Lake Orion, Michigan, United States

Up for sale is my beautiful 1961 Cadillac sedan DeVille. I hate to get rid of it but unfortunately I have other obligations and my loss is your gain. To start, this is an all original 1961 Deville with just over 56,000 original miles on it. Comes standard with the 390cid V8 package that includes A/C, AM radio, leather/cloth interior matching the body paint (gold/white), wide white wall tires, and power windows. The vehicle is equipped with A/C, however at the time of this listing, it is inoperative. Everything is there, but I just not have had a chance to try and charge it. The interior is beautiful as the seats were all redone in original fashion at the end of last summer and look like brand new. All the interior chrome is polished and shiny and the original door cards, headliner, and other interior pieces are in great condition. It also has like new 4-ply wide white wall tires, a brand new battery, fully rebuilt water pump, new air filter, and all the fluids were flushed just about a week or so ago (oil change, coolant flush, transmission flush). I also just recently had the transmission gone through and adjusted as well as the carburetor cleaned and throttle return spring replaced. All the chrome is in great shape with no pitting or blemishes. The grill, like all other Cadillac's of this age, does have slight oxidation in areas, but nothing that stands out. The paint is in great condition except for a few small imperfections here and there (left front fender-shown in pictures). No rust! This car has only had two owners before me dating all the way back to 1961 and was always garage kept and winterized every year! I also had a whole new stainless steel exhaust system put on it end of last year as well (sounds great!). It runs and drives beautifully with no issues and is a great cruiser with plenty of power. The only other thing it will need is to have the seat belts installed. Last summer I had the old ones taken out and new ones bought (included with the car) and just realized they were not installed yet. I also have a folder of paperwork including maintenance records, receipts, old blue prints, etc. as well as extra parts such as air filters, bulbs, seat belts, color-matching paint, and a water-proof car cover that will all be included with the car. All in all this car is ready to be driven daily with no issues and would be a great addition to anyone's collection. I just took her out the other day for a cruise with no issues whatsoever and if anyone is local and wants to come take a look or test drive it, feel free to give me a call or email. Also feel free to contact me if you have any questions whatsoever or if there's something I missed in the pictures that you would like to see. Happy bidding!

2016 Cadillac CTS-V prepares to kick ass, take names

Tue, Jan 13 2015

Some stories write themselves. This post on the North American International Auto Show debut of the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V is one of them. This 200-mile-per-hour sedan pilfers the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 from the Chevy Corvette Z06, and puts it to the same tire-devastating effect, offering up 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic – please join us in a moment of silence for the dearly departed manual CTS-V – then dispatches the force-induced thrust to a very large, sticky set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. To ensure the CTS-V can tear your face off with lateral Gs as well as accelerative Gs, Cadillac stiffened the car's structure by 25 percent, fitted magnetic ride control and fitted the aforementioned tires. Beyond the mechanicals, a substantial rear spoiler, front splitter and diffuser improve grip through aerodynamics. Keeping drivers pinned during all this tire shredding and face tearing is the task of meaty, two-piece Recaro sport seats, which are found in a luxuriously appointed cabin, complete with 4G LTE connectivity, a Bose stereo and Siri Eyes Free. There's even a Performance Data Recorder, which will be on hand to record your miscues if (or perhaps when) the car's extreme abilities outpace your own talents. Take a look at our array of live images from the CTS-V's official debut at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show.

GM CEO Akerson calls out Tesla, says Cadillac will compete on EVs

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

Cadillac will be taking on Tesla Motors, the underdog EV manufacturer that's seen heaps of critical acclaim and stock market buzz with its most recent sedan, the Model S. "If you want to compete head-to-head with Tesla, and we ultimately will, you want to do it with a Cadillac," Dan Akerson, the chairman and CEO of General Motors, told media in Washington, according to The Detroit News.
Akerson continued, telling The News, "We'll sell more Volts and lose less money on the Volts than they'll lose on the Model S." He also took time to point out that Tesla getting vehicles out to customers isn't a guarantee of success or permanence, using Fisker as an example, saying "Does anybody even remember Fisker? I mean, there were a number of them; they are all gone."
This strong talk from Akerson comes after Doug Parks, another GM exec, let slip that the Detroit-based manufacturer has an EV in the works that will cover 200 miles per charge and only cost about $30,000, a massive upgrade over similarly priced EVs that struggle to top 100 miles per charge. Until that vehicle arrives, though, GM is preparing the Cadillac ELR, a small coupe that, like the Volt with which it shares technology, uses a gas engine as a mobile generator to recharge the batteries. Akerson took aim at Tesla again, saying, "But I do think when the ELR comes out late this year, early next - it's certainly the same postal code as Tesla, but now we're going to move up. It's not going to be a mass-produced car."

GM cutting production at two plants

Thu, Feb 26 2015

General Motors is continuing to adjust to excess supply of some of its brands' models. To get production more in line with the vehicles' actual demand, the automotive giant is idling two of its factories in North America in the coming months. The Orion Assembly plant is going to be down from March 9-13, according to an anonymous plant worker and another insider speaking to Automotive News. The factory builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, but there are plenty of both models sitting on dealer lots, including 216 days worth of Sonics, according to AN. The factory already had two idle periods announced to reduce the excess. In addition, downtime is scheduled at GM's "Flex" line at the Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, plant from April 13-17. This affects supply of the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS. Among them, the automotive giant has the largest supply of Regals ready for dealers with 213 days worth of them, according to AN. The future for the whole Oshawa factory is cloudy in general, though. There are rumors that it could close entirely in the future because the Camaro is leaving and the Regal and XTS might not last much longer than 2017. The Canadian government and the labor union there intend to put up a fight, though.
