Year:1962 Mileage:49000
Location:

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

After a 10+ year restoration, it's time to part with a beloved member of the family in order to make room for our long-time goal of getting a getting a convertible and we only have a one-car garage.

Up for sale is a long, sleek 1962 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 60 Sedan. In the "Mad Men" era of 1962, if you were 'somebody', you had one of these. This was the TOP OF THE LINE of all American Cars made this year. Short of the series 75 Limousine, this was the most luxurious production Cadillac made in 1962. When Frank Sinatra went to a concert or movie premier, this was the car that took him.

It came standard with Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Autronic Eye, Power seat, Power Steering, Power Trunk Release, Power Drum Brakes...options that aren't all standard in this decade, not to mention on a 52 year old car.

Yes, they all STILL work.

The GREAT/GOOD:

- All original with matching numbers
- Powered by the Original Cadillac 390 v-8 Engine that purrs like a kitten
- Steers and brakes perfectly
- Custom-installed sound system with new speakers behind retro, color-keyed grills, remote, aux input, CD, and radio with power antenna.
- Rides smooth as silk
- Won three trophies at Philadelphia-area car shows
- Always garage-kept
- Comes with an extra set of fender skirts, parts, and a shop manual
- Under 50K original miles
- Currently appraised with Hagerty insurance for $22,500 ($7,000 more than my asking price)

WHAT IT NEEDS:

- Small (less than 2") ding on the rear right fender
- Sun cracked dash (thin cracks)
- Need to tighten the rear, left door handle (I made a repair on the panel)

Come see this 18 1/2 foot gem, as it gets hundreds of looks every time I take it out for a leisurely cruise.

Feel free to inspect before bidding.  All reasonable offers considered.  A received offer is a legal obligation for purchase, and all deposits must be received at the close of auction.  No refunds or warranties (I am a private seller who is open and willing for anyone to come see or drive this beautiful car before buying), so please be serious about bringing this classic car into your home.  I reserve the right to end the auction early if I get a cash offer on the local ads.

The vehicle MUST be picked up no later than 24 hours after a successful win.  I'm going on vacation.  Thank you!

GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.

Combative de Nysschen defends Cadillac move, naming change

Mon, 29 Sep 2014


Johan de Nysschen isn't afraid of taking quick, decisive actions, even if they are criticized. Since taking the wheel at Cadillac, he instigated moving the luxury division's base of operations to Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood and introduced a new naming scheme for the future of the brand, like he did at Infiniti. The polarizing boss recently explained his feelings about the future of Cadillac in more depth on his Facebook page, but unfortunately only his friends could read it. Thankfully, Daily Kanban posted much of the strongly worded missive for the whole world to see.
Much of the message examines the decision to move some employees to New York. De Nysschen claims that it's all about giving Cadillac distance from Detroit to reshape itself. It allows for, "No distractions. No side shows. No cross-brand corporate considerations. No homogenized lowest common denominator approach. Just pure, unadulterated, CLASS."

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites

Sun, Jan 7 2024

Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.
