NO RESERVE!!!   The SEVENTH picture you see is what the car looked like when I purchased it over a year ago. I bought the car to experiment with giving a car a natural patina look and using my art skills I accomplished a bad-ass look on the hood, top, and trunk lid, the remainder of the car I was more subtle and had to be because the front left and right fenders are abs plastic and I painted them to look rusted (see photos). I bought this car from the second owner who was a Union 76 service station owner in my town. The title is clear and in my name, this is NOT a flip or story about the car is a friend's and I'm selling it for them... This is my car! With that out of the way, at 142,466 miles the car was given a new set of Michelin Harmony 95T tires all the way around. P205/70R15, a full lube job, windshield wipers, smog inspection( and yes it did pass, California is real particular about that). At the same time, the serpentine belt was replaced, the cooling system was serviced, and the car was made road ready. It's fun to drive and you definitely get the looks, more on that in a minute. Yes, the wheels are orange, they are NOT painted, they were professionally powder-coated by Armando at PERMACOLOR in my town. Center caps were purchased new on ebay and installed. On December 3, 2012 a new First Interstate battery was installed, along with BG pad protectors. The car was professionally lowered by the award-winning team at Scott's Hotrods N Customs in Oxnard, Ca. Cadillacs have an automatic load lifter so when people sit in the back seat the car will raise up, this was disconnected, but not removed and if desired it can be reconnected. The factory radio works only sometimes, it has a cassette player, but I will include a new Kenwood KDC stereo radio and CD player in the box in the purchase... ya gotta have tunes. There is a crusty bubble at the side rear of the drivers side, just up and left of the gas filler door. (see photos) and the trunk will close, but it's a little tricky and does take some finesse. Dependable, YES... I had the car gone through so that it is always road-ready, starts right up  and when you put your foot down, the car knows what you want to do., Headlamps, turn signals, brake lights, dome light, door lights, back up lights, license plate lights all work, gauges work fine and the mileage is true. Brakes are fine and the tranny and engine perform as they should. Lots of room in this car. The interior is white and in great condition, although the seats could use a good scrubbing, personally, I would have them dyed white, it's faster and they would look new if you did. The carpet and dash are blue, vinyl top is in good condition. I addedd a Stroh's Beer Tap to the selector, it's old, since it has Detroit 26, Michigan rather than a zip code on it. (see photo) I yellowed the front turn signals and blacked out the grille center see photo and compare to the original shot of the car. 

The oil was changed on January 2, 2013 with Castrol Syntec, and of course the filter was changed, fittings lubricated and all the usual belts, brakes, lights, tire pressure, etc. were checked and are fine. When the car was lowered it was pointed out to me that the left ilnner tie rod end should be replaced and it was on January 21, 2013, On that same day the transmission cooler hoses and clamps were repaired and a new transmission filter kit and fluid were installed.  There's a small leak with the oil pan gasket, but I'm just telling you, because I know what it is like to purchase a vehicle online. It's not worth the cost to change it, but if you're a wrencher, go ahead. I would also suggest replacing both valve cover gaskets. I had the engine and under-chasis professionally degreased... In California, this is something that you have to go to a pro; You can't just do it in your driveway... big fine if you get caught.. and it was only a hundred bucks. Put the key in, start it up and go. NOW, about the pictures: The hood, top, and trunk were originally painted to look rusty... but I wanted a great patina, so I ground, used a little magic liquid, and then clear coated to bring out that brown patina we all love. The front fenders I've described. I had a sign painter paint the doors with advertising from an a place that use to exist in Detroit (which is where I use to live, but moved to Ca. in 1978). That's why the rear license plate, which is abs plastic is painted to look rusty and says Detroit, there's a tiger in the back window (as in Detroit Tiger), there's a Stroh's beer tap on the selector... and, by the way, that's a 1955 Chevrolet hood ornament I used to replace the standard Cadillac emblem on the hood. The signs painted on the front doors has been sanded and is barely visible now, to make it look like it has weathered over the years.  I've popped off the side plastic... ugly... the trim over the rear wheels and the mirror casings are plastic but painted to look rusty (see photos), and the rear tail light surrounds and between the trunk lid and bumber are a kind of rubber/plastic, but painted to look like they are rusting.... This was something I wanted to try on a car to get the effect... I would suggest painting the sides slightly with a matte dark blue so that the rust will work through and then clear coat the car... If you're not building and customizing your car, you're probably wasting time in front of the TV. Thank you for looking at this auction and I hope you enjoy the car as much as I have. There's a low reserve and please take a look at the photos to get a better idea of the "LQQK" of the car. Of course, this vehicle is sold as-is, where-is and it is the buyers responsibility to arrange transportation or pick-up of vehicle within 5 days of close of sale.

