needs engine fixed or swapped has water in oil. runs and drives but not street-able yet 1972 Gmc big block 454 1994 Gmc truck 4L60 tranny all new brakes new wheel bearings. These pics are just before I put it into my shop for storage in 2007, all ornaments. emblems. letters, chrome. stainless, are in trunk or back seat of limo. The trunk lock I think I might keep just as a keeps sake, It will be a bill sale only, as with original sales ad and bill of sale from owner I bought it from. The seats ARE ALL THEIR rear """jump seats""" are in great shape they all the only part of the interior that is still preserved from being folded up inside the back of the front seat. Pass rear tire loses air over night. it has all 4 original rims and hub caps. limo has history from sun valley resort in Idaho Here is the story of how I bought it. I was living in Hailey Idaho, in 1999 a friend and I were 4x4ing and sticking out of the entrance of the triumph silver mines just south of sun valley was this Cadillac. I was selling cars at a local dealership and he called me a few weeks after and ask me to see if I would find out if it was for sale, 5 months later it was, $5000 in the local paper. I called, went, spoke, and towed it away. His wife said No way. thus I was pinched for the cost, I towed it to Southern Cal replaced the wheal bearing, brakes, tune up and took it for a test drive. Moved to Northern cal, pulled the engine and tranny out and swapped it with what is in now. I do not have the engine and tranny I pulled due the fact I gave it away 9 years ago, some guy put it in his qtr mile race truck. The engine runs, I have done 3 oil changes and every time its chocolate milk, all other parts that are missing in pics are in trunk. A few missing parts are missing but obtainable. When I bought it, I went to the resort and library were there are over 2 dozen photos of 2 limos sitting in front of resort with famous actors politicians and Ernest Hemingway himself sitting on hood/bumper with Cary Grant. call the resort to confirm. The other limo is in Utah, being used as a taxi was what I was told. I bought a pass side front door and other misc stainless parts, the only parts that are missing are the rear qtr chrome fins that go on the bullet shaped parts on the rear qtrs, the pass rear door and pass rear qtr panel need some metal shaping and or replacing, you can get a pass rear door for $800 from cadillac parts on line, they say they have it. I have had this for 15 years with a dream of restoring one day as a road trip cruiser. Its priced to sell. I replaced front windshield with used glass but still needs rubber weathering striping I called metro and they sent me a sample, needs front door vent glass and one rear door glass replaced, I made polycarbonate ones to seal it up due to rain and rats. yes their might be a few thinking its a Cadillac Resort! |

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Jeep Twitter account hacked, bad language, poor grammar and some hilarity ensue
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Just a day after Burger King's Twitter account was compromised by "unauthorized users," Jeep's social media feed has been similarly hacked. Both instances of digital incursion share some similarities - the BK hackers changed the company's logo for McDonald's familiar golden arches, saying a sale had occurred, while the Jeep miscreants have replaced Jeep's branding with that of General Motors property Cadillac.
The resulting tweets from the damaged Jeep account have been a pretty brutal, to put it bluntly. Most of the content coming from the hacked account is unpublishable here, using language that is peppered with racial epithets, and poorly worded "shout outs."
In addition to the defamatory tweets themselves, the hackers have significantly altered the layout of the page. Jeep's header image now features a picture of the Cadillac ATS to go along with the Wreath and Crest, some language calling out that car as winning the 2013 North American Car of the Year award, and this gem: "The official Twitter handle for the Jeep(R) - Just Empty Every Pocket, Sold To Cadillac =[" Also, perhaps in an ode to yesterday's Burger King heist, the background image for the page now features a McDonald's-themed donk. The devil's in the details, we guess.
GM recalling 117,000 sedans, crossovers, SUVs, pickups and vans
Thu, 02 Oct 2014General Motors has issued a stop-sale to dealers and has notified the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration of its intention to recall 117,000 vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Of those vehicles, only 4,500 are at dealerships.
The affected vehicles include the Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Impala sedans, fullsize SUVs (Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe and Suburban and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL), Lambda-platform crossovers (Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia), heavy-duty pickups (Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD) and fullsize vans (Chevy Express and GMC Savana). The sedans and body-on-frame SUVs include model years 2013 and 2014, while the CUVs, heavy-duty pickups and vans are limited to MY2014.
GM confirmed the recall to Autoblog via an emailed statement (which we've included below). According to the statement, the issue at hand in what is the company's 69th recall of 2014 covers the chassis-control module. Automotive News is reporting that a problem in the chassis-control system could cause a short in the module, which could cause the engine to stall or fail to start. The fault could also affect the trailer-brake control, provided it's equipped.
