Cool 1963 Cadillac Fleetwood Convertible Parade Car Up For Auction With NO RESERVE 89k original miles, 390 V8. Options include power windows, power steering, power brakes, power bench seat and "Autotronic Eye". I bought the Caddy two years ago in from the son of an older gentleman in Pennsylvania who owned it since the early 80's. I've put about 2000 miles on the Caddy since I've had it. Mechanical: since I've had the Caddy I've done a few things to make it a dependable driver. I've replaced the power steering pump, new muffler and pipes, new radiator (it was sent out and recored, that job alone was almost $700), new valve cover gaskets, installed a new generator, new battery, new belts and hoses and a full tuneup. I will include lots of extra parts, including a new brake booster and an additional set of door panels. The glass was removed from the doors when the roof was done: I have the complete set, tinted glass, no cracks, including the brackets and lift arms, they'll be in the trunk. The transmission has developed a slight drip recently, I haven't looked into it, I just add fluid when necessary. The linkage for the tranny needs to be adjusted, reverse is all the way to the right and sometimes you have to move the shifter into reverse a couple of times before it engages. The power seat stopped working last summer, I'm not sure if it's the switch or the seat motor. My mechanic told me the engine was probably rebuilt at some point, no noises from anywhere, even when starting her up after sitting for a month or two. Cosmetic: the Caddy got new paint in 2005. No bodywork was necessary, the Fleetwood is solid through and through, never rusted, never hit. At the same time the roof was professionally removed with all the cut areas upholstered in padded vinyl. People generally think it's a real convertible until they notice it's a four door. To be clear, the Caddy has NO ROOF. I have a perfectly sized tarp with bungee hooks I will include that covers the top area, it's withstood heavy rain without a problem when necessary. All the doors close easily. The seats were reupholstered in velour at the same time the paint was done. The original radio still works through the dash as does the power antenna. A modern radio is mounted under the dash, with 6x9 speakers on the rear deck as seen in the pix, it sounds great. The chrome and brightwork is in pretty good original condition, no pitting, the bumpers shine nicely. The rear bumper has one small dent near the center as seen in the pix. The underside is as clean as the rest or the car, floors, trunk and frame are near spotless. The driver's floor had a square of heavy sheetmetal put in to cover a small soft spot, the rest of the floor pans are rock solid. The previous owner told me he spent over $3000 on the paint job and customization alone. The paint could use a good compounding. I had the door panels redone by an upholstery shop in pink and black, they look like new. I also put in new original style black hook and loop carpet. Dash has no cracks. I have the original windshield wiper arms and metal wiper blade holders in the trunk, I took them off for a cleaner look. All the directional/brake/turn signal/headlights work, even the cool fender indicators. Cruises nicely on the highway, holds the road perfectly, 325 HP 390 V8 moves this big girl easily up the highway with LOTS of power. The Caddy tracks straight and brakes evenly, no pulling or fading. She idles perfectly and the suspension is luxurious. Overall, drives like an American classic luxury car should. I
reserve the right to end the auction early as the Caddy is for sale
locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can
assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of
shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a good door to
door auto shipper if you need it. You can see the Fleetwood in a couple of movies coming out in the next year or so: "Blood Ties" and "Zero Stress", the Fleetwood appearing in multiple scenes in both. I recommend registering the car with your local "Picture Cars" company; it's hard to find early 60's convertible Caddies and this looks like the real thing. I've probably got over $9000 into Caddy; I never planned on selling her, but at the moment I need the cash more than the car. Lots of fun to drive, she's a really cool cruiser. Nice custom Caddy which is as much fun to drive as to look at! Be prepared for waves and honking. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230

Dealers mobilize to protect their margins from automaker subscription services
