Up for your consideration is a beautiful 1985 Cadillac Seville.  This is a low mileage car with only 74522 miles on it.  To the best of my knowledge this is the correct mileage.  The car is in great shape, and runs and drives well.  Transmission shifts beautifully with no jerking.  The car is equipped with all of the Cadillac options for 1985 except for the sunroof. It does have the factory installed faux convertible top on it which was recently replaced.  It is also equipped with the optional Kelsey Hayes spoke wheels offered by Cadillac at the time.  These wheels are in fair shape with a little discoloration of the chrome on a couple of them, but all in all look really great considering they are about 28 yrs. old. Another option it has that I had installed is a remote 12 disk CD player located in the trunk.  This system works great and is controlled from a controller attached to the dash.  The A/C is climate control as in all Cadillac's and works fine both heating and cooling.  The car is finished in Firethorn Blue and had a repaint about 4 yrs. ago.  The paint still looks really good.  Chrome is in great shape also.  it is equipped with semi-wide white wall tires which have about 60% of their tread left on them.  The interior is all original with the exception of the headliner which was replaced four years ago with the original type material. The seats are all leather and in excellent shape with no tears or major scuffs.  The door panels also in great shape with no cracks or tears in the vinyl.  One thing that does not work on the car is the auto leveling system.  About a year ago the compressor, although it still runs, does not put out enough air pressure to raise the car.  I have been unable to find a replacement compressor, therefore that system is now controlled manually by a valve stem near the gas tank filler under the rear license plate.

For anyone who is a fan of the so called "hump back" design of this generation of Seville this is a great example of a great auto.  This design was used on the Seville from 1980 thru 1985.  One of the complaints about this car was the 4.1 Liter engine not having enough power.  It is true it is a little under powered but it was not meant to be used as a race or drag race car and performs beautifully on the highway.

I drove this car for several years as my daily driver and now in the last several months it has only been out for an occasional car show.

I am listing this with no reserve with what I feel is a low starting bid.  Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

Cadillac considering more engines, Vsport model for Escalade

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Want to roll in the latest Cadillac Escalade? You can get it with a 6.2-liter V8... or a 6.2-liter V8. Cadillac only offers the one engine option. But that may soon change.
According to the latest from Automotive News, Cadillac is contemplating a couple of new powertrain options for its blingin' big ute. The report suggests a twin-turbo V6 and a V6 turbodiesel could be offered, and that Cadillac could create a Vsport version of the Escalade like it offers on the new CTS sedan.
The more diverse engine offerings would help attract buyers from the new Lincoln Navigator, its prime competitor, which switched from a 5.4-liter V8 this year to a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6. The turbo V6 engines (both gasoline and diesel) would also help Cadillac market the Escalade overseas - particularly in Europe, where higher fuel prices preclude the prospect of driving a big V8 SUV for many buyers. Escalade sales have dropped from 35-40k units in the mid-2000s to around 12,000 the past couple of years.

GM reports third straight sales drop in China in 2020

Wed, Jan 6 2021

BEIJING — General Motors' vehicle sales in China fell 6.2% in 2020, as the U.S. automaker suffered a prolonged slowdown in the world's biggest auto market. GM, China's second biggest foreign automaker, delivered 2.9 million vehicles in the country last year, the company said on Wednesday, for a third straight decline in annual sales. But sales have been recovering in the second half of last year, up 12% between July and September and 14% in the final three months. GM has a Shanghai-based joint venture with SAIC Motor, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicle brands are made. It also has another Liuzhou-based venture, with SAIC and Guangxi Automobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of its Buick brand grew 4% on the year and Wuling rose 9%, the statement said. Luxury brand Cadillac's sales increased 8%. Sales of GM's more affordable Baojun brand dropped 33% last year, while sales of its mass-market Chevrolet tumbled 30%. GM's delivery of 2.9 million vehicles in China follows 3.09 million vehicles in 2019, 3.65 million vehicles in 2018, and 4.04 million in 2017, for a three-year decrease of 28%.

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.
