1960 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special Still On Air Suspension on 2040-cars
Troutville, Virginia, United States
|
This was recently removed from 39 years of barn storage and is still on a complete factory air suspension system all the way down to the correct air cleaner. The system would partially air up through the Schrader valve on the expansion tank but currently has wood blocks holding the suspension up. The engine is totally complete but is stuck, all 4 windows work, the radio plays and the antenna will go up but does not want to go back down. It has 2 correct hubcaps, all of the trim is there except 2 eyebrows and a few hash marks. Most of the stainless is good or repairable with the worst damage being on the passenger side rocker molding which has a long deep scrape in it, rear grille is very nice. Bumpers are straight, the passenger rear end is rusted through and the drivers front upper end is also rusted through in an odd spot. Body is fairly straight with some dings and a dent in the passenger front fender near the top, visible in pictures, and there is a dent in the drivers rear quarter. Rust: drivers fender has rust in the bottom and on top next to the hood, all 4 doors are solid both rear quarter appear solid, trunk lid is solid, hood is solid but has some rust on passenger side front lip on the corner under the eyebrow, interior floors as best I can tell are good and solid, trunk floor is solid but has rust on both sides behind the wheel house in the usual spots. Both rockers have rust with the drivers side being the worst. Looks like where the car sat on the barn floor with the air suspension being all the way down it took its toll on mainly the rockers. The interior is in pretty decent shape for its age and appears to have had the dealer installed factory seat covers on it since new so more than likely the original seats are pretty nice, door panels are complete and in decent shape other than being soiled, the original carpet is still intact, dash pad is cracked and the mice have been in the headliner but it is also still intact. The original owners manual and pouch is still there as well as the jack is in the trunk. Options include air suspension, air conditioning, Autronic Eye, power vents, power door locks, tinted glass (all the glass is good). This is a rare and unusual car that needs a full restoration or would make an excellent parts car for an Eldorado. I have a lot more pictures so send me your email address if you would like to see more. The car is stored at my home so if someone wants to see it please let me know and we will make arrangements for you to see the car. Once the auction completes high bidder please send me your PayPal address so I can invoice you for the $300 deposit required within 48 hours of the close of the auction. Payment must be made in certified funds before the vehicle is picked up and the transaction musty be completed within 30 days. Car has no brakes but rolls freely so loading should not be an issue. Transportation is the responsibility of the purchaser. Over sea's buyers I will be happy to work with brokers for pick up and delivery but will not deliver to a port. Please only bid if you are seriously interested in buying the vehicle, I don't have time for petty scams. |

Cadillac reveals more 2015 Escalade details, launches colorizer
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Cadillac has opened up a mini-site to entice you into its all-new 2015 Escalade, and begun talking about more of its features and trim levels. While all versions of the new daddy Caddy will be powered by a 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque routed through a six-speed automatic, there will be three trim packages you can wrap around that powertrain and seven exterior colors available to make it pop.
Features common to all trims include leather throughout, heated and cooled front seats, a 12-inch reconfigurable dash cluster, a quieter interior thanks to Bose active noise cancellation and the brand's love/hate CUE infotainment system. The base trim comes with adaptive remote start, hands-free tailgate, rear-view camera, park assist, Magnetic Ride Control and sits on 20-inch wheels. Moving up to the Luxury spec increases your stature with 22-inch wheels and adds a reconfigurable, color head-up display, a sunroof, power fold-and-tumble second row seating, Intellibeam headlights and a Driver Awareness Package with active crash-avoidance technology like Safety Alert Seat, lane departure warning and forward collision alert.
The top Premium trim gets a Driver Assist Package that includes Automatic Collision Preparation, automatic braking and adaptive cruise control, rear-seat entertainment, along with exterior touches like illuminated door handles.
Cadillac releases updated 2015 CTS
Sun, 10 Aug 2014Cadillac is in the process of applying the new wreathless emblem across its range one model at a time, but rather than simply slap the new logo on the existing models, it's taking the opportunity to roll out some revisions as well. First came the ATS coupe, followed by the updated ATS sedan, and now the flagship brand in the General Motors portfolio has quietly announced some revisions for the CTS sedan as well.
For the 2015 model year, the CTS - which was just introduced last year - gets a revised front end with that wreathless crest but also a new chrome grille with active aero elements on standard models and a black-chrome grille on the Vsport. The revised grille is flanked by new headlights, but behind them the engine lineup carries over: a 2.0-liter turbo four with 272 horsepower, a 3.6-liter V6 with 321 hp or - in the Vsport performance model - a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 with 420 hp that's still the most powerful V6 GM has ever made. All engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission (ditching the six-speed auto on previous versions) and (apart from the RWD Vsport) can be had in rear- or all-wheel-drive flavors.
Cadillac has also given the updated CTS some new electronics (including inductive smartphone charging, onboard wifi, and more advanced parking and lane assist systems) as well as new wheels, trims and color options, details on which you can read in the press release below.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
