Maroon Convertible on 2040-cars
Glencoe, Illinois, United States

1964 Cadillac series
62 convertible, During my 6 years of ownership, a lot has been replaced and repaired, all with receipts. Now everything works (windows, top, 6 way seats,
wipers, interior and exterior lights, turn signals, signal seeking radio, antenna)
except for the factory A/C and the W/Squirters, neither of which is hooked up. There is NO heater. Mechanically: This is
my car’s strongest point. In terms of the 4 S’s, it starts , shifts
, steers and stops dependably . This car is
literally my driver so safety and reliability were non-negotiable. That’s where my $ went, that’s why I have confidence
in my Cadillac. Every summer, I take several
road trips of almost 200 miles
each, but my car never overheats , doesn’t burn oil and is rock steady every time I hit 100
mph (I cruise at 75/80 mph) Cosmetically: Although
my car gets thumbs up and even stops traffic (everyone from kids to grandmas loves
this Cadillac), it’s a driver with minor dings, faded spots, and scratches The chrome needs attention and there is very slight
bubbling in the driver’s lower door, but no one notices at 10/10. Wet sanding had been “overlooked” following its
last paint job. Thus the good news here is the potential to significantly improve the finish w/o the
cost of a new paint job. And, yes, it does pass the magnet test. The owner’s manual and the shop manual come with it, as does
my file, of course. What’s great here is this Cadillac is totally your call: a
turn-key summer cruiser or an apt candidate for restoration. Contact Jay Edelston

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
GM to build $1.3 billion Cadillac plant in China
Wed, 08 May 2013General Motors has gotten approval to build a $1.3 billion manufacturing facility for its Cadillac brand in China. China's National Development and Reform Commission signed off on plans for GM to build the plant in the country's Shanghai's Jinqiao zone; construction is expected to begin in June of this year. According to a Bloomberg report, the plant will have an annual production capacity of 150,000 units.
No surprise here, but Cadillac would like to sell a lot more cars in the plush Chinese luxury market. The brand moved only 30,010 cars in China last year, compared with 400k for Audi, and about 330k for BMW. With Cadillac already telling us that it would be moving production of its XTS sedan to China - a production decision that saves having to pay 25-percent import tariffs - approval of the factory is a critical win for the company.
In fact, according to earlier comments by GM China president Bob Socia, it's at least conceivable that Chinese-built Cadillacs could be shipped back to the US for sale. The brave new world of globalization, getting stranger by the minute.
Cadillac's de Nysschen won't budge on raised pricing
Thu, 18 Sep 2014According to new Cadillac boss Johan de Nysschen, it will take between 10 and 15 years to elevate GM's top brand, which was once hailed as "The Standard Of The World," back to prominence in the minds of American customers. And to hear the executive talk of it, the brand is going to have to be willing to see sales falter in the near-term before they recover:
"Either you have to bring your volume aspirations into alignment with reality and accept that you will sell fewer cars... Or you have to drop the price and continue to transact at the prices where you were historically... I think the logical conclusion is that it's better to build off a very solid base in terms of [product] credibility, charge a fair price for the car and realize you have to wait until the volume comes."
In other words, sales will fall before they rise, and the brand has to be okay with that. Notice, too, that de Nysschen speaks of "a fair price" for Cadillac cars and utility vehicles. In this case, "fair" means more than many of the brand's traditional buyers are accustomed to, and roughly in line with the brands and machines Cadillac believes it is competing against. For instance, the newly enlarged 2014 CTS carries a suggested retail price that is over $6,000 higher than it was in 2013, and some trim levels boast an even higher price premium over the models they replace.
