See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Ernie Clair was a mover and shaker in the US auto world. He had Buick and Cadillac dealerships in the Northeast and stepped into the world of the unknown by by signing and bringing imported cars to our life in the 60's and 70's. He started at the age of 8 working in a garage and had 19 dealerships in his prime. The imported car dealerships- when none were in the Northeast- were Toyota, Audi, Honda, and Saab. This Cadillac was his personal car. And was acquired at his estate liquidation auction on September 30, 2007. For more information, google Ernie Clair, and hit Keenan auction results. There were over 100 collectible cars at no reserve. Tragedy hit the family soon after the auction, with two of his son's passing away from illnesses at the young age of their 50's. The condition of this car is good, rust free and very low mileage. My daughter wanted it in her wedding, so the car was repainted in the original color and run through the shop for any problems. The cost for that was $7200."

 Offered for sale, Ernie Clair's personal car, his 1969 Cadillac Fleetwood with super low mileage. He had a slider sunroof installed in the early 80's at one of his dealerships, and the car was used so little that the original headliner is still wrapped up in the trunk. The car was purchased at his estate auction on September 30, 2007, held by the Keenan Auction company in Saco Maine. The results can still be found on the internet, along with the remarkable history of this man bringing the world of successful imported cars to this country. He owned 19 dealerships in his prime. This car runs and drives like a new car, but does have some flaws because of its age. The paint was faded and and surface rust started from its few nicks and had a dent in a rear door. It was repainted in base coat- clear coat the original color. It was run through the shop to ensure dependability and safety for my daughter"s wedding. New Michelins were installed and A/C changed to 134a. The original spare is still in the trunk. It has had 400 miles put on it since. It has pitting on the outside door handles and the vinyl roof has a flaw on an edge where the sunroof was installed. The frame was wire brushed painted with John Deere liquid paint. There is a crack in one of the door panels arm rest. Really a beautiful car that cost as much new as three 1969 Roadrunners.

Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.

2020 Chevy Tahoe High Country spied along with next-gen Escalade

Fri, Jun 7 2019

Have no fear, the big grilles are here. Or, at least we think they're coming. One of our spy shooters caught the next-gen Chevrolet Tahoe and Cadillac Escalade out testing with more of their fronts ends exposed than before. Starting with the Tahoe, we can see what amounts to a blinding amount of chrome under the wrappings. We're guessing this would be a new Tahoe High Country trim level, mirroring the range-topping trim level currently offered on the Silverado and Traverse. The Tahoe's current range topper is the Premier. Although the rather ornate details in the grille are not found on the current High Country trims, they also seem like something that would be available on the priciest Tahoe available. The same could be said of the LED lighting details visible under the camo as the Silverado High Country, shown below, does indeed have unique LED elements. The next-generation Cadillac Escalade only shows up in two of the photos. As we can't see shiny chrome reflecting through the camo, we're guessing the Escalade will adopt a blacked out grille similar those found on the XT6 and other Cadillacs. We can also see horizontal lighting elements similar to those on other recent Cadillacs. As this is an Escalade, however, we'd imagine everything will be supersized. GM will be ushering these trucks out soon, with the independent rear suspension being the big story. Besides the improved ride and handling, it should result in substantially improved cargo space and third-row legroom. Doing so would at least close the gap with the biggest Lincoln and Ford SUVs.

Cadillac Super Cruise wins the 2019 Autoblog Technology of the Year Award

Fri, Jan 11 2019

Autoblog's 2019 Technology of the Year winner is Cadillac's Super Cruise. The SAE Level 2 semi-autonomous system allows for hands-free highway driving, reducing driver fatigue and improving safety. Additionally, Super Cruise packs in safeguards that force a driver to stay alert, bringing in a level of accountability not found in other Level 2 systems. Cadillac beat out Infiniti's VC Turbo technology and the EQ Boost 48-volt system from Mercedes-Benz, the other two finalists. General Motors mapped more than 130,000 miles of highways across the country, so Super Cruise always knows where you are. A camera on the steering column keeps an eye on the driver to make sure they're watching the road. Stray your gaze too long and the system forces you to take back over. Super Cruise has its limitations — it won't change lanes for you — but it is the most well-rounded and refined semi-autonomous system we've ever tested. There's no ping-pong effect as the car finds the center of the lane, and it always seems to leave a comfortable gap between you and the car ahead. Super Cruise launched in the CT6, which is ending production this year. But the sophisticated technology will migrate to other Cadillacs in 2020. The system is as easy to use as any other adaptive cruise control. Indicators in the instrument cluster and a light on the steering wheel indicate when and if the system is able to work. If you're off the defined grid, you can still use the car's regular adaptive cruise control — you just have to keep your hands on the wheel. Autoblog editors were also impressed with Cadillac's responsible approach to marketing the tech. The company doesn't even promote it as a Level 2 system, as it doesn't want to over-promise and under-deliver. Quite the opposite actually. Super Cruise simply works, and it works well. That's why it's our 2019 Technology of the Year. We'll present the award next week at the Detroit Auto Show. Come back for video of the event. Related Video:
