As far as I am concerned, the 1966 Deville is one of the most beautiful cars ever produced.  If you have never really taken a good look at the dashboard and instrumentation of the 1966 Deville I urge you to do so, and take some time with it.  The materials used are of the highest quality and the design is such a spectacular combination of vintage bezeled gauges, brushed stainless and clean lines that the first time I saw it I really thought it was a custom treatment.  Just ponder the passenger side of the dashboard and tell me that it doesn't look as modern as anything on the road, but without a pesky airbag to fill up that incredible concave sweep into the meeting of the dash and door edge.  It is clear how someone back in 1966 would feel limitless pride at driving one of these beauties off the dealer lot and calling it their own.  

It was love at first sight for me, and I told myself I would never be without a 1966 Deville (coupe or sedan) in my collection.  This beautiful silver coupe Deville with 86,250 miles is one of two that I currently own.  I've included photos of the itemized repairs performed by the previous owner just before I purchased the car.  It was a very thorough going over and totalled about $3400, which included brakes from pedal to wheel, alternator, belts, carb rebuild, gas tank sealed and recoated inside, new distributor, thermostat, tune up, bulbs, ignition wires, new ball joints, undercoating and transmission service.   I have also made my own improvements.  I purchased four new whitewall tires, had an electronic ignition conversion professionally installed and replaced the power antenna.  Documentation on other work performed much earlier in the car's history is also included.  The plastic seat covers were added on September 9, 1978 and are a kitchy addition to the car's charm.  I considered removing them, but they are in such nice shape it seemed a shame to do so.  And you'll never worry about getting anything on the seats, because it just wipes off!   

I have put about 1,200 miles on the car during my ownership and it has been a joy to drive and proof why Cadillac was once the gold standard of the automotive world.  I have my Deville advertised elsewhere as well, so that I may end this listing early if an acceptable offer of purchase or trade is made.  I am a big fan of late '60's and early '70's Mopar products as well.  Thank you for your interest.

Cadillac scraps three-row CUV plans

Fri, 23 May 2014

Crossovers are one of the hottest automotive segments on the planet. Apparently, the idea of mixing the practicality of a station wagon with the looks of an SUV appeals to people whether they are in Cleveland or Shanghai because nearly every automaker is jumping into the market. So it was no surprise when early rumors suggested Cadillac was planning two, new CUVs to fit above and below the SRX. But things might have changed since then.
New rumblings indicate Caddy is taking a different route. Instead of two crossovers, only the compact is on the way, and the larger, three-row CUV on the Lambda platform to sit between the SRX and Escalade may be a goner. According to Ward's Auto, General Motors thinks that the other three-row, Lambda vehicles like the Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia compete too closely with the proposed Cadillac. The decision comes fairly close to the 2017 intended production date.
As far back as 2010, this Lambda-platform based CUV was considered highly likely for production. However, Cadillac Senior Vice President Bob Ferguson was somewhat cooler about it when he discussed the new crossover briefly last year. He said the model could use the Escalade name, despite its unibody chassis, but no decision had been made yet to actually produce it.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
