Here is what I have found while driving it… The A/C doesn’t work (fan will come on, but changing the temperature doesn’t work), the original stereo doesn’t work (but an aftermarket stereo has been added which does work) and the power seat doesn’t move. The power windows DO work, but sometimes you have to hold a switch down, let it go and then hold the switch down again. Car is available for viewing anytime or I am happy to help facilitate transportation to a local mechanics shop for inspection if requested."

Impressive ride... I acquired this DeVille Convertible from my brother who practices law in Orange County, CA. and he took it in as payment against a legal bill.  Here is what I can tell you about the car: It runs great, in fact we drove it up from California to Utah this spring rather than having it trucked up.  We also had a state inspection and emissions test done when we got it to Utah and it passed just fine. Also, the car has no visible oil drips under the engine in the garage where we park it which surprised us for a 40+ year old vehicle.  The motor for this year’s model was a 472 Cubic Inch V-8.  The odometer works and shows 49,379, but I have no way to verify if they are actual miles. 
 
The top is in excellent condition, and the power mechanism to open and close the top works fine. The paint looks great with only minor rust showing along rocker panels.  We are quite certain the paint is original, and the white color has endured well over time (plus the car has likely been garaged for most if not all of its life).  In short, the car is ready to roll and is unbelievably fun to drive. When we drive this car, we have people giving us the “thumbs-up” from all walks of life, the car is universally “cool” to everyone.

What doesn't work? Here is what I have found while driving it…  The A/C doesn’t work (fan will come on, but changing the temperature doesn't work), the original stereo doesn't work (but an aftermarket stereo has been added which does work) and the power seat doesn't move. The power windows DO work, but sometimes you have to hold a switch down, let it go, and then hold the switch down again.  Car is available for viewing anytime or I am happy to help facilitate transportation to a local mechanics shop for inspection if requested.  No Reserve on listing... We really don't know what the car is worth.  We put a buy-it-now price that seems lower than similar condition cars sell for on AutoTrader Classic (fully restored are running $35k to $50k).    Please email with any questions...  Thanks and good luck bidding!

Watch the 2014 Cadillac CTS get its groove on in the rain

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

In case you haven't got enough of the 2014 Cadillac CTS that just debuted at the New York Auto Show, Cadillac has let us have some rolling footage of the car around its test track along with a few words from VP of marketing Don Butler and executive director of design Mark Adams.
You won't learn much more about its 420-horsepower, twin-turbo V6 but you can hear how it growls in the rain, and you can get a better idea of how you'll look in the driver's seat giving it a workout. That's got to be worth something, right? You'll find both videos just below.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014



The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.

Cadillac's Butler announces surprise departure

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Cadillac's vice president of global strategic development, Don Butler, has resigned. Butler has held the position since April, after a term as vice president of US marketing for General Motor's luxury brand.
As the report explains, the timing here is pretty unfortunate for Cadillac. Butler is the third high-profile member of Cadillac's brass to depart in recent months, following the firing of US sales boss Chase Hawkins and the pending departure of Susan Docherty. Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell told the Detroit paper, "Bob [Ferguson]," global boss for Cadillac, "and other leaders asked him to stay on. Don's here in the office today - and told our team that his decision is purely on a personal level. After three years of putting everything into Cadillac, he is stepping away for some personal time, and to consider new avenues in his life."
Butler says his decision is part of a decision to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities." Whatever the reason, it's an unpleasant surprise for Cadillac, which has been on a surge in 2013, with 30-percent jump in sales on the heels of the hot-selling ATS.
