*** You need to check with your state's DMV and make sure you can obtain a title for this vehicle PRIOR to making an offer. Alabama law does not require titles for vehicles 35+ years old therefore it does not have a title and will only come with a bill of sale. ***

*** THERE IS A SLIDESHOW WITH MORE DETAILED PICS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS AUCTION ***

1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. Was originally Olympic White with a two tone black cloth over white leather interior. Car has the A/C, power front seat, and soft ray glass options. It also has factory power steering, power brakes, power door locks, power windows, and a remote driver side mirror. Completely loaded.

I have included pics of a 1962 Convertible and another with the black over white leather interior to show what this could could look like when restored. Gorgeous.

I believe the motor to be the original 390 but I do not know for sure. The plugs are pulled so there is probably some problem with it. You should plan on rebuilding it. The automatic transmission is in it, but the driveshaft is missing.

This car will need alot of body work. Both fenders, the hood, and the trunk lid all need to be replaced. The two fenders might could be patched and repaired but I would just plan on replacing them. There is also a dent in the passenger side rear quarter that will have to be repaired. The trunk weatherstrip channels have alot of rust so they will need to be cut out and replaced.

The front floor pans look good. The drivers side rear pan will need to be replaced. The passenger side rear looks ok. The trunk pan has some holes in it that will need to be patched.

The front bumper is fine except for a ding on the bottom passenger side shown in the pics. I think it can be hammered out. The rear bumper has been twisted and has some rust. I'm not sure if it can be repaired or not.

The driver side arm rest does come with the car. It had just fallen off. The rear fender skirts are missing.

All the glass is good except the two window vents and the front windshield.

The stainless on this car is almost perfect.

*** The car will come with a bill of sale ONLY. Alabama does not title cars 35+ years old.***

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.

2014 Cadillac ELR wears a suave suit with Volt underpants

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

The Cadillac design and engineering teams were smiling like a bunch of proud papas here in Detroit this morning, as the Wreath and Crest crew pulled the curtain back on their 2014 ELR. The house was packed for the ELR's coming out party, and reaction was enthusiastic amongst the murmuring media, as far as we could gather, while the flashes were firing.
In fact, we think that the sleek styling and aggressive proportions of the Voltec-powered ELR looked even better in the metal than they did in the first official images we saw earlier. Further, the leather-lined interior seems custom made for serious driving, even if the ELR is slightly less than rocket-ship quick.
The new Cadillac makes good use of the basic running gear from the Chevrolet Volt, including the 1.4-liter range-extending gas engine, a 15.6-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and an electric drive motor that offers 295 pound-feet of torque, and a total system output of 207 horsepower. All-electric range is down by just one mile versus its Chevrolet forebearer, for a total of 35, and Cadillac speculates that the total range with the gasoline generator figured in will top 300 miles.

President Trump might get to start his administration in a new Cadillac limo [UPDATE]

Fri, Jan 13 2017

(UPDATE: Jalopnik is reporting an unidentified source claimed the new limo would not be featured in today's inauguration ceremony. The source did say however that the limo would join the presidential fleet later this year.) A rumor is going around that President-Elect Donald Trump will have a brand new set of wheels the day he takes office. The Cadillac Presidential Limousine, nicknamed "The Beast," was last refreshed in 2009 and led President Barack Obama's second inauguration-day parade. Cadillac could not confirm any timeline for the new presidential limo, nor could it confirm any specifics about the car nicknamed Beast 2.0. That's as expected, because details on the presidential limo are closely guarded and considered matters of national security. The outgoing original "Beast" limo marked a switch to a custom-built vehicle based on a General Motors truck frame. Previous limos were based on the actual cars they looked like. As we've seen in spy shots, The Beast 2.0 limo looks more like an Escalade SUV or CT6 sedan but is reported to be roughly the same size and shape as the old Beast, which is built on a Chevrolet Kodiak/GMC TopKick medium-duty truck chassis. AutoWeek is reporting that the new limo is set to debut for Trump's inauguration, however those reports could not be confirmed for the reasons mentioned above. The new Presidential car is expected to accommodate seven passengers in conference-style seating in the back like the current version. The Beast isn't meant for road trips, as it is mostly used to ferry the President to and from Air Force One when traveling, or on short trips around Washington D.C. That's good, considering the current limo only gets 3.7 miles per gallon. Along with multiple screens for video conferencing, The next Beast will also definitely include advanced armoring and weaponry. For security reasons, it's impossible to know the extent of those systems, but any vehicle transporting the most powerful man in the world around has to be tough. The entire process of designing and building the Presidential limo is top secret, as the Secret Service figures the less everyone knows about the Presidential Limo, the better. The new Beast, we can safely assume, is likely the safest vehicle in the world. The Secret Service began taking bids on building a replacement in 2014 because integrating all of the required armor is technically challenging.
