I am selling my 1973 Cadillac Coupe Deville. I want to be perfectly clear and if anything under-represent this car because the last thing I want to do is sell something to someone and have them think it is one thing and it be another.

As you can see in the video the car is in nice shape and is original. I wouldn't go as far as to say that the car needs a restoration, however the exterior needs some attention. The car has ~40,000 miles. It was purchased in 1973 in Rhinelander, WI from Birginal Pontiac Cadillac. I have a bunch of old paperwork that goes with the car and it is very interesting to look through it all. I am the third owner of this car. I purchased it in the summer of 2011. It had about 37,000 miles on it when I picked it up. I bought it from the 2nd owners in Rhinelander, WI. The 2nd owners knew the original owners and purchased the car from their estate sale back around 1999. I love this car and it really is a fine car. I would like to hang onto it however, I have come to the realization that I do not have the time or excess funds to do the things that I want with it (paint job, minor body work, etc. etc.). So I figured I will let someone else take that project on. The car runs very strong. It cruises on the highway and really rides smoothly. When you start it, the car runs smooth, there is no color to the exhaust.. I have never had to add oil or anything like that between oil changes, but as you can imagine...a 41 year old car will leak a drop or two here or there. As I noted in the video, I have 100% confidence in driving this car ANYWHERE. I drove it 60+ mile round trips for days at a time to work and back when my everyday driver was being serviced. It is fun to drive and very reliable. The car shifts very smoothly and brakes well. I would say that this car needs nothing done to it mechanically and could be picked up and driven home anywhere. As seen in the youtube video, there is a trim piece on the front under the headlights that has cracked and come loose. Here are some of the car details:
7.7L V8, Auto, Power windows/locks/seats

Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you want to see the car. I can be reached by phone or email.  I can face time on iphone or ipad if you want to look over the car via video chat.

Recharge Wrap-up: LA Auto Show may feature updated Cadillac ELR, Uber expands Chicago HQ

Tue, Sep 30 2014

A Kentucky man has converted his 1939 Dodge pickup to an electric vehicle. Al Gajda of Lexington built the electric truck, which he now uses as his daily driver. "I take advantage of any excuse to drive it; just banging around town, errands, short runs on the interstate, delivering my granddaughter to school in the morning," he says. It is powered by a lithium-ion phosphate battery, which is mounted in a wooden box on the truck bed, and gets about 100 miles per charge. Read more at the Lexington Herald-Leader.

Don Draper's 1965 Cadillac Coupe de Ville up for auction

Mon, Aug 3 2015

Few have ever nor ever will embody the sheer confidence and style of Don Draper, the main character on the hit AMC drama Mad Men. But if you can't quite match his style, at least you can drive his car. Now that the series has now concluded its eight-year run, the studio behind it is selling off a whole mess of artifacts from the show through ScreenBid, a specialist Hollywood memorabilia auctioneer. There's a good 1,300 lots up for grabs, from props to costumes. But the lot that's caught our attention is this 1965 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. Don picked this car up in the fifth season and drove it until the penultimate episode. These are the wheels he (spoiler alert!) drove across the country, got repaired in Oklahoma, and ultimately gave to a kid working at the motel before making his way by bus to the Bonneville Salt Flats in the final episode. At the time of writing, bidding had reached $25,000 with four days still to go. Cadillac first used the de Ville as a trim level on the Series 62 before spinning it off into its own model line. 1965 was the first year of the third-generation de Ville, stretching a massive 224 inches (over 18 and a half feet!) long. Powering over 4,600 pounds of personal American luxury was an equally massive 7.0-liter V8 that drove 340 horsepower through a three-speed automatic transmission. The name wasn't retired until 2005 when the final DeVille (as it was styled by then) was replaced by the DTS, which itself was shorthand for DeVille Touring Sedan. Cadillac produced the last DTS in 2011, finally putting to rest a name that had, in one form or another, been used since 1949. Few cars had the kind of presence that the third-gen Coupe de Ville did, though, and Draper knew it. Or at least the show's producers did.

GM recalling 117,000 sedans, crossovers, SUVs, pickups and vans

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

General Motors has issued a stop-sale to dealers and has notified the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration of its intention to recall 117,000 vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Of those vehicles, only 4,500 are at dealerships.
The affected vehicles include the Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Impala sedans, fullsize SUVs (Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe and Suburban and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL), Lambda-platform crossovers (Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia), heavy-duty pickups (Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD) and fullsize vans (Chevy Express and GMC Savana). The sedans and body-on-frame SUVs include model years 2013 and 2014, while the CUVs, heavy-duty pickups and vans are limited to MY2014.
GM confirmed the recall to Autoblog via an emailed statement (which we've included below). According to the statement, the issue at hand in what is the company's 69th recall of 2014 covers the chassis-control module. Automotive News is reporting that a problem in the chassis-control system could cause a short in the module, which could cause the engine to stall or fail to start. The fault could also affect the trailer-brake control, provided it's equipped.
