This vehicle is a head turner, I named it Apollo 17 since it looks like the Saturn V rocket used on Apollo 17, and 72 was the last Apollo flight, rare to see a hardtop black on white, these are the original colors. I bought this car from an older couple who put 78,000 miles on it (it now has 80k original). After many enjoyable weekends of TLC, I replaced the the vinyl top, fresh upholstery to the seats, installed noise and heat dampening inside the whole floor board (that 500 rumbles pretty loud), then installed fresh carpet, new 3 core aluminum radiator, new shocks and CV boots, changed the points to an electric module, new AC compressor (blows cold). Runs excellent, transmission is smooth, floats on the freeway. It sits on 18" with about 80% on the Goodyears, the original tires and hubcaps come with the car if you like it original. Changed out the speakers to Bose on the front dash and rear. I absolutely love this car, it is a classic piece of Americana I wish I could keep it, but we just had twin boys. I only have one of the side wheel skirts, I like it better with them off. Car still has the automatic leveling compressor, but it wasn't working so I went with KYB shocks front and rear. Paint is about a 7-8 out of 10, it looks amazing, shines and has the original pin striping. This car is about 95% complete. The passenger door needs to have the door pull fixed, the driver door lock doesn't engage with the key, but the power lock does. It has a few minor details (crack in the winshield $250.00), but the heavy labor has been done. I've put over $3200 into this car, with my touches, but its ready for yours. It really is an eye catcher, you'll get so many compliments from all kinds of folks, prepare to do a lot of stop and chats. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Cadillac ELR production has stopped, Chevy Bolt coming in Oct.

Tue, May 17 2016

It looks like General Motors' Cadillac ELR extended-range plug-in is out as the automaker prepares to go all in on the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle. The Caddy officially stopped production in February, Hybrid Cars says, citing Cadillac Product Communications Manager David Caldwell. There is still a "small quantity" of the coupe at dealerships, but this take on mashing up "luxury coupe" with "green vehicle" has about run its course. Caldwell and Johan de Nysschen, president of General Motors' Cadillac division, had already confirmed earlier this year that the ELR, which was first available as a 2014 model, wouldn't have any further generations, though weren't specific on when production would stop. The ELR uses an upgraded version of the first-generation Volt's powertrain to move the 4,000-pound beast, and while the Volt is now in its second generation (and this year's sales have more than doubled from a year earlier as a result), the ELR never received a similar upgrade. The ELR sold just 357 units through April. As a result, the ELR sold just 357 units through April, down almost nine percent from a year earlier. In all of last year, 1,024 ELRs were sold, compared to more than 15,000 units for the Chevy Volt, and that's after the ELR's price was cut by about $9,000 last April. The car also got about a 25-percent increase in power, but that didn't seem to do the trick when it came to boosting demand, even with the available $7,500 federal tax credit. Meanwhile, Hybrid Cars is reporting that the 2017 Bolt, which will feature a single-charge range of about 200 miles and is expected to retail for about $35,000, is likely to start production at GM's Orion Assembly Plant in October. While you wait, if you're already feeling nostalgic, check out our impressions of the ELR here.

Cadillac XT5 platform to underpin three-row crossover

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Cadillac just launched the XT5 crossover to replace the SRX. But that's only the start. Speaking with Automotive News, Caddy president Johan de Nysschen confirmed that a new three-row crossover is also on the way. The seven-seater is based on a stretched version of the flexible platform underpinning the XT5, which we just drove recently. Taking that approach will give the luxury brand a larger crossover to pit against the likes of the Infiniti QX60, Audi Q7, and Volvo XC90 without having to develop one from scratch. It will also give buyers a more car-like alternative to the larger, truck-based Escalade. "It's one of the benefits of having this very flexible architecture. We can expand it, make it longer and wider. That gives us the ability to develop the car very quickly, as opposed to starting from scratch," de Nysschen told AN. "It's not running yet. It is a program request that we initiated with the engineers only last year. They are working at remarkable, record-breaking speed to get us the car." The new model would likely be called the XT7 and offer similar levels of equipment to the existing, smaller XT5. The existing mid-size model packs a 3.6-liter V6 mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and comes in four trim levels. Related Video:

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

2012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
