CADILLAC LOVERS LOOK NO FURTHER--- HERE IS A GEM!!! Title in Hand! 1976 CADILLAC COUPE DEVILLE - 1 OWNER- 42K ACTUAL-
Up for auction is this very nice TOTALLY ORIGINAL 1976 CADILLAC COUPE DEVILLE w/ 42,250 Actual/Original MILES - One owner car (same family, went to trust after original owner died, but again been with the same family since new with proof)
The MOTOR: this car is equipped with the 8.2L V8 500CI Rear Wheel Drive that has ONLY 42,250 ORIGINAL MILES (not even broke inn yet) - and this car runs and drives like new, power is all there and the transmission shifts smooth! Everything about this car is totally ORIGINAL, nothing aftermarket or added later- the car starts up everytime and you can drive anywhere anytime! The ELECTRICAL is ALL GOOD ALSO- lights and signals work just fine as well as gages on dash!
The POWER OPTIONS: Power windows, power locks, power driver seat, tilt wheel, AC, glove box trunk release, powered trunk when closing, all of these Powered Options WORK and the powered trunk you never find working yet it does! AM-FM Cassette and radio (radio does work)
The INTERIOR: the white leather seats are rip, stain and tear free! The red/ crushed red colored carpet is almost new looking (no flaws), the Original Red Colored Floor mats are still in the car and house the Cadillac Symbol (see pics) they too are also like new condition! The Headliner is like new as well; its unreal how nice it is actually, no rips, tears, or stains in the headliner; it is nicely intact and shows no signs of age or sagging! the doors both have one medium sized slit/crack (see pic) but not bad at all- The Window seals are tight and have no leaking or issues to address. The dash board is amazing, looking like it did in 1976 when bought new! The glove box works and operates properly housing a trunk release button and the ORIGINAL PAPERWORK from when bought new. This car has been smoke free since day one (obvious) - the steering wheel looks mint still and literally has no signs of age or over use! Its hard to believe because of its original condition and age how NICE the interior actually is! But to see it is to believe it because its so very obvious- NO INTERIOR disappointments here at all!!
The EXTERIOR: Hard to complain about this cars exterior at all, very very few issues but im gonna share them with you all- This car is a head turner and stands very tall!!! Proud to be seen in it and everyone always compliments us as we cruise around Southern Indianapolis --- This Caddy has ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT and again its OBVIOUS-the car is straight as an arrow with no body damage at all to mention, NO RUST AT ALL however there are like 3 small surface spots (quarter size literally., see pics) the 3 spots I am referring to are on the drivers side right below the small back seat window, these spots are honestly small and not even noticed at all unless standing 3 foot away or closer; again see pics to be clear- these spots are very surface and easily fixed! Also on the drivers door half way down right above the chrome trim piece there is a few small scratches not to bad at all actually (see pics) The cars Antenna works like new and goes up and down at choice via a button inside (another power feature) the chrome base piece around the bottom of antenna is missing (been gone for years now)- Finally, the rear clip! The rear clips on these cars are notorious for this- kinda discolored because GM didn't use the same body material (rubber made and dry out) the reason GM did this was for safety purposes its rubber because its known as an impact area - its not real bad by any means but it is clear to see and the rear clip has some cracks in it (the rear clip is not part of the body, instead its a totally separate piece itself) (see pics)--- the rear light fixture is missing the left side chrome wrap, the right is there to see what im referring to. (see pics) the Original Hood Emblem is nicely intact and stands Cadillac Tall!!! Also the underbody and frame are nice; rust free and again always garage kept (this car was rustproofed when bought new, hint the level of exterior quality) the exhaust is solid and also rust free and showing no signs of issues at all- Nice exterior overall for sure!
Overall on a scale of 1 to 10 I personally rate this car a SOLID NINE (9) needs very little help to be showroom worthy! Hard to find a Cadillac today that is A- totally ORIGINAL B- been cared for by the same family its entire life (obviously well cared for, its shows to see) C- has Original Miles 42k D- needs ZERO interior work etc etc - I could keep going on and on about the level of quality here!

