this far there must be some attraction for you for an old Caddy of this type. For me the blush is off the peach and I need the room. Notice the price, I am not selling to make enough money to retire on , I just need the space. One last note, someone thought this car would look better without the antenna so they snapped it off, I put in a new power antenna and only connected the co-axial wire so the radio would work, I did not connect the power up/down wires.

Cadillac ATS-V shares track time and new face with CTS-V sibling

Tue, 24 Jun 2014

It's been about eight months since we last heard anything on the eagerly anticipated Cadillac ATS-V, meaning it was high time a new batch of photos arrived of the twin-turbocharged, V6-powered sedan.
This latest round includes a shot of the hot ATS-V alongside the upcoming CTS-V, allowing us to glimpse through the camouflage and spot the family resemblance between the two über sedans. According to our spies, this is the first time we've gotten a look at the ATS-V's fascia without a nose bra to obscure larger details. This isn't the first time we've seen a vertically slated grille on an in-development Cadillac V car, although it is the first time we've seen it on the ATS-V. Aside from the main grille, the shapes of the sportier front fascia of the ATS-V tie in nicely with its big brother. We are rather curious about the hood on the ATS-V. It's difficult to tell from these images, but it looks like there may be some vents up there that may be meant to improve cooling to the alleged 425-horsepower engine.
Other details that we can see include swollen fenders and larger wheels that hide amplified brakes. The rear of the car remains heavily obscured by camo, with the sole details of note being the quad exhausts, which we've spotted on previous ATS-V prototypes.

Cadillac executive appointments have global flair

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

Cadillac has rearranged its executive suite in order to take full advantage of its sales momentum. Don Butler is moving from his role as US VP of marketing to a newly created position with the title VP of global Cadillac strategic development. It will be his job to "drive the next phase of Cadillac growth internationally," planning strategy and developing new markets.
He will be replaced by Steve Majoros, an exec poached from Chevrolet's ad agency of record, Campbell Ewald. Majoros, who has the Chevrolet campaigns "Like a Rock" and "American Revolution" on his resume, will oversee Cadillac's US and international marketing.
Another component in the brand's renewed global focus includes conducting an ad agency review. Announced last month, Fallon Worldwide remains Cadillac's agency of record, but others, said to include Campbell Ewald, will be bidding to make the creative that helps Cadillac expand sales percentages by triple digits here and in China.

Cadillac ATS-V and Mercedes-AMG C63 S pitted Head to Head

Fri, Sep 4 2015

Our favorite (and only) Autoblog-alum-turned-Motor Trend staffer is back with another Head to Head video, this time pitting the Cadillac ATS-V with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S. This performance machine shootout is ostensibly a way to figure out which of these new super sedans will earn the right to go toe-to-toe with the undisputed champion of its segment, the BMW M3. In reality, it's just a really good excuse to put three of the hottest sedans on the market on video at the same time... and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Jonny Lieberman spends time in each of the two new challengers on the road, picking apart their powertrains, chassis and driving dynamics on the kinds of twisty roads drivers of these cars will relish. Then, he hands the keys off to Randy Pobst, who sort of acts as an unmasked version of a certain tame racing driver, except that he talks and has a personality. 0-60 and quarter-mile times are equated, braking performance is measured and scores are tallied before the two sport sedans end up at Willow Springs raceway. Interestingly enough, the car that proves (just slightly) faster at the race track isn't the car that wins the comparison. Curious? We're not going to spoil it for you. Check out the video, above. Then, for more action of these two machines, check out the videos just below.
