1966 CADILLAC DEVILLE CONVERTIBLE.  THIS IS A RUNNING, DRIVING, CADILLAC.  I HAVE A CLEAR TITLE IN MY NAME. IT SHIFTS SMOOTHLY, AND STOPS AS IT SHOULD.  THE ENGINE SOUNDS GOOD, BUT SMOKES WHEN FIRST STARTED.  IT HAS POWER WINDOWS, POWER TOP, AND POWER SEATS.  SOME OF THE WINDOWS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY, AND THE POWER TOP DOES NOT WORK.  THE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, HORN, AND POWER STEERING WORK PROPERLY.  THE AIR CONDITIONING IS COMPLETE, BUT DOES NOT WORK.  THERE ARE RUST ISSUES ON BOTH SIDES THAT IS CLEARLY SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. ALL OF THE GLASS, INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL REAR WINDOW GLASS, IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  PLEASE LOOK CLOSELY AT ALL OF THE PHOTOS.  I WANT TO BE SURE ALL BIDDERS KNOW EXACTLY THE CONDITION OF MY CADILLAC.  WITH THIS IN MIND I WILL ATTEMPT TO DETAIL THE PROBLEM AREAS:

1. THE FLOORS AND FRAME ARE DRY AND RUST FREE, BUT THE SIDE BODY PANELS AND TRUNK HAVE RUST BUBBLES SHOWING THROUGH THE ORIGINAL PAINT.  (AGAIN LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PHOTOS)
2. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NEEDS ATTENTION.  THE POWER WINDOWS AND TOP DO NOT WORK PROPERLY.  THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WINDOW WORKS AS IT SHOULD.  THERE IS A NEW SET OF POWER TOP RUBBER SEALS, AND USED POWER WINDOW MOTORS THAT COME WITH THE CAR.  
3. THE CENTER CENTER SECTION OF THE GRILLE HAS BEEN DAMAGED.  BOTH SIDE SECTIONS OF THE GRILLE ARE GOOD.  THERE IS A MINOR DENT ON ONE SIDE OF THE REAR PANEL, ABOUT THE SIZE OF MY HAND.   OVER ALL THE BODY IS STRAIGHT.
4. I RECENTLY DROVE THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES IN 95 DEGREE HEAT, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE DID NOT OVERHEAT.  AS I MENTIONED, THE ENGINE SMOKES.  I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS BECAUSE THE CAR HAS SET FOR A LONG TIME, OR IF IT NEEDS A RING AND VALVE JOB.
5.  THE INTERIOR, PARTICULARLY THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR PANEL, NEEDS ATTENTION.  THE FRONT SEAT ARE IN GOOD CONDITION, BUT THE REAR SEAT APPEAR TO SUN DAMAGE.  THERE IS A BOLT OF ORIGINAL SEAT MATERIAL THAT COMES WITH THE CAR.  A TONNEAU COVER FOR THE TOP BOOT IS ALSO INCLUDED.

A $500 PAYPAL DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION, UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE.  PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO END THE AUCTION EARLY.  IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 5 POSITIVE EBAY FEEDBACKS, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING.  I WANT THIS TO BE A GOOD, STRAIGHT FORWARD, AUCTION.

GM recalling Cadillac ATS, XTS, Chevy Impala over faulty brake lamps

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

General Motors has issued a recall covering 1,627 sedans over faulty brake lamps. Both the 2013 Cadillac ATS and XTS are affected by this problem, as is the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
According to an official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, "the brake lamps may intermittently flash without the brakes being applied and the cruise control may disengage" on these vehicles. The report does not state that the brakes themselves are faulty, but rather that "if the brake lamps flash when the vehicle is not slowing, a following driver may not adjust vehicle speed when the vehicle is in fact braking."
This marks the first recall for the 2013 Cadillac ATS, as well as the recently introduced 2014 Chevy Impala. In late 2012, over 12,000 Cadillac XTS models were recalled due to a head restraint issue.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.

Why we can't have better headlights here in the U.S.

Tue, Mar 13 2018

It wouldn't be a European auto show if we weren't teased with at least one mainstream vehicle we can't have here. At the Geneva Motor Show last week, the small but vocal contingent of shooting-brake buffs lamented that the Mazda6 wagon won't be coming to our shores, although they can take comfort in the fact that the vehicle won't get the torquey 250-horsepower 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine we'll get here. Mercedes-Benz also announced a new headlight technology in Geneva that likely won't be available here anytime soon. It's just the latest in a long line of innovative and potentially lifesaving front-lighting solutions that the federal government doesn't allow in this country due to outdated standards — and a current lack of leadership at the U.S. Department of Transportation. Mercedes-Benz's new Digital Light system that debuted in Geneva uses a computer chip to activate more than a million micro-reflectors to better illuminate the road ahead. The Digital Light headlamps works with the vehicle's cameras, sensors and navigation mapping to adjust lighting for the given location and situation and to detect other road users. The Digital Light technology also serves as an extended head-up display of sorts by projecting symbols on the pavement ahead to alert drivers to, say, slippery conditions or pedestrians in the road. And it can even project lines on the road in a construction zone or through tight curves to show the driver the correct path. Digital Light will be available on Mercedes-Maybach vehicles later this year, although like any technology it's bound to trickle down to less expensive vehicles. That is, if we ever get it here in the U.S. Audi, a leader in automotive lighting, has repeatedly run into snags trying to bring state-of-the-art car headlights to the U.S. The German luxury automaker's recently introduced matrix laser headlight system, which performs many of the same trick as Mercedes-Benz's Digital Light, also isn't legal on U.S. roads. And five years after the introduction of its matrix-beam LED lighting, which illuminates more of the road without blinding oncoming motorists with brights by simultaneously operating high and low beams, Audi still can't bring that technology to the U.S. either.
