1965 Cadillac Convertible Great Original Survivor Car on 2040-cars
Newburyport, Massachusetts, United States
|
This is a very original
and clean 1965 Cadillac Convertible. The car originally was from Portland OR. I bought the car 13 years ago
in and had it shipped to Massachusetts. This Cadillac had one proud owner from 1965
to 2000 and has been garage kept since new. In late 2000 the car was sold by the
original owners grandson to a family friend, who sold it to me in April of
2001. I am the third owner. I had it shipped to Mass. In the spring of
2001 where I've driven it only on nice warm days and have kept it in a garage
always. I was attracted to it’s all original
straight condition. The car has never had rust or rot.
This car
runs smooth, quite and strong, really a pleasure to drive if you can afford the
gas!
CHROME and TRIM: The chrome is in overall very
good condition. The bumper front center portion has one bad spot,. The center
portion is a separate piece and can be switched out. The rest of the front
bumper is very very nice. The rear
bumper is overall good but aging. The stainless and chrome trim everywhere on
the car is excellent. INTERIOR: The interior is all original. The
dash is really nice. The molded plastic bottom dash and door panels are
yellowed. The carpet is faded, but nice shape otherwise. The rear seat cover is
nice, and the front seat cover, driver’s area is split at the seams. The door
panels and rear side panels are great. I had a couple upholstery guys
look at the interior and it can be repaired rather than replaced (if wanted).
For example the original carpet can be dyed, the rear seat dyed, the front seat
insert replaced or repaired (Jenkins has the correct Aztec emboss/perforated
leather), the hard plastic re-sprayed. This would freshen the interior to new
without ripping out and destroying the originality of the car. In the glove box
are the original books, owners manual, accessory guide, top guide. TRUNK: In the trunk is one of the
original tires, the boot in the original canvas boot bag, and the wood tire
block for changing the tire. Mileage is 99,000 plus....not 100 yet! I think
it's originality is great...and they are only original ONCE! The FINE PRINT If you are lucky and win this auction, a $500.00 deposit will be required within 48 hours, the balance due within 7 business days. Buyer is responsible for pick-up or shipping of this vehicle. I DO NOT Accept PAY PAL. And…please do not bid if you do not have the funds to complete the transaction….Thanks for your understanding and good luck!

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected
Tue, 20 May 2014General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years
GM laying off 510 amidst slow Cadillac, small car sales
Wed, 12 Nov 2014General Motors is laying off about 510 workers from two factories beginning in January, and it could be months before the automaker needs some of that latent capacity to come back on line. A combination of poor sales and high dealer inventories are prompting the cutbacks, according to Automotive News.
The largest changes come at GM's Lansing Grand River plant, where the Cadillac ATS and CTS are made. An entire shift of about 350 workers is being laid off, but the automaker hopes to find positions for some of them at other nearby factories. The decision leaves just a single shift building vehicles there. According to Automotive News, the move is partially spurred by Johan de Nysschen's plan to make Cadillac a more exclusive brand.
The lost shift will likely return for production of the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro at the plant, according to the report, but GM isn't saying when that will be. A previous announcement from the Canadian Auto Workers union indicated that the Oshawa, Ontario, factory would lose the coupe in late 2015 or early 2016.
Combine a self-driving car with V2V, and here's what happens
Sat, Dec 12 2015Transportation engineers have started laying the groundwork for a traffic world in which cars communicate with other cars and infrastructure like bridges and traffic lights. How about an environment in which cars talk to pretty much everything and everyone? In a preview of its offerings at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show, Delphi Automotive will deploy just such a concept. Engineers have designed a system that communicates with traffic signals, street signs, pedestrians, cyclists, even to fry pits and parking garages along a driver's route. To date, engineers and researchers across the auto industry have focused on the technical and safety-oriented foundation of future vehicle-to-vehicle communications, which could help cars share information about everything from traffic tie-ups to upcoming road hazards. Beyond those building blocks, many have projected that V2V could also include more consumer-focused features. Delphi's system, dubbed V2Everything, might be the first that combines those sorts of features in a tangible package. At CES in Las Vegas, scheduled to begin the first week of January, company officials say they'll demonstrate in real-world conditions how V2V technology can be used in an autonomous vehicle to provide a range of critical safety information and leisure and convenience options for riders. The first V2V technology installed on a production car is slated to appear on the 2017 Cadillac CTS. "We imagine a world with zero traffic accidents," said Jeff Owens, Delphi's chief technology officer. "To get there, we will need a convergence of active safety, sensor fusion, connectivity platforms and advanced software." Such software might allow a vehicle to start searching for and reserving parking spots at a programmed destination long before arriving. It could allow riders to place their McDonald's drive-through order from the road and have the food ready for pickup along the route. For the drive itself, the Delphi-equipped car can stay updated on the status of traffic lights around Las Vegas, and can anticipate yellow and red lights. Using smart-phone technology, the car can detect pedestrians and cyclists that may otherwise be hard to see. It can send messages to friends or family to notify them of a driver's location. Some of those features have been available on third-party apps or individually developed by automakers. But this system marries them together in a single system that is tailored for use in self-driving cars.
