This is my 1973 Cadillac Sedan DeVille with only 65,291 original miles. This car was purchased new at Clairmont Cadillac Corporation in Montclair, NJ on August 31, 1973 by Mr. Jack C. Tancrel, aged 55. Soon after, Mr. Tancrel retired to Florida and took the car with him. He kept the car garaged and perfectly maintained for the rest of his life. The original purchase price in 1973 was $6495.00 and I have all of the original dealer sales paperwork, warranty papers and even letters written back and forth to Cadillac for warranty work. I also have a stack of service records, paperwork and receipts dating back to new plus the original books and manuals. The list of paperwork and documentation is extensive; it documents the car from brand new. In 2007 the car was sold by his surviving spouse to their next-door neighbors in Florida. These folks are retired and keep a collection of classic American cars. They spend their winters in Florida and their summers here in Northeast Ohio. The car has not been exposed road salt or snow; it has either spent its winters in Florida or in a dry garage up north. This Cadillac has been outstandingly well-preserved. For a 40-year old car, it looks, runs and drives superbly well. This car has ALWAYS been perfectly maintained and well cared-for. Rarely will you find a 40-year old car like this with a fully documented history since new. This car has the original sales paperwork from new, and a huge stack of service records that are as recent as last year. The service records and maintenance history are beyond compare. The car was repainted once in 1985 and a superb job was done. This paint job looks excellent- the finish carries an excellent gloss and the car looks beautiful. There is no exterior body panel rust- this car is about 98% rust-free. It is completely solid in every way, including underneath. This is a superbly well-preserved car in gorgeous clean condition. The interior of the car is original, and it is in excellent condition. The seat upholstery, carpets and dash are clean and in very good condition. The interior has held up exceptionally well over 40 years. This car runs and drives outstandingly well. The engine starts and runs smoothly and it makes excellent power. The engine does not smoke or hesitate, nor does it show any undue fluid leaks. This is a quiet, comfortable and smooth vehicle. The brakes are powerful and stop well. The suspension is comfortable and tight, with no clunks. The steering is smooth and precise. This car drives and rides exceptionally well. This car has no known mechanical or electrical problems and it is ready to drive anywhere. I would not hesitate to drive this car across the country. They don't make cars like this anymore- big, heavy, body-on-frame, high-quality RWD American cars are part of our history. This car has the following equipment and options:
This car is a 1973 and as such it is not brand new. Please expect normal issues of wear and tear consistent with the age of the car. Here is a list of all known defects: The plastic front bumper fillers below the headlights are missing. There is some wear and rips in the carpet in the driver's footwell. There are a few small dings, plus other small nicks and defects in the paint and body. There are a few tiny bubbles in the paint, maybe a few below the window trim and inside the door jambs, etc. There is a nick at the front edge of the right rear door. The door trim on the right front door is slightly bent at the edge. The rubber bumper guards are somewhat shrunken, uneven and cracked. You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home. Alternatively you can have this car shipped- please call Angels Moving Autos at 530-245-0481 for a shipping quote. Questions, please email or call/text John at 440-339-4341. |

Weekly Recap: GM scales back as Russian auto market teeters
Sat, Mar 21 2015General Motors' extensive plans to scale back its Russian operations are the latest sign the automotive market in the former superpower is collapsing – and there are few signs of recovery. GM said Wednesday it will stop selling mainstream Chevrolets and shutter the entire Opel brand in Russia. The moves leave GM with a luxury-focused presence consisting of Cadillac and Chevrolet's Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The cutbacks will be completed by the end of the year. The automaker will also idle its factory in St. Petersburg and end a contract-assembly agreement with Russian manufacturer GAZ. "We had to take decisive action in Russia to protect our business," Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said in a statement. "We confirm our outlook to return the European business to profitability in 2016 and stick to our long-term goals." GM is the latest automaker to scale back in Russia as the economic conditions, volatile currency and uncertainty over the conflict in the Ukraine all have sandbagged new car sales. Last month, vehicle sales collapsed 38 percent in Russia to 128,298 units, according to the Association of European Business, which records sales. Joerg Schreiber, chairman of the AEB automobile manufacturers committee, didn't even feign optimism in a statement announcing the figures. "The market is entering a very difficult phase now, and February is only the beginning," he said. "Industry sentiment is the next few months will be extremely difficult and the market bottom has yet to be found." The dovetails with industry experts, who predict the Russian auto sector will remain in the doldrums. IHS said earlier this year it expects Russia's sales to slip to just 1.8 million units in 2015, which is a 40-percent drop from 2012. Other News & Notes Chief leads Jeep's Easter Safari stable Jeep is bringing seven attention-getting concepts to Moab for its annual Easter Safari off-roading celebration in Utah, but the Chief is perhaps the standout of the group. It salutes the 1970s Cherokee with a throwback appearance and surfer styling cues. The Chief has a custom modified razor grille made famous by the Wagoneer, and it rolls on 17-inch slotted mag wheels. The surf theme comes in with ocean blue paint, floral cloth and leather seats and a tiki-style shifter handle. Based on the Jeep Wrangler, the Chief has removable sides, a 3.6-liter V6 engine and a six-speed manual gearbox.
