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.

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad

Fri, 05 Jul 2013

European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.

Opel pulls out of Russia, GM to focus on Cadillac, 'iconic' Chevys

Wed, Mar 18 2015

General Motors is going to realign its priorities in the struggling Russian marketplace, withdrawing its Opel brand and pulling out mainstream Chevrolet models. Instead, the General will take aim at Russia's well-established oligarchy, pushing Cadillac as well as "iconic" Chevrolet models, like the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," GM president Dan Ammann said in a statement. "This decision avoids significant investment into a market that has very challenging long-term prospects." Russian customers interested in an Opel or mainstream Chevys like the Spark, Aveo (the US market Sonic), Cobalt (shown above), Cruze, Orlando and the like have until December to snap up a car before the brands are pulled. "We do not have the appropriate localization level for important vehicles built in Russia and the market environment does not justify a major investment to further localize." Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said. GM will continue to offer service to customers in Russia. "We can assure our customers that we will continue to provide warranty, parts and services for their Chevrolet and Opel vehicles," Neumann said. Beyond realigning its brands in Russia, GM also announced that it would also be idling the company's factory in the country's second-largest city, St. Petersburg. This is the second time the St. Petersburg factory has been in the news – GM announced that it'd be idled for roughly two months back in February. Scroll down for the official press release from GM. GM to Change Business Model in Russia 2015-03-18 Focus on Cadillac and iconic Chevrolet vehicles Wind down Opel brand and sale of mainstream Chevrolet cars Idle GM Auto manufacturing facility in St. Petersburg Part of GM's strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in global markets DETROIT – General Motors today announced plans to change its business model in Russia. GM will focus on the premium segment of the Russian market with Cadillac and U.S.-built iconic Chevrolet products such as the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The Chevrolet brand will minimize its presence in Russia and the Opel brand will leave the market by December 2015. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," said GM President Dan Ammann.

Cadillac mulling CTS Coupe successor after all

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

The 2014 Cadillac CTS made a big splash last week at the New York Auto Show, but now that we've seen the sedan, we can start to wonder about whether coupe and wagon versions are in the cards. According to Edmunds, Cadillac is at least considering bringing back the CTS Coupe for a second generation, which seems like an even better chance since the brand's global marketing director, Jim Vurpillat, was quoted as saying that the car was the top-selling luxury coupe in the industry.
Of course, this goes against reports we heard last year that Caddy's coupe and wagon would live on just not under the CTS name, but the interview with Vurpillat has us hopeful for a next-generation CTS Coupe. If it does come to fruition, we would expect the new two-door to have a largely unique exterior design like the current CTS Coupe, to echo that of intended rivals like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe and even the high-dollar BMW 6 Series.
