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. |

GM to accelerate its EV strategy — Cadillac could be all-electric by 2025
Wed, Nov 18 2020General Motors will roll out details of an expanded and accelerated electric vehicle strategy on Thursday in an effort to convince investors it can be a serious competitor to Tesla, people familiar with the plans said. GM Chief Executive Mary Barra, who is scheduled to speak at a conference hosted by Barclays, is expected to say the automaker is ready to spend more on electric models by 2025 than the $20 billion previously outlined, the sources said. Supplier sources said previous plans to make the Cadillac brand all-electric by 2030 are being sped up, possibly to 2025, and other sources said that acceleration will be repeated in other brands and in segments such as commercial vans. Asked about the Thursday appearance, a GM spokeswoman called talk of increased spending speculative and declined to give details. The Detroit automaker is also expected to discuss a new timeline for many of the EVs to follow those already identified, such as the GMC Hummer EV pickup and Cadillac Lyriq crossover, people familiar with the plans said. Lyriq (shown above) is slated to go into production in late 2022, but GM officials have been stung by criticism the automaker was bringing the vehicle to market too late, one source said. "The pull-ahead in programs is real and the organization is really doubling down on speeding up product development," the source said. Barra and other GM executives have been signaling the automaker's EV acceleration plans. She said earlier this month GM would boost capital spending over the next three years to speed EV development and was talking with other automakers about partnerships to develop more vehicles using GM's battery technology. Last week, a GM executive said the company had pulled forward the rollout of two "major" EV programs, and GM officials have touted the faster 18-month development time for the Hummer truck. Tesla's soaring market capitalization, and growing pressure from regulators to phase out carbon-emitting engines, has put pressure on established automakers to respond to investors who view their internal combustion lineups as outmoded and doomed in the long run. A critical part of GM's pitch to investors has been its new Ultium batteries, which it estimates will offer an electric driving range of 400 miles or more on a single charge. It is building a battery plant with Korean battery maker LG Chem in northeast Ohio.
Cadillac CTS-V gets Stealth Blue and Silver Frost limited edition models
Fri, 15 Feb 2013A little more than a year and a half ago, former weekend editor Alex Nunez and I were talking about how sweet it would be for Cadillac to offer a CTS-V in the Corvette's Supersonic Blue paint, and as if General Motors eavesdropped on our conversation, this showed up. And while the Stealth Blue car you see here isn't an exact duplicate of the hot-looking sedan GM showed off in prototype form, it's really close. And really sweet.
New for 2013, the Cadillac CTS range gets two new colorful editions, starting with the Stealth Blue package available on the CTS-V (in sedan, coupe and wagon bodystyles) as well as the naturally aspirated CTS coupe. In addition to the unique paint, blacked-out grille and dark satin wheels, Stealth Blue cars can also be done up with an optional Twilight Blue leather interior. (And you thought blue-on-blue color schemes died in the '90s.)
Cadillac is also offering a new Silver Frost package, but it's a bit more exclusive. Only 100 examples will be built, all in CTS-V Coupe form. The Silver Frost paint is a low-gloss matte finish, in that while it technically has a clearcoat covering, it's reduced in a way that the surface still appears flatter than standard paint. Even so, Cadillac states that the car should be hand-washed only.
2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Wed, 12 Dec 20122012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
