     1969 Cadillac Convertible.  In 1969, the DeVille Convertible was the only convertible offered by Cadillac.  This is a good running car and I have a clear title in my name. On July 9, 2013, I drove the car over 35 miles with the temperature at 98 degrees in "stop and go" traffic.  The car performed very well and did not over heat.  The engine runs good and has no unusual noise.  The car shifts smoothly and stops well.  The power steering and power brakes work as the should.  

     Please look closely at all of the photos. This car is still a restoration project, but the hard work has been completed.  The floors, including the truck floor, are dry and have been repaired with metal. It has new carpets covering new sound proofing insulation, and painted with rust prohibitive.  The engine has had a recent tune up and runs well.  All of the door and body seams align properly.  The doors open and close properly as does the hood and trunk.
     This was a "father and son" project that almost got finished, but financial problems forced the sale of the car.  I want the new owner to know exactly what they are getting.  With this in mind, I will list the negative aspects of the car in detail. (Keep in mind, this is a smooth running car that can be driven.) 
1. The minor rust issues in the floor have been professionally repaired with metal and sealed with a rust preventive. There are still rust issues in the driver's side front fender and along the driver's side rear fender.  There is some paint bubbling in the trunk lid and some paint chips on the hood.  Again, please look closely at the photos.  I have taken close up photos of the problem areas and I have supersized them to assist in evaluating the condition of the car. 2. The convertible top is tattered and needs to be replaced.  The original glass window is still in place, but the header is rusted beyond repair. (I have found several headers on Ebay, but they are expensive.)  3. The electrical system is complete, but needs work.  Some of the power windows work, but some don't. The glass is good in all of the windows. 4. The power top works and is complete, but again, the switch needs to be reconnected to the motor. 
     All of the parts to the top are in the trunk along with the headrests, seat belts, and trim pieces. If you have any questions, please give me a call. My name is Bob, and my home phone number is (801) 745-0599.  I'm a retired teacher and I will gladly explain the car to you and answer any of your questions.  
     I will gladly ship the car anywhere in the world. A $500. PayPal Deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction closing. If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks in your ebay feedback score, please call me before bidding.  I want this to be a good, straightforward, auction. The reserve on the car is well under its value.  Please look at my feedback - I want to keep my 100% positive feedback score and I want the new owner to be completely satisfied with the car.

eBay Find of the Day: Ryan Gosling Eldorado from Lost River

Thu, Apr 9 2015

What's better than a car connected to Ryan Gosling? A car connected to Ryan Gosling and Matt Smith (the eleventh Doctor Who for our less nerdy readers). This 1966 Cadillac Eldorado convertible is driven by Smith in Lost River, Gosling's directorial debut. The movie was filmed in Detroit, with plenty of footage at the Packard factory, and the car is located in the nearby enclave of Hamtramck. Truth be told, this car has questionable star appeal and it needs a lot of work. Lost River currently holds a 20% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I've never seen an episode of any Doctor Who – a fact that amazes Seyth Miersma. And while I agree with Kroll Show character Wendell Shawn that Gosling is a "beautiful idiot," that's not enough for me to buy a car with an exhaust leak. The body on this Eldorado looks clean, but there is plenty of restoration work for the next owner. The listing states that most of the exterior and trim needs to be installed, and the front seats are in rough shape. Other details are vague – the carburetor "might need to be rebuilt" and the radiator and fan "may need to be replaced" but neither statements explain why. On the upside, the 340 horsepower (gross rating), 429 cubic inch V8 runs well. Reserve is not met at the current price of $4,000, but this could be a chance to get a classic '60's convertible for cheap.

Cadillac moving to NY as separate business unit

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

Cadillac is under new leadership, and the automaker is committed to turning itself (back) into a global luxury powerhouse. It's got a strong product offensive (of products currently in showrooms, and much more on the way), and now it will have a new location to call home.
Following earlier speculation, GM has confirmed that it is moving Cadillac's base of operations from Detroit to New York. Lest you think it might rent offices in the Chrysler Building (which is, after all, one of the tallest in the city), the new Cadillac global headquarters will be located in the Soho area with a "multipurpose brand and event space in conjunction with modern loft offices." The company is still evaluating which staff will move along with it to Manhattan, and which will remain in Michigan where technical operations will still be based.
The move from Detroit to New York is the first major change being instituted by new Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen, who previously undertook a similar shift in moving Infiniti away from Nissan headquarters to its own facility in Hong Kong. Ford had attempted a similar move in relocating its luxury portfolio under the Premier Automotive Group (which then included Lincoln, Mercury, Land Rover, Jaguar, Aston Martin and Volvo) from Dearborn to Irvine, CA, but ended up moving Lincoln (the last one still under the Ford umbrella) back to Michigan. Other luxury automakers like Audi (Volkswagen) and Maserati (Fiat) are headquartered away from their parent companies as well, but have a longer history of independent operation.

Johan responds to critics again about Cadillac's NY move

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Cadillac's new President Johan de Nysschen has faced a fair amount of criticism since assuming his position at the head of the American luxury manufacturer. From the company's move to New York City to a controversial new naming scheme, the first few months of his tenure have not been smooth sailing. Now, the embattled exec is firing back against his critics, notably Automotive News Editor-in-Chief Keith Crain, in a new column running in AN.
De Nysschen countered Crain's claim that the move to the Big Apple, "can only mean that someone wants to live in New York."
"The relocation decision is entirely unrelated to the personal living preferences of any Cadillac executive. No corporation would tolerate such indulgence by its leadership," de Nysschen wrote. "It is about structurally entrenching a challenge to the status quo by reinforcing the psychological and physical separation in business philosophy between the mainstream brands and GM's luxury brand."
