 This cruiser was a gift from my father in-law in 1994. He bought it from his neighbor in Arizona after she decided she was too old to drive. I drove it home to Wisconsin where it has been since. Never driven in winter but has been in the North too long to qualify as a South Western car. Solid body and frame and a good interior. The original GM lacquer paint was thin from the desert winds and was repainted with a  MAACO  urethane topcoat years ago. Before the paint job some rust was repaired above both wheel wells with metal patches. The body is still rust free except for a small spot about 2 inches long on the trunk lip ( see the photo ). Otherwise it looks pretty good especially from 20 feet away. This is not a show car or restored classic. It is a cleaned and painted  daily driver  with a solid carcass. It always starts ( must pump the gas pedal if it has been sitting long ) and drives well on the highway. The tail pipe from about the rear axle back rusted off so it has a rumble to the exhaust, but at speed not very loud at all. The transmission will leak fluid if not driven at least once a week, drips from the tail piece where it connects to the drive shaft. The vinyl top is in great shape and the rubber weather strip  is soft and pliable. None of the glass is cracked or chipped but does have scratches in spots. The chrome trim is descent and only the bumpers have a few spots with surface rust, ( minor ) . The steering wheel has cracks in the plastic rim, ( see the photo ). The lighting works as does the horn,turn signals,flashers,radio,power seats, power windows etc. The air conditioner worked when I got the car and while the compressor still functions it only cools the car when the temperature outside is in the 40's, Hah! but seriously the heater works well. This cars body is pretty straight as seen in the pictures and if you read this far there must be some attraction for you for an old Caddy of this type. For me the blush is off the peach and I need the room. Notice the price, I am not selling to make enough money to retire on , I just need the space. One last note, someone thought this car would look better without the antenna so they snapped it off, I put in a new power antenna and only connected the co-axial wire so the radio would work, I did not connect the power up/down wires.

GM wants to have 10 plug-in models in China in five years

Sun, Apr 24 2016

Last we checked, General Motors was selling all of three plug-in vehicle models in its home country of the US, and is prepared to make the Chevrolet Bolt EV available on these shores later this year. So it's notable that the automaker is hatching plans to have at least 10 plug-in variants for sale in China within the next five years, according to Hybrid Cars. Which plug-ins are coming remains a mystery. GM started selling a hybrid version of the Buick LaCrosse in China this month. The strategy makes sense, as China is now the world's largest car market, and accounts for about a third of GM's annual revenue. The automaker, which operates in China under the SAIC-GM and SAIC-GM-Wuling joint ventures, sells cars there under the Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, and Boujun badges, and has been doing so for the better part of two decades. Most recently, GM started selling a hybrid version of the Buick LaCrosse in China this month. What we do know is that GM is building its Cadillac CT6 Plug-in Hybrid in China, with distribution to be split between China and the US. That model, which is scheduled to start sales by the end of the year, is being built overseas because of a combination of Chinese government support for new-energy vehicle technology through incentives and the fact that battery-pack maker LG Chem makes most of its cells in nearby South Korea. The plug-ins are part of a broader plan by General Motors to either introduce or substantially tweak about 60 models by the end of the decade. With such new models, GM looks to boost unit sales by as much as five percent a year for the next few years. As for the other nine plug-in models slated for China by 2021, the company is mum. GM spokesman Dan Flores declined to comment to AutoblogGreen.

Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers

Wed, Aug 14 2024

Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.

Watch the 2019 Autoblog Technology of the Year presentation to Cadillac

Wed, Jan 16 2019

Autoblog presented our 2019 Technology of the Year Award to Cadillac at the Detroit Auto Show. Autoblog conducted rigorous testing last fall on the latest automotive technologies, and Cadillac Super Cruise earned top honors, edging out Infiniti's Variable Compression Turbo and Mercedes' EQ technologies, the other two finalists. Super Cruise is a semi-autonomous system that allows for hands-free driving to reduce the driver's workload. Our editors found it easy to use and noted the system simply works as intended. We happily found Cadillac under-promised and over-delivered with Super Cruise, a clever system that truly helps the driver. Super Cruise launched on the CT6 sedan, and Cadillac plans to roll out the feature to other vehicles. Watch the video above as Cadillac President Steve Carlisle receives the 2019 Autoblog Technology of the Year Award from Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore, with Autoblog GM Adam Morath and the editorial team on hand at the Detroit show.
