Immaculate Original 51k Mile #10 Sable Black Beauty Out Of Private Collection! on 2040-cars
Summerfield, North Carolina, United States
1966 Cadillac DeVille Convertible Original #10 Sable Black *** 51,336 Original Miles *** Factory Triple Black "A stunning example of open air Cadillac style in Elegant Sable Black!" OFFERED FOR SALE is what I believe to be the nicest original DeVille Convertible I have seen in some time. Sold new on March 2, 1966 at CENTRAL CADILLAC Co. in Cleveland, OH, this factory original #10 Sable Black car with original black interior and top that has just 51,336 original miles and has been meticulously maintained since new. This DeVille Convertible has had the good fortune of being well cared for since it was new and it's condition speaks volumes. With the exception of a single re-paint, it is unrestored and has the appearance of a car that might be just a few years old. The interior, dash pad, door panels, instrumentation, bezels, lenses are all in excellent condition. The exterior bumpers, bezels, lenses, rubber trims, side moldings, grille are all excellent as well. The body is arrow straight (and a black car tells all) and the paint presents so well that it has the look and patina of amazingly well cared for original. Features on this DeVille are Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Seats, AM-FM with power antenna, Power Windows, and Tilt-Telescopic Wheel. Being what I imagine was Nick L.'s "summer love" and a convertible, he probably figured the top would be down when he was driving it so the car wasn't equipped with A/C....However, I always felt the addition of factory A/C would be the greatest gift an owner could afford upon such a outstanding car so I purchased a parts car that was factory A/C equipped so that it could be retrofitted, and that car is included with the sale. It has the engine (which runs on a remote fuel bottle) still in place and has all the hardware, mounting brackets, heater/evaporator box, water pump housing, as well as a nice lower dash panel with the eyeball vents. I would expect that the cost for a professional installation including new correct components might run $4000-$5000 with labor but it would be worth 2x the expense to a car of this caliber. Included in the sale are the original Protect-o-Plate, Owner's Manuals, and original blue vinyl holder. You will not find a nicer correct triple Black 1966 Cadillac Convertible on the market today......It will not last! "Nothing evokes the style and elegance of the 1960's more than a Sable Black Cadillac convertible".......What a well preserved example for your collection....What a great way to enjoy a bygone era. Call or email with any questions: 336-202-8762. Thank you!

Cadillac dealers frustrated over Escalade production snarls
Wed, 20 Aug 2014Lincoln went through it during the launch of the MKZ last year, Jeep went through something similar with its Cherokee launch, and now the 2015 Cadillac Escalade has apparently caught the bug: dealer delivery delays because of quality control checks. Automotive News reports that Cadillac dealers have been waiting three times longer than usual - a month or more - from the time an Escalade leaves the assembly line to when it gets delivered. Worse, dealers are saying they don't always know where their vehicles are in transit, or when they are set to arrive. The situation has upset customers who have put down deposits and things have gotten so bad that some dealers have reportedly stopped taking pre-orders.
Cadillac says it has the delay, called "dwell time," down to two weeks, and it expects to cut that to a week by the beginning of September. The company said "a lengthy quality-assurance process on some interior parts" has caused the lag, the report citing additional issues with figuring out which vehicles should be delivered first. A spokesman said that more trucks have been put in the distribution system to work through the backlog, but it's clear it's still going to take some time to set things right, with one dealer telling AN that cars ordered in February and March still haven't arrived.
Brand chief Kurt McNeil said additional personnel are at the Escalade's Arlington, Texas factory to speed up the checks, and spreadsheets tracking every order have been distributed to field staff. Even with the snafu, though, the Escalade is Cadillac's best seller through July.
A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
