I have for sale here a really decent and rare 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special.  This 50's land yacht starts right up and runs and drives good.  The brakes are pretty decent and the ride is very comfortable.  You and 5 of your buddies can cruise around town in real style.  The wide whites are old, but give a good ride.  The engine does sound very good and starts right up.  Pretty quiet exhaust.

The body is good and all of the stainless is there.  The stainless is in decent condition but does have the occasional screw.  The paint is average to below average and some crazy previous owner painted the rear bumper.  Bothe bumpers are solid.  The chrome is just OK.  The front and rear windshields are good.  The underside is pretty solid looking also with the usual and expected surface rust present.  Both rear floor pans have been patched amteurishly, but seem solid.  The trunk floor has rust through in a couple places along the edge.  Overall, the body and underside are very usable and driveable.  Some rust through on front lip of hood. 

The interior is really quite good!  Its all original and the fabric is in good shape and looks very stylish.  Nice dash and steering wheel.  Very good headliner.  All of the power windows work.  This '58 has power vent windows but they don't work.  Th dome lights, map light, and cigarette lighter work.  The horn, door locks, and turn signal indicators work.  Has remote mirror.  Heater and defroster blow and the wipers work.  The fuel ga, odometer, and trip meter also work.  These interior items are not working: speedo, clock, radio, and power seat.  The power seat makes noise but doesn't move.  As you can see in the photos, the interior is in really good condition and can be used right away.  All front and rear turn signals work and hedalights and turn signal dash arrows light up and flash.

These 1958 Fleetwood 60 Specials are very impressive indeed.  Pretty rare too!  This one can be enjoyed right away, or restore as you go.  This '58 Cad would be a great one to start with. 

Please feel free to ask any questions.  Sold in as-is condition.  Inspection available.

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.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.

Opel director Sedran to succeed Docherty as Chevy Europe boss

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

When longtime General Motors executive Susan Docherty announced she would be stepping down from her post as the head of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe, there was some idle chatter that plans for the creation of a new global overseer position for the Bowtie brand was behind the move. And while US sales chief Alan Batey has indeed assumed control of Chevy worldwide since her departure announcement, Docherty's vacancy is being filled after all, with Opel chief strategist Thomas Sedran taking up the reins.
That's according to Automotive News, who reports that Sedran will be tasked with pulling Chevy out of a sales funk, much of it pegged on Europe's stagnant auto industry, which has sunk to a 20-year low. AN notes that Chevy's EU sales plunged 32 percent to 57,584 units through the first five months of 2013, but the everyday value brand is faring worlds better than Cadillac, which has sold just 167 units in Europe over the same time period.
Sedran, 48, has been in the auto industry for over 20 years. Most recently, at Opel he had been working on long-term plans for the marque, and was appointed to the brand's management board in April of last year. Prior to joining GM, Sedran was employed as a management consultant for AlixPartners, where he worked closely with Opel for six years. Sedran will assume his new duties beginning July 1.
