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.

GM alerting truck and sedan owners to a do-over on brake recall
Wed, Jan 29 2020A recall campaign intended to address issues with braking systems on certain 2019 General Motors trucks and sedans may have introduced a new issue, the automaker has acknowledged, and thousands of owners driving repaired vehicles may need to return to their service departments for another update. The update addresses a fix that was pushed out to owners of more than half a million brand-new GM trucks and sedans that could potentially lose partial braking function, according to the Detroit Free Press. The original software fix helped address situations where the vehicles' anti-lock braking systems would become disabled, which in turn would prevent electronic stability control from activating. Vehicles subject to the recall would often experience software glitches that prevented them from properly communicating the operational state of these systems, meaning drivers would have no idea that their brakes may not behave as expected in an emergency. The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Cadillac CT6, and GMC Sierra 1500 were all recalled in the original campaign. Unfortunately, the early version of this fix appears to have introduced yet another software glitch, indicating that the original fix did not do the trick. Those who have not yet had their cars serviced can rest easy; they will only receive the most up-to-date version of the software fix. Related video  Â
Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers
Wed, Aug 14 2024Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.
