1969 Cadillac Deville Convertible.  This is a running, driving, Cadillac Convertible. It starts easily, the engine sounds good, and it shifts and stops properly. The power steering and power brakes work well. I have a clear title in my name.  This car is an excellent candidate for a restoration project.  You could drive it while you go through the restoration process.  Please look closely at all of the photos. There are some trim pieces in the trunk and one of the fender skirts. There are fender skirts for sale on Ebay for around $100.  The reserve price on my Cadillac Convertible is well below its value. I will gladly help the new owner in shipping the Cadillac anywhere in the world. The shipping expense is the new owner's responsibility.

I want the new owner to know exactly what they are getting.  With this in mind, I will explain in detail the problem areas of the car. 1. The convertible top is tattered and needs to be replaced. The top bows are in good condition, and the top bows align properly with the front windshield. 2. There is old body work that was not done very well.  Metal was welded in, but not properly finished.  The white color hides the problems, but on close inspection you can see that additional finishing is needed. Again, please look closely at the photos. The floors are dry and not rusted through. The body is straight and the doors align and close properly. The hood hinge on the passenger's side needs adjustment. 3. The tires are not good, and it is missing the spare tire. 4. The top motor is missing.  The top can be put up and down by hand, but the motor needs to purchased. The top needs to be replaced and the glass rear window is missing. 5. One hubcap is missing. 6.  The power windows work, but the passenger's side door window is slow, and the driver's side rear window will not come all the way up. 7. The trunk lock does not work properly, and repair parts for the trunk come with the car. 8. The dash pad has some cracks. 

 If you have any questions about the car please don't hesitate to give me a call.  My phone number is (801) 745-5835 or use the Ebay message system.  If you have less than 5 positive feedback in your Ebay feedback score, please email or call me before bidding.  I want this to be a good straightforward auction.  A $500.00 deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction closing unless other arrangements are made.

Cadillac tipped to call flagship something other than LTS

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without large sedans in its lineup, and while the XTS has had to hold down that end of the fort all on its own, it won't have to for too long. That's because the luxury brand in the General Motors portfolio is preparing to roll out its new LTS, stylistically previewed by the Elmiraj concept pictured above. Only now, the latest thinking is that the upcoming flagship model may not be called LTS at all.
As Automotive News points out, Cadillac's naming scheme is all over the place at the moment. The ATS slotting below the CTS makes sense (alphabetically), but where do the ELR, SRX and especially the Escalade fit into that naming hierarchy? And how would LTS - as the project has been known until now - sit above the XTS?
Fortunately, Cadillac may be on the case, as two of the division's most recent senior appointments seem keen to rationalize the naming scheme. One is Uwe Ellinghaus, who joined Cadillac as chief marketing officer late last year. Speaking of the brand's nomenclature last spring, Ellinghaus was quoted as saying, "We are aware that this is currently a weakness of the Cadillac brand." And his new boss is bound to agree.

Liberace's gilded Cadillac could be yours

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

With their chrome grilles and oversized wheels, it's hard not to notice a Cadillac these days. But this one is even more blingtastic on account of the 23.75-karat gold-leaf bodywork.
The 1931 Cadillac Golfer's Drop Head Coupé is said to have belonged to the inimitable performer Liberace, who didn't just have it covered in gold - he also had the exterior door handles plated in silver and the inside handles in 24-karat gold as well. It's also got a white leather interior and headlights that - well ahead of their time (if you'll pardon us, Mr. Tucker) - pivot with the steering wheel. All that bling is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission that pales in comparison to the seven, eight and even nine-speed gearboxes appearing on luxury sedans today.
The project was undertaken over the course of three years in the 1970s by one Jack Smith from Kansas. Smith (if that was his real name) sold it at auction in 1975, and it was most recently displayed for 12 years at a museum in Germany which claimed it was Liberace's own. The car is now going up for sale by Barons' at the Sandown Park horse racing track in Surrey, England, on September 17, when bidding starts at 85,000 pounds - equivalent to over $130,000 at today's rates.

Despite strong profits, GM still fighting flat market share

Fri, Jan 17 2014

Looking at the progress General Motors has made since it entered bankruptcy, it's easy to forget that the company still has a long way to go before it's the juggernaut it once was. A recent report from Reuters points out that, while GM is making money, it isn't making any gains in terms of US market share. Quite the opposite, really. Consider this factoid: In 1963, nearly half of the cars sold in the United States were from Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC or Pontiac. Now, the company's US market share is stagnant at 17.9 percent. That same number is half of just Chevy's 1963 market share. This is all despite GM going on a binge replacing or updating its models. "Market share increases are not instantaneous," Mark Reuss told Reuters at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. "We've got a lot of baggage. Don't underestimate what people though of us, or these brands, through these hardships and 30 years." The reasons for the stagnant market share are numerous. Reuters points out that retooling of factories and a focus on limiting incentives are both good things for profit, but not necessarily for market share. There's also the troubling turnover of the brand's marketing department. These issues don't change the fact that Chevrolet has lost 1.4 percent of its market share in two years, and that Cadillac - arguably GM's most improved brand overall - has lost 1.2 percent in the same period. Part of that can be blamed on GM's avoidance of fleet sales in favor of more profitable customer sales. "Our focus has really been on retail and that's where we've got the growth," said Alan Batey, GM's interim global marketing boss. "We want to grow GM and that means growing market share and profits, but it's not at all costs," Reuss said.
