This auction is for a super clean, all original, low mileage 1975 Cadillac Coupe DeVille with only 19292 miles on it! This beauty was used for 1 year until the warranty expired, from then on it was garaged and only taken out for shows. This is by far the cleanest all original car that I've ever come across...everything except the gasoline, the oils/etc, and possibly the battery are all original...even the tires! The car was owned by a supervisor at the Fisher Body plant in West Mifflin Pa and was babied since it was new. Since this was a bosses car, it rec'd top rate detail when brought in. This beauty has never been in any type of wreck or collision and runs like a top...all 500 Cubic Inches of it! The white leather interior is in super condition with no age cracks or splits and no yellowing at all...it still smells new. The dash is in perfect shape and you can hear the old school mechanical clock running when the car is turned off. The car has no corrosion or damage of any type, with the exception of two paint blisters (about the size of a dime) where the Landau roof meets the car body on the passenger's side. These were not there when the photos were taken but were discovered when the car was examined about two months ago. The only issues I saw concerned the rear right tail light trip (which is loose) but a spare is included. There is also a small crack in the plastic in the back corner of the bumper near the right tail light...it appears to be a typical plastic age crack, but pictures of it are included. The two teflon sleeves on the door closers will need replaced (not unusual for these to crack and fall off) and the drivers side high beam light adjuster will need replaced as the light looks a bit downward...a very small fix. The window on the passenger's side works properly, but since there is no frame for the window to fit into, the window doesn't always line up when it is closed with the door open...it work perfectly when the door is closed. The engine is a massive 500 CI monster that runs like it was new and the car runs on unleaded gasoline. The tires are original and still in very nice shape but the beginnings of some dry cracking is notable if it is looked at closely...the spare is a full sized spare and has never been removed from the massive trunk. New tires will be needed as the current tires are a bit too old for my liking, although they still hold and keep air. The trunk is big enough to hold a full set of luggage and still have a lot of room left over...it is huge! The car has a white vinyl or leather landau style roof with the front of the roof being painted the same forest green. The chrome on the car is in super shape with no pitting or corrosion...even the front grille is in great shape. I had difficulties getting the hood to open as the release cable feels like it has hung up and I had to open the hood from underneath. The hood is currently open and I put some penetrating oil down the release cable, but I am reluctant to close it again in the event the cable doesn't have enough working space to open the latch (it was very close to opening, but needed about 1/2 inch to open freely. There are no real problems with the original forest green paint and there really isn't any stone chips (with one exception, which is on the corner of the hood and shown in one of the pictures) or road caused issues...the paint is still very deep and glossy. The car has been taken care of better than most babies...this car must be seen to be fully appreciated...it is immaculate. The car is kept indoors and under a car cover...please look at the photos to get a better idea of the super shape this beauty is still in...you will have to wait a looong time to find a car in better condition and with less mileage. While this Cadillac is in great shape, please keep in mind that this is all original and hasn't been restored or worked on at all. I have listed all of the problems that I am aware of and will update any issues that I find. The car is nice, but it is NOT a new vehicle and is bound to have some small issues that have gone un-noticed or un-detected, but I have listed as many of them as I am aware of. The title is clear but, unfortunately, will be listed as a duplicate title due to a previous sale that wasn't completed but had writing on it...I don't think the title will xfer with this incorrect information written on it, so I will need to contact the Pa DMV to get a new title issued. I apologize for this as I know most collectors dislike duplicate titles but it was done before the sale was finalized and can't be fixed...I will pay for the cost of the new title. This car can be shipped to you or picked up in the Pittsburgh, Pa area. Please, no scammers or rip-offs...I'm too busy to play your games. Payment will be accepted via a certified check, money order, wire transfer, or even personal checks (I don't think Paypal goes this high)...but before the car leaves my possession the funds must clear the bank...no exceptions! The car had the original title and I will include this with the sale. The original Cadillac owner's manual is not in the glovebox...I don't have it and it wasn't in the car when I bought it. There are current plates on the car presently, but there were Antique Plates on it when I purchased it. Please feel free to contact me with any questions!!

Cadillac won't replace XTS after 2019
Mon, Apr 6 2015Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without a large sedan, but the definition of just which model fits that bill changed last week. Before the New York Auto Show, that role fell to the XTS. After the New York Auto Show, though, the focus shifted to the CT6. So what's to become of the XTS now that the CT6 has emerged? According to the latest intel, it'll live out the rest of its lifecycle until around 2019, but then drive off to its own funeral like so many limousines and hearses that were built off its platform. This was learned based on comments made by Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen at the closed-door unveiling of the CT6 in Manhattan: "Ultimately, a car like XTS when it reaches the end of its lifecycle, will not be replaced." That'll be bad news for the livery business that – in the post-Town Car era – has come to rely on the XTS as the basis for its stretch jobs. "We will not have a car that will lend itself to these kind of modifications and we will probably withdraw from those markets," de Nysschen told GM Inside News. That's not all the new Cadillac boss had to say, though: he also indicated that the replacements for the ATS and CTS will be positioned differently from the current models: "As we move into the future refining our sedan portfolio, there will be no direct successor to the CTS. There will be no direct successor to the ATS. There is no point to renaming those cars because in the future those cars will disappear." Based on Johan's comments and those we've heard until now, we'd expect the replacement for the ATS to move down a size to take on the likes of the Audi A3 and Mercedes CLA, and the CTS' successor to move down half a size class as well to give the new CT6 a bit more breathing room, and possibly an even larger flagship sedan to be positioned above them all.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Cadillac ATS to go racing in 2015 as CTS.V.R replacement
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Cadillac has been racking up victories with the CTS.V.R in Pirelli World Challenge racing for two model generations now, including recent GT class championships in 2012 and 2013. However, even winning racers eventually have to retire, and it looks like the CTS may be taking a bow at the end of the season. In its place, Caddy is reportedly working on a new racecar based on the ATS Coupe, and it might even get to compete internationally.
According to Racer, Pratt & Miller Engineering is leading the development and is already lapping the ATS racecar in Michigan for testing. It reportedly drops the CTS' V8 in favor of a twin-turbocharged V6 powering the rear wheels. Since this is the same team behind the hugely successful Corvette Racing program and the current CTS.V.R, the latest car appears to be in good hands.
The new model would also adhere to GT3 rules, according to Racer, and that might signal a big change for Cadillac's motorsports program. It means that the ATS could be sold to teams in the numerous series around the world that accept these vehicles. That would broaden the luxury coupe's exposure and put it up against GT3 racecars from premium brands, like Bentley, Porsche and McLaren. If it wins, the change could be a marketing bonanza for the brand.