Fri, Aug 24 2018Six individual auto brands — Lincoln, Cadillac, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW and Volvo — have established or are trialing a vehicle subscription service in the U.S. Three third-party companies — Flexdrive, Clutch and Carma — run brand-agnostic subscription services. And three automakers — Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and General Motors — have also launched short-term rental services. Dealers, afraid of how these trends might affect their margins, are building political and lawmaking campaigns to protect their revenue streams. So far, three states are investigating automaker subscriptions, and Indiana has banned any such service until next year. It's certain that those three states are the first fronts in a long political and legal battle. Powerful dealer franchise laws mandate the existence of dealers and restrict how automakers are allowed to interact with customers to sell a vehicle. On top of that, Bob Reisner, CEO of Nassau Business Funding & Services, said, "Dealers and their associations are among the strongest political operators in many states. They as a group are difficult for state politicians to vote against." In California earlier this year, the state Assembly debated a bill with wide-ranging provisions to protect against what the California New Car Dealers Association called "inappropriate treatment of dealers by manufacturers." One of those provisions stipulated that subscription services need to go through dealers, but that item got stripped out when dealers and manufacturers agreed to discuss the matter further. In Indiana, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a moratorium on all subscription programs by dealers or manufacturers until May 1, 2019, to give legislators more time to investigate. Dealers in New Jersey have taken their campaign to the state capitol, asking that the cars in subscription programs get a different classification for registration purposes. Automakers run the current subscription services and own the vehicles. Sign-ups and financial transactions happen online or through apps, leaving dealers to do little more than act as fulfillment centers to various degrees, with little legal recourse as to compensation amounts when they're called on to deliver or service a car. That's a bad base to build on for business owners who've sunk millions of dollars into their operations.
2016 Cadillac CTS-V to hit dealers this summer, start at $83,995*
Wed, Apr 29 2015Cadillac has announced pricing for the 640-horsepower CTS-V, and not only will the new super-sedan outgun its heartiest German rivals, it'll undercut them on price, too. Kicking off at $83,995 (not including a $995 destination charge), the CTS-V is nearly $10,000 less than the 560-hp BMW M5, almost $18,000 less than the 577-hp Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic, and is nearly $25,000 less than the 560-hp Audi RS7. So in case you were wondering, yes, the CTS-V will continue to be one of the auto industry's very best high-performance bargains in its third generation. "V-Series represents the pinnacle of Cadillac, a brand that now makes drivers' cars at the highest level," Cadillac's head honcho Johan de Nysschen said in a statement. "The new CTS-V is essentially two cars in one: a luxury sedan with sophisticated road manners and a track-capable sports car with awe-inspiring performance. This type of car is exclusive, the domain of the few who can access this level of incredible capability. V-Series matches or overtakes the finest cars in this elite class, while being more accessible." As for when you can get your hands on bargain-priced beast, dealers are now accepting orders, with deliveries slated to begin late this summer. Scroll on down for the official release from Cadillac. Next-Generation 640-hp Cadillac CTS-V Launches This Summer U.S. DEALERS BEGIN ACCEPTING ORDERS NOW FOR CADILLAC'S UPCOMING PERFORMANCE ICON DETROIT – Cadillac announced today that U.S. dealers will begin accepting orders for the next-generation 2016 CTS-V, the all-new high-performance sedan that launches in late summer. The 640-hp CTS-V is the second of two all-new V-Series models to come to market in 2015, following the smaller ATS-V coupe and sedan, which launches in late spring. Cadillac's new 2016 V-Series models represent a significant expansion of the brand's elite, high-performance line. Not only are the new V-Series cars elevated in terms of performance, they now reach a broader spectrum of drivers by presenting two distinct personalities, size categories and price points. With a top speed of 200 mph and 0-60 performance in 3.7 seconds, the CTS-V is the most powerful car in Cadillac's 112-year history. The 2016 CTS-V is priced from $83,995. Customers can place orders now with dealers and view additional product information at Cadillac.com. The CTS-V elevates into the elite group of the world's highest-performing sedans.
OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles
Thu, 06 Jun 2013As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles.

These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.
