All Original 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty SpecialThis is an all original 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood with 72,000 miles. It's not a show car by any means, but is a well maintained driver. I'll do my best to describe its condition below, but feel free to call if you have any additional questions or photo/video requests: (512) 653-0773 MechanicalMechanically, the car is well maintained and in good shape. It runs, drives, and stops well with no smoke or abnormal noises from drivetrain and only drips maybe a couple drops of engine oil when parked (see video at the bottom of the page to hear it run). Speedometer and odometer function, but when it's cold the speedo does make a little noise. The hydramatic does have a slightly rough shift from 2-3 (which is common for the four speed hydramatics since the 2-3 shift requires synchronization of two bands and two clutches). Other shifts (1-2, 3-4, and down shifts) are all great. For more info on the hydramatic, see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydramatic Steering is tight, suspension is squeak free, rear-end is quiet, u-joints are in good shape, brakes are solid, and it stops straight. In the past year, the following maintenance items have been performed:
Electrical/VacuumAll exterior and interior lights work as they should (including the trunk light) but the cluster dimmer is no longer functional (so the dash lights are always on the brightest setting). The horn works, but is very quiet and weak sounding. The A/C compressor kicks on as it should (thermostat also works), but the charge is low (R12) and the blower motors are VERY slow (they need to be lubricated). Wipers work, but are very slow and I would not really rely on these during the rain to clear the windshield. Radio does not function and the vacuum lines for the antenna are disconnected. Vacuum antenna is straight and goes up and down if you put a vacuum pump on it. Power seat is quiet and functions as it should. Windows go up and down quietly and quickly and both vent windows crank open and close. Heater works well with no leaks (blowers are quiet). ExteriorPaint is ~90% original, the exception being the driver's side rear door (there is evidence of some paint work in this area). Body is very straight with only a couple very minor dents (shown in pictures) and though the paint does show its age, it still looks great and shines well. Doors fit well (see video for opening and closing) as does the hood and trunk lid. Fender skirts are tight with no rattling and there's nothing more than a few small areas of surface rust anywhere on the body or undercarriage. There are various touch-ups on scratches and a few areas of thin paint, but really the only part that needs attention is the back of the trunk lid (paint flaking down to bare metal). The chrome and stainless trim is in good shape with the exception of the passenger side bumper end (bottom is rusted out, but it's hard to see). Car is water tight and does not leak even when using a pressure sprayer at a car wash. InteriorInterior is 100% original and shows very well for its age. This car was originally equipped with the clear seat covers which were removed in the early '90s. There is one small stain on the driver's side base of the front seat (size of a silver dollar) and the top seam on the driver's side front is starting to come loose (not torn, just starting to separate). Carpet is also completely original and in good shape with no tears and only minor wear. Headliner is complete and rip free but has faded from its original light blue color. Dash pad is perfect and the door panels are all in good shape (driver's side has a small seam separation right below the handle). There is one missing door handle escutcheon (driver's side rear interior handle). |

Editors' Picks February 2022 | GMC Yukon, CT4-V Blackwing and Lexus NX 450h+
Fri, Mar 11 2022The shortest month of the year spawned a few Editors' Picks choices, and they come from a variety of categories amongst the car world. One comes with a particular caveat, the Lexus NX. Specifically, the new NX that gets our nod is the 450h plug-in hybrid model. We can heartily recommend an NX in this guise for its superb electrified powertrain, but the other versions fail to stir us in the same way. Beyond this, it's some of the latest from GM cleaning up, and they sure are some good ones. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in January that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 GMC Yukon Quick take: The Yukon is a big, comfortable and versatile SUV that has a little something for everybody, so long as you can stomach the fuel economy. It's an excellent middle ground between the Tahoe and Escalade. Score: 8.0 What it competes with: Ford Expedition, Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, Lincoln Navigator, Chevrolet Tahoe, Cadillac Escalade Pros: Tons of space, comfy ride, great trim variety, powerful engine options Cons: V8 Fuel economy, infotainment can be laggy, unexciting base interiors From the editors Road Test Editor, Zac Palmer — "GM's full-size SUVs are fantastic this time around, especially if you opt for the magnetic shocks and air suspension. The availability of a diesel engine that vastly improves fuel economy is huge, and the Denali trim is more special than ever with its unique interior design. I personally prefer the Yukon's styling over the Tahoe's, too." In-depth analysis: 2022 GMC Yukon Review | AT4 and Denali make the strongest case  2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Quick take: Cadillac is at the top of the mountain with its performance sedans, and the CT4-V Blackwing is no exception. One drive in this magnificent creation will have any enthusiast convinced that it's a top-tier sport sedan.
2016 Cadillac CT6 shows crisp sense of style in leaked images
Tue, Mar 31 2015You're looking at the 2016 Cadillac CT6, aided by the almost inevitable internet-aided leak, ahead of its debut at the New York Auto Show this week. As you can see, the overall shape is straight-edged and aggressive, and overall in keeping with what we've seen from Cadillac over the last several years. High-tech lighting clusters extend from the fender peaks all the way down in what appear to be LED strips toward the lower fascia and its rectangular fog lights. A suitably massive grille encrusted in chrome boasts one of the larger Wreath and Crest badges we've ever witnessed on a car. Under that sharply creased hood will sit a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine with 400 horsepower at its disposal, according to Cadillac, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. A naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6 will also be available, we're told. We may wish for an edgier range-topping sedan from Cadillac, but it's not really fair to draw any real conclusions from just one leaked image. In other words, stay tuned, 'cause the rest of the story won't be far behind.
2022 GMC Hummer EV No. 001 at Barrett-Jackson brings $2.5 million
Mon, Mar 29 2021This year's Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Ariz., played host to a bunch of the first examples of hot new cars: VIN No. 001 of the 2022 GMC Hummer EV, 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing and CT4-V Blackwing, 2021 Ford Bronco, 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 and 2021 Ram 1500 TRX. Every single one of them sold for more than six figures, with all the proceeds of nearly $5 million going to charities, but the big winner was absolutely the Hummer with a hammer price of $2.5 million. The Bronco did nicely, too, with a selling price of $1,075,000. You can see the list of the sale prices from highest to lowest of these first examples below. GMC Hummer EV: $2,500,000 Ford Bronco: $1,075,000 Ford Mustang Mach 1: $500,000 Ram 1500 TRX Launch Edition: $410,000 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing: $265,000 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing: $165,000 Despite the Hummer going for $2.5 million, it wasn't the most expensive car to cross the block. That honor goes to a 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake that was once owned by Carroll Shelby himself. It sold for $5.5 million, the same price it sold for back in 2007. Nearly as pricey as the Hummer was a restored, numbers-matching 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 that went for $2,475,000. Related video:
