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.

Semi-autonomous Cadillac CT6 has Batman's seal of approval

Fri, Nov 11 2016

Earlier this year, Cadillac pushed the launch of its Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology back to 2017, but it looks like the automaker is still hard at work testing the system on its vehicles. Our photographers snapped a CT6 sedan with what appears to be the Super Cruise technology in broad daylight. The CT6 in the pictures, ignoring the massive equipment on the car's roof, appears to be stock. The barely camouflaged vehicle has more sensors on the front fascia and a black rear bumper, but other than those points, looks normal. Getting back to the massive piece of equipment on the CT6's roof. There's no way to definitively state what it is, but there appears to be four cameras on the corners of the rack. A sensor or camera is also fitted to the right side mirror, which is slightly camouflaged. With all of the wires from the roof going into the vehicle, there's a chance that the massive blacked-out piece of equipment on the roof could be used to gather data. While the equipment looks extremely scientific, someone at Cadillac must have a sense of humor, or be a huge fan of DC Comics, as a Batman's logo is prominently displayed on the roof-mounted gear. Cadillac announced its Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology two years ago. The system will be able to speed the car up, keep the vehicle in its lane, and slow it down. The goal, in 2014, was to introduce the technology in two years (2016), but the automaker delayed the tech until 2017.

Nine cars we wish were convertibles

Thu, Apr 16 2015

The snow has melted, the sun is shining, and the days are getting longer. At the Autoblog Detroit office we feel like our winter hibernation is finally over. And with warmer temperatures come visions of opening up a convertible roof and cruising. You know, just turn up the bass and let the Alpine blast. There are plenty of droptops on sale in the US, and more on the way (like the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata). That said, we always want more. More! More! More! In that spirit, we cooked up a list of nine cars aren't currently sold as convertible, but ought to be. Check out our picks, below. Summer's just around the corner. Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S In some parallel universe, this car actually happened. Toyota showed us a FT 86 Convertible concept at the Geneva Motor Show in 2013, and we immediately started licking our chops over the thought of a rear-wheel-drive convertible based on the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S twins. These days, the MX-5 Miata is our only option for affordable roadster fun. A competitor to the Mazda seems like a no-brainer to us, especially since we have naught but good to say about the BRZ/FR-S as-is. Unfortunately in our present timeline, this car is as likely for production as a BRZ STI. Which is to say, not very. Dang. Lexus RC F Unlike the FR-S, a convertible from Toyota's luxury division might actually see the light of day. The current IS convertible is about to be phased out, and the Lexus LF-C2 concept from the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show is really a thinly veiled look at a possible RC convertible. A droptop RC would be plenty good, but let's reach for the starts. What we really want is to run topless in an RC F, complete with that powerful, loud, 5.0-liter V8 engine. Lexus says the RC F is a true competitor to the BMW M4. If that's true, it only makes sense for Lexus to mimic the Germans and offer its performance coupe in a folding hardtop form. Maybach Landaulet Maybach is bach back, recast as an upper crust trim level for Mercedes-Benz. The Mercedes-Maybach S600 is seriously awesome, and more luxurious than a trip to the spa. But why not go a step into the truly ridiculous levels of extravagence and bring back that open-top Landaulet? We think your local princess will love this idea, and with better S-Class bones underneath, Jeeves will have a pretty enjoyable ship to steer, too. Besides, with that slick new Mercedes design language, a Landaulet redux wouldn't be nearly as hideous as the old model, pictured here.
