I am selling my 1973 Cadillac Coupe Deville. I want to be perfectly clear and if anything under-represent this car because the last thing I want to do is sell something to someone and have them think it is one thing and it be another.

As you can see in the video the car is in nice shape and is original. I wouldn't go as far as to say that the car needs a restoration, however the exterior needs some attention. The car has ~40,000 miles. It was purchased in 1973 in Rhinelander, WI from Birginal Pontiac Cadillac. I have a bunch of old paperwork that goes with the car and it is very interesting to look through it all. I am the third owner of this car. I purchased it in the summer of 2011. It had about 37,000 miles on it when I picked it up. I bought it from the 2nd owners in Rhinelander, WI. The 2nd owners knew the original owners and purchased the car from their estate sale back around 1999. I love this car and it really is a fine car. I would like to hang onto it however, I have come to the realization that I do not have the time or excess funds to do the things that I want with it (paint job, minor body work, etc. etc.). So I figured I will let someone else take that project on. The car runs very strong. It cruises on the highway and really rides smoothly. When you start it, the car runs smooth, there is no color to the exhaust.. I have never had to add oil or anything like that between oil changes, but as you can imagine...a 41 year old car will leak a drop or two here or there. As I noted in the video, I have 100% confidence in driving this car ANYWHERE. I drove it 60+ mile round trips for days at a time to work and back when my everyday driver was being serviced. It is fun to drive and very reliable. The car shifts very smoothly and brakes well. I would say that this car needs nothing done to it mechanically and could be picked up and driven home anywhere. As seen in the youtube video, there is a trim piece on the front under the headlights that has cracked and come loose. Here are some of the car details:
7.7L V8, Auto, Power windows/locks/seats

Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you want to see the car. I can be reached by phone or email.  I can face time on iphone or ipad if you want to look over the car via video chat.

2014 Cadillac CTS

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

Fixated By Europeans, GM Ensures The Third Time Is A Charm
Few things are better for consumers than competition raising the bar. And no campaign seems fiercer than the one currently underway in the midsize sport-sedan segment now that Cadillac has introduced its all-new 2014 CTS to go head-to-head against the benchmark Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
While the CTS has been on the market for slightly more than a decade, up until this third-generation, Cadillac hasn't truly had the proper high-performance rear-wheel-drive architecture to build a genuine world-class fighter, both inside and out. And now that the American automaker has successfully mirrored Audi, BMW and Mercedes in overall vehicle size, engine output and cabin appointments, the first shots have been fired.

GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.

Cadillac V-Series Academy comes to Las Vegas [w/video]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

General Motors has added another high-speed education course to the curriculum at the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. The desert track already hosts the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School with Chevrolet Corvettes, including the ZR1, and they've just added the Cadillac V-Series Academy.
Open now, the one- and two-day performance driving school teaches "the finer points of high performance driving" using the 556-horspower instructional aids known as the CTS-V sedan, coupe and wagon. This is different than than using the CTS-V at the Monticello Motor Club on the east coast - that's part of a sponsorship deal that Cadillac has with the track. The driving course at the Motorsports Ranch is its own program that was developed by Fellows, and we have no reason to think the Cadillac edition won't be just as thorough and enjoyable as the one with Corvettes.
Unlike the 'Vette edition, however, it doesn't appear that you get an invitation to the program if you buy a CTS-V model. Classes are capped at 12 participants and run $1,295 for a single day, $2,295 for two days. There are a video and a press release below with more info.
