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!

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014

The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.

Cadillac ATS Coupe headed for Detroit reveal

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without its two-door models. But the XLR has been discontinued for over four years now, the Elmiraj concept may never see production and the future of the CTS Coupe is still up in the air. That leaves just the ELR, which may not be conventional enough for traditional Cadillac coupe buyers. Fortunately a new coupe is coming along to fill the void.
According to Edmunds, Cadillac will reveal the new ATS coupe just a couple of months from now at the Detroit Auto Show. Expected to mechanically mirror the existing ATS sedan, the new coupe will also more conventionally resemble its four-door counterpart than the CTS, whose coupe version was distinguished by a rakishly sloping roofline.
Expect the same choice of engines to carry over, with a 2.5-liter four serving as the base engine, and both a 2.0-liter turbo four and a 3.6-liter V6 offering more power for those looking for that extra bit of oomph. Following the Detroit reveal, sources anticipate the ATS coupe to go on sale next summer.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
