1968 Cadillac Deville Hardtop Sedan 472 Ci V8 Green Good Running Condition on 2040-cars
Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States
1968 Cadillac DeVille with believed to be 113,000 original miles. 472 CI V8 with 375 HP and 525 FT/LBS. This car is very straight and seems to be rust free with very little bondo. The exterior of the car is in excellent condition. Every trim piece is present and the chrome is in great condition ( there is a small scuff on the passenger side of the lower bumper ) and there is no surface rust. The front drums have been replaced with 12" slotted and cross drilled disc brakes with new master cylinder and proportioning valve. It also has a new fuel pump. The car is an excellent driver with tons of power on hand and tight steering and brakes. Tires have plenty of tread on them. All of the exterior lighting works with the exception of the drivers side cornering lamp, due to a burnt out bulb. Headlights are all new and all turn signals and brake lights work. Interior is all present but in need of some restoration. The front bench seat is in good condition with no rips or tears and all the power adjustments are in working condition. The rear bench also has no rips or tears. The headliner has a one inch tear near the rear view mirror that can be repaired. There is one crack in the dash pad directly in front of the driver. The rest of the dash is in great condition and all parts are present. The door panels have some cracking on the arm rests. All the lights in the dash work except the climate control and radio. The temp gauge, fuel gauge, and speedometer work well. The clock does not work. The windshield wipers work and so does the washer fluid. The radio is present but does not work. The power antennae is missing. All the power windows work well and both of the vent windows operate via the hand cranks. Power door locks work as well. There is some rust in the trunk but it has been treated and seems to have been stopped from advancing but would need some work in a full restoration. The climate control works however I added an auxiliary switch to operate the blower and it needs an AC Compressor. This car is an excellent driver and I drive it every opportunity I get. I recently bought a low mileage original and have no more room for the green machine. This car isn't perfect and that's why I love driving it so much. I've taken it on road trips up to 400 miles each way with no issues. It turns heads and gets thumbs up from young and old alike. She won a trophy in her first car show as well. Great opportunity to get into the classic car hobby with a car that can be fixed up yet can be driven today. |

J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience
Thu, 29 Nov 2012JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
Cadillac XT5 caught uncovered during photo shoot
Fri, Jun 26 2015It's only been a few weeks since Cadillac announced that its replacement for the SRX, the new XT5, is on its way. Now, we have images of it out in the open and completely free of camouflage. Obtained by a reader at Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, the Caddy was spotted during what user Saw930 believes was a photo shoot in New York's trendy SoHo neighborhood. There's only a pair of images, from the front and rear three-quarters, but it's enough to give us a very thorough overview of the exterior styling on the new CUV. In short, the design language that has been seen on Escalade, CTS, and upcoming CT6 has indeed made its way to the SRX replacement. The broad, egg-crate grille is perhaps the cleanest iteration of Caddy's latest styling, while the CT6-inspired headlights look sharp, as well. Expect a similar headlight pattern to the CTS, with strong LED character accents on the outside of the headlights that integrate seamlessly with the lower DRLs. In back, the taillights curve over the rear haunches and blend into an extremely strong shoulder line. It's a dynamic and aggressive piece of design that we'll need to see in person before signing off on. The rear bumper, meanwhile, is a nicely styled piece, complete with twin, integrated, rectangular tailpipes that flank a piece of (probably faux) skid plating. There's a similar off-road treatment in the front bumper, as well. While we wait for scour for more news on the XT5, have a look at the two images Saw930 captured and posted at Oppo and let us know what you think in Comments.
GM design boss Welburn says Lincoln isn't a Cadillac rival [w/poll]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013General Motors Vice President of Global Design, Ed Welburn, had some dismissive words for a certain cross-town luxury brand during an interview with Car and Driver. When asked about his thoughts on Lincoln, Welburn deflected, before saying, "I don't consider Lincoln to be a competitor for Cadillac."
"They're not a global luxury brand. I don't consider them a competitor. Are they a competitor for Buick? Quite possibly. But not for Cadillac," GM's head designer explained. Welburn, who's been at the helm of GM Design North America since 2003 and is the first to hold the position of VP of Global Design, has been instrumental in the styling renaissance at GM, so predictably, Car and Driver's interview with him focused on the design aspect of cars.
During the interview, Welburn explicitly denied plans for a reborn Cadillac XLR, even as a new Chevrolet Corvette is hitting the market and strides are being made with Cadillac's V-Series performance arm saying, "We have a lot of cars that we're working on for the Cadillac brand. The XLR is not one of them right now."
