1963 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe De Ville on 2040-cars
Temecula, California, United States
We have an original California 1963 Cadillac Coupe DeVille that spent its entire life in Santa Barbara until we purchased it from the original estate two years ago. The car has been garaged in Temecula, California since. Original paint and interior with no flaws. Always garaged with no sun damage. Drives very nice with no rattles or squeaks. All glass is perfect and everything works; power windows, power seat (sometimes has issue with moving forward and back), power brakes and steering. The clock works and the original radio works, but is disconnected for an upgraded sound system that is hidden in the glovebox. The power antenna is not working at this time, but may be because the original radio is disconnected.
Outfitted with high-end Dayton wire wheels and radial tires that have less than 1000 miles. I do have a near-perfect set of the original wheel covers (15-inch) that are included and original owners manual. The paint has the factory gloss that you would expect and the seats/dash/instrument cluster are near perfect. This is an amazing example of an unrestored survivor that has always been kept out of the elements. The underside of the car is exemplary with no signs of rust on the chassis or suspension components. This car is very tight and is capable of cruising at 80 mph with no vibration or pull. No history of rust or dent repair! Many cars of this age show pitting of the chrome, even in the interior/dash. This car has absolutely no pitting and presents itself as new. Engine starts and runs perfect with no lifter noise or smoke, etc. The transmission shifts perfectly. There are no leaks on the garage floor to speak of. All lights and signals work as they should as well as all interior lights. The engine bay has NEVER been detailed. Valve cover gaskets are original indicating valve covers have never been taken off and no components have ever been painted since factory. You will not be disappointed so bid with confidence. If you are not satisfied with this purchase, I will buy it back....I am that confident. Robert at 951-506-3572 (home) or 801-712-0802 (cell). Please feel free to call with any questions and/or inspect. |

Cadillac ATS was almost front-wheel drive
Wed, 03 Apr 2013"We were going to do a front-wheel drive Cadillac compact off of Delta because it was going to be less expensive," Doug Parks, General Motors' vice president of global product programs, told the Automotive News during the Detroit Auto Show in January of this year. That sentence, referring to early ATS discussions more than five years ago - a period when the automaker, and the industry, was struggling - reveals that Cadillac's highly acclaimed rear-wheel drive compact sedan almost never happened.
Parks revealed that that automaker actually built a 2.0-liter test mule, on GM's Delta platform (shared with the Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Verano) and tested it in Europe. While the prototype was "pretty darn good," according to Parks, the team realized that in order to compete against Mercedes-Benz and BMW it would have to invest in a new rear-wheel drive platform.
The resulting all-new Alpha platform would eventually underpin the Cadillac ATS, and many would argue that its balanced rear-wheel drive chassis is its single most important attribute. Thankfully, the Alpha's goodness won't stop with the ATS. The upcoming 2014 Cadillac CTS and the future Camaro will also share its architecture, meaning the Cimarron will remain a distant memory.
Cadillac won't replace XTS after 2019
Mon, Apr 6 2015Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without a large sedan, but the definition of just which model fits that bill changed last week. Before the New York Auto Show, that role fell to the XTS. After the New York Auto Show, though, the focus shifted to the CT6. So what's to become of the XTS now that the CT6 has emerged? According to the latest intel, it'll live out the rest of its lifecycle until around 2019, but then drive off to its own funeral like so many limousines and hearses that were built off its platform. This was learned based on comments made by Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen at the closed-door unveiling of the CT6 in Manhattan: "Ultimately, a car like XTS when it reaches the end of its lifecycle, will not be replaced." That'll be bad news for the livery business that – in the post-Town Car era – has come to rely on the XTS as the basis for its stretch jobs. "We will not have a car that will lend itself to these kind of modifications and we will probably withdraw from those markets," de Nysschen told GM Inside News. That's not all the new Cadillac boss had to say, though: he also indicated that the replacements for the ATS and CTS will be positioned differently from the current models: "As we move into the future refining our sedan portfolio, there will be no direct successor to the CTS. There will be no direct successor to the ATS. There is no point to renaming those cars because in the future those cars will disappear." Based on Johan's comments and those we've heard until now, we'd expect the replacement for the ATS to move down a size to take on the likes of the Audi A3 and Mercedes CLA, and the CTS' successor to move down half a size class as well to give the new CT6 a bit more breathing room, and possibly an even larger flagship sedan to be positioned above them all.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Wed, 12 Dec 20122012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
