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!

2019 Cadillac XT5 Sport package isn't really that sporty
Thu, Feb 7 2019Between the just revealed XT6 three-row crossover and last year's XT4 compact, the stalwart midsize XT5 has been a bit neglected. But Cadillac is giving it a little love at the Chicago show with the introduction of the Sport package. Don't get too excited, though, because this package is just a trim group. Outside, the XT5 with the Sport package gets a black grille, LED lights all around, and the rear lights have clear lenses. These design cues line up with the existing Sport trims on the XT4 and XT6. The new lighting and trim are complemented by 20-inch dark gray wheels and side steps. Inside, buyers get a choice between an all-black or black and gray upholstered interior with diamond-cut aluminum trim and aluminum pedals. And that's all the package adds. The suspension isn't retuned. The 3.6-liter V6 still makes 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. But if the looks are enough for you, you'll be able to add the package to either the Luxury or Premium Luxury trim levels, which sit between the base XT5 and top-level Platinum. Related Video:
Spy photos show Trump's new Cadillac-badged rolling fortress
Fri, Mar 31 2017Development on the new presidential limo, oh-so appropriately nicknamed The Beast, is moving along at a GM proving ground. We got a brief glimpse of the Cadillac-badged rolling testament to safety and security late in February thanks to some clever drone work. We now have a new batch of ground-level photos that show the limo cruising around, presumably being put through the vehicle equivalent of boot camp. Currently, President Trump is making do with the first-generation Beast. While still likely safer than anything else on the road, it's starting to be a bit dated. In addition to the updated styling that makes it look like a comically oversized Cadillac CT6, The Beast v2.0 is likely packing a whole new suite of technology and safety equipment. That's just an assumption, as there's no press release with a full list of features. We can't imagine that the government would want everyone knowing what's beneath The Beast's skin. Expect Trump's ride to have reinforced doors, extra-thick glass, and even a filtration system that would protect against a biological attack. There's speculation that it's equipped with tear-gas cannons, similar to one of James Bond's rides. Even the relatively normal-looking tires are likely to be strengthened in some way, allowing them to still roll if punctured. Add up all of the extra reinforcement, and the truck-based ride is likely to have a mass that's equivalent to a small moon. All that tech doesn't come cheap. Expect The Beast to cost taxpayers somewhere around $1.5 million. Hey, it's still less than the new Bugatti Chiron.

10 best new car deals of November 2021
Thu, Nov 4 2021Sales of new cars, trucks and SUVs were drastically affected in 2020 due to the (still) ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The market started to show signs of recovery toward the end of last year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Of course, then pandemic-related parts and worker shortages along with global shipping constraints started running amok and causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. Those problems (among other things) have led to record-high new-car transaction prices in the United States. The good news is that there are still plenty of great deals on new cars. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for November 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