Mystery shoppers love Infiniti, hate Tesla
Tue, Jul 12 2016Infiniti, followed by Lexus tied with Mercedes-Benz took the top two spots for best sales experience according to mystery shoppers from the latest Pied Piper Prospect Satisfaction Index, while EV manufacturer Tesla recorded the lowest overall score. Not surprisingly, premium brands dominated the top ranks. Including the three already mentioned, luxury brands occupied seven of the top ten spots and included Audi, BMW, Porsche, and the only American brand to crack the upper echelon, Cadillac. Toyota, Volkswagen, and Nissan rounded out the first ten positions. The news for domestic automakers isn't good. Aside from Caddy, the only other star-spangled automaker to score above the industry average is Chrysler. The rest of FCA, most of GM, and all of Ford fell below the line. But Pied Piper's mystery shoppers handed Tesla the biggest walloping – the company is ten full points below the next lowest brand, Volvo, and its score of 86 is 17 below the average of 103. It's baffling, considering the company's touted direct-sales model. "Tesla leaves me scratching my head," Fred O'Hagan, Pied Piper's president and CEO, told Wards Auto. "They own all of their stores, so you would think each one would be doing the same thing. But they're not. Tesla is consistent in its inconsistencies." O'Hagan added that there's a "huge variation" in Tesla's store-to-store effectiveness, and that in some cases, shoppers found showroom workers that acted more like "museum curators," Wards Auto reports. It might be popular to call Tesla the Apple of the car world, but based on Pied Piper's work, the brand has a long way to go to emulate the uniform shopping experience of an Apple Store. The news might be bad for Tesla, but even for the brands that scored below average, there's cause for celebration. Only Tesla and Mini lost points in this year's rankings, and only Mercedes and Lincoln held steady. Every other brand, including Infiniti, which topped the index for the first time, gained at least one point. The biggest improvements belong to Porsche, Land Rover, and Mitsubishi, which all jumped five points. Pied Piper's annual Prospect Satisfaction Index uses mystery shoppers – over 6,100 this year – from across the country to assess dealers and generate rankings from over 50 individual factors.

Cadillac CT6 PHEV battery shape a big departure for GM's plug-in hybrid tech
Thu, Apr 23 2015Anyone with any familiarity with the electric powertrain details for the two General Motors plug-in hybrids will have noticed that the information we have about the newly announced Cadillac CT6 plug-in hybrid has a lot of numbers in common with the Chevy Volt and the Cadillac ELR, like the 18.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack and an expected all-electric range of 37 miles. We also noticed that the announcement calls the plug-in CT6 hybrid an actual plug-in hybrid and not an "extended range electric vehicle (EREV)," which is what GM calls the Volt and the ELR. This, of course, means we needed to ask GM some questions. Donny Nordlicht from Cadillac communications told AutoblogGreen that while the Volt and CT6 batteries are both 18.4-kWh, the shape is completely different. In the Volt/ELR, the battery is T-shaped (see it here). The CT6 has four seats, with a tunnel running between the two in the rear, as you can see here, but the battery in the CT6 PHEV is "a cube-shaped pack, which is between rear seats and the trunk," Nordlicht said. "There is no pass through." GM has not yet released any technical schematics about this pack, but Nordlicht said that, "The CT6's advanced mixed-material platform was designed to accommodate the PHEV system by design so that it minimally intrudes on the cabin space." It also means that the CT6 can be ordered as an optional PHEV, while the Volt and ELR were purpose-built plug-ins. GM is also distinguishing between the EREV and PHEV powertrains in its vehicles from this point forward. "We are not discarding the EREV language," Nordlicht said. "The CT6 utilizes a two-motor system mated to a 2.0T 4-cylinder engine, which is an all-new system to Cadillac." We assume that the PHEV packs will use li-ion cells from LG Chem, just like the EREVs do, but Nordlicht did not answer our question on that point. As for other details about the CT6 PHEV – like production, full dimension, and pricing – we will just have to wait until closer to when the vehicle launches for those. Related Video:
Cadillac ATS was almost front-wheel drive
Wed, 03 Apr 2013"We were going to do a front-wheel drive Cadillac compact off of Delta because it was going to be less expensive," Doug Parks, General Motors' vice president of global product programs, told the Automotive News during the Detroit Auto Show in January of this year. That sentence, referring to early ATS discussions more than five years ago - a period when the automaker, and the industry, was struggling - reveals that Cadillac's highly acclaimed rear-wheel drive compact sedan almost never happened.
Parks revealed that that automaker actually built a 2.0-liter test mule, on GM's Delta platform (shared with the Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Verano) and tested it in Europe. While the prototype was "pretty darn good," according to Parks, the team realized that in order to compete against Mercedes-Benz and BMW it would have to invest in a new rear-wheel drive platform.
The resulting all-new Alpha platform would eventually underpin the Cadillac ATS, and many would argue that its balanced rear-wheel drive chassis is its single most important attribute. Thankfully, the Alpha's goodness won't stop with the ATS. The upcoming 2014 Cadillac CTS and the future Camaro will also share its architecture, meaning the Cimarron will remain a distant memory.