Cadillac logo losing its wreath?
Tue, 23 Jul 2013The easily recognizable Cadillac logo dates back to the company's founding in the early 1900s, but over the last 110 years, there has been an on-again, off-again love affair with the wreath surrounding the crest. Cadillac's current badge design has used the wreath since the 1980s, but Automotive News is reporting that GM's luxury division is planning to ditch the laurel wreath for a cleaner-looking logo.
The new logo could make its debut as early as next month on a new concept car that will be revealed at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, although the report also says that it might be until 2015 before it makes its way to a production car. Even then, it doesn't like anything has been finalized yet, as the article also says that plans could still change.
As Cadillac looks to improve its global presence as a luxury automaker, the report says that a simpler logo could make it easier for designers to incorporate the badge onto the car - either in the grille or above the grille (possibly in a fashion similar to Mercedes-Benz). Head on over to the AN article, which shows the Cadillac logo dating back to its earliest design.
Cadillac CT6 gets a plug in Shanghai, will come to US
Mon, Apr 20 2015Don't call it the third coming of the Chevy Volt. The unsurprising debut of the Cadillac CT6 PHEV in Shanghai today has a powertrain that sounds an awful lot like the one that can be found in the Volt and the Cadillac ELR. The plug-in CT6 – identical to the CT6 that debuted in New York earlier this month – has an 18.4-kWh lithium-ion battery (just like the 2016 Volt) and offers an all-electric range of around 37 miles. It also copies the "Regen on Demand" feature from the new Volt and the battery cells "use the latest generation cell chemistry found in other GM plug-in vehicles." But Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen doesn't see the two powertrains as similar in at least one important way. General Motors calls the Volt and the ELR "extended range electric vehicles" (EREV) but in a statement, de Nysschen says that the plug-in hybrid CT6 is, "an ideal platform for Cadillac to offer its first plug-in hybrid." That GM is using the PHEV terminology rather than EREV is going to be important to some, even if the practical difference is only semantic. And yes, we all understand the irony of de Nysschen – the same guy who has a history of speaking ill of plug-in cars – hyping them now. Back when he worked for Audi, he said the original Volt was too expensive for what it offered and was thus, a car for "idiots." Speaking in Shanghai today, de Nysschen said the new CT6 PHEV was, "an EV without any of the disadvantages or range constraints," according to Automotive News. If the batteries are similar to GM's other EREV/PHEV cars, the CT6 powertrain is at least different. The ELR uses a 1.4-liter engine, while the new Volt has a 1.5-liter four-cylinder mill. The CT6, on the other hand, has a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine with direct injection. There is also an "all-new rear wheel electric variable transmission (EVT) with exclusively designed motors," that will give the CT6 PHEV, "smooth, spirited acceleration." The EVT is a two-motor-unit that uses three planetary gears. Maximum overall system output is 335 horsepower and 432 pound-feet of torque. Perhaps most interesting for American audiences is the fact that GM's press release, available below, makes multiple references to US-market sales of the PHEV. Official details on the EV range and fuel economy will be made available closer to the car's US launch.
