Cool 1963 Cadillac Fleetwood Convertible Parade Car Up For Auction With NO RESERVE 91k, 390 V8. Options include power windows, power steering, power brakes, power bench seat and "Autotronic Eye". I bought the Caddy two years ago in from the son of an older gentleman in Pennsylvania who owned it since the early 80's. I've put about 2000 miles on the Caddy since I've had it. Mechanical: since I've had the Caddy I've done a few things to make it a dependable driver. I've replaced the power steering pump, new muffler and pipes, new radiator (it was sent out and recored, that job alone was almost $700), new valve cover gaskets, installed a new generator, new battery, new belts and hoses and a full tuneup. I will include lots of extra parts, including a new brake booster and an additional set of door panels. The glass was removed from the doors when the roof was done: I have the complete set, tinted glass, no cracks, including the brackets and lift arms, they'll be in the trunk. The transmission has developed a slight drip recently, I haven't looked into it, I just add fluid when necessary. The linkage for the tranny needs to be adjusted, reverse is all the way to the right and sometimes you have to move the shifter into reverse a couple of times before it engages. The power seat stopped working last summer, I'm not sure if it's the switch or the seat motor. My mechanic told me the engine was probably rebuilt at some point, no noises from anywhere, even when starting her up after sitting for a month or two. Cosmetic: the Caddy got new paint in 2005. No bodywork was necessary, the Fleetwood is solid through and through, never rusted, never hit. At the same time the roof was professionally removed with all the cut areas upholstered in padded vinyl. People generally think it's a real convertible until they notice it's a four door. To be clear, the Caddy has NO ROOF. I have a perfectly sized tarp with bungee hooks I will include that covers the top area, it's withstood heavy rain without a problem when necessary. All the doors close easily. The seats were reupholstered in velour at the same time the paint was done. The original radio still works through the dash as does the power antenna. A modern radio is mounted under the dash, with 6x9 speakers on the rear deck as seen in the pix, it sounds great. The chrome and brightwork is in pretty good original condition, no pitting, the bumpers shine nicely. The rear bumper has one small dent near the center as seen in the pix. The underside is as clean as the rest or the car, floors, trunk and frame are near spotless. The driver's floor had a square of heavy sheetmetal put in to cover a small soft spot, the rest of the floor pans are rock solid. The previous owner told me he spent close to $4000 on the paint job and customization alone. The conversion to a parade car was done properly. Extra steel was welded onto the frame when the conversion was done, the Caddy has no flexing at all, even with five people in it; the doors close easily and line up perfectly, no slamming necessary and she actually handles pretty well in turns considering her size. The paint could use a good compounding. I had the door panels redone by an upholstery shop in pink and black, they look like new. I also put in new original style black hook and loop carpet. Dash has no cracks. I have the original windshield wiper arms and metal wiper blade holders in the trunk, I took them off for a cleaner look. All the directional/brake/turn signal/headlights work, even the cool fender indicators. Cruises nicely on the highway, holds the road perfectly, 325 HP 390 V8 moves this big girl easily up the highway with LOTS of power. The Caddy tracks straight and brakes evenly, no pulling or fading. She idles perfectly and the suspension is luxurious. Overall, drives like an American classic luxury car should. I
reserve the right to end the auction early as the Caddy is for sale
locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can
assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of
shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a good door to
door auto shipper if you need it. You can see the Fleetwood in a couple of movies coming out in the next year or so: "Blood Ties" and "Zero Stress", the Fleetwood appearing in multiple scenes in both. I recommend registering the car with your local "Picture Cars" company; it's hard to find early 60's convertible Caddies and this looks like the real thing. I've probably got over $9000 into Caddy; I never planned on selling her, but at the moment I need the cash more than the car. Lots of fun to drive, she's a really cool cruiser. Nice custom Caddy which is as much fun to drive as to look at! Be prepared for waves and honking. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
Nine cars we wish were convertibles
Thu, Apr 16 2015The snow has melted, the sun is shining, and the days are getting longer. At the Autoblog Detroit office we feel like our winter hibernation is finally over. And with warmer temperatures come visions of opening up a convertible roof and cruising. You know, just turn up the bass and let the Alpine blast. There are plenty of droptops on sale in the US, and more on the way (like the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata). That said, we always want more. More! More! More! In that spirit, we cooked up a list of nine cars aren't currently sold as convertible, but ought to be. Check out our picks, below. Summer's just around the corner. Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S In some parallel universe, this car actually happened. Toyota showed us a FT 86 Convertible concept at the Geneva Motor Show in 2013, and we immediately started licking our chops over the thought of a rear-wheel-drive convertible based on the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S twins. These days, the MX-5 Miata is our only option for affordable roadster fun. A competitor to the Mazda seems like a no-brainer to us, especially since we have naught but good to say about the BRZ/FR-S as-is. Unfortunately in our present timeline, this car is as likely for production as a BRZ STI. Which is to say, not very. Dang. Lexus RC F Unlike the FR-S, a convertible from Toyota's luxury division might actually see the light of day. The current IS convertible is about to be phased out, and the Lexus LF-C2 concept from the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show is really a thinly veiled look at a possible RC convertible. A droptop RC would be plenty good, but let's reach for the starts. What we really want is to run topless in an RC F, complete with that powerful, loud, 5.0-liter V8 engine. Lexus says the RC F is a true competitor to the BMW M4. If that's true, it only makes sense for Lexus to mimic the Germans and offer its performance coupe in a folding hardtop form. Maybach Landaulet Maybach is bach back, recast as an upper crust trim level for Mercedes-Benz. The Mercedes-Maybach S600 is seriously awesome, and more luxurious than a trip to the spa. But why not go a step into the truly ridiculous levels of extravagence and bring back that open-top Landaulet? We think your local princess will love this idea, and with better S-Class bones underneath, Jeeves will have a pretty enjoyable ship to steer, too. Besides, with that slick new Mercedes design language, a Landaulet redux wouldn't be nearly as hideous as the old model, pictured here.
Cadillac dealers get $5,000 incentive for ELR test drives
Tue, 13 May 2014The 530 Cadillac dealers - out of 940 total dealers - that signed on to sell the brand's ELR for $75,000 or lease it for $699 per month have managed to move 247 of them in the last five months. That's a little less than two cars for each dealer more than two dealers for each car if you need help with the math. With inventories of the luxury plug-in hybrid building up - Automotive News reports a 725-day supply - General Motors has created the Demonstrator Allowance Program to billow the sails on that slow moving ship, giving dealers $5,000 to promote ELR test drives.
A dealer with one ELR in its test fleet that racks up 750 test driven miles between May 1 and June 2 earns the fifty Benjamins, a dealer with two ELRs in the test fleet will get one hundred Benjamins. That will be added to summer incentives for dealers that pay $2,000 for units sold in July and $1,000 for units sold in August, while on the customer side, Cadillac has put "customer discount certificates" worth $3,000 on the hood for buyers and lessees.
Cadillac suggests this is about raising awareness of the ELR, but the question is how much dealers will be able to do for a car that observers - and buyers, apparently - still consider highly overpriced.
