1940 Cadillac Sixty Special. A very high-point example of the iconic Cadillac Sixty Special. Recognized as a Full Classic by the Classic Car Club of America, this is a car that will be welcome at any exhibition event and is fully capable of safe, reliable travel in modern traffic. It was originally purchased by the famed, Oscar- winning actor, Charles Coburn at the height of his long acting career. The car includes documentation and memorabilia dating back to Mr. Coburn"s purchase along with photo and receipt restoration data. Introduced in 1938, the Sixty Special was a radical departure for Cadillac and the entire luxury car field. In 1940 the Sixty Special was elevated to the top-of-the-line Fleetwood Series with added status and upgraded appointments. This model was the first truly “modern” sedan that set the design standard that still dominates the shape of cars today. Up until the Sixty Special, luxury cars had strap-on trunks and were intended to be chauffeur driven…this car changed all that. The owner was the driver, engaged in the operation of a trimmer, modern, integrated body and chassis. With a war-proven L- head V-8 connected to a smooth, 3-speed transmission operated by a column mounted shifter, Cadillac and the Sixty Special began the process of leaving the other luxury makers in their rear-view mirror. This car is one of only 4302 produced and is a highly respected car in all collector circles ***No mechanical issues whatsoever. Runs and drives like a Swiss watch with no oil consumption or smoke of any kind.*** Features and Comments: 1. Awards- 2.

Akerson says Cadillac will get a larger sedan within two years
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It seems that during a recent affair showing off the 2014 Cadillac CTS, General Motors CEO Dan Akerson confirmed reports regarding a new Cadillac flagship sedan. According to USA Today, which Akerson was visiting, he said that a sedan larger than the XTS would debut within the next two years.
This matches up with what we heard earlier in the month about a Cadillac model that will go up against the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class (not a pricier, low-volume sedan also discussed in that article). But this is the first time a high-profile executive name has been attributed to such a report, and the first time a broad timeframe has been mentioned. This article adds that the unnamed car will be rear-, and all-wheel drive with a platform "loosely based" on the new CTS, with styling closer to that car than recent Cadillac concept vehicles. The XTS will continue production of course, as well.
Cadillac ELR getting massive discounts, some up to $14,000
Mon, Jul 14 2014Well, that didn't go as planned. General Motors had marketed the Cadillac ELR extended-range plug-in as a premium version of the Chevrolet Volt with some Caddy refinements. Now, it looks like that premium, at least from a price standpoint, is shrinking. Shoppers in a number of states are reporting that GM and its dealers are discounting the ELR in order to move more off dealer lots. The issue is that few people are biting at the official price tag of about $76,000, so GM has started offering as much as $8,000 worth of dealer and customer incentives, Transport Evolved reports. More recently, dealers in states such as Florida, Texas and Maryland are offering discounts in the $12,000-to-$14,000 range, and that's before any federal and state plug-in incentives kick in. It's not difficult to guess why. Through the first half of the year, GM sold fewer than 400 ELRs. Last month, Caddy moved just 97 units, or about as many as Tesla sells of its Model S in a day. Perpahs recent spy shots that reveal a test ELR that appears to up the sportiness quotient, with touches such as larger wheels and brakes, will also help sales.

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.
