1976 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special sedan. Breathtaking original color combination of white exterior with a white and black interior, very chic looking! Nearly fully loaded and also has the scarce for 1976 electrically sliding Astro-roof option. I have owned the car about five years and it is originally from Wisconsin, which is where it has spent its whole life in a garaged enviroment up until I bought it. The car is all original, has never been repainted or reupholstered yet. It is in need of minor cosmetic attention, as a tiny bit of rust is begining to flare up in a couple of spots around the roofline and there is a scratch that has been touched up on the drivers side front fender. There are two very minor cracks in the rear armrests, the cruise control, clock, and power antenna stopped working as well. Despite this, the car shows and drives very well as a daily driver with clean carpets, very nice leather seats that show mileage appropiate wear on the drivers side, with cold AC and all other options working as intended. The 500 CID Engine runs strong with no oil usage and cruises effortlessly at highway speeds all day. I get compliments and positive reactions every time I go out in this car!
Colors are very important in vintage cars, and you don't get much better than this for a stunning color combination. The Cotillion white exterior with white padded roof look great while the white seats set off the black dash and carpets very nicely inside. Also note the steering wheel, mine is still in perfect condition with no chunking, both upper and lower dashes are in perfect shape as well. No cracks or scratches in the glass as well. Has the rear defog built into the rear glass that works fine too.
The car comes complete with original owners manual, shop manual, 1976 Cadillac 8-Track tape, and the ad from the newspaper where the car was originally sold back in '76! If you have the chance, please inspect the car for yourself or have it inspected during the run of this auction. Inspections are welcome anytime during this period. Car is sold as is and where is with no warranties expressed or implied. Remember this is the last year for the traditional full sized Cadillac before the downsizing trend began in 1977, so this is truly the last of a breed of gentlemanly luxury cars. Write with any questions or additional photos, or call 301-767-5503.
Thank you!

GM earnings rise 1% as buyers pay more for popular pickups
Thu, Aug 1 2019DETROIT — General Motors said Thursday that higher prices for popular pickup trucks and SUVs helped overcome slowing global sales and profit rose by 1% in the second quarter. The Detroit automaker said it made $2.42 billion, or $1.66 per share, from April through June. Adjusting for restructuring costs, GM made $1.64 per share, blowing by analyst estimates of $1.44. Quarterly revenue fell 2% to $36.06 billion, but still beat estimates. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $35.97 billion. Global sales fell 6% to 1.94 million vehicles led by declines in North America and Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The company says sales in China were weak, and it expects that to continue through the year. In the United States, customers paid an average of $41,461 for a GM vehicle during the quarter, an increase of 2.2%, as buyers went for loaded-out pickups and SUVs, according to the Edmunds.com auto pricing site. The U.S. is GM's most profitable market. Chief Financial Officer Dhivya Suryadevara said she expects the strong pricing to continue, especially as GM rolls out a diesel pickup and new heavy-duty trucks in the second half of the year. "We think the fundamentals do remain strong, especially in the truck market," she said, adding that strength in the overall economy and aging trucks now on the road should help keep the trend going. Light trucks accounted for 83.1% of GM's sales in the quarter, and pickup truck sales rose 8.5% as GM transitioned to new models of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, according to Edmunds, which provides content to The Associated Press. As usual, GM made most of its money in North America, reporting $3 billion in pretax earnings. International operations including China broke even, while the company spent $300 million on its GM Cruise automated vehicle unit. Its financial arm made $500 million in pretax income. Suryadevara said GM saw $700 million in savings during the quarter from restructuring actions announced late last year that included cutting about 8,000 white-collar workers through layoffs, buyouts and early retirements. The company also announced plans to close five North American factories, shedding another 6,000 jobs. About 3,000 factory workers in the U.S. whose jobs were eliminated at four plants will be placed at other factories, but they could have to relocate. GM expects the restructuring to generate $2 billion to $2.5 billion in annual cost savings by the end of this year.
GM to build $1.3 billion Cadillac plant in China
Wed, 08 May 2013General Motors has gotten approval to build a $1.3 billion manufacturing facility for its Cadillac brand in China. China's National Development and Reform Commission signed off on plans for GM to build the plant in the country's Shanghai's Jinqiao zone; construction is expected to begin in June of this year. According to a Bloomberg report, the plant will have an annual production capacity of 150,000 units.
No surprise here, but Cadillac would like to sell a lot more cars in the plush Chinese luxury market. The brand moved only 30,010 cars in China last year, compared with 400k for Audi, and about 330k for BMW. With Cadillac already telling us that it would be moving production of its XTS sedan to China - a production decision that saves having to pay 25-percent import tariffs - approval of the factory is a critical win for the company.
In fact, according to earlier comments by GM China president Bob Socia, it's at least conceivable that Chinese-built Cadillacs could be shipped back to the US for sale. The brave new world of globalization, getting stranger by the minute.
Cadillac ATS to go racing in 2015 as CTS.V.R replacement
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Cadillac has been racking up victories with the CTS.V.R in Pirelli World Challenge racing for two model generations now, including recent GT class championships in 2012 and 2013. However, even winning racers eventually have to retire, and it looks like the CTS may be taking a bow at the end of the season. In its place, Caddy is reportedly working on a new racecar based on the ATS Coupe, and it might even get to compete internationally.
According to Racer, Pratt & Miller Engineering is leading the development and is already lapping the ATS racecar in Michigan for testing. It reportedly drops the CTS' V8 in favor of a twin-turbocharged V6 powering the rear wheels. Since this is the same team behind the hugely successful Corvette Racing program and the current CTS.V.R, the latest car appears to be in good hands.
The new model would also adhere to GT3 rules, according to Racer, and that might signal a big change for Cadillac's motorsports program. It means that the ATS could be sold to teams in the numerous series around the world that accept these vehicles. That would broaden the luxury coupe's exposure and put it up against GT3 racecars from premium brands, like Bentley, Porsche and McLaren. If it wins, the change could be a marketing bonanza for the brand.
