1984 Cadillac Limousine on 2040-cars
Fairfield, California, United States
This Limousine was originally purchased by Industrial Indemnity Insurance Co. of San Francisco for the CEO. There were only 1,839 Limousines built by Cadillac at the factory in 1984 and this is one of them. This was the last year of the full length, rear wheel drive limousines built by Cadillac. In 1985, Limousines were outsourced to Limo companies that cut the cars in half and lengthened them, and they used front wheel drive cars that were smaller and less stately looking. The Chauffeur was instructed to purchase a new Limo for the CEO and he got all the bells and whistles. From my research, only the Formal Limousine could get the six-way power seat, but this car has the six-way power seat. It also has a reading light for the CEO that was added but it has stopped working recently. The car was repainted by the previous owner who was going to use it for livery services. The paint was faded when I bought the car and I buffed it out to get a shine. I replaced the right taillight housing as it was slightly dented from an accident. I replaced taillights and also the molding below the grille and front bumper. The vinyl top is in decent shape. There are bubbles beginning to develop below the sail panel at the belt line. I have kept the car garaged during my possession. I've replaced the plastic bumper to fender extensions at the front. The right side needs to be painted to match the paint on the car. Pictures show this. I recently replaced the drive coupler on the front seat motor as the original disintegrated from age, so the power seat now works fine. The driver door window is a little noisy, it works but isn't as quiet as the rest. There is a foot wear spot on the driver side original floor mat. There are cigarette burns, one on the driver door and on the seat, pictures show these. The car is leaking some oil, transmission fluid and differential oil. The cruise control works, but gets an attitude occasionally by surging. I've not used the cruise control much, so maybe it's from the lack of use. I put new tires on the car during ownership. They have low miles on them but are a few years old now. I have all the receipts for the work I've had done to the car as well as the 1984 Cadillac Shop Manuals that will come with it. IT came with the V8/6/4 system but that has been disabled and runs on all eight cylinders all the time. The car needs to go to someone who can maintain it and keep it up. It's a rare car in my view with only 1,839 built and the last of the Limos built at the Cadillac factory. If you have any questions let me know and I will answer them to the best of my ability. The car easily passed emissions within the last month for it's registration. Buyer to arrange for pickup and shipping. |

GM to accelerate its EV strategy — Cadillac could be all-electric by 2025
Wed, Nov 18 2020General Motors will roll out details of an expanded and accelerated electric vehicle strategy on Thursday in an effort to convince investors it can be a serious competitor to Tesla, people familiar with the plans said. GM Chief Executive Mary Barra, who is scheduled to speak at a conference hosted by Barclays, is expected to say the automaker is ready to spend more on electric models by 2025 than the $20 billion previously outlined, the sources said. Supplier sources said previous plans to make the Cadillac brand all-electric by 2030 are being sped up, possibly to 2025, and other sources said that acceleration will be repeated in other brands and in segments such as commercial vans. Asked about the Thursday appearance, a GM spokeswoman called talk of increased spending speculative and declined to give details. The Detroit automaker is also expected to discuss a new timeline for many of the EVs to follow those already identified, such as the GMC Hummer EV pickup and Cadillac Lyriq crossover, people familiar with the plans said. Lyriq (shown above) is slated to go into production in late 2022, but GM officials have been stung by criticism the automaker was bringing the vehicle to market too late, one source said. "The pull-ahead in programs is real and the organization is really doubling down on speeding up product development," the source said. Barra and other GM executives have been signaling the automaker's EV acceleration plans. She said earlier this month GM would boost capital spending over the next three years to speed EV development and was talking with other automakers about partnerships to develop more vehicles using GM's battery technology. Last week, a GM executive said the company had pulled forward the rollout of two "major" EV programs, and GM officials have touted the faster 18-month development time for the Hummer truck. Tesla's soaring market capitalization, and growing pressure from regulators to phase out carbon-emitting engines, has put pressure on established automakers to respond to investors who view their internal combustion lineups as outmoded and doomed in the long run. A critical part of GM's pitch to investors has been its new Ultium batteries, which it estimates will offer an electric driving range of 400 miles or more on a single charge. It is building a battery plant with Korean battery maker LG Chem in northeast Ohio.

NHTSA approves hybrid rearview mirror display in Cadillac CT6, Bolt EV
Tue, Feb 23 2016The Chevy Bolt EV prototype doesn't just have a fancy new all-electric powertrain. Just outside the driver's line of sight is a newfangled rearview mirror, one that can turn into a screen that shows a moving image from the rear-facing camera. Speaking to NPR's Robert Siegel yesterday, Department of Transportation secretary Anthony Foxx said that NHTSA has now approved this type of mirror/screen for use in vehicles. According to a letter from NHTSA to General Motors, GM will likely use this Full Display Mirror first in the 2016 Cadillac CT6 before coming to the Bolt. In its letter to GM, NHTSA said that the Full Display Mirror will only qualify as a standard rearview mirror as long as there are normal side mirrors in place. In other words, don't expect to see cameras and screens replacing all the mirrors in a motor vehicle just yet. @AutoblogGreen @NPR - #NHTSA has OK'd GM rear-view system that can switch between mirror & camera views. pic.twitter.com/6CBeIit10v — Anthony Foxx (@SecretaryFoxx) February 22, 2016 The Full Display Mirror was developed by Gentex, which has long worked with GM. The FDM debuted in 2014 and some people hoped it would also make its way into the Tesla Model X. Gentex, which also makes auto-dimming mirrors, says that it has "set out to develop the technologies and core competencies necessary to manage this evolution of the rearview mirror." The Chevy Bolt EV will start at $37,500, before incentives. The 200-mile EV will go into production late this year for likely sale in early 2017. Related Video:
