Here we have 2, yes count them, TWO 6-window 1960 Cadillac 4 Door Deville Pillarless Hard Tops. BOTH of them have straight bodies and are survivors. BOTH of them are solid restoration candidates. BOTH of them have solid chrome trim with no missing pieces. I am on the fence between building one REALLY good one out of them and parting the rest, or letting someone else have this project. Why?? - because it will take me forever - I just don't have enough time to work on these right now, and my money is tied up. Otherwise I would just hold onto them.

The white one is a Coupe DeVille with all the high class options. It runs well (no smoke or wierd noises, tranny shifts perfect...) it drives - see below. The grey one is a Coupe Calais (which is just a DeVille with less interior trim and crank windows) ...or at least that is how I think the models worked. Grey one is a one-owner car. Not that it matters much at this point.

Here are the details on the white one. It has its original 390 V-8 (56,000 actual miles), Automatic Trans, Power Steering, Power Brakes (master brake cylinder not building pressure so brakes are not working), Power Windows and Power Seats. It basically was an all original car that the prior owner was driving on special occasions until he parked it 12 years ago. It needed some body work down low so he had that repaired and a paint job done back then. The overall outside of the body is decent. Some old repair on the bottom of front fenders and lower rear quarters showing. The bondo didn't like the storage and so it needs significant prep to get a good paint job on it. Drivers side inner rocker is rusted out and one of the floor braces between the 2 doors on the drivers side are rusted out. I cleaned out the original matting in the trunk. The floor is intact but is getting thin.

Roof has a small dent on drivers side. The hood on the car is rusty and is junk. Engine was hooked up to a boat tank (just in case the car's tank had dirt), cleaned the points and the car fired right up. Power steering works beautiful. Transmission goes in all the gears. Brakes will work once the master cylinder is replaced. It is not building pressure. If this is a concern for shipping we can get a new master cylinder and get the brakes working at an additional cost. The interior in the car is all intact and in good shape - see pictures. Two cracks in the dash pad, head liner is good and the carpets need to be thrown out. I tried the lights, windows and seat etc and everything worked. The radio is out of the dash and in the trunk (not sure why - but I was going to get a modern replacement) and front parking light housing trims. They are in nice shape. Five good wide white wall tires. Would be a great project 60's era car to fix up or an excellent car to part out.

Here are the details on the grey one. It has its original 390 V-8 (non-operable), Automatic Trans, Power Steering, Power Brakes. This car has been stored for 20-25 years now. The engine was stuck when the car was stored and has been pickled for at least 20 years now. It is a rebuild candidate, so a good core. The body on this one is completely unmolested. The rockers and lower doors show rust holes, but are easily patched since it is original paint and no bondo. The interior is out of the car and in good shape. The floors are rusted out and need new pans. Frame is solid. Bumpers are dented and have some rust outs.

For me the plan is simple: Strip and patch the body and frame of the grey car. Take the engine, bumpers and interior from the white one, put them in the grey one and paint it. In the end, you'll have a nice 30k restored Cadillac Coupe DeVille. Not only that, but you will make back the money spent on this auction just selling off the extra parts from this project here on eBay!

Act fast ;-)

Watch the 2014 Cadillac CTS get its groove on in the rain

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

In case you haven't got enough of the 2014 Cadillac CTS that just debuted at the New York Auto Show, Cadillac has let us have some rolling footage of the car around its test track along with a few words from VP of marketing Don Butler and executive director of design Mark Adams.
You won't learn much more about its 420-horsepower, twin-turbo V6 but you can hear how it growls in the rain, and you can get a better idea of how you'll look in the driver's seat giving it a workout. That's got to be worth something, right? You'll find both videos just below.

U.S. new-vehicle sales in 2018 rise slightly to 17.27 million [UPDATE]

Thu, Jan 3 2019

DETROIT — Sales of new vehicles in the U.S. rose slightly in 2018, defying predictions and highlighting a strong economy. Automakers reported an increase of 0.3 percent over a year ago to 17.27 million vehicles. The increase came despite rising interest rates, a volatile stock market, and rising car and truck prices that pushed some buyers out of the new-vehicle market. Industry analysts and automakers said strong economic fundamentals pushed up sales and should keep them near historic highs in 2019. "Economic conditions in the U.S. are favorable and should continue to be supportive of vehicle sales at or around their current run rate," Ford Chief Economist Emily Kolinski Morris said after the company and other automakers announced their sales numbers Thursday. That auto sales remain near the 2016 record of 17.55 million is a testimonial to the strength of the economy, said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. The job market, he said, has created new employment, and wage growth has accelerated. "That's fundamental to selling anything," he said. "If there are lots of jobs and people are getting bigger paychecks, they will buy more." The unemployment rate is 3.7 percent, a 49-year low. The economy is thought to have grown close to 3 percent last year, its best performance in more than a decade. Consumers, the main driver of the economy, are spending freely. The Federal Reserve raised its key interest rate four times in 2018 but is only expected to raise it twice this year. Auto sales also were helped by low gasoline prices and rising home values, Zandi said. It all means that people are likely to keep buying new vehicles this year even as they grow more expensive. The Edmunds.com auto-pricing site estimates that the average new vehicle price hit a record $35,957 in December, about 2 percent higher than the previous year. It will be harder for automakers to keep the sales pace above 17 million because they have been enticing buyers for several years now with low-interest financing and other incentives, Zandi said. He predicts more deals in the coming year as job growth slows and credit tightens for higher-risk buyers. Edmunds, which provides content, including automotive tips and reviews, for distribution by The Associated Press, predicts that sales will drop this year to 16.9 million.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
