1965 Cadillac Convertible Great Original Survivor Car on 2040-cars
Year:1965
Mileage:99600
Location:
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. And…please do not bid if you do not have the funds to complete the transaction….Thanks for your understanding and good luck!

GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee
Tue, Sep 8 2015General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Cadillac Rear Camera Mirror | 2017 Autoblog Technology of the Year Finalist
Wed, Jan 25 2017We give Cadillac a lot of credit for being the first to make good on the promise to replace mirrors with cameras and displays. That was good enough to earn the Cadillac Rear Camera Mirror a place on our 2017 Technology of the Year awards shortlist for new features. The idea behind this system is relatively simple; what perhaps took more doing was getting the regulations in place to allow a video feed to replace the government-mandated mirror. The hardware and that rules compliance starts with what looks like a normal rearview mirror – because it defaults to being a mirror until you switch on the display or in the event the system somehow fails. Flip the little toggle at the bottom of the mirror – the one normally used to switch from day to night mode – and the reflection is replaced by a very crisp feed from a camera at the back of the vehicle. This live stream gives you a wide-angle view of what's behind, without obstruction from back-seat passengers, headrests, or any bodywork. The camera is even shielded from weather and has a coating to shed water. What you see doesn't exactly look like a normal reflection, but the quality is good enough and you see more than you would normally with something aimed through today's small rear windows. But because it isn't actually a reflection, you have to make some adjustments. When your eyes are focused down the road, glancing at a mirror gives you a view the same distance away but in the rear. With the rear camera mirror, a glance back requires your eyes to first refocus on the display, which takes a moment. And unlike a normal mirror, which you look through at an angle, this display is angled toward the driver but projecting an image that looks straight back – no matter how you move it, the image doesn't change like a mirror's would. And because it's an image and not a reflection, you can't choose what's in focus and lose your sense of depth perception. It's not clear whether objects in mirror are closer or farther than they appear. And there are other limitations. For instance, while the display balances bright lights and dark surroundings well at night, it is tricked by LED headlights, which flicker at a rate faster than the camera shoots. The result is a distracting strobe effect like you get when you point a smartphone camera at any LED light source. For those with migraine sensitivity, this kind of fast flashing can cause real problems.
