1960 Cadillac Coupe De Ville A/c True Survivor Hard Top 2 Door on 2040-cars
Mangum, Oklahoma, United States
Up for auction is one 1960 Cadillac Coupe De Ville. By my understanding having the "J" in the VIN makes it a true coupe De Ville and not a series 62. If my research and knowledge is incorrect please let me know. The car is in above average condition considering being 50+ years old.
The body is in clean and straight with no issues. As noted the only rust through is located on the lower rear corners of the front fenders. The floor pans and rockers along with the inner trunk structure and undercarrige are rust free. The chassis is rust free as well and at all body mounting points. All the exterior is in nice shape but is in need of paint. The color has faded but no surface rust around any glass etc... All glass is in nice condition and all power windows and electronics work including 6 way power seat. I have recenetly installed a brand new OEM style spotlight and (rare) bracket on the car since the original spotlight and bracket were missing. The Air Breather and Valve Covers have been professionally painted with base coat and clear coat and look great. The vehicle will come with an extra drivers side door panel and a set of hub caps. The tires all have weather cracks and would probably need to be replaced.
The car is mechanically sound and runs and drives great. The vehicle has new push rods, lifters, fuel filter, fuel pump, transmission filter, cap rotor, iginition coil, stater, battery, oil filter, oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, anti-freeze, new intake gaskets, spark plugs, spark plugs wires, belts, hoses, and master cylinder. The transmission is in good condition and was free of any sludge build up or debris when the filter and fluid were replaced. The transmission shifts great and responds normally. The igintion system has had a full tune up and almost all of the ignition electronics have been replaced. The engine has had a recent oil change and the old oil was free of and metal shavings or debris. The cooling system has been completely flushed and had all of the anti freeze replaced with no abnormalities in the old antfreeze when changed. The carburetor has been fully rebuilt and cleaned and is a factory carburetor with electric choke. The car has factory dual exhaust but has rust throughout various spots but car is still quiet; however, the exhaust will need to be replaced.
The car runs and drives well. You could say its like driving a recliner down the road. The air conditioning on the vehicle works but will need a charge in order for the air conditioning to be 100%. The heater inside the vehicle works great and blows hot without any leaks. The car is a true survivor that has not been molested and would make a great car for someone to restore and bring back fond memories or make new ones. The car would make for a great restoration or a great daily driver as is.
I offer no warranty with this car and please let me know if you have any questions via email through ebay. Serious inquiries can feel free to send a phone number and I will be happy to give them a call for more details or questions. Please contact me before you bid if you have less than 5 positive feedback but are seriously interested in the vehicle. I would prefer to have bidders that have more than 5 feedback. Paypal is a requirement for purchasing the vehicle because I do require a $500 deposit to be paid 48 hours after the auction closing with the remaining balance paid 7 days after auction closing.
Buyer will be resposible for the pick up and shipping of the vehicle. The vehicle can be picked up at a business with a large parking lot. Common carriers I have had good luck with in the past include DAS and Uship or you can use a carrier of your choice.
Thank you for taking the time to show interest in this vehicle. |

GM winding down Chevrolet brand in Europe
Thu, 05 Dec 2013If you've taken even a cursory look at GM's European strategy and wondered how it can target the market there with both Chevrolet and Opel/Vauxhall, you're not alone. In fact General Motors itself has found it difficult to justify the two-pronged approach. That's why it's essentially pulling Chevy from the European marketplace.
Instead of trying to ply European buyers with what are mostly former Daewoo products rebadged as Chevys, GM will now let Opel (or Vauxhall in the UK) represent its mass-market aspirations. Chevrolet will keep its presence in Russia and other former Soviet markets, and will continue selling certain niche products in Eastern and Western Europe. The Corvette, for example, has long been sold in Europe through Cadillac dealerships, which for its part is currently "finalizing plans for expanding in the European market".
While the shift in strategy is expected to help GM get a stronger foothold in the European market in the long run, in the short term the restructuring will cost it dearly: between $700 million and $1 billion, according to its own estimates, split between the last quarter of this year and the first half of the next.

