Low Reserve - 1951 Cadillac Series 60 Special Fleetwood This is a gorgeous 1951 Cadillac “Series 60” Fleetwood Sedan, 331 V8, 56k. It was used as a movie car on several occasions. The car also won awards at local car shows. Options include fuel filler under pop-up rear tail lens, dual "trumpet" horns, clock, AM radio and power antenna. This is from Wikipedia.com: "The big news at Cadillac in 1951 centered on engineering, with the release of a new overhead valve V8 engine. This 331 in? engine produced 160 hp (119 kW). The features list included handbrake, warning lamp; key start ignition; steering column cover; Delco-Remy generator; knee-action front suspension; directionals; mechanical fuel pump; dual downdraft carburetor; slipper-type pistons; rubber engine mountings; oversize brakes; Super Cushion tires; one-piece windshield; intake silencer; 160-hp engine; oil bath air cleaner; equalized manifolding; automatic choke and luxury appointments. A larger luggage compartment lid was seen on all sedans except early production units. Standard equipment now included twin back-up lamps mounted on the deck lid latch panel. The Fleetwood models featured extra chrome accents and interior appointments, a particularly popular model among collectors." Mechanical: the Caddy has always been meticulously cared for, all service and regular maintenance have been performed on schedule. I bought the Fleetwood from a friend of the family who no longer drives, he's had it in his garage out in Long Island since the 70's. He insists the 56k on the odometer is original, my mechanic thinks it is genuine as well. The drive train was rebuilt in the mid 90's, under 10k on motor and transmission. Recent work includes brake system overhaul including brake lines and wheel cylinders, rebuilt carburetor, refurbished gas tank, fuel lines and new belts and hoses.. The lights work, the heater works, the radio works needs a new speaker. Clock does not work, horn does. The narrower whitewall radials are on the car now as seen in the bottom pix, I will include a second set of hubcaps as well. All the glass is in very good shape, the crank windows all work well. Cosmetic: It has a recent black paint job with a deep jade metal flake glitter. This was a professional paint job, the body was taken down to bare metal with no bodywork necessary. It looks amazing in the sunshine and the body as straight as an arrow. The bumpers were rechromed as well but the grill and some of the brightwork are showing light pitting. The underside is clean, frame, floor and trunk are solid. The interior was redone at some point as well but is beginning to show its age. The carpet could use replacing, driver's door armrest is beginning to curl up and there is a two inch seam opening on the bottom of the driver's seat. The headliner, dashboard and interior overall is in very good "driver" condition. The car has never seen winter, it's always been a "Garage Queen". The engine starts easily even after sitting for weeks and the garage floor is always dry when I pull the car out. She cruises nicely on the highway, shifts smoothly, idles evenly and the suspension is silky smooth over the roughest roads. On the highway she'll get 13-15 MPG, pretty good for an early 50's luxury cruiser. The directional/brake/turn signal/headlights/brights work properly. Drives overall like an American classic luxury cruiser 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 door to door auto shipper I've used in the past; they're professional, reliable and have great rates. Rare classic Cadillac which will only appreciate in value!

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
Three automotive tech trends to watch in 2018 and beyond
Thu, Dec 28 2017Every year, technology plays a bigger and bigger role in the auto industry. To put things in perspective, 10 years ago iPod integration and Bluetooth were cutting-edge in-car innovations, and smartphones and apps weren't yet a thing since the first iPhone was only about six months old. And I can't recall anyone talking about autonomous cars. Compare that to today, with mainstream coverage of the auto industry dominated by autonomous technology, along with electrification and almost every move made by Tesla. These three topics were the most significant trends of car tech in 2017 and I believe they will continue to shape the auto industry in 2018 and beyond. Let's examine them. Full Autonomy Gets Closer to Reality While there were many developments this year that indicate we're inching closer to fully autonomous vehicles, I was behind the wheel for hours to witness one of them. In October I had the chance to test Cadillac Super Cruise on a 700-mile, 11-hour drive from Dallas to Santa Fe – and had my hands on the wheel for maybe 45 minutes max throughout the entire trip. Super Cruise is far from making the Cadillac CT6 or any GM vehicle fully autonomous, and has limitations such as functioning only on pre-mapped main highways. While it simply adds a layer of lane centering to adaptive cruise control, the technology will go a long way in making mainstream drivers more comfortable with letting machines take over. On a separate front, GM is pushing ahead with fully autonomous vehicles and announced last month that it plans to launch of fleets of self-driving robo-taxis in several urban areas in 2019. While most automakers are also in the race to make autonomous cars a reality, GM's turbocharging of its efforts appeared to be in response to Waymo, which announced just weeks earlier that its Early Rider Program in the Phoenix area would go completely driverless. The Early Rider Program launched last April, offering the public a chance to ride in Waymo's autonomous Chrysler Pacifica minivans. In this new phase of testing, Waymo is using its own employees as guinea pigs instead of the public while the vehicles operate without a human behind the wheel, and takes another giant step forward for fully autonomous driving.
