Thanks for looking at my auction. Must first start by saying that this is my baby and I really hate to part with it but it is no longer practical for me to keep.  My loss, your gain.   You are looking at a rare '92 triple white Coupe deVille.  Never a daily driver, but really a very babied car. Stored winters (NEVER driven in inclement weather) covered, inside an airport hangar in metro Detroit.  It has been detailed regularly and washed almost every time it's driven.  Since I've owned the car, it has never seen an automatic car wash.   About 6 years ago the car was involved in a collision with a deer.   The right side view mirror was damaged, the right rear quarter glass was shattered and the vinyl top (right side) was punctured.  There was no sheet metal damage.   The insurance company totaled the car, I bought the car back from them and had the mirror replaced, right rear quarter glass replaced and the entire vinyl top replaced along with the underlying plastic shell (which gives the vinyl top it's shape.).  At the time that the vinyl top was replaced, the headliner was replaced also, along with the visors, from A pillars and the sail panels in the rear.  

Windshield was replaced at this time as well.  It was poorly installed and leaked, wetting the white headliner so there are faint water stains on the passenger side of headliner near the RH door.  The shoddy windshield job was, of course, redone and installed correctly with another new glass. 
I have kept up with repairs on this car with due diligence, and I will list the parts here: 
Delco GM A/C compressor
Delco GM A/C condenser 
low and high side A/C lines
Delco GM climate control module
Delco GM rear air ride shocks- correct original.  Rear end was beginning to sag, compressor would run often. 
Delco level ride compressor and dryer, as a precaution because it had been over taxed from the leaking air shocks
Delco level ride height sensor
Front struts and springs
Delco GM starter motor
Delco battery (march of this year)
Radiator replaced, along with upper and lower radiator hoses
Front brake pads and rotors
Front sway bar links and both lower ball joints.  
Rear lower ball joints 
Rear sway bar links
New front brake hoses, and lines to rear. 
Rear brake drums and shoes
New front and rear bumpers, new grill, front clip repainted 
Delco power antenna mast and motor 
Both front ABS wheel speed sensors, Delco
Delco power trunk pull down motor and switch 
Oil changes (semi-synthetic) every 6 months regardless of miles. 
Regular brake fluid flushes (should be done yearly on a car that isn't driven much)
Of course fuel filter and engine air filters replaced at correct factory recommended intervals 

Now for the problems
Paint on deck lid and roof is beginning to check as was common on GM cars of this era. 
CD player works sometimes, sometimes not.  CD player has already been rebuilt once, and all internal lamps for the buttons were replaced, using the correct color bulbs to match the other dash lights, it. worked for about a year and then began acting up. I refuse to install an aftermarket radio, as I've never seen one that actually looks nice.  Radio works perfectly AM and FM.   Also a common problem on these older Delco stereos, I've never had one that worked correctly / dependably.  Drivers seat is beginning to show it's age, slight cracking and some of the top layer of dye was peeled off drivers seat back side bolster (the side closest to the door) this does not show up really in the pictures, it's not bad, but I notice it.  Still, the leather on all seats is supple and soft.  Incredibly comfortable car.  Anyone who's owned or ridden in one of these knows- when you sink down into those big plush seats, you know you're in a Cadillac.  There is small area of rust at lower right hand corner of windshield that has been repaired twice and continues to come back. 

This car is a terrific highway cruiser, very smooth plush ride without feeling floaty / boaty.  
Can be expensive to operate being that it requires premium fuel, but power from this V8 is undeniable, it lends a very confident feeling behind the wheel.   A definite wolf in sheep's clothing.  The Vogue tires have about 12,000 miles on them, gold stripe on a couple of them has begun to fade.   The car has had a 4-wheel alignment yearly, whether it needs it or not.   So no uneven tread wear on the tires.   Drives smooth straight and quietly down the road.  In my opinion, this model is one of the best looking cars Cadillac has produced since the 1950's and 60's.  If you don't like attention from other motorists, you probably shouldn't bid on this car.   It turns heads everywhere, it's a very rare trip when I don't get at least one grin and a thumbs up.  This engine and transmission is a strong set up, these cars can go well over 200,000 miles if cared for.  My '93 Sedan deVille was still going strong at 270,00 when i totaled it.   Not sure what else to say in this description other than if you have any questions, please shoot me an email, I'm more than happy to answer questions or take specific pictures you may require.

Is this the 2014-15 Cadillac Escalade?

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Following the introduction of the redesigned Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, we're expecting General Motors won't wait too much longer to show off the next-generation fullsize SUVs that share this platform - including the Cadillac Escalade. It's still not clear if the next Escalade will debut for the 2014 or 2015 model years, but Carscoops has what it claims to an exclusive first look of the new Cadillac, revealing a portion of the headlight, front fascia and wheel.
Judging from this small picture, it looks like the Escalade could incorporate styling cues that we've seen on new Cadillac models like the ELR and the 2014 CTS, but that article says that other design details could include tall, vertical taillights similar to the CTS Wagon, staggered-width wheels and a narrower daylight opening for the side windows. The last time we saw the fourth-generation 'Slade back in October in spy shots, the heavy camouflage prevented us from getting an idea of the luxury SUV's appearance, but this image and description gives us something to look forward to. Head on over to Carscoops for more potential information as well as a full rendering from back in January.

GM recalling Cadillac ATS, XTS, Chevy Impala over faulty brake lamps

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

General Motors has issued a recall covering 1,627 sedans over faulty brake lamps. Both the 2013 Cadillac ATS and XTS are affected by this problem, as is the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
According to an official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, "the brake lamps may intermittently flash without the brakes being applied and the cruise control may disengage" on these vehicles. The report does not state that the brakes themselves are faulty, but rather that "if the brake lamps flash when the vehicle is not slowing, a following driver may not adjust vehicle speed when the vehicle is in fact braking."
This marks the first recall for the 2013 Cadillac ATS, as well as the recently introduced 2014 Chevy Impala. In late 2012, over 12,000 Cadillac XTS models were recalled due to a head restraint issue.

Jeep Twitter account hacked, bad language, poor grammar and some hilarity ensue

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Just a day after Burger King's Twitter account was compromised by "unauthorized users," Jeep's social media feed has been similarly hacked. Both instances of digital incursion share some similarities - the BK hackers changed the company's logo for McDonald's familiar golden arches, saying a sale had occurred, while the Jeep miscreants have replaced Jeep's branding with that of General Motors property Cadillac.
The resulting tweets from the damaged Jeep account have been a pretty brutal, to put it bluntly. Most of the content coming from the hacked account is unpublishable here, using language that is peppered with racial epithets, and poorly worded "shout outs."
In addition to the defamatory tweets themselves, the hackers have significantly altered the layout of the page. Jeep's header image now features a picture of the Cadillac ATS to go along with the Wreath and Crest, some language calling out that car as winning the 2013 North American Car of the Year award, and this gem: "The official Twitter handle for the Jeep(R) - Just Empty Every Pocket, Sold To Cadillac =[" Also, perhaps in an ode to yesterday's Burger King heist, the background image for the page now features a McDonald's-themed donk. The devil's in the details, we guess.