The 2016 Pebble Beach Concept Lawn was nuts as always
Mon, Aug 22 2016The Concept Lawn at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is like the smallest, most expensive car show you can imagine. A bunch of unobtanium concepts and almost-production models line an irregularly shaped putting green for people to stare at while on their way to see other, older insane cars. This year's crop was a particularly good one. We'll walk through the gallery above in order: That's a new Ford GT. Not quite a concept, but it's not in production yet, so we'll let it slide. Then there's the one-of-a-kind Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo that was recently bought by a Saudi Prince along with a matching Chiron. Next up is the Lamborghini Centenario Roadster, which was unveiled last week and is already sold out. This orange automobile is BMW's 2002 Hommage with its latest livery, a Jagermeister-themed affair called Turbomeister. This silver Infiniti, the Q80 Inspiration Concept, is an oldie but a goodie. It first appeared in Paris in 2014. The extremely long automobile after that is the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6, which was unveiled in Monterey this year. The 6 in the name is because it's 6 meters, or about 18 feet, long. Most of that's the hood. Next we have the one-of-99 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato coupe, which continues to be beautiful. After that is a Fisker Karma with a V8, the VLF Destino. Thank you, Bob Lutz. The black sedan you see after that is the Cadillac Escala Concept, which also made its debut in Monterey this year. Then we have a Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge. Not a concept, but exclusive enough to join the others. Next is the McLaren 570GT customized by MSO that arrived for Pebble 2016. It has special design touches plus an electrochromic panel to replace the normal glass roof. The light blue car is the Genesis New York concept. The name didn't change even though it was in Monterey. Then we have the large and in charge Lincoln Navigator concept, taking up two regulation concept spots. The red car with suicide doors is Acura's Precision Concept, which we first saw at the Detroit show this year. Another non-concept, the Lexus LC 500h at least looks futuristic enough to be a show-specific car. And here's a 2017 Maserati Quattroporte, which is definitely not a concept. A Bentley Mulsanne EWB, because why not? It's not available in the US, so that almost qualifies for concept status. Then there's a reproduction Lister Knobbly, which we could stare at all day.
Weekly Recap: Lincoln Continental serves up the style, Cadillac CT6 delivers the substance in New York
Sat, Apr 4 2015Lincoln and Cadillac grabbed the spotlight this week at the New York Auto Show in a dramatic fashion that evoked the brands' glory days. America's two luxury carmakers went toe-to-toe with their glittering reveals and plans for ambitious expansion. Both were selling their technology, style and the promise of a better future. Cadillac vs. Lincoln. At the Javits Center, 2015 seemed a lot like 1956. Neither company was interested in drawing comparisons with the other, which is fair, and accurate. They're in vastly different places in terms of sales and the pace of their turnarounds, but they hope to reach the same eventual destination at the pinnacle of the luxury-car world. Lincoln used the element of surprise to great effect with the Continental concept. A production version is still at least a year away, and the company was vague on details. Officially, we don't even know if it is front- or rear-wheel drive, though speculation abounds. Who cares? The seats can be adjusted 30 ways! The Continental also showed off a bold chrome grille that will be the new face of Lincoln. The blue bomber also rolled on blinged-out 21-inch polished aluminum wheels, used a 3.0-liter EcoBoost engine and had huge LED head lights with "laser-assisted" high beams. All of this resulted in almost blinding attention. The concept drew rave reviews, stirred controversy with Bentley designers who argued Lincoln ripped them off, and most importantly, pointed a way forward for the newly determined brand that hopes to compete with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Cadillac and Lexus. View 32 Photos Meanwhile, Cadillac showed the CT6, a finished product that will top its range and is loaded with the best and latest technologies General Motors has at its disposal. With production starting late this year, Cadillac had more specifics at the ready. Engines? Cadillac has a couple V6s and a turbo four for sure. It's working on a hybrid, and has considered a V-Series variant. It's based on a new rear-wheel-drive, aluminum-intensive chassis called Omega, features an advanced collision-mitigation system with automatic braking and has a cabin that's laden with "leathers, exotic woods and carbon fiber." It will be assembled at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck factory and goes on sale next year. At this point, Cadillac is more than willing to talk about every except for the price. The devil was not in the details for Cadillac, as evidenced by the CT6. But it wasn't for Lincoln either.
