Selling my 1976 cadillac convertible,I bought this car from an older gentleman which had it sitting in his garage for the last 15 years,it is originally from Arizona so there is no rust at all,however it has been re-painted in its original color about 20 years ago,I consider it a nice driver quality paint and it gets a lot of thumbs up from everybody that sees it. I invested a lot of money into getting this car back on the road,complete new braking system,pads,rotors,calipers,hoses,stainless steel brake lines,master cylinder,new front and rear shocks,new rear springs,new radiator,new Coker Classic white wall tires,new front wheel bearings,new pitman arm and I also had the sun damaged dashboard removed and re-upholstert,at this point I also had a CD player installed  to replace the cassette radio which was installed sometime in the 80s,the transmission was re-built by the previous owner and has less then 1200 miles on it,I do have the receipt for this.the only thing that is not working on this car as of right now is the cruise control and the A/C.i was really looking forward to cruising this beauty this summer but after spending all this money on it  some scumbag cut the top on it while I had it parked outside my house,the top itself is working fine but the fabric needs to be replaced.i spent all the money I could on this car and I am broke now,so I am selling it and hopefully it will find a good home and somebody who has the resources to replace the top on it and enjoy this great ride. The car runs an drives like a dream! If you have any questions feel free to call/text me at 630 946 7502.     Sold as is,where is! Shipping is the buyers responsibility, I will gladly assist with loading it on to a trailer or truck. I forgot to mention, it also comes with the hard shell parade boot and a custom car cover

Cadillac logo losing its wreath?

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

The easily recognizable Cadillac logo dates back to the company's founding in the early 1900s, but over the last 110 years, there has been an on-again, off-again love affair with the wreath surrounding the crest. Cadillac's current badge design has used the wreath since the 1980s, but Automotive News is reporting that GM's luxury division is planning to ditch the laurel wreath for a cleaner-looking logo.
The new logo could make its debut as early as next month on a new concept car that will be revealed at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, although the report also says that it might be until 2015 before it makes its way to a production car. Even then, it doesn't like anything has been finalized yet, as the article also says that plans could still change.
As Cadillac looks to improve its global presence as a luxury automaker, the report says that a simpler logo could make it easier for designers to incorporate the badge onto the car - either in the grille or above the grille (possibly in a fashion similar to Mercedes-Benz). Head on over to the AN article, which shows the Cadillac logo dating back to its earliest design.

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
