1968 Cadillac Deville Convertible California Car Rust Free Beautiful Condition on 2040-cars
|
This is a beautiful Cadillac convertible that has spent the great majority of its life in southern California. I can not find any rust on the car from pulling the carpet up or inspecting it from underneath. I purchased it and shipped it to the northwest, where it has been garaged and pampered every day since. The vehicle has a clean and clear title in my name. In the past 25 years the car has had two owners including myself.
In the last year, the car has new paint, a new top, new hydraulics, new weatherstripping (all of it, not just a couple pieces), new tires (2013), new brakes, new radio and speakers (radio not yet installed as of now), and plenty more items. I have a box of receipts. Mechanically, the car is excellent. The engine fires up quickly and runs smooth. The transmission shifts just like it should and has recently been serviced with a new filter and fluid. It drives very solidly going down the road. The alignment, suspension, brakes and steering all feel just as they should. I would trust this car to go on a road trip. The interior was reupholstered some time ago, although I dont know how long. it looks very good with no rips in the seats. The top is a quality vinyl replacement, and the hydraulics were also replaced at the time. it moves up and down nicely. The underside of the car is very ncie in appearance, no rust or excessive grime. It's certainly not frame off restored nice, but you can tell it hasnt seen rain. The paint is new as of early 2014 and it looks great. its been cut and buffed and you cant go far down the road without getting a thumbs up or "nice car!" The door jambs, under the trunk and the sides of the hood and fenders were painted at the same time. The sheet metal on this car is very straight. This was not a cheap paint job to get the car out the door. I have pictures of before the car was painted to show that it is not hiding anything scary under there. It has been thoroughly cut and buffed. All 4 power windows work, heater works, AC needs a recharge (pump kicks on but it doesnt get cool) and the power seat is finicky I have a brand new original style stereo that does FM and ipod input and fits in exactly like the original and looks original but as of now it is still in the box along with 4 name brand speakers. There is likely more I am forgetting but the bottom line is it is a beautiful car that runs and drives very nice with new paint, top and much more. I have invested much into this car and I am very confident that it will give someone many years of service. Feel free to ask questions |

2016 Cadillac ATS-V brandishes 450 horses and 6-speed manual
Tue, 11 Nov 2014Details about the hotly anticipated 2016 Cadillac ATS-V are tumbling out, and they look to be everything we could ask for in a high-performance Caddy coupe.
According to Road & Track, the ATS-V will use a version of the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 from the CTS Vsport, but the wick will be turned up to 450 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. In glorious news for driving enthusiasts everywhere, that potent mill will be available with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic.
According to R&T, the engine has a heap of high-performance tech to let it make the extra ponies, including titanium connecting rods, two water-to-air intercoolers, titanium turbines for the turbos and an additional radiator dedicated to cooling the gearbox and electronically locking differential. Keeping it all planted are a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, and a suspension with 50 percent more roll stiffness.
Electric Cadillac Lyriq, Chevy Bolt EUV and more GM electric cars are on the way
Wed, Mar 4 2020GM’s murky and somewhat secretive electric car plan is falling into place, as the company dumped a massive amount of information about whatÂ’s in the pipeline at an event at its Warren, Michigan campus today. New EVs are going to be popping up across the GM brand lineup, with new entries from Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick in progress. We also learned some big news about GMÂ’s new Ultium battery tech today, but check out this story for all of those nitty-gritty details. The electric vehicle onslaught will begin with the Cadillac Lyriq, an electric SUV thatÂ’s already been teased out. Naming it the Lyriq is the news today. No explanation for the name was provided, so weÂ’ll have to wait for April to learn more. GM didnÂ’t specifically say if the Lyriq would be launched at the NY Auto Show, but that show (assuming coronavirus doesnÂ’t cancel it) will begin on April 8 this year. Next up in the order of events is the GMC Hummer electric truck that we know will be launching on May 20. This truck will use GMÂ’s modular Ultium battery technology. However, the wait to buy a GMC Hummer will be a long one, as the truck isnÂ’t going to dive into production until fall 2021 at GMÂ’s Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM revealed that its new modular Ultium batteries can be configured anywhere from a 50 kWh pack to a 200 kWh pack depending on the application. Range is estimated to be about 400 miles on the upper end with the largest battery pack, and GM continues to boast about a 0-60 mph acceleration time of three seconds. Charging estimates for the Ultium battery-equipped Hummer EV were also provided. GM says its truck platform will have 800-volt battery packs and be capable of 350 kW fast-charging. Time estimates werenÂ’t given, but those numbers suggest the truck will be a rapid charger. The Hummer truck on hand, which was the same that previously starred in GMC's Super Bowl spot, showed off removable roof panels that store in the frunk, as well as what appeared to be a version of GMC's Multi-Pro tailgate. It also featured sail panels on the sides, similar to those in front of the bed of the Chevy Avalanche. In addition to the Hummer, expect to see a couple Chevys launching. GM says the refreshed Bolt EV will be launched “in late 2020” with a refreshed interior and what appear to be thicker front seats.
