1937 Cadillac Fleetwood
Series 70 Transformable Sedan

You are looking at a very original, Unmolested Cadillac. This is a two owner vehicle that has spent its entire life in Southern California. The Original owner purchased the car and drove it locally around the Riverside area. The car was then used by the owners daughter to drive to and from college while attending USC in the early 1950's. After graduating the car was used sparingly and eventually parked at the family property in Riverside.The second owner (Paul) purchased the vehicle in 1976 and relocated it to his home in Pacific Palisades, Ca. with plans of a complete restoration. In late 1976 the car was taken to L.A. Metal stripping where all body work was done in preparation for new paint. The old photo showing the car with red primer is from 1977 when the car was brought home from the body shop. The engine was removed in March of 1978 and taken in for a complete tear down and rebuild. Some old original photos are included in the ad of the engine tear down and the completed rebuild before being placed back in the car. The engine was started and Paul drove the car approx. 4 miles before being parked in his garage where he was planning to continue the restoration. With two young children and a demanding Career Paul never got back to the car. It sat covered in his garage until May 2013, when it was relocated to my garage. My neighbor and I agreed to put it back together and get it in running condition so it could be sold and Paul and his wife could have some free space they haven't had in their garage for years.

The following is a list of work done to the car to get it to its present state.
  -Fluids changed
  -Gas tank removed professionally cleaned and dipped, some fuel lines replaced, other lines flushed and cleaned.
  -Brand new exhaust (muffler and tail pipe)
  -Brake fluid drained, Replaced and bled
  -New battery, Battery cables and coil
  -Rust removed from running boards and patched with new metal and are stronger than when new
  -Wheels blasted and painted with new (1980's) tires mounted. Tires were in bags stored with the car and preserved.
  -We lightly sanded the body and shot it with black primer.

GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.

Cadillac confident attitude will attract the elite to ELR plug-in hybrid [w/video]

Mon, Feb 10 2014

Cadillac is not going to pull any punches when it comes to promoting its plug-in hybrid ELR. In the real world, the company is showing off the Wreath And Crest's coupe with Chevy Volt technology at exclusive events with "groups whose members are affluent, green-minded and have an appreciation for design and innovation," says Automotive News. That evidently means young Hollywood celebrities and other well-to-do demographics. As Cadillac global chief Bob Ferguson recently told the industry publication, "If you live on the West Coast and you're an architect and you've given to environmental causes, you're probably going to hear about the ELR. We have sliced and diced who is likely to buy this vehicle." "We have sliced and diced who is likely to buy this vehicle" - Cadillac's Bob Ferguson In the realm of advertising, Cadillac evidently thinks a fast-talking, USA-USA-USA! Type-A personality is just the kind of guy who will convince those celebrities and architects to buy one. For proof, look no further than the star of this new ELR ad called Poolside that Cadillac is airing during the Olympics. There are almost no details about the ELR in this ad, just a whole lot of attitude mixed with humor (the "We got bored" line is funny). In fact, there's almost no indication that the ELR is an extended-range hybrid at all. Short of a brief moment where our hero, actor Neil McDonough, unplugs his car from its charging station, you'd probably never know it's got an EV mode at all. That's undoubtedly a calculated bet by Cadillac, whose ad execs have undoubtedly noted that most electric cars are not selling well with an eco-first message, so they appear to be going with style and swagger instead. Scroll below to see what we mean. The ELR has a starting MSRP of $75,000, and at that price, it's already out of reach for most Americans. Automotive News suggests that annual ELR production is likely to be just shy of 5,000 units, so Cadillac could be on stable ground trying to appeal to such a limited number of buyers. What type of buyers? Well, that remains to be seen.

Cadillac rushing update for laggy CUE infotainment system

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

BMW's innovative iDrive was introduced in 2001, and a dozen years later, automakers are still learning hard lessons about what consumers want in their infotainment systems. In response to owner feedback - and a few media drubbings - about the delayed and occasionally fickle responses of its CUE (short for Cadillac User Experience) system, Cadillac has told Wired that it's going to issue an update this year.
Coming for the XTS and ATS, the new software will mean quicker haptic feedback to driver inputs on the touchscreen and the buttons, and snappier responses on screen. Down the road, Cadillac's VP of marketing says that a different mix of screen controls and hard buttons is "something you'll be seeing in the future" - the system is presently a mix of touchscreen-based controls and capacitive-touch switchgear - there are no knobs or physical pushbuttons to speak of, and the omission of both has proven to be a divisive issue among consumers and industry pundits.
Cadillac hasn't provided a date for when the CUE update will be issued, but it has indicated that the service will be performed by dealers, not sent wirelessly.
