Up for auction is a 1968 Cadillac DeVille Convertible.  I have owned this car since 2010 and have done my best to baby it and get her back in the shape she deserves to be in. It has sat with a cover on it in a garage for the past 3 years; I probably only put about 35 miles on it. Unfortunately I have to part ways with it, but that's good luck for you!

The paint is in fantastic shape for the most part; there is minimal chipping and zero bubbling.  This car is 90% rust free.  There are a few tiny spots on the body, a few on the undercarriage, and some in the engine bay.  The right exhaust pipe has a hole in it.  I was planning on running a straight pipe back to replace it but clearly never got around to it.  I have pictures to detail any and all flaws.  

The red carpet is the original carpet and is in great condition.  The interior is custom red and white leather and looks absolutely beautiful.  There is a small slice in the drivers seat, and a piece of trim has come loose on the drivers side door.  Again, reference the pictures to see everything. 

I just replaced the battery a few days ago.  The engine cranks over every time with no hesitation.  

The top has a few small tears in it that could probably be patched no problem. 
The previous owner had speaker wire running throughout the vehicle.  Me not knowing enough about the wiring of a 68' Deville left that in place.  I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to remove.  He also added a new head unit which you can see under the dash.  I kept that because it was nice to plug my iPhone into.

It leaks a bit of oil, and a bit of power steering fluid.  I started it up last weekend after sitting for a year and it fired right up.  The transmission was working perfectly before I stored it, but when I started it up it hesitated a bit.  My mechanic told me this was due to a clogged filter because it was just sitting around not being run.

This spectacular car is 90% done.  I'm leaving the last 10% up to the next owner.  If you're looking for a classic car that barely needs any work, you've found it here.

Also,  I have the original 1968 hubcaps for the DeVille in the trunk of the car.  The original owners manual and extra fuses are in the glove box.  There are also the correct wheel studs I purchased (the previous owner didn't have the right hardware) but did not put on that are in the car as well.

Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions you may have as I would be happy to answer them!!

Thanks for looking and good luck!

Meet the next president's new Beast, a giant bomb-proof limo

Fri, Jan 22 2016

We don't know who will be our president in 2017, but now we have a better idea of how that person will be transported on land. The next presidential limo, officially referred to as the presidential state car, will be another Cadillac. And a big one. You're looking at a lone spy photo of a car that will be of high interest to actual spies – not to mention Secret Service agents and lots of law-enforcement types. President Obama has been riding around in a Cadillac nicknamed The Beast for a while now. (It recently made an appearance on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.) Over the Secret Service radios, it goes by Cadillac One and Limo One. While the current car looks like a stretched Cadillac DTS sedan, it's actually kind of huge and built on a Chevrolet Kodiak medium-duty truck chassis. The same is likely to be true again, but this one will look a lot more like the latest Cadillac models. Through the camo we can see a front end reminiscent of the new CT6 large sedan. Imagine one of those scaled to about 5/3 of the production car and you've got the right idea. Fun fact: It will be the first presidential limo to feature Caddy's new wreathless crest logo on its grille. View 6 Photos As for features, we're in the dark and will remain so even after the new president-mover goes into service. The details are a legitimate matter of national security, but you can bet it's bulletproof, can withstand small bombs, and has some kind of onboard secondary air supply in case of a chemical or biomedical warfare attack. Oh, and it has that big red phone in back in the event things get really bad. The new one will no doubt carry the latest communications and safety technology. The new presidential limousine has been in the works for some time. The government sent out a request for proposals in 2013, and this model is expected to go into service sometime in 2017. Chances are it will make its debut at the inauguration of [INSERT CONTROVERSIAL NAME HERE] in about a year's time. Related Video:

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.
