I bought this car as a birthday present for myself for my 40th birthday, and it's been a lot of fun to own and drive. Cadillac made only 3,300 of these cars in conjunction with ASC, a convertible top manufacturer, and only a fraction of those cars survive today. The shape of these cars is gorgeous, they age well, and according to Wikipedia: “the convertible models are now highly sought after by numerous collectors.” This model was very expensive when first offered, about triple the cost of a new Fleetwood! It became an iconic car; I first saw it in the movie Pretty In Pink and decided I must have one! I bought the car partly because the value holds over time unlike many other classics. I put the car in storage in 2008 after buying a Rolls Royce. The year before I put it in storage, I installed a new convertible top (cost $3,000) and painted it. The body is straight, and most systems work fine. It is a California car with no rust. It has many options like leather interior, leather wheel, power driver seat, digital displays, CD changer in trunk. The leather is good because I treat it regularly with a leather conditioner, and I replaced the front seat bottom panels with durable exterior vinyl. The engine is strong: on a compression test done on 8/21/2013 the psi values were as follows: Cylinder 1: 110 psi. 2: 130. 3: 120. 4: 130. 5: 130. 6: 100. 7: 110. 8: 110. It recently passed California’s rigorous smog test. I have the original tonneau cover (shown in photos) and a custom storage bag. Also a custom car cover for the rare occasions it's out of the garage. The car has some minor mechanical issues, as follows: The climate control unit is bad (I have a used replacement, plus a trunk full of miscellaneous parts). The odometer stopped working in 2007. It shows 92,000 but the true mileage is about 5,000 more. One of the back windows rolls up slowly, and the torque converter rattles for a few seconds when the car is first started up. I’ve really enjoyed the car but with 6 other cars to care for I just can’t do justice to this beautiful machine any more, and I need the garage space. My custom plate does not come with the car.

Hear the new Cadillac CTS-V torture some tires

Thu, Dec 25 2014

The 2016 Cadillac CTS-V seems like the type of wonderful gift that Santa might cook up in his workshop for one extraordinarily good boy or girl. However, the first chance for most people to actually see the super sedan and its carbon fiber pieces in real life is at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in January. As a stocking stuffer until then, Caddy has released this video highlighting the latest V-Series roasting its tires better than any dinner for the holidays. With the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 from the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 nestled into the CTS-V's engine bay, the Cadillac certainly has quite a bark coming from its exhaust. The mill might be detuned slightly from the 'Vette to 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque, but that's still plenty for this smoky application. Enjoy this tease of the future V-Series, ahead of the Detroit show.

Cadillac snags de Nysschen from Infiniti, names him new president

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

Johan de Nysschen, the (now former) president of Infiniti, has officially jumped ship. The 54-year-old, who also spent time as the chief executive for Audi USA, has taken the position of president at Cadillac, following a two-year stint at the Nissan-owned luxury brand. In his new role, the 54-year-old will be responsible "for all aspects of Cadillac globally," according to a statement from General Motors.
"Johan brings to our company vast experience in the development and proper execution of luxury automotive brands," said GM President Dan Ammann, de Nysschen's new boss. "With over 20 years in this exact space, especially in the development of the Audi brand, his track record proves he is the perfect executive to lead Cadillac for the long term."
"I have for some time now been impressed by how the new General Motors has been transformed into a formidable force in the industry," de Nysschen said in a statement. "The combination of strong corporate leadership and exceptional engineering resources presents the perfect combination to restore Cadillac to its place among global premium brands."

Thu, Dec 22 2016

Jerry Seinfeld's successful online show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is heading into its ninth season, returning January 5th. It should be no surprise that the list of actors and comedians is impressive, with Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz, and more making appearances. Seinfeld has lined up an equally impressive list of cars for the new season. Porsche, BMW, and Volvo all have beautiful machines lined up to shuttle Seinfeld and his guest to different coffee shops. As always, it's a mix of light humor packed into a relatively short and, most importantly, free video. Catch up on the previous eight seasons now on Crackle.
