Here we have 2, yes count them, TWO 6-window 1960 Cadillac 4 Door Deville Pillarless Hard Tops. BOTH of them have straight bodies and are survivors. BOTH of them are solid restoration candidates. BOTH of them have solid chrome trim with no missing pieces. I am on the fence between building one REALLY good one out of them and parting the rest, or letting someone else have this project. Why?? - because it will take me forever - I just don't have enough time to work on these right now, and my money is tied up. Otherwise I would just hold onto them.
The white one is a Coupe DeVille with all the high class options. It runs well (no smoke or wierd noises, tranny shifts perfect...) it drives - see below. The grey one is a Coupe Calais (which is just a DeVille with less interior trim and crank windows) ...or at least that is how I think the models worked. Grey one is a one-owner car. Not that it matters much at this point.
Here are the details on the white one. It has its original 390 V-8 (56,000 actual miles), Automatic Trans, Power Steering, Power Brakes (master brake cylinder not building pressure so brakes are not working), Power Windows and Power Seats. It basically was an all original car that the prior owner was driving on special occasions until he parked it 12 years ago. It needed some body work down low so he had that repaired and a paint job done back then. The overall outside of the body is decent. Some old repair on the bottom of front fenders and lower rear quarters showing. The bondo didn't like the storage and so it needs significant prep to get a good paint job on it. Drivers side inner rocker is rusted out and one of the floor braces between the 2 doors on the drivers side are rusted out. I cleaned out the original matting in the trunk. The floor is intact but is getting thin.
Roof has a small dent on drivers side. The hood on the car is rusty and is junk. Engine was hooked up to a boat tank (just in case the car's tank had dirt), cleaned the points and the car fired right up. Power steering works beautiful. Transmission goes in all the gears. Brakes will work once the master cylinder is replaced. It is not building pressure. If this is a concern for shipping we can get a new master cylinder and get the brakes working at an additional cost. The interior in the car is all intact and in good shape - see pictures. Two cracks in the dash pad, head liner is good and the carpets need to be thrown out. I tried the lights, windows and seat etc and everything worked. The radio is out of the dash and in the trunk (not sure why - but I was going to get a modern replacement) and front parking light housing trims. They are in nice shape. Five good wide white wall tires. Would be a great project 60's era car to fix up or an excellent car to part out.
Here are the details on the grey one. It has its original 390 V-8 (non-operable), Automatic Trans, Power Steering, Power Brakes. This car has been stored for 20-25 years now. The engine was stuck when the car was stored and has been pickled for at least 20 years now. It is a rebuild candidate, so a good core. The body on this one is completely unmolested. The rockers and lower doors show rust holes, but are easily patched since it is original paint and no bondo. The interior is out of the car and in good shape. The floors are rusted out and need new pans. Frame is solid. Bumpers are dented and have some rust outs.
For me the plan is simple: Strip and patch the body and frame of the grey car. Take the engine, bumpers and interior from the white one, put them in the grey one and paint it. In the end, you'll have a nice 30k restored Cadillac Coupe DeVille. Not only that, but you will make back the money spent on this auction just selling off the extra parts from this project here on eBay!
Act fast ;-)

2018 Lincoln Navigator vs luxury SUV rivals: How it compares on paper
Wed, Nov 8 2017The all-new 2018 Lincoln Navigator is an impressive, luxury-lined beast. However, while its Black Label interior stood out most during our first drive of the new Navigator, it also seemed pretty clear that much of this full-size SUV was superior to the competition in a number of fundamental ways. Its Raptor-sourced 3.5-liter V6 had class-leading power for one, and its third-row seat seemed as spacious and comfortable as its rivals' are cramped and barely usable. To search for your next new vehicle, try Autoblog' s Car Finder. Yet, I wanted to take a closer look at how the Navigator fully compares on paper to its competitors - especially the Cadillac Escalade with which it most directly competes. The below spreadsheet should tell the whole story, but as you can see, there's an awful lot of class-leading green highlighter in the Navigator's column. The cargo volume and third-row legroom numbers are particularly telling, with the latter actually going up to 42.3 inches when you slide the second-row fully forward. Now, a few things to note about the above spreadsheet. The GLS-Class is also available as the GLS 550, which boasts a 4.7-liter V8 that just comes up short to the Navigator with 449 horsepower but has to deal with only 5,578 pounds. Its $94,950 price tag is comparable to the Navigator Black Label. Much of the LX 570's information is also applicable to the Toyota Land Cruiser, which, badge aside, could certainly be considered a member of this segment given its feature content and still-hefty price tag. It has better ground clearance and approach/departure angles than its Lexus sibling, along with an as-indicated lower price. Much of the Escalade's information also applies to the GMC Yukon Denali, while the Infiniti QX80 is applicable to the Nissan Armada.

Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers
Wed, Aug 14 2024Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.
Cadillac launches ATS-V, CTS-V Crystal White Frost editions
Sun, Oct 18 2015With power and performance enough to challenge the best that Europe and Japan have to offer, buyers in the luxury performance market shouldn't need much more reason to consider a new Cadillac ATS-V or CTS-V. But to make its fastest models that much more enticing, Cadillac is rolling out the new Crystal White Frost editions you see here. Available on the ATS-V coupe, ATS-V sedan, or CTS-V sedan (pictured), the new Crystal White Frost Edition models feature unique matte-finish white paint. They also get special wheels and the Carbon Fiber and Luxury packages as standard. Other equipment like Recaro buckets and microfiber-trimmed control surfaces are also available, among other options. GM's luxury division will only make 99 examples available across the three models – 39 ATS-V coupes, 31 ATS-V sedans, and 29 CTS-V sedans. So if you want to get your hands on one, you may have to act faster than these forced-induction performance machines will muscle their way around the track. Prices start at $71,460 for the smaller sedan and extend up to $94,900 for the larger one – those prices including destination but not taxes, registration, and other fees. For a full rundown of the equipment included and available, scope out the detailed press release below.
