The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. 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.

2024 Porsche Panamera; Rivian's surprise; Cadillac electrifies V | Autoblog Podcast #823

Fri, Mar 15 2024

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-ChiefÂ Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd. They start off discussing a couple of vehicles they've both driven — the 2024 Ford Maverick Tremor and the 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge 2WD. From there, they pivot to Byron's first drive of the 2024 Porsche Panamera, and then from there it's on to more electrified luxury in the form of the new Cadillac Lyriq. After that, it's on to news. Rivian made a big splash last week. Not to be upstaged, Cadillac decided to get in on the action by teasing an electric V model, the Opulent Velocity Concept. After that, it's time for a future classic; this week, it's the Dodge Magnum. They end the episode by spending listener Isaiah's money on some used stick-shift transportation.Â Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6 AWD

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

All-Wheel, All Right
There is no escaping the luxury all-wheel drive empire Audi has built for itself over the past 15 years. While nearly every high-end marque has at least one offering with power at all four corners, the hardware can't help but play second fiddle to Ingolstadt's Quattro kingdom. Leather-lined all-wheel drive is simply Audi the way minimum wage is an English degree. But General Motors seems hell-bent on raiding as many established fiefdoms as possible with the 2013 Cadillac ATS. Engineers and designers made no secret of the fact that the baby Cadillac was penned specifically to take on the BMW 3 Series, but Audi should be no less concerned about the newest luxury prince from Detroit.
GM has been stuffing all-wheel drive systems under their vehicles for years, but the effort hasn't come without nasty side effects. Unfortunate understeer, extra ride height, smallish wheels and porky curb weight meant opting for all-wheel drive was like signing your driving pleasure's death warrant. Would you like polished brass or brushed nickel hardware for your right foot's coffin, sir?

2020 Cadillac XT5 makes its official debut, adding a new engine and improved tech

Thu, Jul 25 2019

The 2020 Cadillac XT5 is here, and it’s new in some significant ways. To start, it gets a slightly revised look. We got a preview of it a month ago when Cadillac revealed the car in China, but these are official U.S.-specific photos now.Â YouÂ’re looking at pictures of the XT5 Sport and Premium Luxury here. We mention this because Cadillac is continuing in its Â“YÂ” trim strategy of offering a Luxury, Premium Luxury and Sport version of their cars with noticeable design differentiation between each one. The Sport gets a darker appearance package with the XT4-like grille, as opposed to the Premium Luxury that is set to emphasize bright trim (i.e. chrome).Â WeÂ’re expecting a noticeable change in the driving experience for the 2020 XT5, as the new base engine is the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that debuted in the XT4. ItÂ’ll be making 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque in this application, just as it does in every vehicle GM is spreading it to. The 3.6-liter V6 is standard on the Sport (optional on Premium Luxury), and continues to make 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. Both engines are paired with nine-speed automatic transmissions now Â— the V6 was paired with an eight-speed previously.Â Cadillac has also spent some time with the suspension, giving the non-Sport trims Â“revised front struts and driveline enhancements to improve ride comfort and road isolation.Â” We like the sound of that. Then, the Sport trim is legitimately sportier than the Luxury trims. Cadillac has fitted its continuous damping control adaptive suspension, given it quicker steering, standard all-wheel drive and standard 20-inch wheels. All that should make it slightly more lively through the twisties. A smattering of tech updates are coming onboard for 2020. Cadillac added its rotary controller that lets you control the updated infotainment system via that device or through the touchscreen. Available wireless phone charging, revised USB ports and USB Type-C ports come on the 2020 XT5. Then youÂ’ll notice new interior color and trim gracing the interior surfaces, as well. Cadillac says there are more Â“authentic materialsÂ” than before, so hopefully that means less plastic. What Cadillac made no mention of in its release, is Super Cruise. ItÂ’s going to be coming to the recently revealed CT5 and CT4-V sedans, but Cadillac doesnÂ’t seem particularly keen to get it on the crossovers yet.
