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.

Cadillac to add small sedan, crossover as part of major product blitz

Tue, Jan 13 2015

Cadillac will add a small sedan and a compact crossover to its lineup in the next several years as part of an ambitious product blitz that will remake its lineup. The sedan will slot below the ATS, which is currently Cadillac's smallest four-door car. It's scheduled to arrive in 2017, Cadillac president Johan de Nysschen told Autoblog at the Detroit Auto Show. The sedan will be followed late that year or in early 2018 by a compact crossover, which will be positioned below the SRX. The crucial redesign of the SRX – Cadillac's top seller – arrives in 2016. It will switch to the brand's new naming system and change to an "XT" prefix followed by a number. The naming scheme debuts on the CT6, which launches in late 2015 and will be positioned above the CTS and XTS sedans. Cadillac also wants to add another crossover that sits between the SRX and its flagship SUV, the Escalade, at some point. Further out, Cadillac's long-awaited Mercedes-Benz S-Class fighter could arrive around 2020, and it would serve as the flagship or "showcase of the brand," de Nysschen said. Cadillac is also looking to expand its powertrain portfolio and is contemplating a wide range of options, including hybrids, plug-in electric vehicles and diesel engines. The new cars and crossovers are part of a $12-billion investment in Cadillac, which de Nysschen described as "an unheard level of capital" from General Motors. In total, the brand will receive eight new products through 2020. "Our product offensive will provide the substance for our ambitions," he said. De Nysschen has set high goals – and made major changes – at Cadillac since he took over the 113-year-old luxury brand in September. The brand moves to a separate headquarters in New York this year, away from GM's base in Detroit, and it has switched advertising agencies in a bid to elevate its image. Cadillac's sales declined 6.5 percent in the United States in 2014 to 170,750 units, and it has the smallest volume of GM's four brands. "Here in the US we continue to make progress, but we also face challenges," de Nysschen said. He added the brand's lineup "clearly limits our growth opportunities in the US market." Still, de Nysschen is taking the long view for Cadillac, noting it took years to turn around Audi, where he was president of its US operations for eight years. Cadillac's global sales have inched up five percent globally this year, spurred by a 47-percent surge in China.

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.

GM recalling Cadillac ATS, XTS, Chevy Impala over faulty brake lamps

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

General Motors has issued a recall covering 1,627 sedans over faulty brake lamps. Both the 2013 Cadillac ATS and XTS are affected by this problem, as is the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
According to an official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, "the brake lamps may intermittently flash without the brakes being applied and the cruise control may disengage" on these vehicles. The report does not state that the brakes themselves are faulty, but rather that "if the brake lamps flash when the vehicle is not slowing, a following driver may not adjust vehicle speed when the vehicle is in fact braking."
This marks the first recall for the 2013 Cadillac ATS, as well as the recently introduced 2014 Chevy Impala. In late 2012, over 12,000 Cadillac XTS models were recalled due to a head restraint issue.
