1984 Cadillac Limousine on 2040-cars
Fairfield, California, United States
|
This Limousine was originally purchased by Industrial Indemnity Insurance Co. of San Francisco for the CEO. There were only 1,839 Limousines built by Cadillac at the factory in 1984 and this is one of them. This was the last year of the full length, rear wheel drive limousines built by Cadillac. In 1985, Limousines were outsourced to Limo companies that cut the cars in half and lengthened them, and they used front wheel drive cars that were smaller and less stately looking. The Chauffeur was instructed to purchase a new Limo for the CEO and he got all the bells and whistles. From my research, only the Formal Limousine could get the six-way power seat, but this car has the six-way power seat. It also has a reading light for the CEO that was added but it has stopped working recently. The car was repainted by the previous owner who was going to use it for livery services. The paint was faded when I bought the car and I buffed it out to get a shine. I replaced the right taillight housing as it was slightly dented from an accident. I replaced taillights and also the molding below the grille and front bumper. The vinyl top is in decent shape. There are bubbles beginning to develop below the sail panel at the belt line. I have kept the car garaged during my possession. I've replaced the plastic bumper to fender extensions at the front. The right side needs to be painted to match the paint on the car. Pictures show this. I recently replaced the drive coupler on the front seat motor as the original disintegrated from age, so the power seat now works fine. The driver door window is a little noisy, it works but isn't as quiet as the rest. There is a foot wear spot on the driver side original floor mat. There are cigarette burns, one on the driver door and on the seat, pictures show these. The car is leaking some oil, transmission fluid and differential oil. The cruise control works, but gets an attitude occasionally by surging. I've not used the cruise control much, so maybe it's from the lack of use. I put new tires on the car during ownership. They have low miles on them but are a few years old now. I have all the receipts for the work I've had done to the car as well as the 1984 Cadillac Shop Manuals that will come with it. IT came with the V8/6/4 system but that has been disabled and runs on all eight cylinders all the time. The car needs to go to someone who can maintain it and keep it up. It's a rare car in my view with only 1,839 built and the last of the Limos built at the Cadillac factory. If you have any questions let me know and I will answer them to the best of my ability. The car easily passed emissions within the last month for it's registration. Buyer to arrange for pickup and shipping. |

GM lays off 450 at Lansing Grand River Assembly
Mon, Dec 8 2014General Motors will lay off 450 employees at its Lansing Grand River factory, The Detroit News reports, which is 100 more than the company said it'd be letting go last month. Lansing Grand River Assembly currently builds the Cadillac ATS and CTS, both of which have suffered sluggish sales, with the smaller sedan down 20 percent through last month and the larger model down 2.3 percent, The Detroit News reports. "We are adjusting plant production capacity to better align with market demand. Beginning in January 2015, the plant will operate on a single shift," a GM statement read, before explaining that not all the laid off Grand River employees will be jobless. Of the employees that have been laid off to make room for the single work shift, around 200 will transfer to the Lansing Delta Township factory, home of the Lambda-platform crossovers, GM's statement confirmed. The News expects this one-shift arrangement to continue until at least late next year, when the Alpha-platform Chevy Camaro transitions from General Motors' Oshawa, Ontario factory to Lansing. Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen said at last month's LA Auto Show, "It may not necessarily be permanent, a time may come when we've gained momentum and we can reinstate it. But for now, the adjustment to production capacity is in alignment with our plans for 2015."
2014 Cadillac XTS gets 410-hp twin-turbo V6
Tue, 14 May 2013General 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.
Ghostbusters director tweets first photos of new Ecto-1
Wed, Jul 8 2015Ghostbusters is heading back to theaters next year with a new look. Rather than bringing back the original's aging comedic actors, four actresses are taking over the starring roles, including Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones. Although, one of the movie's major highlights is missing from that list – the Ecto-1. Originally based on a 1959 Cadillac ambulance, we're now getting the first glimpses of the decked-out, ghost-hunting wagon from the new version thanks to director Paul Feig on Twitter. Purists might like that the Ghostbusters are sticking with a Caddy, but the producers are going for a slightly newer, more macabre approach, as well. Rather than an ambulance conversion, the latest one starts as a hearse. Feig also has his Twitter profile picture of a ghost taking over as the hood ornament, and he even tweeted a shot of the rear. @szewcik_james Okay. pic.twitter.com/sHkx1Soj6p — Paul Feig (@paulfeig) July 8, 2015 Being the Internet, Feig is being deluged both with hyperbolic vitriol for changing things, and praise for the switch. He has politely tweeted about the situation. Not blocking or deleting. I hear you all and appreciate all your input, good or bad. Thanks. https://t.co/pxZsWGeNyL — Paul Feig (@paulfeig) July 8, 2015 Keep in mind this Caddy hearse is about as old today as the original Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters' release in 1984. Having the ladies driving a '50s Caddy might stretch the imagination too far even in a movie about fighting the undead. This approach seems like a perfect compromise between old and new.
