1991 Cadillac Deville Mechanics Special on 2040-cars
United States
|
You are bidding on a really nice shape 1991 Cadillac Deville with a leak from a crack in the engine block a real crying shame as the car is otherwise in very nice overall shape with very low mileage(less than 70,000 original ). The car was recently purchased from the original owner by myself in Florida for my son who lives in South Carolina. It was driven from Florida to South Carolina and then shortly the leak occurred. The mechanics who diagnosed the problem in South Carolina said it happened more than likely because the car sat so much over the years and apparently this can happen to these 4.9 engines because of that.The car runs and drives great other than the leak which is now getting worse now to the point it shouldn't be driven. Before taking it to my son I had a new headliner put in it (it was sagging due to Florida heat ) .replaced the trunk pull down motor ,replaced the fuel data module ,installed new speakers (4); my son is keeping the aftermarket stereo that is in the car and the original radio will go with the car .the tires are really good and it has no other leaks (fluid or exhaust ). Everything worked well on the car other than the power antenna ,the A/C had been serviced and blows cold the power windows and seats work as they should ,the cruise control worked great as well on the trip from Florida . The interior is in really nice shape with only the drivers seat needing the cover repaired (cracks/seams) and crack in drivers door panel. The car belong to a 90 yr old lady who had to quit driving .If you are mechanically inclined this would make a great car to fix , the engine we were told could possibly be repaired as the crack is only in a water jacket area and not getting into the engine internally to affect how the engine runs,but the engine would have to be removed and this is something my son is not able to do and the cost to do so in a shop is not really practical so he is buying another car instead. The car can be seen at my son's in Bluffton SC He can be reached at 843 304 1053 or 843 540 2332 his name is Todd.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.

Cadillac ATS-V Coupe caught undisguised ahead of LA reveal
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Vsport versions of the CTS and XTS sedans are all well and good, but what Cadillac enthusiasts have really been looking forward to is the arrival of the next full-on V model. And here we have it.
Spied in the nude during an apparent photo shoot ahead of its anticipated debut at the fast-approaching Los Angeles Auto Show, the upcoming new Cadillac ATS-V Coupe is set to pick up where the old CTS-V left off, only in a more compact form. Unlike previous spy shots of heavily disguised prototypes, this final version is showing a chrome-framed mesh grille, along with a deep lower air dam with what looks to be a carbon-fiber front splitter. That bulging hood with heat extractor vents is tipped to be packing a twin-turbo V6 engine, breathing out of quad exhaust tips.
The aggressive aero kit also encompasses side skirts, a reshaped rear bumper and a lip spoiler on the truck, while the upgraded rolling stock wears serious low-profile rubber and the brakes appear to be carbon-ceramic units. Peer through the window and you can even see the sport bucket seats with slots for racing harnesses. All of which suggests a serious American challenger to the BMW M4 and its ilk, and we're looking forward to seeing the vehicle in the metal in LA next month.
