1941 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special on 2040-cars
Pendleton, Oregon, United States
|
I'm selling my beautiful classic 1941 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special. I acquired this prewar survivor about 5 years ago out of a barn where it was stored most of its life. I consider this car in driver condition. It was repainted in the 60's and does have chips, thin spots in the paint and dings expected with a car of this age. The car has not been restored although I did have the original 348 flathead engine totally machined and sleeved back to the original bore and specs including hardened valves and seats to operate on todays gasoline's. The 348 ci engine (also used in tanks during the war) is backed by the first year Cadillac offered as an option, automatic transmission which is quite rare. 1941 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special, this is the Bill Mitchell designed car. Complete rebuild on the 346 ci engine, resleeved to original bore, all new internal parts. New white wall radial tires with under 100 miles look good with the original restored hubcaps. Engine, frame and body numbers all match. Factory equipped optional automatic trans., heater works nice, most everything works except the radio although it does power on. I just didn't have time to repair it. Drives down the road nice, starts and runs nice. It looks to have been repainted and new interior installed in the 1960s. The body tag shows the paint to be a two tone grey from the factory. I acquired it right out of storage where it was stored in 1971, I have pictures as it was removed. This is one of the last of the prewar cars in good solid survivor shape. The chrome is not show quality as it has pitting, but everything there to work with if you should decide to restore it. I enjoy driving it in this "driver" condition. I'm amazed by the public's looks and thumbs up's on every drive. Also be prepared to make time for those who want pictures with it also. You'll see. Serious bidders can ask for specific pictures of interest if you provide me an email to send them to. Please ask any questions you have before bidding. Good luck Dennis |

Cadillac shows dealers convertible rendering
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Cadillac is getting serious about revitalizing and expanding its lineup, and to that end, a new report claims that brand boss Johan de Nysschen has been showing plans for several new models to the marque's dealer body - among them, a new convertible.
The droptop which Cadillac reportedly showed its dealers in sketch form, would be based on the same platform as the ATS and CTS, those it's unclear to which (if either) of those model lines the new convertible would be added, or whether the design features a canvas or folding hardtop roof. One way or another, it would be the first time Cadillac would offer a convertible since the Corvette-based XLR roadster was discontinued more than five years ago.
Quoting an unnamed brand spokesperson, Cadillac would "like to introduce an open car to the portfolio at some point," however, "it's not likely to be one of the near-term portfolio additions."

GM recalling 524k vehicles over hood latches and toe link nuts
Fri, 03 Oct 2014Just hours after confirming to Autoblog its intention to recall 97,540 vehicles in the US (117,651 in North America) for a possible manufacturing defect in the chassis control module of several models, General Motors is issuing two more campaigns that affect another 379,401 units in the US (524,384 in North America).
One campaign covers 290,107 US examples of the 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX and the 2011-2012 Saab 9-4X because the "rear toe link adjuster lock nuts" may be improperly torqued. If not up to spec, the toe adjuster link could separate and allow the wheel to shift while driving, making the handling unstable. GM says that it knows of three crashes and two injuries as a result of this problem. Dealers are inspecting the nuts and installing a new link assembly, if necessary. Autoblog first reported about this potential issue when it showed up on a list of recalls from Transport Canada.
The second recall is for 89,294 examples of the 2013-2015 Chevrolet Spark in the US manufactured from January 17, 2012, through July 29, 2014. According to GM, "corrosion can cause the secondary hood latch striker to stick in the open position." If this happens, and the primary latch also isn't engaged for some reason, the hood could fly open while driving. About 13,000 of these affected Sparks are at dealers and are being held until repaired. The fix requires replacing the hood striker. GM isn't aware of crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by this problem.
