Thank you for your consideration in viewing this beautiful 1947 Cadillac Fleetwood. 

This car is a reminder of a more special time in the US auto industry.  The Cadillac was one of the Quintessential cars of it's day.  It was owned by everyone from politicians to movie stars. To the American public Cadillac remained a symbol of prestige, success, luxury, and good taste.  

As you will see from the pictures, the car shows extremely well, but by no means is this a 100 point car.  I acquired the car in 2006 from my neighbor who had himself owned the car since 1991, in which he purchased the car from Reno, NV.  Since my ownership I had all the chrome replated. I also purchased 5 new triple plate chrome sombrero wheel covers and center medallions. The car has the correct Firestone Bias ply 700-15 and correct wide whites.  This is an all matching numbers car. 

Under the hood you will find an exceptionally clean 346 Flathead offers 150 hp. The car always starts right up and runs strong with no smoking issues.  The same engine that Cadillac believed in so much that it had a 12 year run from 1936-1948.  In addition, Cadillac helped in the war effort by supplying our military with this same engine in the M5 Stuart and the Sherman tank. I ran this car through this 4th of July parade and it ran perfect without any overheating issues in 90 degree temperature.  I also just recently took the car on a 300 mile round trip and it ran flawlessly.  Odometer shows 108,353.

The interior of the car is in excellent condition other than a slight faded spot in the upper drivers seat.  The head liner was replaced by the prior owner with the correct material. The oriental di-noc wood is amazing.  This Fleetwood has beautiful body lines and chrome appointments that the standard 4-door series 62 did not offer. From the fold down rear foot rest, extended rear seating quarters, chrome garnishes around inner windows, and outside the five upper quarter rear luvers.  All glass is in great condition with no separation, discoloration,  or cracks.  

There are just a few scratches in the paint that I did not touch up.  Trunk has some freckling in paint. There is also a chip in front head light ring, roof has 1 in. slight dent, (barely noticeable), top of steering wheel and brake handle has some cracking (also barely noticeable), radio only works sometimes, blinkers do not work, clock does not work, speed odometer is inaccurate by 10 mph, wipers do not work, all other gauges work fine, spot lights work, heater works, horn works, and interior light works. The under carriage is very clean and shows no rust (with the exception of the bottom of the spare tire wheel well).   

Last year I had front and back brakes completely redone including brake lines, master cylinder, and wheel cylinders.  2010 the carburetor, fuel pump, generator, starter, water pump were all rebuilt (even though some of those did not need to be rebuilt). Recently, front end had work done as well.   Door seal plates are in excellent condition. Trunk material has all been redone.  This car is an increasingly rare sight, so don't miss this opportunity to own this work of art.   

I am a private owner that is starting to thin down my collection and feel that I have described this car as honestly and accurately as possible. I will be happy to give you a full walk around the car and give you a more detailed description and/or answer any questions you may have. Will provide additional pictures if requested.  A $1,000 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction's close.  The winning bidder is required to contact Seller within 24 hours after the close of the auction to finalize the details of the transaction. 

 I also reserve the right to end the auction at any time.  This vehicle is sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. Buyer is responsible for pick up and/or all shipping fees. Please come and see the car for yourself or send your inspector. Bid with confidence. Feel free to call me with any questions or concerns.                            707-704-8223 Mike

Jeep Twitter account hacked, bad language, poor grammar and some hilarity ensue

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Just a day after Burger King's Twitter account was compromised by "unauthorized users," Jeep's social media feed has been similarly hacked. Both instances of digital incursion share some similarities - the BK hackers changed the company's logo for McDonald's familiar golden arches, saying a sale had occurred, while the Jeep miscreants have replaced Jeep's branding with that of General Motors property Cadillac.
The resulting tweets from the damaged Jeep account have been a pretty brutal, to put it bluntly. Most of the content coming from the hacked account is unpublishable here, using language that is peppered with racial epithets, and poorly worded "shout outs."
In addition to the defamatory tweets themselves, the hackers have significantly altered the layout of the page. Jeep's header image now features a picture of the Cadillac ATS to go along with the Wreath and Crest, some language calling out that car as winning the 2013 North American Car of the Year award, and this gem: "The official Twitter handle for the Jeep(R) - Just Empty Every Pocket, Sold To Cadillac =[" Also, perhaps in an ode to yesterday's Burger King heist, the background image for the page now features a McDonald's-themed donk. The devil's in the details, we guess.

