1952 Cadillac Fleetwood Rust Free From Califorina on 2040-cars

Year:1952 Mileage:98209
Location:

Canadensis, Pennsylvania, United States

Canadensis, Pennsylvania, United States

 This Fleetwood was brought to the East Coast in 1989 and has been garage kept. The Cadillac has been re-painted many years ago in a darker shade of green than the original and should be painted again as the paint that is on there now will not hold a shine. The original color can be seen in the pictures under the hood and trunk lid. They did change to the darker green in the door jambs.

The body, floor boards and frame are solid except for some surface rust. There are no holes anywhere. It appears to be complete with no parts missing and all the trim is in good shape with only the 2 vertical moldings on the rear doors having some dings and a few minor dents. The chrome is ok except for the grille which you can see from the pictures has the plating wore off but is very solid.

The interior has had seat covers installed and I have no idea what is under them. The door panels and carpet need to be replaced but are serviceable as they are. The trunk lining should be replaced also. All glass is good and all gauges work. I have not tried the radio but did try the vacuum antenna and it tries to go up on it's own but will not come down without some help. The windows work from the master switch but the left rear does not operate from the switch on the door itself. I'm sure all the contacts need cleaning.

 Tires are 2 years old and show no signs of dry rot or cracking. It has a good brake pedal and stops reasonably well for a car of this size. The transmission shifts good and the fluid has good color. The oil and filter have just been changed and a tune-up done, new plugs, points, cap and wires. The valve cover gaskets were replaced and everything looked good when we removed them, clean and no build up of gunk. The odometer shows 98,209 which I believe are the original miles although I have no way to verify that. 

I welcome you or your representative to come and inspect the vehicle before purchase. Any questions please give me a call as I have tried to explain all I know about the car. I can be reached at  570-460-8395 EST or email thru eBay. Vehicle is sold as-is with no warranty expressed or implied. Payment must be made in full before vehicle leaves my property and title released. I will accept a bank wire transfer, personal check or cash in person. All funds must clear before vehicle is released. I would like the vehicle removed within 30 days close of auction.

Cadillac scraps three-row CUV plans

Fri, 23 May 2014

Crossovers are one of the hottest automotive segments on the planet. Apparently, the idea of mixing the practicality of a station wagon with the looks of an SUV appeals to people whether they are in Cleveland or Shanghai because nearly every automaker is jumping into the market. So it was no surprise when early rumors suggested Cadillac was planning two, new CUVs to fit above and below the SRX. But things might have changed since then.
New rumblings indicate Caddy is taking a different route. Instead of two crossovers, only the compact is on the way, and the larger, three-row CUV on the Lambda platform to sit between the SRX and Escalade may be a goner. According to Ward's Auto, General Motors thinks that the other three-row, Lambda vehicles like the Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia compete too closely with the proposed Cadillac. The decision comes fairly close to the 2017 intended production date.
As far back as 2010, this Lambda-platform based CUV was considered highly likely for production. However, Cadillac Senior Vice President Bob Ferguson was somewhat cooler about it when he discussed the new crossover briefly last year. He said the model could use the Escalade name, despite its unibody chassis, but no decision had been made yet to actually produce it.

Cadillac CT6 hybrid likely to appear in Shanghai

Fri, Apr 3 2015

Cadillac is poised to reveal a hybrid version of the CT6 sedan later this month at the Shanghai Motor Show. Rumors have swirled of the sedan's pending reveal, and General Motors product chief Mark Reuss reportedly confirmed its existence last fall during an investor conference. On Wednesday, Reuss again said that GM is working on the hybrid CT6, and when asked by Autoblog, he hinted at the pending debut. "We've really got to wait until we finish rounding out the portfolio," he said. "The Shanghai show is where you should look for all of it. So stay tuned." A Cadillac spokesman declined to comment, but confirmed "we will add variants." The brand has already announced two V6 engines and is looking to expand the line. Reuss also said GM has considered a V-Series model for the CT6, but it's focusing on launching the four-cylinder and V6-powered sedans first and promoting V-Series versions of the CTS and ATS that arrive this year. "The [CT6] architecture is certainly capable of doing it," he said. "The question is who's going to buy the CT6? What kind of person? And do we need a V-Series off of that is the question we haven't answered yet. It's certainly capable of doing it ... we've certainly thought about it." Details of the hybrid powertrain aren't known, but it could use plug-in technology. Chevrolet announced the 2016 Malibu will get a hybrid model that employs electric powertrain features from the new generation of the Volt. For the CT6, electric-vehicle technologies would likely be used to extend range and aid the performance of the conventional engine. Related Video:

2014 Cadillac XTS gets 410-hp twin-turbo V6

Tue, 14 May 2013

General Motors told us so back in March, but it is now official: The twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 announced for the 2014 Cadillac CTS will also join the options list for the 2014 Cadillac XTS. The LF3 engine puts out 410 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque in the XTS, however, which is 10 hp and 61 lb-ft down from its application in the CTS. It will be identifiable from the outside by a specific grille treatment and a badge on the decklid. The 3.6-liter V6 with 304 hp and 264 lb-ft holds steady as the standard engine, and both will be yoked to a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
Also new for the front-wheel drive model for 2014 are updates that include electric power steering and optional Automatic Parking Assist that can maneuver the sedan into parallel parking spots. The three trims above standard - Luxury, Premium and Platinum - get Intellibeam headlights that automatically switch between high- and low-beam,
The four current trim levels remain but the list of optional extras for the higher specs grows with a rear-seat entertainment system equipped with DVD screens in the front seatbacks, memory settings for the front passenger seat and an armrest in the back seat fitted with radio and sunshade controls. The press release below has more info on all of the changes.
