Cool 1963 Cadillac Fleetwood Convertible Parade Car Up For Auction With NO RESERVE 91k, 390 V8. Options include power windows, power steering, power brakes, power bench seat and "Autotronic Eye". I bought the Caddy two years ago in from the son of an older gentleman in Pennsylvania who owned it since the early 80's. I've put about 2000 miles on the Caddy since I've had it. Mechanical: since I've had the Caddy I've done a few things to make it a dependable driver. I've replaced the power steering pump, new muffler and pipes, new radiator (it was sent out and recored, that job alone was almost $700), new valve cover gaskets, installed a new generator, new battery, new belts and hoses and a full tuneup. I will include lots of extra parts, including a new brake booster and an additional set of door panels. The glass was removed from the doors when the roof was done: I have the complete set, tinted glass, no cracks, including the brackets and lift arms, they'll be in the trunk. The transmission has developed a slight drip recently, I haven't looked into it, I just add fluid when necessary. The linkage for the tranny needs to be adjusted, reverse is all the way to the right and sometimes you have to move the shifter into reverse a couple of times before it engages. The power seat stopped working last summer, I'm not sure if it's the switch or the seat motor. My mechanic told me the engine was probably rebuilt at some point, no noises from anywhere, even when starting her up after sitting for a month or two. Cosmetic: the Caddy got new paint in 2005. No bodywork was necessary, the Fleetwood is solid through and through, never rusted, never hit. At the same time the roof was professionally removed with all the cut areas upholstered in padded vinyl. People generally think it's a real convertible until they notice it's a four door. To be clear, the Caddy has NO ROOF. I have a perfectly sized tarp with bungee hooks I will include that covers the top area, it's withstood heavy rain without a problem when necessary. All the doors close easily. The seats were reupholstered in velour at the same time the paint was done. The original radio still works through the dash as does the power antenna. A modern radio is mounted under the dash, with 6x9 speakers on the rear deck as seen in the pix, it sounds great. The chrome and brightwork is in pretty good original condition, no pitting, the bumpers shine nicely. The rear bumper has one small dent near the center as seen in the pix. The underside is as clean as the rest or the car, floors, trunk and frame are near spotless. The driver's floor had a square of heavy sheetmetal put in to cover a small soft spot, the rest of the floor pans are rock solid. The previous owner told me he spent close to $4000 on the paint job and customization alone. The conversion to a parade car was done properly. Extra steel was welded onto the frame when the conversion was done, the Caddy has no flexing at all, even with five people in it; the doors close easily and line up perfectly, no slamming necessary and she actually handles pretty well in turns considering her size. The paint could use a good compounding. I had the door panels redone by an upholstery shop in pink and black, they look like new. I also put in new original style black hook and loop carpet. Dash has no cracks. I have the original windshield wiper arms and metal wiper blade holders in the trunk, I took them off for a cleaner look. All the directional/brake/turn signal/headlights work, even the cool fender indicators. Cruises nicely on the highway, holds the road perfectly, 325 HP 390 V8 moves this big girl easily up the highway with LOTS of power. The Caddy tracks straight and brakes evenly, no pulling or fading. She idles perfectly and the suspension is luxurious. Overall, drives like an American classic luxury car should. I
reserve the right to end the auction early as the Caddy is for sale
locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can
assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of
shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a good door to
door auto shipper if you need it. You can see the Fleetwood in a couple of movies coming out in the next year or so: "Blood Ties" and "Zero Stress", the Fleetwood appearing in multiple scenes in both. I recommend registering the car with your local "Picture Cars" company; it's hard to find early 60's convertible Caddies and this looks like the real thing. I've probably got over $9000 into Caddy; I never planned on selling her, but at the moment I need the cash more than the car. Lots of fun to drive, she's a really cool cruiser. Nice custom Caddy which is as much fun to drive as to look at! Be prepared for waves and honking. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230

Cadillac ATS Crimson Sport Edition is here for a limited run
Fri, 21 Mar 2014The Cadillac ATS has been a well-received entry into the small sport sedan segment for General Motors' premium brand, but keeping the model fresh is an understandably high priority. A two-door coupe variant is on the way and should help keep interest up, but the line's volume leader is still expected to be the sedan. In order to keep awareness high and sales going, GM will need to lavish a little attention on its four-door, as well. That's where the Crimson Sport Edition comes in.
Crimson Red Metallic paint is the exterior highlight for this special-edition Cadillac, while the interior is complemented with a number of microsuede touchpoints, including the heated steering wheel and shifter. To this point, the car's rich burgundy finish has only been offered on CTS-V Coupe and Sport Wagon models, and brand spokesperson Donny Nordlicht tells Autoblog that this is the first time that the company has offered a microsuede wheel with heat. Four interior trims are also available, although all have been seen previously.
The Crimson Sport will be limited to production this spring, and the trimmings can be added to either the 2.0T Performance or the V6 Premium specifications. Both rear- and all-wheel drive will be available, as well. Prices start at $46,010 for the turbocharged model and $51,010 for the V6 including destination fees, which represents a premium of $2,990 for the extra equipment.
Cadillac ATS-V and Mercedes-AMG C63 S pitted Head to Head
Fri, Sep 4 2015Our favorite (and only) Autoblog-alum-turned-Motor Trend staffer is back with another Head to Head video, this time pitting the Cadillac ATS-V with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S. This performance machine shootout is ostensibly a way to figure out which of these new super sedans will earn the right to go toe-to-toe with the undisputed champion of its segment, the BMW M3. In reality, it's just a really good excuse to put three of the hottest sedans on the market on video at the same time... and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Jonny Lieberman spends time in each of the two new challengers on the road, picking apart their powertrains, chassis and driving dynamics on the kinds of twisty roads drivers of these cars will relish. Then, he hands the keys off to Randy Pobst, who sort of acts as an unmasked version of a certain tame racing driver, except that he talks and has a personality. 0-60 and quarter-mile times are equated, braking performance is measured and scores are tallied before the two sport sedans end up at Willow Springs raceway. Interestingly enough, the car that proves (just slightly) faster at the race track isn't the car that wins the comparison. Curious? We're not going to spoil it for you. Check out the video, above. Then, for more action of these two machines, check out the videos just below.

Best and Worst GM Cars
Thu, Apr 7 2022Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded. While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
