1940 Cadillac Sixty Special. A very high-point example of the iconic Cadillac Sixty Special. Recognized as a Full Classic by the Classic Car Club of America, this is a car that will be welcome at any exhibition event and is fully capable of safe, reliable travel in modern traffic. It was originally purchased by the famed, Oscar- winning actor, Charles Coburn at the height of his long acting career. The car includes documentation and memorabilia dating back to Mr. Coburn"s purchase along with photo and receipt restoration data. Introduced in 1938, the Sixty Special was a radical departure for Cadillac and the entire luxury car field. In 1940 the Sixty Special was elevated to the top-of-the-line Fleetwood Series with added status and upgraded appointments. This model was the first truly “modern” sedan that set the design standard that still dominates the shape of cars today. Up until the Sixty Special, luxury cars had strap-on trunks and were intended to be chauffeur driven…this car changed all that. The owner was the driver, engaged in the operation of a trimmer, modern, integrated body and chassis. With a war-proven L- head V-8 connected to a smooth, 3-speed transmission operated by a column mounted shifter, Cadillac and the Sixty Special began the process of leaving the other luxury makers in their rear-view mirror. This car is one of only 4302 produced and is a highly respected car in all collector circles ***No mechanical issues whatsoever. Runs and drives like a Swiss watch with no oil consumption or smoke of any kind.*** Features and Comments: 1. Awards- 2.

Lego's 18.5-inch Ghostbusters Ecto-1 will make you feel like bustin'
Sat, Nov 7 2020If there's something strange in your neighborhood, Lego has something to help you take care of those non-terminal repeating phantasms or class-five full-roaming vapors. This week, it announced a supremely detailed version of the Ecto-1, the iconic 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance from the 1984 film classic, Ghostbusters. The set is comprised of a whopping 2,352 Lego pieces and when completed, will measure 18.5 inches long. It's one of the more accurate Lego vehicles the company has created, and features a steering box connecting the steering wheel to the front wheels, hinged doors and an opening hood with replica V8 engine inside. Like the movie car, it's packed with ghost-fighting gadgetry. There's a rotating ghost-sniffer activated by the wheels, a gunner seat that deploys from one of the rear doors, and a roof rack stacked with loads of spirit-trapping gear. Lego says it's even got some easter eggs that will be discovered as the kit is assembled. Lego says that two automotive pieces were developed specifically for the Ecto-1: a 6x14 curved windscreen and a five-module steering wheel. These should translate well to other vehicles in the future or for custom builds. Notably, this kit was designed by the Michael Psiaki, who created Lego's James Bond Aston Martin DB5 kit. The set is released as a tie-in with the upcoming Ghostbusters: Afterlife movie. It was supposed to be released this summer but was delayed until (as of now) June 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As for the Ecto-1 kit, it will hit shelves Nov. 15 just in time for holiday shopping.
Cadillac Lyriq electric crossover reveal date announced
Thu, Jun 25 2020The Cadillac Lyriq will be the company's first fully electric car, and it was due to be shown back in April. Then the coronavirus pandemic happened and screwed everything up. But now we have a new reveal date for the Lyriq: August 6, 2020.  The date comes to us via a teaser video. It showcases a variety of high-tech Cadillac features over the decades from electric start to OLED instrument displays. But it also occasionally drops a shot of the Lyriq itself. One shot shows part of the grille, which is solid with many LED light strakes. We also see the door panel with beautiful wood trim and inlaid LED patterns. Autoblog Green editor John Snyder has already seen the Lyriq at GM's electric vehicle summit. He noted that it has 22-inch wheels, tall taillights, and a 34-inch instrument and infotainment display spanning the width of the dashboard.Â
