1939 Cadillac Series 60 Fleetwood 4-door Sedan 85,740 Original Miles Survivor ! on 2040-cars
Wind Gap, Pennsylvania, United States
CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741. Up for sale and your consideration is a beautiful classic 1939 Cadillac Series 60 Fleetwood four door sedan with only 85,740 original miles. This car was garage kept it's entire life. This is a turn key and drive car that runs, drives and stops great, and can be enjoyed immediately on the day of purchase. This is a rare find since it is in outstanding condition and is a very well cared for true survivor. Please take the time to look over all 24 photos that I have listed here on the auction. I have many more photos available should any prospective buyer want them. Just call and ask for them. If any prospective buyer has any questions on this car I encourage and welcome the opportunity to show this car in person by appointment. I have in hand a clean title for this car showing actual mileage. I also have the original owner manual and a reproduction shop manual for this specific car.
BODY : The outer body is rust free. I'm not a body man, but I was told by two different body shop owners that they believe that this car still retains it's original paint. There is one small rust spot inside the left front fender. It is not part of the fender and appears to be an inner fender panel. The right side has been repaired. All glass is perfect. Trunk and doors lock with the original key. Chrome and trim is in amazing condition for the year. UNDERSIDE: As you can see in the photos the underside has only surface rust on the original floor pan front to rear. This is unheard of for a northeast vehicle. Underside viewing shows new brakes, new brake lines, new rear shocks, new king pins, new tie rod ends along with some new front suspension parts. The gas tank was removed and restored with the Renu restoration process. A new sending unit was installed. The gas tank is coated inside and out so the gasoline never touches the metal again. The interior is very nice original The left rear carpet has one area near the door that shows age. The woodgrain on the dash and window moldings is excellent. The steering wheel and all plastic knobs are excellent original. Headliner has no rips. The velvet autorobe blanket you see hanging on the passenger assist rope is an original with the original manufactures tag on it. It reads Artfur Auto Robes. It was manufactured by Shelton Looms. The seats appear to have been covered by material much stronger than the original cloth, but since seat covers were a factory option for an additional whopping $8.25 per seat, they may be original. A well versed Cadillac expert could probably answer this question. Windows roll up and down effortlessly. The gas gauge, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, ammeter gauge and speedometer gauge all work fine. DRIVETRAIN: Drivetrain is all original with low miles. Car is equipped with the 346 cubic inch "L" head V8 with hydraulic lifters. Engine is topped with a Stromberg AAV-26 carburetor that works great. A new fuel pump has also been installed. It is backed by a three speed selective synchro transmission that transfers the power to the 3:92 ratio differential. The car has just been tuned up and serviced with a fresh oil change, new spark plugs, and chassis lubrication. The transmission oil and rear differential oil was also just checked. ELECTRICS: Parking lights, high and low beam headlights, dash and glove box lights are all working. Interior light has power to the pillar mounted switch, but doesn't work. Working fog lights are a factory option and are connected to the headlight switch. The cost was $14.50 per light for this factory option. The under dash switch is marked 'fog lights' and illuminates when activated. Car has two horns. One is factory unit working fine that is activated by the horn ring on steering wheel. The other is a three trumpet musical opera horn activated by a toggle switch. It is unique and has it's own sound. The heater works fine. The wipers work great operating fast and smooth. The factory radio comes on but doesn't pull in any stations. You can hear scratching in the speaker when you move the volume knob. The radio was a $69.50 option and the heater was a $31.50 option. OPERATION: Since the fuel system was renewed with a restored gas tank new sender and lines and new fuel pump, along with a rebuilt front suspension and braking system, and all operational electrics, this classic Caddy is a dream to drive and gets thumbs ups wherever you drive it. The 16" Gangster wide whites have excellent tread. This will make an excellent enjoyable addition to any collection. The original condition and patina would be appreciated by any real car person. You can find rows of restored trailer queens at any car show, but try to find an original 1939 anything in this condition ! TERMS OF SALE: Please check my 100% positive feedback and buy with confidence. This car has been described honestly and to the best of my knowledge. It is literally impossible to know every tiny aspect of a 75 year old car so my description is based solely on a complete and thorough physical inspection, servicing of the car and driving the car. If any prospective buyer has any questions whatsoever as to the integrity and condition of this car then I would welcome and encourage an in person viewing of this Cadillac by appointment. That way all prospective buyers questions can be answered. This car is being stored in a secure heated garage. This 1939 Cadillac is sold in AS-IS condition with no actual, expressed or implied warranty or guarantee of any kind. The day you buy it is the day it becomes your car. No refunds or rebates.

An ebay required non refundable $300.00 paypal deposit will be paid by the winning buyer using either the buy it now option or winning buyer at the end of the auction. Shipping of the car will be the financial responsibility of the buyer. I will be happy to recommend previously used shippers.

Again to be crystal clear if any prospective buyer has any questions as to the integrity or condition of this 1939 Cadillac then I welcome and encourage the opportunity to show this car in person by appointment.

Recharge Wrap-up: LA Auto Show may feature updated Cadillac ELR, Uber expands Chicago HQ
Tue, Sep 30 2014A Kentucky man has converted his 1939 Dodge pickup to an electric vehicle. Al Gajda of Lexington built the electric truck, which he now uses as his daily driver. "I take advantage of any excuse to drive it; just banging around town, errands, short runs on the interstate, delivering my granddaughter to school in the morning," he says. It is powered by a lithium-ion phosphate battery, which is mounted in a wooden box on the truck bed, and gets about 100 miles per charge. Read more at the Lexington Herald-Leader.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
Cadillac still planning for big things in China
Sat, 20 Apr 2013Despite some hiccups, China remains the auto industry's great hope for new vehicle sales, with significant sales gains and a huge upside. Nowhere is that hope more fervent than at General Motors, which offers eight different marques in the Asian nation. China has been GM's single biggest market the last three years running, and is unlikely to give up that title anytime soon. Yet its premiere brand, Cadillac, has remained essentially stagnant, selling just 30,000 units in China last year. That's in a segment where sales of luxury vehicles has outpaced that of the larger Chinese market. So what gives?
According to Cadillac officials Autoblog spoke with in China this week at the Shanghai Motor Show, it's been a problem of product - they haven't had the right ones. Displacement taxation issues, import tariffs and currency fluctuations have all conspired to make the brand's products less appealing than they might otherwise have been. But GM is stepping on the gas with Cadillac, and executives are eyeballing 100,000 sales by 2016 - more than triple the Wreath and Crest's current volume. And the expectations for the brand only get more ambitious from there - they're shooting for 10 percent of the luxury market by 2020. Bob Socia, President of GM China, promises that there will be a new Caddy launched in the market each year from now through 2016 and most will be built in China. Characterizing the company's efforts to revive the brand's fortunes as a "relaunch" of sorts, Cadillac also figures to gain dealers as GM expands its sales outlet footprint westward.
New products like a made-in-China XTS sedan (with a market-specific 2.0-liter four-cylinder to avoid heavy displacement taxes) will help, and Socia hinted that the ATS sport sedan could be next in line for in-country production. The SRX crossover - currently the brand's best-selling model in China - will also likely get a long look for future local production when the next-generation model is introduced. In the meantime, Cadillac unveiled the Escalade ESV Hybrid (shown above) as its latest model addition to capitalize on the market's white-hot luxury SUV segment.
