Hugo, Minnesota, United States

 This 1953 Cadillac Fleetwood Four Door 60S is an almost perfect example of one of the most luxurious cars built in that era.  There were only 109,651 Cadillacs built that year including all models and of that total only 20,000 were Fleetwood 60S models.  This was the top of the line Cadillac most being purchased by Doctors, Lawyers, Corporate CEO's and other top professionals.  Today, only 2,200 of these rare Fleetwoods remain on State auto registries, with an estimated additional 2,000 spread around in junk yards across the Country.  The 1953 Model was the first of the Cadillacs to utilize the 12 volt electrical system, and the one piece rear window.   The engine for 53 was a 331 Cu In V8, rated at 210 HP.  Transmissions were either GM Hydramatic, or Dynaflow depending on whether the car was built before or after the big fire at the Hydramatic production facility.  This car is equipped with the Hydramatic Automatic Transmission.  The speedometer shows 25,890 and that appears to be authentic when one reads the restoration records for the car.  This fine automobile spend most of it's life in Connecticut and later in the early 2000's it shows up in Wisconsin records.  In 2010 the car was documented by an appraisal service in Cloquet, Minnesota and it was most recently appraised by a service in White Bear Lake, MN in February of 2014.  That appraisal listed the cars value at from 60,000 to 70,000.  The receipt file is extensive to say the least - with over $25,000 in chrome plating alone.  The file goes on and on, Professional engine rebuild, transmission, radiator, generator, transmission cooler, new tires, glass, window regulators, window rubbers and the list of small detail parts purchased is endless.  The photos tell the story - look them over good.  The car drives like a Cadillac should.  Smooth, quiet, and fairly quick for it's age and weight.  This is luxury once you sit in these couch like seats.  The interior is just a perfect as the exterior, the dash board is just exquisite in detail and class.  We can be of some assistance with shipping arrangements if that is required, just let us know in advance.  Call before bidding for details that may be missing in the description.  Car has a clear title and is ready to be transferred to you right away.  Sixonetwo Sevenfiveone Five0sevennine will get me anytime during the day in the central time zone for questions.  If the asking price seems to be out of your range, just let me know and I can potentially list a "buy it now" price for you that meets your needs.  Lets get this car to it's new owner quickly. Thanks for looking, appreciated!  Jerry.

2016 Cadillac ATS-V blasts into LA

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

The first details about the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V recently hit the web ahead of the official debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Now, the latest model to wear Caddy's high-performance V moniker is officially official, and the specs are even better than initial rumors suggested.
The latest figures actually give the ATS-V a hair more power than first believed, with 455 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque pumping out of the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6. With a standard electronic limited-slip differential keeping rear wheels in check, Cadillac claims that the model sprints to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 185 mph. Buyers have two transmission choices that both offer launch control: a six-speed manual featuring Active Rev Match and no-lift shifting, or an eight-speed automatic.
Thoroughly revised suspension and braking systems should also mean that the ATS-V excels at more than just going in a straight line. The chassis itself receives extra bracing to boost overall stiffness by 25 percent over lesser ATS models. On top of that, a host of suspension upgrades front and rear, including third-generation Magnetic Ride Control dampers, mean quicker steering response and a tighter ride. Plus, Brembo six-piston calipers up front and four-pistons in the rear should bring rapid deceleration. To tune it all to the driver's whim, the Performance Traction Management system gives five settings to choose from for stability and traction control.

Amidst a good year for Cadillac, which is experiencing higher sales gains than any other US brand this year, the US sales chief has been fired over a policy violation, Automotive News reports.
The sales chief, Chase Hawkins, "has left effective immediately," GM spokesman David Caldwell told Automotive News. Caldwell went on to say that Hawkins' replacement would be chosen soon.
Hawkins became the US sales chief in June 2012, and before that was the regional sales director for Cadillac in the Northeast US, overseeing 168 dealerships.
