1951 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 75 Limousine on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
Being offered up for your consideration, AT A LOW RESERVE, is a 1951 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 75 Limousine, also called a 7 passenger sedan. Out of a total production of Cadillac's in 1951, GM only made 1090 of this model of Limousine, style number 7523. How many could be left? They came with a 160 horse power, 331ci V8 engine and a 4 speed Hydra-Matic transmission. Even after 60 plus years this car still has it's number matching engine and transmission. Paper work has been found that puts this car in Tucson, Arizona in 1979 and we believe it has spent its life in Arizona. No rust found anywhere. Nothing better then an Arizona rust free car. Looking at the pics you can tell it is now a restoration in progress. A complete professional restoration was started about 10 years back. About two years into it, health and money issues came up and the restoration stopped. For the last 8 years this car has been setting, covered up, in a climate controlled storage area and is just now being offered up for sale. During the restoration and storage time we have found that some parts have came up missing. The missing parts, bumpers, hubcaps, tail lights are not unique to this model and can be acquired easily. Some already have been located here in Arizona. The engine has not been started recently but it does turn easily by hand. The work that has already been done on this car is nothing short of perfection. The body has not been off the frame but everything connected to the body has been removed, cleaned and painted like a mirror in black. Every area of this car, under hood, under the trunk, door jams, dash and even the drip rail areas have the same deep deep shine as the main body. A capital "EXCELLENT" is the only word to express the quality of this paint. No orange peel anywhere on this car and you can't miss the depth of the shine in my pics. It reflects everything in the garage. There are although, 2 chips and a small area on the bottom of the driver side rear door that will need paint touch up and repair. Along with all the paint and body work that has already been done, comes a complete set of new tinted glass and a new set of 4 electric window regulators to replace the original hydraulic style used in those days.(All hydraulic parts are also included) Another costly part of this restoration, that has already been completed, is all 30 plus pieces of the exterior stainless trim have all been professionally straighten, if needed, and show polished. The brakes and hydraulic system, along with all the wheel bearings have also been redone. New tires and exhaust system are also included in the already done items. Not sure what the total dollar amount already invested in this car is. I can say for sure, the paint job alone would cost you between $15,000 and $20,000 today. A lot has been done.....a lot is left for you.....finish it your way and have a really special ride. I am sure I have forgotten something important to you as a bidder, so please ask any and all questions you feel necessary before bidding. Glad to answer them and more pics are also available. For more pics please contact be direct at az1pappabear@cox.net. For questions, I can also be reached a 520-296-7559. I you would like, a personal inspection of this car can also be arranged for you or your representative. Winning bidder must make contact within 48 hours(2 days) of auction ending. A non-refundable deposit of $1000.00 must be received within 72 hours (3 days) of auction ending. Unless other arrangement have been made, the balance due must be paid within 7 days of auction ending and bank cleared before the car can be shipped or picked up. The only exception would be if the buyer wants to pay cash at time of pickup. NO OTHER EXCEPTIONS.

VW, Rivian, Nissan, BMW, Genesis, Audi and Volvo lose EV tax credits starting tomorrow
Mon, Apr 17 2023The U.S. Treasury said Monday that Volkswagen, BMW, Nissan, Rivian, Hyundai and Volvo electric vehicles will lose access to a $7,500 tax credit under new battery sourcing rules. The Treasury said the new requirements effective Tuesday will also cut by half credits for the Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Rear Wheel Drive to $3,750 but other Tesla models will retain the full $7,500 credit. Vehicles losing credits Tuesday are the BMW 330e, BMW X5 xDrive45e, Genesis Electrified GV70, Nissan Leaf , Rivian R1S and R1T, Volkswagen ID.4 as well as the plug-in hybrid electric Audi Q5 TFSI e Quattro and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) electric Volvo S60. The Swedish carmaker is 82%-owned by China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. The rules are aimed at weaning the United States off dependence on China for EV battery supply chains and are part of President Joe Biden's effort to make 50% of U.S. new vehicle sales by 2030 EVs or PHEVs. Hyundai said in a statement it was committed to its long-range EV plans and that it "will utilize key provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act to accelerate the transition to electrification." Rivian declined to comment and the other automakers could not immediately be reached for comment. Treasury also disclosed General Motors electric Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV will qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit. GM said earlier it expected at least some of its EVS would qualify for the $7,500 tax credit under the new rules, including the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq and forthcoming Chevrolet Equinox EV SUV and Blazer EV SUV. Treasury said all GM EVs will qualify. Earlier, Ford Motor and Chrysler-parent Stellantis said most of their electric and PHEV models would see tax credits halved to $3,750 on April 18. Treasury confirmed the automakers' calculations. The rules were announced last month and mandated by Congress in August as part of the $430 billion Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA requires 50% of the value of battery components be produced or assembled in North America to qualify for $3,750, and 40% of the value of critical minerals sourced from the United States or a free trade partner for a $3,750 credit. The law required vehicles to be assembled in North America to qualify for any tax credits, which in August eliminated nearly 70% of eligible models and on Jan. 1 new price caps and limits on buyers income took effect.
OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles
Thu, 06 Jun 2013As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.

Cadillac will kill the plug-in ELR
Tue, Feb 2 2016Johan de Nysschen, president of General Motors' Cadillac division, says Caddy's ELR extended-range plug-in won't have any future generations, Automotive News (subs. req.) says. The publication previously reported that the car would be around for another couple of years, but even that's questionable, and the model could be yanked even sooner. Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell confirmed that there won't be a second-generation ELR. "Subsequent generations of the car will not be developed," he wrote in an e-mail to Autoblog. "It's available currently as a 2016 model, and there's no change to that status." The model debuted in late 2013 and used a version of the powertrain in the Chevrolet Volt. The main problem, of course, was that the car had a $76,000 price tag that proved too much for most automobile buyers to stomach. Last year, GM sold 1,024 ELRs, down 22 percent from 2014's totals. By comparison, the Chevy Volt moved more than 15,000 units, and that itself was still down 18 percent from year-earlier figures. The merciful end to the ELR shouldn't be much of a surprise, as Cadillac Chief Marketing Officer Uwe Ellinghaus went on the record in December of essentially calling the model a dud. It's a far cry from the excitement, though, that the concept model of what was then called the Converj was unveiled to the public at the Detroit Auto Show in 2009. For those feeling misty-eyed or nostalgic, though, check here for Autoblog's First Drive impressions of the extended-range plug-in.
