West Islip, New York, United States

1958 Cadillac Sedan DeVille extended deck model. I am moving in July and need to sell it ASAP. Reasonable reserve and will remove to meet close bidders!

This 58 caddy is a multiple trophy/award winner at shows. True and original survivor car. Original paint in most parts (some respray may have been done but matching job must have been done expertly, so you can't really tell), original interior and carpet, original 365ci 310hp 8cyl engine - all in excellent shape for a retirement-aged car. Recently new carberator, drum brakes, battery. Brand new starter/solenoid. Solid straight car with great metal. Only 72,291 miles! Speedo works, trip meter works, wipers work, odometer works, horn works, headlights work, reverse lights work and blinkers work. Power windows work, though you should be cautious with the front driver's side and guide it down at first (sometimes it sticks up top). Power antenna and original AM radio both work. No trunk rot, no floor rot - a rust free car. I drive it every weekend in the nice weather, and it will start right up for you after months of not using. Always passes inspection with ease. This is a real gem - even the headliner is immaculate.

The negatives? Not many, and they're minor. Some parts of the paint job (one rear driver's side quarter panel and part of driver side roof) look like they have lost a bit of their shine, but very minimal and I think a detail job or a good thorough waxing will bring it up to par. Small ding in rear bumper chrome. A few spots in rear chrome are foggy. One or two very small trim pieces around rear headlights have some pitting in the chrome. Occasional lifter noise but an oil change to straight 30 and some marvel mystery oil or lucas oil stabilizer should do the trick. Occasional oil drip from the rear main seal - but I haven't had to add oil in the two years that I've had it. Power seat needs a new motor (electric is fine). One particular 9 amp fuse for interior lights occasionally blows out. Gas gauge is hit or miss - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (mostly it doesn't). Likely a problem with the in-tank float. Rear seat has some stitching undone between leather and fabric - not ripped, only lack of thread or sewing string. Last would be that it probably could use a new or refurbished neutral safety switch. Sometimes I need to jiggle the shifter up and down before turning the key, but that's rare.

It's an honest car, with nothing to hide. Frankly it is incredible; you will turn heads and grab the attention of everyone you pass. There aren't many others like it around. Big beautiful and elegant fins. I love it but I'm moving into Manhattan. I've owned the car for almost two years, but I have a neat and organized binder of all the receipts and service slips, motor manuals and cadillac shop books/literature from the two prior owners as well.

I typically show it on Saturday evenings at the Bob's / McDonalds in West Islip on Sunrise Hwy, and also Sunday mornings at the old OBI parking lot, if you happen to be local.

I will not be responsible for shipping, and payment will be by wire transfer into a dedicated account or by cash in hand. Thanks for your time, and good luck bidding! I hope it goes to a good home.

OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

As 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. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
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.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.

2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport [w/video]

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Bridging The Gap With Power And Poise
As you read these words, West Coast Editor Michael Harley is preparing to drive the brand-new 2014 Cadillac CTS along the gorgeous, sun-drenched roads of Southern California. And while I'll wait for Harley's full report before I put words in his mouth, I'm willing to bet he enjoys the hell out of Cadillac's new CTS. In fact, I'm sure of it.
I say this with confidence because, about a month ago, I spent the better part of a day flogging the new CTS Vsport around the 2.9-mile Milford Road Course - a challenging circuit laid out in the infield of an oval test track at GM's proving grounds in southeast Michigan. The MRC was built about a decade ago after Bob Lutz was lured out of retirement to work closely with GM's product development team, and thus, this circuit is known informally as the "Lutz Ring." The main objective of the MRC was to have an in-house facility for engineers to fine-tune vehicle dynamics, without having to constantly schlep cars over to Germany's infamous Nürburgring. (Of course, they still do.)
