Up for auction is a very nice 1997 Cadillac DeVille sedan in Gold over tan. The car only has 58,650 miles. It has been owned by my wife's family since September, 1997 and had only 14,346 miles when they purchased it. My father in law passed away only a few months after purchasing it and my mother in law rarely drove it. It has always been kept under a carport and out of the weather and the condition shows that. The paint still has the luster that it had when new and the leather interior is soft and supple and shows very little wear. The carpet is clean and the headliner and door panels all appear as in new condition. In addition to almost looking new on the outside the inside still smells new. I have pictured the bottom of the doors and they are as clean as when the car left the assembly line and obviously have no rust. The car has a few small dings that are difficult to photograph.

I have driven it a little over 400 miles since the first of the year and can report that the Northstar V-8 performs impeccably with smooth and strong power delivery while the 4-speed automatic shifts smooth and effortlessly. The car runs and handles very well. It sports a set of new Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring tires that, while quiet and smooth, provide excellent grip without sacrificing the smooth and effortless cruising these cars are known for. While installing the new tires the condition of the brake pads and rotors were examined and found to be in good condition. T

The climate control works as it should whether it is 65 or 20 degrees all the while in auto mode. Just set the desired temp and the climate control does the rest. The cruise control works, all windows function as they should, the door locks work, power seat controls work and the soft close trunk function still performs as it should. Even the light under the hood still works as it should!

What does not function properly? The power antenna does not retract although the motor operates so more than likely the gears are stripped. And the windshield washer pump does not function.

The simple reason for selling is that we are at a point where we do not need a car like this. If you are looking for a Cadillac of this vintage you will be hard pressed to find another this clean.

All the books are present and I have 4 sets of keys for the car.

Please look closely at all the photos and email with any questions and do not assume anything. I will be happy to answer any questions and provide any additional photos upon request.

I can assist with shipping.

Good luck as someone will get a great automobile.

The car is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel the listing at any time.

2019 Autoblog Technology of the Year finalists revealed

Fri, Jan 4 2019

Every fall, we line up a range of new models with the latest and most compelling automotive technology from the past year. We test everything from semi-autonomous systems like Tesla's Autopilot to trick suspension setups like the Multimatic spool-valve shocks on the Chevy Colorado ZR2. We spend months paring down the list to a small group of contenders. After testing, dinner and healthy debate, we tally up the votes and name our winner. For Autoblog's 2019 Technology of the Year Award, our three finalists are the Cadillac CT6 with Super Cruise, the Infiniti QX50 with Variable Compression Turbo and the Mercedes-AMG E 53 with EQ Boost. Super Cruise is an advanced SAE Level 2 semi-autonomous system, though Cadillac (unlike some of its rivals) is reluctant to push that point. Cadillac would like you to think of this as an advanced driver assistance feature rather than a semi-autonomous system. Super Cruise allows completely hands-free highway driving. Thanks to a driver-facing camera, the system forces the driver to keep his or her eyes on the road even if hands are off the wheel. Although the CT6 is being discontinued, look for Super Cruise to make its way to other Cadillacs soon. VC Turbo is a little more complicated. Basically, Infiniti's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four can vary the compression ratio on the fly. In general, turbocharged engines are more efficient than naturally-aspirated engines when on boost, but can perform worse at low revs. VC Turbo allows for a best-of-both-worlds situation, increasing the compression at low revs and backing it off once the turbo spools up. The best part is that it does so seamlessly, with only a dash readout letting you know what's going on under the hood. Our third finalist is the EQ Boost 48-volt system in the Mercedes-AMG E 53. Like VC Turbo, EQ Boost does a lot just beneath the surface. Mercedes has developed a new turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and paired it with a small electric motor. While the car can't run on electricity alone, the motor helps improve both efficiency and performance, smoothing shifts and filling in low-end torque before the turbos spool up. Think torque fill, similar to a McLaren P1. Who can complain about better fuel economy and more torque? Look for the 48-volt system to make its way into most of the Mercedes-Benz lineup. The winner will be revealed next week on Autoblog, and we'll present the award Jan. 15 at the Detroit Auto Show. Related Video:

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

Cadillac previews upcoming new XT5 crossover [UPDATE]

Thu, Sep 10 2015

UPDATE: Cadillac has released another three images, which we've added to the gallery above. Cadillac is gearing up to unveil its new XT5 crossover at the Dubai Motor Show in November. We've already seen what it'll look like - from a couple of angles, anyway - but the all-American luxury automaker has given us another taste of what's to come with a quartet of images released on its official Facebook page. Set to replace the SRX that's now six years old, the all-new XT5 adopts the new design language we've seen on newer Cadillacs of late. That's most particularly emphasized with those vertically integrated LED headlights. The sharply creased styling is also signature Cadillac, as is the egg-crate grille capped by the brand's wreath-less new emblem. The dark brown paint job also looks like it has a deep metallic flake to it, offset by satin brightwork where you might have once expected to see glinting chrome. (Then again, it could just be reflecting a uniform backdrop.) The XT5 is expected to be the first of several new Caddy crossovers to wear the letters XT. A smaller model (likely to be dubbed XT3) is tipped to slot in below, with a larger XT7 to slot in above – but still below the defiantly truck-based Escalade that's not about to go anywhere anytime soon. Sedans will continue to start their nameplates with the letters CT. But after a dozen years, the letters SRX will be retired from the Cadillac lexicon. Related Video:
