 Hello and Thank You for viewing my auction.  Up for bids is a 1969 Convertible Cadillac.  I purchased this vehicle to restore and when it arrived it was completely misrepresented and I am listing it here as a parts car.   I do however have a title(1 owner).  He filled in my information under the buyer section so if anyone is planning on fixing this car and would like a title there will be a $100.00 additional fee added to tthe highest bid so I can go and pay the taxes and get a title in my name that I could then transfer to you.   Here is some interesting history on the vehicle.  It was purchased new in Michigan and kept in the same family it's entire life.  I have the original "cancelled" title for this vehicle and the current "2007" title for this vehicle.   In 2007 the parents sold the vehicle to their son.   This was a beautiful vehicle...a long time ago!  A rare yellow with white top and white interior and a fully loaded car.   I have the original bill of sale and a bunch of other paperwork for the vehicle that is yours if you want it as well.  Now lets get to the vehicle...   The interior is completely stripped  other than a few wire harnesses and the steering column and some other behind the dash components.   The floor pan was actually in decent condition with exception of underneath the rear seat where the water would puddle from the convertible top leaks.  The front windshield still looks good.  The convertible top frame was working perfectly until this morning when someone came over and purchased the convertible top pump.  The header panel of the frame has some rust.  These frames are worth a fortune especially a complete one like this(only missing the pump).  People shorten,lengthen,widen and customize the frames to use on their custom chop top cars.  Other than the hood and the trunk which are decent...the rest of the body is bad.  Doors and rocker panels and lower front fenders(near doors) are actually not too bad.  The rear quarters are bad.  The frame is junk...has some spots rotting out.   The car still starts and moves and stops and steers(complimentary pair of vice grips for a steering wheel).   I did not want to sell off any of the drivetrain parts because I wanted to keep it running because this is the real value in this vehicle for someone looking for a hotrod,ratrod or custom drivetrain with power!   Under the hood the items that are missing are the wiper motor assembly the horns,cruise control,air cleaner assembly,valve cover breather,coolant overflow bottle.  Underneath the car the only thing gone is the fuel tank.  There are no keys and I have it starting on the steering column or with 2 wires from starter.  There is a small gas can to get it running to get it on a truck or trailer.  The front seat is the spare tire and another tire for the backrest.  The car only had 97,000 original miles and the engine sounds very healthy and was really taken care of.    This pretty much sums it all up.  You get a complete running 472 motor with transmission and rear end and all the brakes and hardware and all the suspension and so forth.  You get a convertible top frame you can sell.  A windshield you can sell.  You get a few other parts you can take off to sell and when your done you can scrap the big heavy beast for a bunch of money!   If you are planning on restoring it...hopefully you have a complete 69 or 70 2 door hard top sitting around that you could build a convertible out of...and you will also need a lot of money and a lot of patience!  If you are looking to have an excuse to get out of the house to get away from your wife....this is the project for you.   If you are looking to get divorced....this project may do this as well:)    If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask.   One question I get all the time is "will this car make it to my house in wherever?"...well we know the answer to that one with this car.....  :)  I guess it could be possible and you would probably become famous or in jail for a long time....  It would be all daylight driving...an umbrella...many gas cans...a lot of bungee cords and duct tape and ???   I will consider BUY IT NOW prices too.  Happy Bidding!!

Cadillac to move select offices from Detroit to Manhattan?

Fri, 22 Aug 2014

Under Johan de Nysschen, Infiniti moved its headquarters from Yokohama, Japan, to Hong Kong. Now at Cadillac, it appears the company's new president could be planning a relocation of at least some of the brand's operations from Detroit to Manhattan, according to a new report from Reuters.
In the case of Infiniti, de Nysschen pushed for the move because moving away from the brand's Nissan overlords would allow it a bit more freedom. It's evidently a similar case for Cadillac, with Reuters speculating that such a move would help distance the brand from the corporate culture in Detroit. A Big Apple move could also attract new talent that may have considered a job with the brand but were put off by the idea of living in Detroit.
It's important to note that if such a move takes place, it likely won't affect the folks actually responsible for developing the brand's vehicles. Instead, administrative functions, including marketing, could be the focus of the relocation.

GM to add 1,200 workers at 2 Michigan factories

Sat, Feb 29 2020

DETROIT — General Motors is adding 1,200 jobs at two Michigan factories to build midsize SUVs and two new luxury sedans. GM said Friday that its Lansing Delta Township plant will get a third shift and 800 more workers to build the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave SUVs, which have three rows of seats. The Lansing Grand River plant will get a second shift and 400 more workers to build two new Cadillac sedans, the CT4 and CT5. Employees laid off at other GM factories will fill the new jobs first, then workers will be added, GM spokesman Dan Flores said. The company has not determined yet how many new people will be needed, he said. Both additional shifts will start working sometime between April and June, the company said. Lansing Delta Township now employs about 2,500 salaried and blue-collar workers, while the Grand River plant has 1,400. GM sold more than 147,000 Traverse SUVs in the U.S. last year, a 0.4% increase from 2018. Enclave sales were up 3% to just over 51,000, according to Autodata Corp. Related Video:

GM to build $1.3 billion Cadillac plant in China

Wed, 08 May 2013

General Motors has gotten approval to build a $1.3 billion manufacturing facility for its Cadillac brand in China. China's National Development and Reform Commission signed off on plans for GM to build the plant in the country's Shanghai's Jinqiao zone; construction is expected to begin in June of this year. According to a Bloomberg report, the plant will have an annual production capacity of 150,000 units.
No surprise here, but Cadillac would like to sell a lot more cars in the plush Chinese luxury market. The brand moved only 30,010 cars in China last year, compared with 400k for Audi, and about 330k for BMW. With Cadillac already telling us that it would be moving production of its XTS sedan to China - a production decision that saves having to pay 25-percent import tariffs - approval of the factory is a critical win for the company.
In fact, according to earlier comments by GM China president Bob Socia, it's at least conceivable that Chinese-built Cadillacs could be shipped back to the US for sale. The brave new world of globalization, getting stranger by the minute.