Cadillac electric crossover will be revealed in April

Mon, Feb 17 2020

Cadillac will unveil a midsize electric crossover in April, brand President Steve Carlisle told dealers at the National Auto Dealer Association (NADA) Convention Monday. The new crossover will be Cadillac's first all-electric vehicle.  The New York Auto Show is April 10-19, with press days April 8-9. It's unclear whether the Cadillac reveal would happen there, or as a standalone event before or after. Per Automotive News, Carlisle told the assembled representatives that Cadillac has big plans for transitioning from an all internal-combustion lineup to one anchored in electric cars.  "We enter this decade as an internal combustion engine brand. We want to position ourselves to exit as a battery-electric brand, so we have to manage both at the same time," he said.  Early last year, Cadillac teased the new midsized crossover, telling us to expect it to come in two- and four-wheel-drive flavors and to be offered as a global model. The last we heard of GM's plans to electrify its luxury brand came in December, when Carlisle laid out an aggressive plan to switch over its entire lineup by 2030.  Just a week later, parent company GM canceled its plans to appear at CES earlier this year because the model it planned to showcase was not ready to be unveiled due to delays introduced by the UAW strike last fall.  Not even two weeks after the tech show concluded, GM introduced of the self-driving Cruise Origin at a private event in San Francisco, prompting speculation that it was the original subject of GM's CES plans. Whether the Cruise Origin or Cadillac's new mystery midsizer was to bow at CES, there's only one left to reveal now.  Cadillac has been keeping news of its future EV offerings largely on the back burner. The brand has been busy effectively re-launching its entire lineup — an effort that will culminate with the rollout of the new Escalade SUV later this year.  In Carlisle's NADA remarks, he indicated that Cadillac dealers will learn more about the company's plans at a meeting in September.    Green Cadillac GM Crossover Concept Cars Electric Future Vehicles Luxury

A pair of different but awesome Hondas star in the latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack

Mon, Feb 6 2017

Forza Horizon 3's ever-expanding car list grows again with its latest downloadable car pack. This time it packs a pair of Hondas from opposite ends of history. In fact they use opposite drive wheels, too. The first, representing the modern day and front-wheel drive, is the previous generation, 300-horsepower, 2016 Honda Civic Type R. From the early days of Honda automobiles, and with rear-wheel-drive, is the 1970 Honda S800. It has substantially less than 300 horsepower. The Civic Type R isn't the only hot hatch in the pack either. The Vauxhall Corsa VXR provides a European counterpoint to the Honda, albeit a bit smaller. It features less power – about 200 hp in all – but should be an excellent match to the Fiesta ST. The pack also features a couple of high-dollar, high-horsepower machines in the form of the 2017 Aston Marin DB11 and the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V. Plus, for fans of older cars, there's the rear-engined Renault Alpine GTA Le Mans, and a Holden with a really long name: the 1985 HDT VK Commodore Group A. View 7 Photos As usual, the pack is included with the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass. Or, if you don't have the pass, the pack can be purchased on its own.

Editors' Picks February 2021 | Ford F-150, Genesis GV80, Mazda CX-30 and more

Wed, Mar 10 2021

If we’ve driven and reviewed it, thereÂ’s an Autoblog Rating for it. ItÂ’s been over two years since we launched a new rating system to help you evaluate cars at a glance. We tweaked and improved it along the way and quickly arrived at a consistent process for giving each and every car on sale today a fair score. Cars that are exemplary or stand out in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. Every car we rate gets a score from 1 to 10, making it easy for you to tell if itÂ’s a car worth pursuing and possibly purchasing. YouÂ’ll find the scores of previously-rated cars attached toward the top of our written reviews. For example, the Bronco SportÂ’s rating can be found here. The Acura TLXÂ’s rating is in this post, and the Nissan RogueÂ’s rating is right here. There are hundreds of examples to be found. The above examples make up the most natural ways to find the Autoblog rating when researching for your next car, but starting today, weÂ’re going to begin calling out each new set of Editors' Picks per month in their own breakout stories. This will put the newest and most recently refreshed cars on sale on a pedestal for you to see which ones are worth your while. WeÂ’ll typically rate anywhere between 5-10 new cars per month, so you can count on just a select few from those to make this list. Expect to see this recurring ratings post each month going forward, and read on for FebruaryÂ’s EditorsÂ’ Picks.   2021 Genesis GV80 2021 Genesis GV80 View 18 Photos Quick take: The stylish GV80 offers useful safety features, compelling design and sporty dynamics to push it near the top of the segment. Genesis takes risks with this aggressive crossover, and the result is a luxurious vehicle that is rewarding to drive. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Lincoln Aviator, Volvo XC90, BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, Acura MDX, Lexus RX Pros: Beautiful design, good road manners, awesome value Cons: Small third row and cargo space, less comfortable standard suspension  From the editors: Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore — “The GV80 is a hugely important vehicle for Genesis. It makes a style statement, has an elegant interior and is a compelling all-round execution. It looks like a Bentley, and I give Genesis props for taking some risks with the GV80 and largely pulling it all off.
