No Reserve - Nice Coupe Deville, 425 V8, Red On Red, Not 1977 1978 1980 Lincoln on 2040-cars
Putnam Valley, New York, United States
|
Nice, Fully Loaded 1979 Cadillac Coupe Deville up for auction with NO RESERVE 114k, 425 V8. Options include split bench power seat, tilt and telescoping wheel, "Guidematic" auto headlights with auto dimming, cruise control, remote trunk release with power pulldown and the standard power windows, power steering and power brakes. I bought the Caddy from the original owner, the Caddy still has the original paperwork, brochure and owner's manual. From Wikipedia: "Because of their limited production and extravagant styling, the later 70's Coupe Devilles are increasingly sought after by collectors." Mechanical: The previous owner obsessively maintained it until he stopped driving and the Caddy sat in his garage for a couple of years before I bought it. Over the two years the Caddy got front end work, new exhaust, new alternator, shocks as well as various maintenance items. The climate control has a switch under the dash to turn the fan on, otherwise the controls for heat/defrost/ac work as normal. The a/c could use a charge of R12 if available or a retrofit to modern freon. The power steering hose has developed a slow leak, I add fluid periodically. I may have it repaired depending on how much the Caddy sells for. The driver's seat needs a new switch and the power antenna needs to be put up and down by hand. The previous owner installed a modern AM/FM CD stereo with an Ipod jack. The power windows work well and the car is quiet inside when the windows are up on the highway. Cosmetics: The car got new paint in the 90's as well as a full replacement set of bumper and fender fillers. There is some minor bubbling where the vinyl meets the rear fender on the passenger side, only visible up close. The original carpet is still in good shape. The door panels, rear panels dashboard / dash display, headliner and visors are in good original condition. The leather has some cracking and small tears as seen in the pix, there are matched red leather look seat covers on them now. The Caddy has never been hit or had any kind of body repair and the chrome shines nicely. The floors, trunk and frame are all solid. She's never been out in the winter, she's always been a "Garage Queen". The engine starts easily even after sitting for weeks and the garage floor is always dry when I pull the car out. The 425 V8 is nice and powerful, it moves this old girl up the highway with ease. It shifts smoothly, cruises nicely on the highway and the suspension is silky smooth over the roughest roads. The front disc brakes stop the car quickly. On the highway she'll get 13-15 MPG, pretty good for a 70's luxury cruiser. The directional/brake/turn signal/headlights/brights work properly, as well as the wipers and the the external three color fender indicators (lights, brights and turn signal). Drives overall like an American classic luxury cruiser 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 door to door auto shipper I've used in the past; they're professional, reliable and have great rates. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230 |

Cadillac picks Publicis as new agency of record, continues cutting ties with Campbell Ewald
Fri, Dec 5 2014Cadillac is setting itself up for major changes in the coming years with its decision to hire Johan de Nysschen as the brand's new boss and moving some of the staff to new digs in the trendy SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. With those two big shifts in place, there's one more on the way with the company's announcement that Publicis Worldwide is now its global creative agency of record, effective immediately. The firm replaces former, long-time General Motors associate Campbell-Ewald; now a portion of Lowe and Partners. "This appointment is designed to accelerate the global expansion and elevation of Cadillac into a truly global luxury brand," said Cadillac Chief Marketing Officer Uwe Ellinghaus in the company's announcement. "We have spent much of this year refocusing on the core values of our brand." Although, some work may remain at Lowe and Partners for now. According to Cadillac spokesperson David Caldwell via email to Autoblog: "The bulk of work makes this shift. It is possible that maybe a small individual smaller project or two might still be handled by Lowe. Not certain yet." The fruit of this new partnership shouldn't take long to mature, either. "We will have substantially new marketing and brand identity work in early 2015." said Caldwell. According to Ad Age, Cadillac's advertising had been handled by Lowe and Partners, Campbell-Ewald in Detroit (now entirely part of Lowe) and Hill Holiday. Caddy had a relationship with the agency since 2013 but has changed firms several times in 2006. GM had a long collaboration with Campbell-Ewald, though. Chevrolet was its partner for nearly a century until the automaker also jumped to Publicis in 2010. The firm was responsible for campaigns like, "The Heartbeat of America", "Like A Rock" and "An American Revolution." Scroll down to read Cadillac's full announcement of the change. Cadillac Appoints Publicis Worldwide 2014-12-04 DETROIT – Cadillac announced today the appointment of Publicis Worldwide as its global creative agency of record. Publicis Worldwide is the largest creative agency of the Publicis Groupe network and its appointment to Cadillac is effective immediately. A fully dedicated team, comprising key managers from Publicis Worldwide, will lead the account and have access to specialist and premium resources within the larger Publicis Groupe.
GM recalling Cadillac ATS, XTS, Chevy Impala over faulty brake lamps
Thu, 06 Jun 2013General Motors has issued a recall covering 1,627 sedans over faulty brake lamps. Both the 2013 Cadillac ATS and XTS are affected by this problem, as is the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
According to an official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, "the brake lamps may intermittently flash without the brakes being applied and the cruise control may disengage" on these vehicles. The report does not state that the brakes themselves are faulty, but rather that "if the brake lamps flash when the vehicle is not slowing, a following driver may not adjust vehicle speed when the vehicle is in fact braking."
This marks the first recall for the 2013 Cadillac ATS, as well as the recently introduced 2014 Chevy Impala. In late 2012, over 12,000 Cadillac XTS models were recalled due to a head restraint issue.
Cadillac mulling CTS Coupe successor after all
Thu, 04 Apr 2013The 2014 Cadillac CTS made a big splash last week at the New York Auto Show, but now that we've seen the sedan, we can start to wonder about whether coupe and wagon versions are in the cards. According to Edmunds, Cadillac is at least considering bringing back the CTS Coupe for a second generation, which seems like an even better chance since the brand's global marketing director, Jim Vurpillat, was quoted as saying that the car was the top-selling luxury coupe in the industry.
Of course, this goes against reports we heard last year that Caddy's coupe and wagon would live on just not under the CTS name, but the interview with Vurpillat has us hopeful for a next-generation CTS Coupe. If it does come to fruition, we would expect the new two-door to have a largely unique exterior design like the current CTS Coupe, to echo that of intended rivals like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe and even the high-dollar BMW 6 Series.
