As far as I am concerned, the 1966 Deville is one of the most beautiful cars ever produced.  If you have never really taken a good look at the dashboard and instrumentation of the 1966 Deville I urge you to do so, and take some time with it.  The materials used are of the highest quality and the design is such a spectacular combination of vintage bezeled gauges, brushed stainless and clean lines that the first time I saw it I really thought it was a custom treatment.  Just ponder the passenger side of the dashboard and tell me that it doesn't look as modern as anything on the road, but without a pesky airbag to fill up that incredible concave sweep into the meeting of the dash and door edge.  It is clear how someone back in 1966 would feel limitless pride at driving one of these beauties off the dealer lot and calling it their own.  

It was love at first sight for me, and I told myself I would never be without a 1966 Deville (coupe or sedan) in my collection.  This beautiful silver coupe Deville with 86,250 miles is one of two that I currently own.  I've included photos of the itemized repairs performed by the previous owner just before I purchased the car.  It was a very thorough going over and totalled about $3400, which included brakes from pedal to wheel, alternator, belts, carb rebuild, gas tank sealed and recoated inside, new distributor, thermostat, tune up, bulbs, ignition wires, new ball joints, undercoating and transmission service.   I have also made my own improvements.  I purchased four new whitewall tires, had an electronic ignition conversion professionally installed and replaced the power antenna.  Documentation on other work performed much earlier in the car's history is also included.  The plastic seat covers were added on September 9, 1978 and are a kitchy addition to the car's charm.  I considered removing them, but they are in such nice shape it seemed a shame to do so.  And you'll never worry about getting anything on the seats, because it just wipes off!   

I have put about 1,200 miles on the car during my ownership and it has been a joy to drive and proof why Cadillac was once the gold standard of the automotive world.  I have my Deville advertised elsewhere as well, so that I may end this listing early if an acceptable offer of purchase or trade is made.  I am a big fan of late '60's and early '70's Mopar products as well.  Thank you for your interest.

How GM's grueling 24-hour test gets the kinks out of its performance cars

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

One of the biggest challenges automakers face when designing a high-performance car is making sure that it is both fast and reliable. For General Motors, any car that might be taken to the track by its owner - like the Corvette, Camaro Z/28 (shown above) and the Cadillac CTS-V, for example - undergoes a rigorous and strenuous 24-hour test by engineers at the Milford Proving Grounds, as pointed out by Car and Driver.
We've posted on this topic in the past - on a video showing the Camaro ZL1 being brutalized, for instance - but this article gives a more in-depth look at what actually happens behind the scenes... including what that poor ZL1 went through. Though the test isn't for 24 hours straight, the cars are pushed as hard as possible by some of GM's best drivers with only the brakes and tires replaced frequently.
We don't want to ruin the fun for you, but it is an interesting article that tells just some of what GM does to develop its sports cars. Check out the full article over at Car and Driver for the rest of the story.

2013 Cadillac XTS [w/video]

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

The Cadillac Of Stopgaps
As confusing as most alphanumeric car names have gotten in recent years, at least one constant has been that the letter "X" is generally indicative of a crossover. Then why did General Motors use this letter on its new 2013 Cadillac XTS luxury sedan? Well, for that, we'll have to look to the world of mathematics where "X" stands for an unknown variable or a placeholder. Now we're talking. The XTS is just an interim product sitting at the top of Cadillac's four-door food chain until the brand gets a true flagship in place. That sounds like a lot of resources to spend on what will likely be a one-and-done model, but the automaker needed to get something - anything - to replace the DTS.
So here you have the 2013 XTS. A big luxury sedan that was created to bridge the gap between Cadillac's recent past and its pending future. Going into our week with this XTS knowing that it was a stopgap measure proved to be both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, we know (or hope) that this car will act as a baseline for future high-end Cadillac models, but at the same time, we couldn't help but be mindful of past stopgap models, albeit in more entry-level segments, like the Cimarron and Catera.

Semi-autonomous Cadillac CT6 has Batman's seal of approval

Fri, Nov 11 2016

Earlier this year, Cadillac pushed the launch of its Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology back to 2017, but it looks like the automaker is still hard at work testing the system on its vehicles. Our photographers snapped a CT6 sedan with what appears to be the Super Cruise technology in broad daylight. The CT6 in the pictures, ignoring the massive equipment on the car's roof, appears to be stock. The barely camouflaged vehicle has more sensors on the front fascia and a black rear bumper, but other than those points, looks normal. Getting back to the massive piece of equipment on the CT6's roof. There's no way to definitively state what it is, but there appears to be four cameras on the corners of the rack. A sensor or camera is also fitted to the right side mirror, which is slightly camouflaged. With all of the wires from the roof going into the vehicle, there's a chance that the massive blacked-out piece of equipment on the roof could be used to gather data. While the equipment looks extremely scientific, someone at Cadillac must have a sense of humor, or be a huge fan of DC Comics, as a Batman's logo is prominently displayed on the roof-mounted gear. Cadillac announced its Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology two years ago. The system will be able to speed the car up, keep the vehicle in its lane, and slow it down. The goal, in 2014, was to introduce the technology in two years (2016), but the automaker delayed the tech until 2017.