Ford C-Max Commercial Brings Cadillac 'Poolside' Ad Down To Earth

Thu, Mar 27 2014

If we had tried to predict the first video response to the controversial Poolside video for the Cadillac ELR, we would not have thought it would center on compost. But, hey, it's always nice to be reminded that the real world is sometimes better than fiction. Instead of the chic swagger of 'Poolside,' 'Anything Is Possible' is all about getting dirty. The new short in question is called Upside: Anything Is Possible and it promotes two things: Detroit Dirt and the Ford C-Max Energi. As in the ELR ad, Ford's plug-in C-Max only makes an appearance at the tail end of the spot, but instead of the chic swagger of Poolside, Anything Is Possible is all about getting dirty. The ad stars Pashon Murray, co-founder of Detroit Dirt, which takes natural waste from around Detroit, composts it into soil and then spreads that around "forgotten parcels" of Detroit to create urban farms. Detroit Dirt gets its bio-waste from a lot of sources, including the Detroit Zoological Society (all that herbivore manure has to go somewhere), Ford and General Motors, but this particular ad was the idea of Ford's PR agency, Team Detroit. It was a frenetic shoot, filmed with an LA-based director right after a big winter storm blew through Detroit, and Murray couldn't be happier with the result. "This was Ford Motor Company pushing my story, letting me tell the story that I believe in," Murray tells AutoblogGreen. "I get to help push this car and I get to tell my story." She says that the Team Detroit and Ford had to agree on the message, "from my understanding, [YouTube] is where they wanted to start, not where they wanted to finish." The ad is already getting a positive response on Twitter, so we won't be surprised if it shows up in more places soon. "It's not saying Ford is better than GM. It's telling the story of a black woman who's working hard in Detroit." As Detroit Dirt has off-screen support from both GM and Ford, it's unsurprising to hear Murray say that the video "is not a rivalry thing." She notes that the ad agency Team Detroit came to her and offered to tell the Detroit Dirt story using the framework of the GM ad. "It's a parody on this commercial, but it's not saying Ford is better than GM," she said. "It's telling the story of a black woman who's working hard in Detroit." What is that story? It's about urban farming, recovery and recycling. Murray tells us that for the last seven or eight years, she's been dedicated to sustainability.

Electric Cadillac Lyriq, Chevy Bolt EUV and more GM electric cars are on the way

Wed, Mar 4 2020

GM’s murky and somewhat secretive electric car plan is falling into place, as the company dumped a massive amount of information about whatÂ’s in the pipeline at an event at its Warren, Michigan campus today. New EVs are going to be popping up across the GM brand lineup, with new entries from Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick in progress. We also learned some big news about GMÂ’s new Ultium battery tech today, but check out this story for all of those nitty-gritty details. The electric vehicle onslaught will begin with the Cadillac Lyriq, an electric SUV thatÂ’s already been teased out. Naming it the Lyriq is the news today. No explanation for the name was provided, so weÂ’ll have to wait for April to learn more. GM didnÂ’t specifically say if the Lyriq would be launched at the NY Auto Show, but that show (assuming coronavirus doesnÂ’t cancel it) will begin on April 8 this year. Next up in the order of events is the GMC Hummer electric truck that we know will be launching on May 20. This truck will use GMÂ’s modular Ultium battery technology. However, the wait to buy a GMC Hummer will be a long one, as the truck isnÂ’t going to dive into production until fall 2021 at GMÂ’s Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM revealed that its new modular Ultium batteries can be configured anywhere from a 50 kWh pack to a 200 kWh pack depending on the application. Range is estimated to be about 400 miles on the upper end with the largest battery pack, and GM continues to boast about a 0-60 mph acceleration time of three seconds. Charging estimates for the Ultium battery-equipped Hummer EV were also provided. GM says its truck platform will have 800-volt battery packs and be capable of 350 kW fast-charging. Time estimates werenÂ’t given, but those numbers suggest the truck will be a rapid charger. The Hummer truck on hand, which was the same that previously starred in GMC's Super Bowl spot, showed off removable roof panels that store in the frunk, as well as what appeared to be a version of GMC's Multi-Pro tailgate. It also featured sail panels on the sides, similar to those in front of the bed of the Chevy Avalanche. In addition to the Hummer, expect to see a couple Chevys launching. GM says the refreshed Bolt EV will be launched “in late 2020” with a refreshed interior and what appear to be thicker front seats.
