See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Ernie Clair was a mover and shaker in the US auto world. He had Buick and Cadillac dealerships in the Northeast and stepped into the world of the unknown by by signing and bringing imported cars to our life in the 60's and 70's. He started at the age of 8 working in a garage and had 19 dealerships in his prime. The imported car dealerships- when none were in the Northeast- were Toyota, Audi, Honda, and Saab. This Cadillac was his personal car. And was acquired at his estate liquidation auction on September 30, 2007. For more information, google Ernie Clair, and hit Keenan auction results. There were over 100 collectible cars at no reserve. Tragedy hit the family soon after the auction, with two of his son's passing away from illnesses at the young age of their 50's. The condition of this car is good, rust free and very low mileage. My daughter wanted it in her wedding, so the car was repainted in the original color and run through the shop for any problems. The cost for that was $7200."

 Offered for sale, Ernie Clair's personal car, his 1969 Cadillac Fleetwood with super low mileage. He had a slider sunroof installed in the early 80's at one of his dealerships, and the car was used so little that the original headliner is still wrapped up in the trunk. The car was purchased at his estate auction on September 30, 2007, held by the Keenan Auction company in Saco Maine. The results can still be found on the internet, along with the remarkable history of this man bringing the world of successful imported cars to this country. He owned 19 dealerships in his prime. This car runs and drives like a new car, but does have some flaws because of its age. The paint was faded and and surface rust started from its few nicks and had a dent in a rear door. It was repainted in base coat- clear coat the original color. It was run through the shop to ensure dependability and safety for my daughter"s wedding. New Michelins were installed and A/C changed to 134a. The original spare is still in the trunk. It has had 400 miles put on it since. It has pitting on the outside door handles and the vinyl roof has a flaw on an edge where the sunroof was installed. The frame was wire brushed painted with John Deere liquid paint. There is a crack in one of the door panels arm rest. Really a beautiful car that cost as much new as three 1969 Roadrunners.

Your guide to vehicle subscription services

Mon, Oct 1 2018

They might be extremely limited in scope because of location availability, but vehicle subscription services are a growing trend that most luxury manufacturers are jumping on. Plans are expensive, but you're paying for much more than just the car typically. We highlighted four of the larger plans with a few more listed at the end. Care by Volvo Volvo launched its subscription service last year with its brand-new XC40. It was the only vehicle available for a time, but subscribers can now get an S60 sedan as well. Subscriptions are for two years, with the monthly price including insurance, a concierge service, wear-and-tear item replacements and all maintenance. You'll be able to drive 15,000 miles per year with whichever Volvo you choose, and although there are no options to extend that mileage, you can swap cars after a year. Pricing for the XC40 is $650 per month in base trim, while an S60 can be as expensive as $850 for the R-Design. Volvo's plan is to offer more cars soon through the service, but it's relatively limited compared to others right now. Porsche Passport Porsche has two levels in its subscription service: Launch and Accelerate. Launch will cost $2,000 per month and give you access to the Cayman, Boxster, Macan and Cayenne. All of those but the Cayenne can be had in "S" trim as well. Accelerate is where the fun really starts. For $3,000 per month you can choose from a fleet of 911s, including the S, 4S, Cabriolet and Cabriolet S. If those aren't enough, you can also get the Panamera 4S, Macan GTS and Cayenne S. There are no mileage limits and you can change vehicles as often as you'd like. Also included in the price is insurance, repairs, detailing and any maintenance. It might be extremely expensive and limited to Atlanta only, but this subscription service is second-to-none for what you get. Audi Select Audi just launched its subscription car service, and it's offered in one version for a flat fee of $1,395 per month. For that you'll have access to five different cars including the A4, S5 Coupe, A5 Cabriolet, Q5, and Q7. Not a bad range of vehicles, but it would've been neat to see the recently updated A7 in there too. Maybe in time. Like the others, insurance and maintenance are wrapped up in the price. Audi is allowing for unlimited miles and two car swaps per month here. In addition to that, you'll get two days of free rentals through Audi's Silvercar rental agency should you go on a trip.

Cadillac's Euro reboot may have implications for US models, sales

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Firmly on the comeback trail in the US, Cadillac is still trying to get out of the starting blocks in Europe. At the Geneva Motor Show in March, Cadillac' senior execs revealed plans to grow the brand's presence in a luxury market dominated by the big three German marques, Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
GM President Dan Ammann says he sees "enormous" potential for Cadillac globally.
Over the past 20 years, the General Motors premium nameplate has tried and failed multiple times to break into the European market. This time around, Cadillac recognizes that progress will be modest at best, and depends on specific changes to models, some of which may impact the brand's US lineup. Planned new sales tactics in Europe may also impact the way Cadillac does business on this side of the pond.
