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.

Jerry Seinfeld's successful online show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is heading into its ninth season, returning January 5th.

Seinfeld has lined up an equally impressive list of cars for the new season. Porsche, BMW, and Volvo all have beautiful machines lined up to shuttle Seinfeld and his guest to different coffee shops. As always, it's a mix of light humor packed into a relatively short and, most importantly, free video. Catch up on the previous eight seasons now on Crackle.

GM struggles to sell small cars, plans to lay off 2,084 employees at two plants

Thu, Nov 10 2016

Due to low demand for some of its vehicles, General Motors plans to cut 2,084 jobs at its assembly plants in Lordstown, OH and Lansing, MI. At the same time, the automaker also announced plans to invest approximately $900 million in three of its facilities – the Toledo Transmission Operations in Ohio, Bedford Casting Operations in Indiana, and Lansing Grand River in Michigan - for future products. GM will discontinue the third shift at both the Lansing Grand River plant and the Lordstown, OH plant. The Cadillac ATS, Cadillac CTS, and Chevrolet Camaro are made at the automaker's plant in Michigan, which currently has 2,700 employees. The move to eliminate the third shift affects 810 hourly workers, as well as 29 salaried employees, starting on January 16th. The plant in Lordstown, OH currently has 4,500 employees and makes the Chevrolet Cruze sedan. The plan to discontinue the third shift will affect 43 salaried workers and 1,202 hourly employees and will start on January 23rd. As Fortune points out, sales of the Cruze are down 20 percent through October, while sales of the Cadillac ATS and CTS were down 17 percent through the same period of time. In addition to cutting the third shift at both assembly plants, the automaker plans to invest a total of $900 million between three of its facilities for unnamed future products. GM's Toledo Transmission Operations will receive $667.6 million, the Lansing Grand River Assembly plant will receive $211 million, and the automaker's Bedford Casting Operations will get $37 million. Last year, GM cut roughly 500 jobs from its Orion Township factory due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, with surging crossover and SUV sales as the most likely culprit. With GM posting much healthier sales figures for the Chevrolet Equinox and Cadillac XT5 compared to the ATS, CTS, and Cruze, it looks like compact SUVs are to blame for this year's layoffs as well.
