1961 Cadillac Fleetwood W/ 45k Original Miles No Reserve! on 2040-cars
Fort White, Florida, United States
|
Up for your consideration is a beautiful 1961 Fleetwood at NO RESERVE. As you can see by the low low miles, this car has been driven very little. As it was told to me it was purchased new in Michigan where it was kept in a heated garage every winter for te first few years of its life until the owners relocated to sunny Florida to retire. That is where the car is and has been ever since. There are very few negatives to speak of about the car. It has some normal wear showing on the driver seat that I just couldnt make myself repair for the sake of retaining its originality. There is a piece of trim that needs a clip on the left rear fender (trim is fine). There is also a small ding in the hood that happened while I had the car that can be repaired very easily and inexpensively. Rear seal has a slight drip (common in old cars). But nothing worth addressing. I had planned on doing a complete repaint and customization of the car, but as I said, I don't think this is the right car for that. I plan to find a more 'seasoned' car to customize and let this one carry on in it's existing form to someone who will appreciate its originality.
Details-
The car smells like a 1961 Caddy inside. Never any smokers. Ashtrays are clean with no indication of ever beeing used. The car is beautiful. The chrome work shines. The doors have no sag or slop. The radio works. The original power antenna goes up and down. Power windows, vent wings and seats work. Car starts and runs beautifully. Steers great. No wander or slop. Motor is quiet. No smoke. No hesitation on accelleration. Idles nice. Radial tires are great. Plenty of rubber. No rot. The original muffler formed a rust hole last month on the way back from Daytona. I replaced the entire exhaust from the manifold to the tailpipe. Don't think anyone has ever sat in the back seat. What a pleasure to drive. This car is like a time capsule. These cars are the reason for the term 'Rides like a Cadillac'. My wifes 2013 doesn't ride this nice. If there is anything I have forgotten to cover, please send me a message and I will gladly respond. If you are in N. Florida and would like to inspect before you bid or purchase, please contact me to set up a date and time that's good for you. I can help deliver the car within a couple hundred miles for a fee that can be worked out before the sale. I obviously can't warranty the car since it's not new, but I am confident it will leave here and take you anywhere you feel like going. Bid with confidence. Ask questions before bidding. I will answer them. $500 deposit due at end of auction. Balance due on or before pickup date. Cash is best. All other forms of payment must clear my bank and be liquid before car leaves my garage. Good luck bidding!

Note the cardboard instructions on the inside of trunk lid is still in perfect shape. Never got wet or damaged in all these years. |

Volvo and GM team with Amazon for in-car deliveries
Tue, Apr 24 2018Volvo and GM are the first automakers to pair their vehicles with a new service from Amazon that lets owners have their packages delivered inside their cars, without them having to be there. The service will initially be rolled out in 37 U.S. cities at no extra charge to Amazon Prime members with a Volvo On Call or OnStar account, and it works with same-day, two-day and standard shipping. It's intended as an alternative for people who don't want to risk having their package stolen from their front porch or receive deliveries at their workplace, and both automakers say it's an example of how they're embracing innovation as a way to make their customers' lives easier. Volvo released a video (above) showing how the service works. Users download the Amazon Key App (or " Ama-zin," as the narrator pronounces it) and link their Amazon Prime account with their Volvo On Call account — or OnStar, in the case of GM-branded vehicles. Once they register their delivery location in a publicly accessible location, users can select the "In-Car" option at checkout. They get a notification when the delivery is en route and once it's completed and the car is relocked. Volvo has been offering in-car delivery in certain European countries since 2015 through its Volvo On Call platform, which enables services like the ability to send calendar-based navigation destinations directly to the vehicle, find nearby gas stations and help locate the vehicle when you forget where you parked it. Volvo says the platform is now available in roughly 50 countries and covers more than 90 percent of its global sales. The service is compatible with 2015 or newer Volvo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. Volvo says it's available to the majority of Volvo owners, while GM says more than 7 million vehicle owners can qualify. The service is expected to roll out to more cities later. You can check eligibility at amazon.com/keyincar. Related Video: Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Volvo Technology Infotainment Amazon connected car volvo on call e-commerce
Cadillac developing stretched ATS-L just for China
Sat, 25 Jan 2014To luxury automakers, long-wheelbase sedans are to China that crossovers and SUVs are to the US, so it isn't all that surprising any more when the latest sedan gets an extra couple of inches between the wheels to improve rear-seat comfort. According to Car News China, the next sedan to get the stretch will be the Cadillac ATS, which will increase the wheelbase by 10 centimeters (about four inches) to become the ATS-L.
Designed to go up against rivals like the BMW 335Li and the added-length Mercedes C-Class, the ATS-L will reportedly be built locally in China with an engine list that will grow as well. Currently, only the 2.0-liter turbo engine is offered in the ATS in China, but the ATS-L will get the full spectrum of ATS engines including the base 2.5-liter and the peppier 3.6-liter V6. This isn't the first time Cadillac has offered a China-specific stretched sedan either as the SLS dates back to 2006.
Cadillac releases updated 2015 CTS
Sun, 10 Aug 2014Cadillac is in the process of applying the new wreathless emblem across its range one model at a time, but rather than simply slap the new logo on the existing models, it's taking the opportunity to roll out some revisions as well. First came the ATS coupe, followed by the updated ATS sedan, and now the flagship brand in the General Motors portfolio has quietly announced some revisions for the CTS sedan as well.
For the 2015 model year, the CTS - which was just introduced last year - gets a revised front end with that wreathless crest but also a new chrome grille with active aero elements on standard models and a black-chrome grille on the Vsport. The revised grille is flanked by new headlights, but behind them the engine lineup carries over: a 2.0-liter turbo four with 272 horsepower, a 3.6-liter V6 with 321 hp or - in the Vsport performance model - a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 with 420 hp that's still the most powerful V6 GM has ever made. All engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission (ditching the six-speed auto on previous versions) and (apart from the RWD Vsport) can be had in rear- or all-wheel-drive flavors.
Cadillac has also given the updated CTS some new electronics (including inductive smartphone charging, onboard wifi, and more advanced parking and lane assist systems) as well as new wheels, trims and color options, details on which you can read in the press release below.
