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.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic

Mon, Oct 24 2016

Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Cadillac issues stop-sale on recalled CTS, SRX

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

General Motors has issued a stop-sale order on the Cadillac CTS and SRX, both of which were recalled late last month. Why the stop-sale after all this time? Well, um, GM apparently doesn't know how to fix them.
The stop-sale covers all used Cadillac CTS sedans, coupes and wagons from model years 2003 to 2013, as well as new 2014 coupes and wagons. The SRX crossover stop-sale, meanwhile, only covers used vehicles from model years 2004 to 2006.
Automotive News reached out to GM spokesperson Alan Adler, who told the news pub that the company's engineers were "looking at one common solution" for the affected vehicles, although "they don't have it yet."

Off-road Cadillac Escalade adds some extra bush country capability

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

So, you're a dyed-in-the-wool General Motors fan, but like the notion of a machine like the Hennessey Velociraptor. We have good news for you. Behold the Aria Coachworks XPLORE Cadillac Escalade. For a modest fee, Aria will outfit your Escalade with a custom suspension, BF Goodrich all-terrain tires wrapped around aluminum wheels, a Warn winch and a special exhaust. There's even a snorkel option for those of you with aspirations toward deep water crossings. Consider yourself warned, however: unlike other GMT900 SUVs, the Cadillac only has an all-wheel drive system, not the more rugged four-wheel drive setup of the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon). Outside, the luxury SUV gets matte paint, black chrome trim, XPLORE power running boards and a roof rack system.
The interior also receives a few fun changes as well, but we're more interested in the fact that buyers can snag a power roof top tent. You know, in case you need to camp out at Best Buy for the PS4. There's also a matching camp trailer and, our personal favorite, a matching BMW GS motorcycle. Bikes not your bag of tricks? That's fine. Aria will also sell you a matched Airstream trailer or Old Town wooden canoes. As much as we want to hate this, we love the notion of bashing through the woods in a $100,000 Cadillac battlewagon with our GS in tow. Check the press release below for more information.
