 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 coupe and sedan get Midnight Editions

Sun, Jul 19 2015

Horror stories and fairy tales make a mint by having the scariest things happen at midnight, but automakers make a mint by marketing midnight. Chevrolet busted out a Silverado Midnight Edition early this year, followed shortly thereafter by an Impala Midnight Edition. In between those two we got the Cadillac CTS Midnight Edition, and now comes an ATS following in the zero-dark-thirty tradition, according to GM Inside News. The ATS Midnight Edition will add $1,695 to the sedan price and $600 to the coupe. For that cash outlay you get black chrome on the grille, around the windows, and on the rear fascia, 18-inch "After Midnight" wheels, "sueded microfiber" trim on the steering wheel and shifter, plus the Cold Weather Package with a heated steering wheel and heated front seats. Just those few exterior changes make a big difference up front, increasing the appeal and aggression of the sports sedan without being ostentatious. You can't go dark with just any old ATS, though. The package is limited to rear- and all-wheel-drive versions of the Performance trim. And the color palette is reduced to four hues: Crystal White Tricoat, Red Obsession Tintcoat, Phantom Gray Metallic, and Black Raven. The three possible interior combos are Light Platinum with Jet Black accents, Morello Red with Jet Black accents, and Jet Black with Jet Black accents.

Twin-turbo Cadillac CTS coming

De Nysschen says Cadillac will be ready for a $250,000 model in 15 years

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Cadillac president Johan de Nysschen has some very, very lofty goals for the American luxury car manufacturer. That's according to a new report from Reuters, where the former Audi and Infiniti exec says that Cadillac is only 15 years away from selling a $250,000 car. "It is too early today for a $250,000 Cadillac," de Nysschen told Reuters at the LA Auto Show. "Fifteen years from now, it won't be." Now, provided de Nysschen doesn't envision a future of hyper-inflation, where an ATS rings up at $200K and a CTS at $225,000, the idea that Cadillac could sell a car worth a quarter-of-a-million dollars in just 15 short years is the very definition of ambitious. That's doubly true when you realize that, at present, Cadillac's most expensive vehicle is the Escalade ESV Platinum, which costs no more than $97,940, while de Nysschen said the upcoming CT6 sedan will be priced "in the 70s." What do you think? Could a Cadillac that costs well over twice as much as the brand's most expensive current vehicle be a reality in the distant future? Or is de Nysschen aiming too high too soon? Let us know what you think in Comments. News Source: ReutersImage Credit: Jae C. Hong / AP Cadillac Luxury cadillac ct6
