 1956 Cadillac Series 60 Special 4 Door Hardtop

The Sixty Special name was used at Cadillac to denote a Special model beginning with the 1938 Harley Earl designed Series 60. Soon after, the Sixty Special name would be synonymous for some of Cadillac's most luxurious vehicles. It was Fleetwood marketed, and enjoyed higher-priced amenities, molding, trim and upholstery, etc. than its less expensive sibling the series 62.  It took over as Cadillac's most luxurious, owner-driven large model, ( as opposed to limosene models) a role it would fill through 1976. With trim inspired by the WWII Lockheed designed P-38 Lightning Fighter Aircraft, the Sixty Special featured a Bullet-Nosed front bumper, simulated side-scoops, and tail-fins patterned to resemble the P-38's vertical stabilizers. 1956 was the last year for the P-38 inspired tail fins on the rear of most Cadillacs.

This particular Cadillac has been stored for many years in indoor storage, and is in better than average condition. Air Conditionaing, Power Steering, Power Seats, and Power windows all work. Some interesting and unusual features include automatic dimming high beam lights for oncoming traffic, and 4 overhead air flow vents for passenger comfort.   I have done little to it except to wash off the dust, clean it out, install a brand new battery, start it, and drive it for short distances around the block. I figure the new owner will most likely want to take care of anything else it may need. It is a good restoration candidate, or, with very little work, it could be a good daily driver. The pictures show a pretty accurate description of its condition. It has a strong, good running 365 cu in (5.98 L) powerplant.(originally rated as producing 285 horsepower). Approximately 91,200 miles on the odometer. It runs and drives good, but will need the brakes re-worked in that they currently do not hold pressure. The Park brake works well. Some minor rust issues in the rocker panels and rear bumper, but nothing to be overly concerned about.  The floor pans and quarter panels are rust free. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best, I would rate this car a solid 8 or 9 for being straight and rust-free. The driver's seat fabric has some tatters and tears.  The tires hold air and are in operable condition.  The car is located for viewing in Littleton, Co., a suburb of Denver. I have set a low reserve to ensure a sale.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Cadillac ATS Coupe headed for Detroit reveal

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without its two-door models. But the XLR has been discontinued for over four years now, the Elmiraj concept may never see production and the future of the CTS Coupe is still up in the air. That leaves just the ELR, which may not be conventional enough for traditional Cadillac coupe buyers. Fortunately a new coupe is coming along to fill the void.
According to Edmunds, Cadillac will reveal the new ATS coupe just a couple of months from now at the Detroit Auto Show. Expected to mechanically mirror the existing ATS sedan, the new coupe will also more conventionally resemble its four-door counterpart than the CTS, whose coupe version was distinguished by a rakishly sloping roofline.
Expect the same choice of engines to carry over, with a 2.5-liter four serving as the base engine, and both a 2.0-liter turbo four and a 3.6-liter V6 offering more power for those looking for that extra bit of oomph. Following the Detroit reveal, sources anticipate the ATS coupe to go on sale next summer.

Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable

Sun, 10 Aug 2014

A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.

Editors' Picks February 2021 | Ford F-150, Genesis GV80, Mazda CX-30 and more

Wed, Mar 10 2021

If we’ve driven and reviewed it, thereÂ’s an Autoblog Rating for it. ItÂ’s been over two years since we launched a new rating system to help you evaluate cars at a glance. We tweaked and improved it along the way and quickly arrived at a consistent process for giving each and every car on sale today a fair score. Cars that are exemplary or stand out in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. Every car we rate gets a score from 1 to 10, making it easy for you to tell if itÂ’s a car worth pursuing and possibly purchasing. YouÂ’ll find the scores of previously-rated cars attached toward the top of our written reviews. For example, the Bronco SportÂ’s rating can be found here. The Acura TLXÂ’s rating is in this post, and the Nissan RogueÂ’s rating is right here. There are hundreds of examples to be found. The above examples make up the most natural ways to find the Autoblog rating when researching for your next car, but starting today, weÂ’re going to begin calling out each new set of Editors' Picks per month in their own breakout stories. This will put the newest and most recently refreshed cars on sale on a pedestal for you to see which ones are worth your while. WeÂ’ll typically rate anywhere between 5-10 new cars per month, so you can count on just a select few from those to make this list. Expect to see this recurring ratings post each month going forward, and read on for FebruaryÂ’s EditorsÂ’ Picks.   2021 Genesis GV80 2021 Genesis GV80 View 18 Photos Quick take: The stylish GV80 offers useful safety features, compelling design and sporty dynamics to push it near the top of the segment. Genesis takes risks with this aggressive crossover, and the result is a luxurious vehicle that is rewarding to drive. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Lincoln Aviator, Volvo XC90, BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, Acura MDX, Lexus RX Pros: Beautiful design, good road manners, awesome value Cons: Small third row and cargo space, less comfortable standard suspension  From the editors: Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore — “The GV80 is a hugely important vehicle for Genesis. It makes a style statement, has an elegant interior and is a compelling all-round execution. It looks like a Bentley, and I give Genesis props for taking some risks with the GV80 and largely pulling it all off.
