1953 Cadillac Fleetwood 4 Door 60s (model 6019sx) Full Restoration 7 Years Ago on 2040-cars
Hugo, Minnesota, United States
This 1953 Cadillac Fleetwood Four Door 60S is an almost perfect example of one of the most luxurious cars built in that era. There were only 109,651 Cadillacs built that year including all models and of that total only 20,000 were Fleetwood 60S models. This was the top of the line Cadillac most being purchased by Doctors, Lawyers, Corporate CEO's and other top professionals. Today, only 2,200 of these rare Fleetwoods remain on State auto registries, with an estimated additional 2,000 spread around in junk yards across the Country. The 1953 Model was the first of the Cadillacs to utilize the 12 volt electrical system, and the one piece rear window. The engine for 53 was a 331 Cu In V8, rated at 210 HP. Transmissions were either GM Hydramatic, or Dynaflow depending on whether the car was built before or after the big fire at the Hydramatic production facility. This car is equipped with the Hydramatic Automatic Transmission. The speedometer shows 25,890 and that appears to be authentic when one reads the restoration records for the car. This fine automobile spend most of it's life in Connecticut and later in the early 2000's it shows up in Wisconsin records. In 2010 the car was documented by an appraisal service in Cloquet, Minnesota and it was most recently appraised by a service in White Bear Lake, MN in February of 2014. That appraisal listed the cars value at from 60,000 to 70,000. The receipt file is extensive to say the least - with over $25,000 in chrome plating alone. The file goes on and on, Professional engine rebuild, transmission, radiator, generator, transmission cooler, new tires, glass, window regulators, window rubbers and the list of small detail parts purchased is endless. The photos tell the story - look them over good. The car drives like a Cadillac should. Smooth, quiet, and fairly quick for it's age and weight. This is luxury once you sit in these couch like seats. The interior is just a perfect as the exterior, the dash board is just exquisite in detail and class. We can be of some assistance with shipping arrangements if that is required, just let us know in advance. Call before bidding for details that may be missing in the description. Car has a clear title and is ready to be transferred to you right away. Sixonetwo Sevenfiveone Five0sevennine will get me anytime during the day in the central time zone for questions. If the asking price seems to be out of your range, just let me know and I can potentially list a "buy it now" price for you that meets your needs. Lets get this car to it's new owner quickly. Thanks for looking, appreciated! Jerry.

GM recalls 2014 Cadillac CTS recall
Wed, 02 Jul 2014No, that headline isn't a typo - General Motors has reportedly issued a recall for one of its own recalls. The recall of a recall affects the recall of the 2014 Cadillac CTS, which wasn't supposed to be recalled. Except that the 2014 CTS was supposed to be recalled. Oh no, now we've gone cross-eyed.
Allow us to explain. The redesigned, third-generation CTS Sedan does not feature a faulty ignition switch, while the 2014 CTS Coupe and Wagon, which are based on the second-gen car, do. And as it turns out, there are only 264 of those vehicles included in last week's 8.2-million-unit, ignition-switch recall. Model year 2003 to 2013 CTS Sedans, Coupes and Wagons are still covered.
It's not entirely clear how this, frankly, colossal mistake was made, although we're betting GM is rapidly trying to get to the bottom of this embarrassing issue. Regardless, let's just take what solace we can in there being one less vehicle that GM has recalled this year.
NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
Cadillac will kill the plug-in ELR
Tue, Feb 2 2016Johan de Nysschen, president of General Motors' Cadillac division, says Caddy's ELR extended-range plug-in won't have any future generations, Automotive News (subs. req.) says. The publication previously reported that the car would be around for another couple of years, but even that's questionable, and the model could be yanked even sooner. Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell confirmed that there won't be a second-generation ELR. "Subsequent generations of the car will not be developed," he wrote in an e-mail to Autoblog. "It's available currently as a 2016 model, and there's no change to that status." The model debuted in late 2013 and used a version of the powertrain in the Chevrolet Volt. The main problem, of course, was that the car had a $76,000 price tag that proved too much for most automobile buyers to stomach. Last year, GM sold 1,024 ELRs, down 22 percent from 2014's totals. By comparison, the Chevy Volt moved more than 15,000 units, and that itself was still down 18 percent from year-earlier figures. The merciful end to the ELR shouldn't be much of a surprise, as Cadillac Chief Marketing Officer Uwe Ellinghaus went on the record in December of essentially calling the model a dud. It's a far cry from the excitement, though, that the concept model of what was then called the Converj was unveiled to the public at the Detroit Auto Show in 2009. For those feeling misty-eyed or nostalgic, though, check here for Autoblog's First Drive impressions of the extended-range plug-in.
