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.

de Nysschen pushes to separate Cadillac, GM

Wed, Aug 12 2015

Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen continues his push to separate his brand from General Motors. After controversially picking up shop and moving to New York's trendy SoHo neighborhood, de Nysschen has now gone on record as saying that within two years, the brand will enjoy "a far higher degree of autonomy and self sufficiency." That autonomy will include the brand reporting its own financial results, independent of GM. But what would such a move do for Cadillac? Well, as de Nysschen explained it to Automotive News, "Cadillac at this state makes a very sizeable contribution to the overall profit at General Motors." If that's truly the case, separating financial announcements serves to emphasize the prosperous character de Nysschen seems so keen on attaching to his brand. But that's only one phase of Cadillac's push to distance itself from GM. De Nysschen is eager to revamp the company's dealership model so that it stands out from other GM brands, calling it a "very profound focus." Those moves, according to AN, including a change to the current dealer incentive model with a particular emphasis on building the brand rather than nailing sales figures. "If you aren't strengthening the brand perception, you should have less reward," de Nysschen told AN. While his goals seem clear, de Nysschen's statements have left us wondering whether they're also somewhat counterintuitive. Emphasizing Caddy's prosperity to potential consumers while incentivizing dealers to move less metal seems more like a tactical move rather than a strategic one. And there's no telling how the new dealership model will impact de Nysschen's goal to hit 500,000 global sales by 2020. Related Video:

Cadillac XT5 platform to underpin three-row crossover

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Cadillac just launched the XT5 crossover to replace the SRX. But that's only the start. Speaking with Automotive News, Caddy president Johan de Nysschen confirmed that a new three-row crossover is also on the way. The seven-seater is based on a stretched version of the flexible platform underpinning the XT5, which we just drove recently. Taking that approach will give the luxury brand a larger crossover to pit against the likes of the Infiniti QX60, Audi Q7, and Volvo XC90 without having to develop one from scratch. It will also give buyers a more car-like alternative to the larger, truck-based Escalade. "It's one of the benefits of having this very flexible architecture. We can expand it, make it longer and wider. That gives us the ability to develop the car very quickly, as opposed to starting from scratch," de Nysschen told AN. "It's not running yet. It is a program request that we initiated with the engineers only last year. They are working at remarkable, record-breaking speed to get us the car." The new model would likely be called the XT7 and offer similar levels of equipment to the existing, smaller XT5. The existing mid-size model packs a 3.6-liter V6 mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and comes in four trim levels. Related Video:

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.
