1966 CADILLAC DEVILLE CONVERTIBLE.  THIS IS A RUNNING, DRIVING, CADILLAC.  I HAVE A CLEAR TITLE IN MY NAME. IT SHIFTS SMOOTHLY, AND STOPS AS IT SHOULD.  THE ENGINE SOUNDS GOOD, BUT SMOKES WHEN FIRST STARTED.  IT HAS POWER WINDOWS, POWER TOP, AND POWER SEATS.  SOME OF THE WINDOWS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY, AND THE POWER TOP DOES NOT WORK.  THE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, HORN, AND POWER STEERING WORK PROPERLY.  THE AIR CONDITIONING IS COMPLETE, BUT DOES NOT WORK.  THERE ARE RUST ISSUES ON BOTH SIDES THAT IS CLEARLY SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. ALL OF THE GLASS, INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL REAR WINDOW GLASS, IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  PLEASE LOOK CLOSELY AT ALL OF THE PHOTOS.  I WANT TO BE SURE ALL BIDDERS KNOW EXACTLY THE CONDITION OF MY CADILLAC.  WITH THIS IN MIND I WILL ATTEMPT TO DETAIL THE PROBLEM AREAS:

1. THE FLOORS AND FRAME ARE DRY AND RUST FREE, BUT THE SIDE BODY PANELS AND TRUNK HAVE RUST BUBBLES SHOWING THROUGH THE ORIGINAL PAINT.  (AGAIN LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PHOTOS)
2. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NEEDS ATTENTION.  THE POWER WINDOWS AND TOP DO NOT WORK PROPERLY.  THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WINDOW WORKS AS IT SHOULD.  THERE IS A NEW SET OF POWER TOP RUBBER SEALS, AND USED POWER WINDOW MOTORS THAT COME WITH THE CAR.  
3. THE CENTER CENTER SECTION OF THE GRILLE HAS BEEN DAMAGED.  BOTH SIDE SECTIONS OF THE GRILLE ARE GOOD.  THERE IS A MINOR DENT ON ONE SIDE OF THE REAR PANEL, ABOUT THE SIZE OF MY HAND.   OVER ALL THE BODY IS STRAIGHT.
4. I RECENTLY DROVE THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES IN 95 DEGREE HEAT, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE DID NOT OVERHEAT.  AS I MENTIONED, THE ENGINE SMOKES.  I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS BECAUSE THE CAR HAS SET FOR A LONG TIME, OR IF IT NEEDS A RING AND VALVE JOB.
5.  THE INTERIOR, PARTICULARLY THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR PANEL, NEEDS ATTENTION.  THE FRONT SEAT ARE IN GOOD CONDITION, BUT THE REAR SEAT APPEAR TO SUN DAMAGE.  THERE IS A BOLT OF ORIGINAL SEAT MATERIAL THAT COMES WITH THE CAR.  A TONNEAU COVER FOR THE TOP BOOT IS ALSO INCLUDED.

A $500 PAYPAL DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION, UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE.  PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO END THE AUCTION EARLY.  IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 5 POSITIVE EBAY FEEDBACKS, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING.  I WANT THIS TO BE A GOOD, STRAIGHT FORWARD, AUCTION.

GM considering new powertrain options for large SUVs

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

Aside from the new General Motors offerings, there's not a whole lot of action going on in the fullsize SUV segment. That doesn't seem to be stopping GM from pushing the envelope in the market as Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is looking to introduce some new powertrain options into the Chevy Tahoe (and Suburban), GMC Yukon (and Yukon XL) and the Cadillac Escalade - all have been redesigned for the 2015 model year.
Now, we already know that GM and Ford are collaborating on nine- and ten-speed transmissions for a broad range of applications (including the big SUVs), but this new report says that GM is also considering other options as a way to one-up the competition and, of course, to optimize fuel economy. AN quotes Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for GM trucks, as saying that "interesting powertrain technologies" are coming including a return of a hybrid SUV and possibly even a diesel engine. Although it sounds like the latter could come down to how customers respond to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.

Cadillac sales chief fired over policy violation

Sun, 21 Jul 2013

Amidst a good year for Cadillac, which is experiencing higher sales gains than any other US brand this year, the US sales chief has been fired over a policy violation, Automotive News reports.
The sales chief, Chase Hawkins, "has left effective immediately," GM spokesman David Caldwell told Automotive News. Caldwell went on to say that Hawkins' replacement would be chosen soon.
Hawkins became the US sales chief in June 2012, and before that was the regional sales director for Cadillac in the Northeast US, overseeing 168 dealerships.

Cadillac to ditch China-only LWB models for global 'right size'

Sat, Mar 26 2016

We often think of Buick being General Motors' poster child in China, but would it surprise you to hear that Cadillac is just doing a bang-up job in the People's Republic? It's true, the Standard of the World is on fire, and it's doing so with a surprising group of buyers that are going to push through globe-spanning changes for the brand. Cadillac's average buyer age in the People's Republic of China is just 34. Yes, younger buyers dominate the Chinese market, but according to Reuters, Cadillac's young buyers want to drive and they don't want the typical businessman's German-badged sedan. Cadillac understands this, and is setting about to exploit it with a shift in its Chinese strategy. According to President Johan de Nysschen, the company will begin moving away from the China-only, long-wheelbase models, like the ATS-L. Instead, it will push for a global "right size" design, along with some stylistic changes. "You will see a softening of some of the hard edges, and more three-dimension styling on the side of the car," de Nysschen told Reuters, while noting that the cars will still be "instantly recognizable as Cadillac." Even without these changes, though, Cadillac has bucked the trend in China. At 17 percent, the company's sales exceeded the PRC's overall market growth of 7.3 percent by a significant margin. In fact, Cadillac's 2015 gains outpaced the overall market growth in China over the past three years, as the brand jumped to nearly 80,000 units. And the company is hoping to push that even higher, Reuters reports, with President Johan de Nysschen targeting a 25-percent increase in 2016. Related Video:
