1968 Cadillac Deville Convertible California Car Rust Free Beautiful Condition on 2040-cars
This is a beautiful Cadillac convertible that has spent the great majority of its life in southern California. I can not find any rust on the car from pulling the carpet up or inspecting it from underneath. I purchased it and shipped it to the northwest, where it has been garaged and pampered every day since. The vehicle has a clean and clear title in my name. In the past 25 years the car has had two owners including myself.
In the last year, the car has new paint, a new top, new hydraulics, new weatherstripping (all of it, not just a couple pieces), new tires (2013), new brakes, new radio and speakers (radio not yet installed as of now), and plenty more items. I have a box of receipts. Mechanically, the car is excellent. The engine fires up quickly and runs smooth. The transmission shifts just like it should and has recently been serviced with a new filter and fluid. It drives very solidly going down the road. The alignment, suspension, brakes and steering all feel just as they should. I would trust this car to go on a road trip. The interior was reupholstered some time ago, although I dont know how long. it looks very good with no rips in the seats. The top is a quality vinyl replacement, and the hydraulics were also replaced at the time. it moves up and down nicely. The underside of the car is very ncie in appearance, no rust or excessive grime. It's certainly not frame off restored nice, but you can tell it hasnt seen rain. The paint is new as of early 2014 and it looks great. its been cut and buffed and you cant go far down the road without getting a thumbs up or "nice car!" The door jambs, under the trunk and the sides of the hood and fenders were painted at the same time. The sheet metal on this car is very straight. This was not a cheap paint job to get the car out the door. I have pictures of before the car was painted to show that it is not hiding anything scary under there. It has been thoroughly cut and buffed. All 4 power windows work, heater works, AC needs a recharge (pump kicks on but it doesnt get cool) and the power seat is finicky I have a brand new original style stereo that does FM and ipod input and fits in exactly like the original and looks original but as of now it is still in the box along with 4 name brand speakers. There is likely more I am forgetting but the bottom line is it is a beautiful car that runs and drives very nice with new paint, top and much more. I have invested much into this car and I am very confident that it will give someone many years of service. Feel free to ask questions |

2014 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Tue, 10 Dec 2013The 2014 North American International Auto Show is right around the corner, which means it's high time we found out which cars and trucks would be finalists for the prestigious North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards.
The finalists - three in cars and three in three trucks/utilities - are dominated by American brands, with two-thirds of the finalists hailing from either General Motors or Chrysler (don't worry Ford, there's always next year), while outliers from Mazda and Acura can be found in each contest. Here now is the list of finalists for the big prizes:

Off-road Cadillac Escalade adds some extra bush country capability
Wed, 26 Jun 2013So, you're a dyed-in-the-wool General Motors fan, but like the notion of a machine like the Hennessey Velociraptor. We have good news for you. Behold the Aria Coachworks XPLORE Cadillac Escalade. For a modest fee, Aria will outfit your Escalade with a custom suspension, BF Goodrich all-terrain tires wrapped around aluminum wheels, a Warn winch and a special exhaust. There's even a snorkel option for those of you with aspirations toward deep water crossings. Consider yourself warned, however: unlike other GMT900 SUVs, the Cadillac only has an all-wheel drive system, not the more rugged four-wheel drive setup of the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon). Outside, the luxury SUV gets matte paint, black chrome trim, XPLORE power running boards and a roof rack system.
The interior also receives a few fun changes as well, but we're more interested in the fact that buyers can snag a power roof top tent. You know, in case you need to camp out at Best Buy for the PS4. There's also a matching camp trailer and, our personal favorite, a matching BMW GS motorcycle. Bikes not your bag of tricks? That's fine. Aria will also sell you a matched Airstream trailer or Old Town wooden canoes. As much as we want to hate this, we love the notion of bashing through the woods in a $100,000 Cadillac battlewagon with our GS in tow. Check the press release below for more information.
Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
