'62 Fleetwood Sedan, Hotrod, Ratrod on 2040-cars
Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States
|
This is a 1962 Cadillac Fleetwood that is in great shape for its age. it had been in storage for a great number of years and it was revived with very little effort. i want to keep the car now that the interior is redone, but bills got to be paid. The car is around 98% COMPLETE. It is missing the rear tail light cover and a front pillar cover. other that that, it is there. look at the pictures. It looks even cooler in person. I have had the car for only a few months but i can honestly tell you it runs good. i drove it for a while in bumper to bumper traffic for over and hour moving only a couple hundred feet and it did not stall or overheat. the interior seats and headliner are brand new. the paint looks very decent and was probably done recently so I am going to buff it out to get the new car shine. Ac compressor kicks in but probably needs freon and a good run thru. the heater core is leaking so I bypassed it. If i end up keeping it, i will fix it, as it seams to be straight forward. all window motors work but not all the switches are responding. I will be going thru them and lube them to try to get them to work, but I can't guarantee it will work. the dash has some cracks but is alright. I imagine the paint on the metal parts of the dash are the original color. Gauges seem to be operational and even most of the interior light so i will try to change all the bulbs to make them work. turn signals and lights work as well as the back up lights. It rides like a cadillac... a boat that floats on air but needs rear shocks and maybe a couple of bushings. it is not a show quality car but can be there soon. Please call with any questions. PLEASE CALL with any questions. Ivan 575-650-2078. Send me a inspector. I want to answer any questions you have prior to your purchase. The car is over 50 years old and is sold as is with no warranties. i wish i can keep this car as it makes me feel like a pimp. Non refundable deposit is expected 48 hours after the end of the auction. Shipping is up to Buyer, but i can work with you or shipping company. I have even delivered in the past if we come to an agreement. CALL ME... 575-650-2078

Cadillac CT6 will get high-res streaming video rearview mirror
Thu, Dec 18 2014Cadillac is preparing a big upgrade to the humble rearview mirror, adding a streaming video function that it claims will improve a driver's field of vision by 300 percent. The new system will debut on the 2016 CT6 flagship. The streaming system, which eliminates the visual obstructions caused by passengers, headrests and the rear pillars, relies on a 1280-by-240-pixel TFT display and a high-definition camera to reduce glare and improve visibility in low-light conditions. That camera even addresses one of the big annoyances of today's camera systems, by adding a hydrophobic coating to keep the camera lens clear. The system can easily be switched off at the press of a button, at which point the driver has a simple electrochromatic mirror at his disposal. "The closest comparison to this kind of rear vision would be driving a convertible with the top down," Travis Hester, the CT6's executive chief engineer said in a statement. "The streaming video is a significant enhancement for the luxury customer interested in purposeful technology." Scroll down for the press release from Cadillac. Cadillac Adds Streaming Video to Enhance Driver Vision and Safety Display eliminates visual obstructions, increases rearward vision by 300 percent 2014-12-18 DETROIT – Cadillac late next year will add high-resolution streaming video to the function of a traditional rearview mirror, removing obstructions of passengers, headrests and the vehicle's roof and rear pillars. The streaming video mirror improves field of vision by an estimated 300 percent, or roughly four times greater than a standard rearview mirror. "The closest comparison to this kind of rear vision would be driving a convertible with the top down," said Travis Hester, Cadillac CT6 executive chief engineer. "In addition to the increased field of view, the technology eliminates any rear seat, rear pillar or passenger obstructions, allowing the driver an unimpeded view of the lanes behind and traditional blind-spots," Hester said. Thanks to a high dynamic range, the camera's video feed reduces glare and allows a crisper image in low-light situations, versus a traditional glass electrochromatic, or auto-dimming, rearview mirror. The in-mirror display is an industry-leading 1280 by 240-pixel TFT-LCD display with 171 pixels per inch, combined with a HD camera designed specifically to enhance rear view lane width and maximize low-light situations.
Cadillac tipped to call flagship something other than LTS
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without large sedans in its lineup, and while the XTS has had to hold down that end of the fort all on its own, it won't have to for too long. That's because the luxury brand in the General Motors portfolio is preparing to roll out its new LTS, stylistically previewed by the Elmiraj concept pictured above. Only now, the latest thinking is that the upcoming flagship model may not be called LTS at all.
As Automotive News points out, Cadillac's naming scheme is all over the place at the moment. The ATS slotting below the CTS makes sense (alphabetically), but where do the ELR, SRX and especially the Escalade fit into that naming hierarchy? And how would LTS - as the project has been known until now - sit above the XTS?
Fortunately, Cadillac may be on the case, as two of the division's most recent senior appointments seem keen to rationalize the naming scheme. One is Uwe Ellinghaus, who joined Cadillac as chief marketing officer late last year. Speaking of the brand's nomenclature last spring, Ellinghaus was quoted as saying, "We are aware that this is currently a weakness of the Cadillac brand." And his new boss is bound to agree.
Cadillac issues stop-sale on recalled CTS, SRX
Mon, 21 Jul 2014General Motors has issued a stop-sale order on the Cadillac CTS and SRX, both of which were recalled late last month. Why the stop-sale after all this time? Well, um, GM apparently doesn't know how to fix them.
The stop-sale covers all used Cadillac CTS sedans, coupes and wagons from model years 2003 to 2013, as well as new 2014 coupes and wagons. The SRX crossover stop-sale, meanwhile, only covers used vehicles from model years 2004 to 2006.
Automotive News reached out to GM spokesperson Alan Adler, who told the news pub that the company's engineers were "looking at one common solution" for the affected vehicles, although "they don't have it yet."
