1964 Cadillac series 62 convertible,

During my 6 years of ownership, a lot has been replaced and repaired, all with receipts. Now everything works (windows, top, 6 way seats, wipers, interior and exterior lights, turn signals, signal seeking radio, antenna) except for the factory A/C and the W/Squirters, neither of which is hooked up. There is NO heater.

Mechanically: This is my car’s strongest point. In terms of the 4 S’s, it starts , shifts , steers and stops dependably . This car is literally my driver so safety and reliability were non-negotiable. That’s where my $ went, that’s why I have confidence in my Cadillac. Every summer, I take several road trips of almost 200 miles each, but my car never overheats , doesn’t burn oil and is rock steady every time I hit 100 mph (I cruise at 75/80 mph)

Cosmetically: Although my car gets thumbs up and even stops traffic (everyone from kids to grandmas loves this Cadillac), it’s a driver with minor dings, faded spots, and scratches The chrome needs attention and there is very slight bubbling in the driver’s lower door, but no one notices at 10/10. Wet sanding had been “overlooked” following its last paint job. Thus the good news here is the potential to significantly improve the finish w/o the cost of a new paint job. And, yes, it does pass the magnet test.

The owner’s manual and the shop manual come with it, as does my file, of course.

What’s great here is this Cadillac is totally your call: a turn-key summer cruiser or an apt candidate for restoration.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward'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.

2016 Cadillac ATS-V brandishes 450 horses and 6-speed manual

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

Details about the hotly anticipated 2016 Cadillac ATS-V are tumbling out, and they look to be everything we could ask for in a high-performance Caddy coupe.
According to Road & Track, the ATS-V will use a version of the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 from the CTS Vsport, but the wick will be turned up to 450 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. In glorious news for driving enthusiasts everywhere, that potent mill will be available with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic.
According to R&T, the engine has a heap of high-performance tech to let it make the extra ponies, including titanium connecting rods, two water-to-air intercoolers, titanium turbines for the turbos and an additional radiator dedicated to cooling the gearbox and electronically locking differential. Keeping it all planted are a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, and a suspension with 50 percent more roll stiffness.
