1960 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special Still On Air Suspension on 2040-cars
Troutville, Virginia, United States
This was recently removed from 39 years of barn storage and is still on a complete factory air suspension system all the way down to the correct air cleaner. The system would partially air up through the Schrader valve on the expansion tank but currently has wood blocks holding the suspension up. The engine is totally complete but is stuck, all 4 windows work, the radio plays and the antenna will go up but does not want to go back down. It has 2 correct hubcaps, all of the trim is there except 2 eyebrows and a few hash marks. Most of the stainless is good or repairable with the worst damage being on the passenger side rocker molding which has a long deep scrape in it, rear grille is very nice. Bumpers are straight, the passenger rear end is rusted through and the drivers front upper end is also rusted through in an odd spot. Body is fairly straight with some dings and a dent in the passenger front fender near the top, visible in pictures, and there is a dent in the drivers rear quarter. Rust: drivers fender has rust in the bottom and on top next to the hood, all 4 doors are solid both rear quarter appear solid, trunk lid is solid, hood is solid but has some rust on passenger side front lip on the corner under the eyebrow, interior floors as best I can tell are good and solid, trunk floor is solid but has rust on both sides behind the wheel house in the usual spots. Both rockers have rust with the drivers side being the worst. Looks like where the car sat on the barn floor with the air suspension being all the way down it took its toll on mainly the rockers. The interior is in pretty decent shape for its age and appears to have had the dealer installed factory seat covers on it since new so more than likely the original seats are pretty nice, door panels are complete and in decent shape other than being soiled, the original carpet is still intact, dash pad is cracked and the mice have been in the headliner but it is also still intact. The original owners manual and pouch is still there as well as the jack is in the trunk. Options include air suspension, air conditioning, Autronic Eye, power vents, power door locks, tinted glass (all the glass is good). This is a rare and unusual car that needs a full restoration or would make an excellent parts car for an Eldorado. I have a lot more pictures so send me your email address if you would like to see more. The car is stored at my home so if someone wants to see it please let me know and we will make arrangements for you to see the car. Once the auction completes high bidder please send me your PayPal address so I can invoice you for the $300 deposit required within 48 hours of the close of the auction. Payment must be made in certified funds before the vehicle is picked up and the transaction musty be completed within 30 days. Car has no brakes but rolls freely so loading should not be an issue. Transportation is the responsibility of the purchaser. Over sea's buyers I will be happy to work with brokers for pick up and delivery but will not deliver to a port. Please only bid if you are seriously interested in buying the vehicle, I don't have time for petty scams. |

GM may kill 6 car models as it works with UAW to tackle sales slump
Fri, Jul 21 2017The president of the United Auto Workers union said on Thursday the union is talking with General Motors about the potential threat to plants and jobs from slumping U.S. car sales. GM's response will be more trucks and SUVs, and sources say at least six slow-selling car models may be killed off. "We are talking to (GM) right now about the products that they currently have" at underused car plants such as Hamtramck in Michigan and Lordstown in Ohio, and whether they might be replaced with newer, more popular vehicles such as crossovers, Dennis Williams told reporters. "We are tracking it (and) we are addressing it," Williams added. GM has cut shifts at several U.S. plants this year as inventories of unsold cars have ballooned. Industry analysts said more jobs could be at risk as the automaker wrestles with permanently shrinking production of small and midsized sedans. GM is reviewing whether to cancel at least six passenger cars in the U.S. market after 2020, including the Chevrolet Volt hybrid, which could be replaced in 2022 with a new gasoline-electric crossover model, Reuters has learned from people familiar with the plans. Other GM cars at risk include the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala and Chevrolet Sonic, sources said. Some analysts have singled out GM's Hamtramck plant in Detroit as one of the most vulnerable because of plummeting car sales. The plant, which opened in 1985, builds four slow-selling models: Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Impala, Cadillac CT6 and Chevrolet Volt. In the first half, it built fewer than 35,000 cars, down 32 percent from the same period in 2016, according to suppliers familiar with GM's U.S. production schedule. The typical GM assembly plant builds 200,000-300,000 vehicles a year.COMING ATTRACTIONS: TRUCKS AND SUVS GM must "create some innovative new products" to replace slow-selling sedans "or start closing plants," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of AutoForecast Solutions. The auto maker already has begun to shift future production plans from cars to trucks, according to Morgan Stanley auto analyst John Murphy. He estimates that fewer than 10 percent of the new vehicle models that GM will introduce over the next four years will be passenger cars, with the rest divided among trucks, SUVs and crossovers. GM plans to add production of the new Cadillac XT4 crossover next year to its Malibu sedan plant in Fairfax, Kansas.
GM promises to add 20 EVs and fuel-cell cars to lineup, paid for by SUVs
Mon, Oct 2 2017DETROIT — General Motors outlined plans on Monday to add 20 new battery electric and fuel-cell vehicles to its global product lineup by 2023, financed by robust profits from sales of gasoline-fueled trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States and China. "General Motors believes in an all-electric future," GM global product development chief Mark Reuss said on Monday during a briefing at the company's suburban Detroit technical center. Future generations of GM electric vehicles "will be profitable," Reuss said, but added it was not clear when GM could make all its new vehicle offerings zero-emission electric cars. Regulators in China and some European countries have floated proposals to ban internal combustion engines by 2030 or 2040. "We will continue to make sure our internal combustion engines will get more and more efficient," Reuss said. GM shares were up more than 4 percent in midday New York trading on positive comments from Rod Lache, auto analyst at Deutsche Bank. Automakers, including electric vehicle market leader Tesla, lose money on electric cars because battery costs are still higher than comparable internal combustion engines. The company offered sneak peeks of three EV prototypes: a Buick SUV, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM funds its forays into new technology using a river of cash generated by old-technology vehicles popular with its core customer base in the United States heartland. In comparison, Tesla has burned through an estimated $10 billion in cash and has yet to show a full year profit. GM earned more than 90 percent of its $12.5 billion in pretax profits last year in North America, amid robust demand for its lineup of large sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks. The company's profitable operations in China rely on consumer demand for an expanding lineup of gasoline powered SUVs. GM has previously announced plans to make some of its future electric vehicles capable of driving themselves in robot taxi fleets. The company offered sneak peeks of three electric vehicle prototypes: a Buick brand sport utility vehicle, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM collaborated with Korean battery maker LG Chem to build the Bolt battery system. Company officials did not say what companies would supply batteries for the larger fleet of vehicles promised by 2023. Fuel-cell vehicles will also play a role in GM's future, the company said.
Cadillac welcomes back Entourage favorite Ari Gold
Mon, May 18 2015With publicity for the long-awaited Entourage movie ramping up, we're finding that one of the stars of the film happens to be the handsome Cadillac Ciel Concept convertible. It makes a number of appearances in the trailers with Vince, E, Turtle, and Johnny Drama cruising about, despite the fact that it isn't actually a production vehicle. We guess it pays to be Aquaman and Enzo Ferrari. Supporting its tie-in with the flim, Cadillac has enlisted Jeremy Piven, famed for his roll as outrageous, obnoxious, abrasive, and amusing talent agent Ari Gold, to star alongside its droptop sedan. The pair are the focus of a four-minute featurette welcoming the actor's character back while expounding on the series-ending cliffhanger that basically made the movie a sure thing. Take a look at the spot, which was directed and written by Entourage creator Doug Ellin. And be sure to check out the brotastic HBO series when it makes the jump to the big screen on June 3.
