As far as I am concerned, the 1966 Deville is one of the most beautiful cars ever produced.  If you have never really taken a good look at the dashboard and instrumentation of the 1966 Deville I urge you to do so, and take some time with it.  The materials used are of the highest quality and the design is such a spectacular combination of vintage bezeled gauges, brushed stainless and clean lines that the first time I saw it I really thought it was a custom treatment.  Just ponder the passenger side of the dashboard and tell me that it doesn't look as modern as anything on the road, but without a pesky airbag to fill up that incredible concave sweep into the meeting of the dash and door edge.  It is clear how someone back in 1966 would feel limitless pride at driving one of these beauties off the dealer lot and calling it their own.  

It was love at first sight for me, and I told myself I would never be without a 1966 Deville (coupe or sedan) in my collection.  This beautiful silver coupe Deville with 86,250 miles is one of two that I currently own.  I've included photos of the itemized repairs performed by the previous owner just before I purchased the car.  It was a very thorough going over and totalled about $3400, which included brakes from pedal to wheel, alternator, belts, carb rebuild, gas tank sealed and recoated inside, new distributor, thermostat, tune up, bulbs, ignition wires, new ball joints, undercoating and transmission service.   I have also made my own improvements.  I purchased four new whitewall tires, had an electronic ignition conversion professionally installed and replaced the power antenna.  Documentation on other work performed much earlier in the car's history is also included.  The plastic seat covers were added on September 9, 1978 and are a kitchy addition to the car's charm.  I considered removing them, but they are in such nice shape it seemed a shame to do so.  And you'll never worry about getting anything on the seats, because it just wipes off!   

I have put about 1,200 miles on the car during my ownership and it has been a joy to drive and proof why Cadillac was once the gold standard of the automotive world.  I have my Deville advertised elsewhere as well, so that I may end this listing early if an acceptable offer of purchase or trade is made.  I am a big fan of late '60's and early '70's Mopar products as well.  Thank you for your interest.

Cadillac considering more engines, Vsport model for Escalade

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Want to roll in the latest Cadillac Escalade? You can get it with a 6.2-liter V8... or a 6.2-liter V8. Cadillac only offers the one engine option. But that may soon change.
According to the latest from Automotive News, Cadillac is contemplating a couple of new powertrain options for its blingin' big ute. The report suggests a twin-turbo V6 and a V6 turbodiesel could be offered, and that Cadillac could create a Vsport version of the Escalade like it offers on the new CTS sedan.
The more diverse engine offerings would help attract buyers from the new Lincoln Navigator, its prime competitor, which switched from a 5.4-liter V8 this year to a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6. The turbo V6 engines (both gasoline and diesel) would also help Cadillac market the Escalade overseas - particularly in Europe, where higher fuel prices preclude the prospect of driving a big V8 SUV for many buyers. Escalade sales have dropped from 35-40k units in the mid-2000s to around 12,000 the past couple of years.

2015 Cadillac Escalade gets 8-speed auto, range-topping Platinum Collection trim

Mon, 11 Aug 2014

The redesigned 2015 Cadillac Escalade is still quite fresh on the market, but the luxury brand has a host of mid-model-year updates for its massive luxury SUV that should make it an even better driver. The range-topping Platinum Collection (pictured above) is also all set to ensconce drivers in leather when it hits the road in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The entire Escalade range now gets an eight-speed automatic to replace the previous six-speed, and four-wheel drive models also get a two-speed transfer case to go along with it. New standard features include a Surround View camera system, 4G LTE connectivity, and the electric tailgate also now closes hands-free, in addition to opening that way.
To make riding in the Escalade an even more luxurious experience, Cadillac is adding a Platinum trim. Exterior changes add even more shine to the behemoth SUV with a grille wearing the redesigned brand crest, additional chrome trim, 22-inch wheels and Platinum badges. However, the interior is where things really get plush. The first and second row of seats are wrapped in Nappa, semi-aniline leather in a choice of either beige or gray. The dashboard, upper door panels and center console also get hand-stitched and wrapped leather, plus a suede microfiber headliner. Both front seats are heated and cooled with 18-way power adjustments, and the driver even gets a massaging function. Rear passengers are hardly left out, either, with 7-inch LCD screens in the headrests and a 9-inch screen in the center.

Cadillac Elmiraj Concept slinks in Leno's Garage

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Jay Leno's Garage has moved to Pebble Beach for the week. This time around, the affable comedian is taking a look at the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept that debuted during the Monterey car week, and is talking to General Motors vice president of global design, Ed Welburn.
There's plenty of reminiscing about what concept cars were like when these two were kids, before a fairly deep dive into the striking Elmiraj Concept itself. Welburn shares a few anecdotes about the design process behind the two-door concept, including how his designers changed his mind on the grille design.
After bringing up the Cimarron, Leno makes a solid point that the Elmiraj would be a solid production car that could even spawn a four-door variant. We couldn't agree more. Take a look below for the full video from Jay Leno's Garage.
