Cadillac Seville Gorgeous Champagne California Car on 2040-cars
Springfield, Missouri, United States
|
Up for bids is my gorgeous 1976 Cadillac Seville. This is a rust free California car that has never seen a winter. I had the car shipped to my storage facility in Springfield Missouri
last year in April 2013. I purchased the vehicle from a gentleman who bought the car from the original owner. The original owner had lost her husband many years ago and she kept the car using it infrequently until she was no longer able to drive. This would account for the very low mileage. The fellow I bought the car from had not owned it very long. He was unable to get the car running properly. The cold start was the primary issue. He had it to several shops trying different things to no avail. I had a pretty good idea what to look for when I made a deal to purchase the car. When I saw the car arrive on the transport truck from California I was just thrilled. We like to never got it running and off the truck but finally it reluctantly started and I was able to get it into my garage. The problem was nothing more than a simple coolant sensor. Finding that coolant sensor took some doing but I finally located one in Oklahoma City. It was a NOS new sensor right in the original GM box. I installed the sensor and the car now starts and runs perfectly. I also removed the entire fuel rail and replaced all the old O-rings. I had one bad fuel injector and just cleaned the other injectors. The car hits the road now like a champ, has lots of power and NO hesitations or stumbles. Finally I did have the entire cooling system and heater core back flushed and the pressure tested. The car is in excellent mechanical condition and could be driven anywhere. To my knowledge the only known defect is that the cruise is not working. The climate control system works properly, heat and defrost as well as cold air. The car is sitting on four new radial tires. The body on this car is super nice and straight. It is an original car with original paint which is slightly faded. The vinyl roof is in very good condition not cracked or torn but slightly faded. In one of my pictures it should show a slight separation of the vinyl away from the lower trim molding for the top. There is one very small minor imperfection in the paint about the size of a silver dollar and it is located on a lower panel. I tried to get a picture of that also. The interior is beautiful on this car. It's one of the nicest original un-restored cars I've seen. My problem is and always has been that I have too many old cars. Last fall a Buick Riviera became available and I bought that car. I only have room in my storage building for four cars. So, I decided to let the Seville go. However, every time I get in that car and drive it I say to myself, "you're crazy to sell this car, where do you find one this nice?" I have been putting off listing this car for two months now simply because I hate to see it go. Well, it's either the Caddy, the Riviera or build another storage building. Someone bidding on this auction is going to get one fine '76' Seville! |

GM To Offer Car That Will Almost Drive Itself
Mon, Sep 8 2014Cars that can talk to each other and almost drive themselves at freeway speeds are just two years away from the showroom, according to General Motors executives. The company announced Sunday that the semi-autonomous system for freeways will be an option on an unidentified new 2017 Cadillac that goes on sale in the summer of 2016. In addition, another 2017 Cadillac, the CTS, will be equipped with radio transmitters and receivers that will let it communicate with other cars, sharing data such as location, speed and whether the driver is applying the brakes. The announcements were made Sunday at the opening of the Intelligent Transportation Society World Congress being held in Detroit this week. They are part of a barrage of similar declarations that are expected from other companies throughout the week as the industry shows off progress toward self-driving and safer cars. The freeway system, dubbed "Super Cruise," uses cameras and radar to keep the car in the center of a lane and also stay a safe distance behind cars in front of it. The system will bring the car to a complete stop if traffic halts without driver action, and it can keep the car going in stop-and-go traffic. Other automakers, such as Mercedes-Benz, now offer similar systems that work at low speeds, but GM says it's the first to announce a system that operates at highway speeds. Others could have freeway systems in two years, though. "If the mood strikes you on the high-speed road from Barstow, California, to Las Vegas, you can take a break from the wheel and pedals and let the car do the work," CEO Mary Barra said in remarks prepared for the conference's keynote address on Sunday. But GM said the car still won't drive itself, and the company is working on a system to monitor drivers to make sure they're still paying attention. Details of that system weren't released. "Sensing technology is not yet to the point where the driver can check out," said John Capp, GM's director of global safety strategy. "This is a level of automation that can be done, that is feasible." The new Cadillac that will get Super Cruise hasn't been officially announced yet. But executives have hinted that GM will build a big rear-drive Caddy to lead its lineup in the coming years. Also Sunday, the Michigan Department of Transportation announced that it will partner with GM, Ford Motor Co.
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
Cadillac confirms 420-hp twin-turbo V6 for 2014 CTS [w/videos]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013The 2014 CTS will break cover next week at the New York Auto Show, but Cadillac has released a few details of what we can expect to find under the car's hood. As we saw in some spy shots back in January, the biggest news for the midsize Caddy will be a twin-turbocharged V6 producing a whopping 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
This LF3 engine will be paired to a new eight-speed automatic transmission, which will help balance performance and fuel economy. We still don't know how much the 2014 CTS has grown in terms of size and weight, but General Motors says that new sedan will return 17 miles per gallon in the city and 25 mpg highway with the new engine to go with a 0-60 mile per hour time of 4.6 seconds - that means the new CTS will have the fuel economy close to the current base model sedan and acceleration not too far from the current CTS-V. General Motors also confirmed that this twin-turbo V6 will be available in the 2014 XTS this fall.
The next-generation CTS will carry over the 3.6-liter V6 from the current car (likely as a base engine) and also add the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder from the ATS. Check out all the details on this new engine and watch a few videos (including GM's nifty tilt rig) by scrolling below.
