1965 Cadillac Convertible Great Original Survivor Car on 2040-cars
Newburyport, Massachusetts, United States
|
This is a very original
and clean 1965 Cadillac Convertible. The car originally was from Portland OR. I bought the car 13 years ago
in and had it shipped to Massachusetts. This Cadillac had one proud owner from 1965
to 2000 and has been garage kept since new. In late 2000 the car was sold by the
original owners grandson to a family friend, who sold it to me in April of
2001. I am the third owner. I had it shipped to Mass. In the spring of
2001 where I've driven it only on nice warm days and have kept it in a garage
always. I was attracted to it’s all original
straight condition. The car has never had rust or rot.
This car
runs smooth, quite and strong, really a pleasure to drive if you can afford the
gas!
CHROME and TRIM: The chrome is in overall very
good condition. The bumper front center portion has one bad spot,. The center
portion is a separate piece and can be switched out. The rest of the front
bumper is very very nice. The rear
bumper is overall good but aging. The stainless and chrome trim everywhere on
the car is excellent. INTERIOR: The interior is all original. The
dash is really nice. The molded plastic bottom dash and door panels are
yellowed. The carpet is faded, but nice shape otherwise. The rear seat cover is
nice, and the front seat cover, driver’s area is split at the seams. The door
panels and rear side panels are great. I had a couple upholstery guys
look at the interior and it can be repaired rather than replaced (if wanted).
For example the original carpet can be dyed, the rear seat dyed, the front seat
insert replaced or repaired (Jenkins has the correct Aztec emboss/perforated
leather), the hard plastic re-sprayed. This would freshen the interior to new
without ripping out and destroying the originality of the car. In the glove box
are the original books, owners manual, accessory guide, top guide. TRUNK: In the trunk is one of the
original tires, the boot in the original canvas boot bag, and the wood tire
block for changing the tire. Mileage is 99,000 plus....not 100 yet! I think
it's originality is great...and they are only original ONCE! The FINE PRINT If you are lucky and win this auction, a $500.00 deposit will be required within 48 hours, the balance due within 7 business days. Buyer is responsible for pick-up or shipping of this vehicle. I DO NOT Accept PAY PAL.

Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
Cadillac shows dealers convertible rendering
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Cadillac is getting serious about revitalizing and expanding its lineup, and to that end, a new report claims that brand boss Johan de Nysschen has been showing plans for several new models to the marque's dealer body - among them, a new convertible.
The droptop which Cadillac reportedly showed its dealers in sketch form, would be based on the same platform as the ATS and CTS, those it's unclear to which (if either) of those model lines the new convertible would be added, or whether the design features a canvas or folding hardtop roof. One way or another, it would be the first time Cadillac would offer a convertible since the Corvette-based XLR roadster was discontinued more than five years ago.
Quoting an unnamed brand spokesperson, Cadillac would "like to introduce an open car to the portfolio at some point," however, "it's not likely to be one of the near-term portfolio additions."
Why the 2015 Detroit Auto Show will be the best since The Crisis
Tue, Dec 30 2014The Detroit Auto Show clearly has its swagger back, and the 2015 edition will be a veritable feast for the enthusiast senses. We're talking serious performance, and it will be exhibited in a variety of forms. Sports cars. Supercars. Muscle-bound luxury cars. They're all set for splashy debuts in January in the Motor City. It's another signpost that companies have recovered from the global economic crisis that gripped the industry from 2008-09. For a while, automakers played it safe at Detroit and other shows. Environmentally friendly cars were important, especially for General Motors and Chrysler that were living on loans from Uncle Sam. Ford, Toyota and other companies generally focused on their best-selling or core models. With a few notable exceptions, recent auto shows have been a bit more buttoned-down than in the past. Boring probably isn't the right word, but austerity has been reality. That's changing. Car companies are making money. Sales are up. Aside from the many nagging recalls – and they are notable – the industry now has the time and energy to make performance cars a priority. That will be offered in hard evidence in Detroit. A year from now when we look back at this auto show, we'll sum it up with one word: Horsepower. But make no mistake, this isn't frivolous. Sports and luxury cars are expensive. They're profitable. They boost images and highlight strengths. With that in mind, here are five significant performance-oriented reveals to watch for when the show kicks off in less than two weeks. 2016 Acura NSX Acura's reborn NSX is a strong bet to earn plenty of votes for our Editors' Choice awards. It's one of the most anticipated – and strung-out – reveals of the year. Think back: we actually saw an NSX concept at the 2012 Detroit show, and Acura has spent the last three years teasing the car in a variety of ways. The slow burn, however, means we know a lot about the NSX. It's will use a mid-mounted twin-turbo hybrid powertrain and run with all-wheel drive. It will also wear an innovative zirconium e-coat paint, a new paint process that Honda says is more environmentally friendly. Honda has also said it will build the new NSX in Ohio, where a large part of the car's development work has been done. The original NSX was produced from 1990-2005 and helped establish Acura's performance credentials in the United States. It was a landmark car and a shot across the bow of Ferrari, Lamborghini and others.
