Thanks for looking at my auction. Must first start by saying that this is my baby and I really hate to part with it but it is no longer practical for me to keep.  My loss, your gain.   You are looking at a rare '92 triple white Coupe deVille.  Never a daily driver, but really a very babied car. Stored winters (NEVER driven in inclement weather) covered, inside an airport hangar in metro Detroit.  It has been detailed regularly and washed almost every time it's driven.  Since I've owned the car, it has never seen an automatic car wash.   About 6 years ago the car was involved in a collision with a deer.   The right side view mirror was damaged, the right rear quarter glass was shattered and the vinyl top (right side) was punctured.  There was no sheet metal damage.   The insurance company totaled the car, I bought the car back from them and had the mirror replaced, right rear quarter glass replaced and the entire vinyl top replaced along with the underlying plastic shell (which gives the vinyl top it's shape.).  At the time that the vinyl top was replaced, the headliner was replaced also, along with the visors, from A pillars and the sail panels in the rear.  

Windshield was replaced at this time as well.  It was poorly installed and leaked, wetting the white headliner so there are faint water stains on the passenger side of headliner near the RH door.  The shoddy windshield job was, of course, redone and installed correctly with another new glass. 
I have kept up with repairs on this car with due diligence, and I will list the parts here: 
Delco GM A/C compressor
Delco GM A/C condenser 
low and high side A/C lines
Delco GM climate control module
Delco GM rear air ride shocks- correct original.  Rear end was beginning to sag, compressor would run often. 
Delco level ride compressor and dryer, as a precaution because it had been over taxed from the leaking air shocks
Delco level ride height sensor
Front struts and springs
Delco GM starter motor
Delco battery (march of this year)
Radiator replaced, along with upper and lower radiator hoses
Front brake pads and rotors
Front sway bar links and both lower ball joints.  
Rear lower ball joints 
Rear sway bar links
New front brake hoses, and lines to rear. 
Rear brake drums and shoes
New front and rear bumpers, new grill, front clip repainted 
Delco power antenna mast and motor 
Both front ABS wheel speed sensors, Delco
Delco power trunk pull down motor and switch 
Oil changes (semi-synthetic) every 6 months regardless of miles. 
Regular brake fluid flushes (should be done yearly on a car that isn't driven much)
Of course fuel filter and engine air filters replaced at correct factory recommended intervals 

Now for the problems
Paint on deck lid and roof is beginning to check as was common on GM cars of this era. 
CD player works sometimes, sometimes not.  CD player has already been rebuilt once, and all internal lamps for the buttons were replaced, using the correct color bulbs to match the other dash lights, it. worked for about a year and then began acting up. I refuse to install an aftermarket radio, as I've never seen one that actually looks nice.  Radio works perfectly AM and FM.   Also a common problem on these older Delco stereos, I've never had one that worked correctly / dependably.  Drivers seat is beginning to show it's age, slight cracking and some of the top layer of dye was peeled off drivers seat back side bolster (the side closest to the door) this does not show up really in the pictures, it's not bad, but I notice it.  Still, the leather on all seats is supple and soft.  Incredibly comfortable car.  Anyone who's owned or ridden in one of these knows- when you sink down into those big plush seats, you know you're in a Cadillac.  There is small area of rust at lower right hand corner of windshield that has been repaired twice and continues to come back. 

This car is a terrific highway cruiser, very smooth plush ride without feeling floaty / boaty.  
Can be expensive to operate being that it requires premium fuel, but power from this V8 is undeniable, it lends a very confident feeling behind the wheel.   A definite wolf in sheep's clothing.  The Vogue tires have about 12,000 miles on them, gold stripe on a couple of them has begun to fade.   The car has had a 4-wheel alignment yearly, whether it needs it or not.   So no uneven tread wear on the tires.   Drives smooth straight and quietly down the road.  In my opinion, this model is one of the best looking cars Cadillac has produced since the 1950's and 60's.  If you don't like attention from other motorists, you probably shouldn't bid on this car.   It turns heads everywhere, it's a very rare trip when I don't get at least one grin and a thumbs up.  This engine and transmission is a strong set up, these cars can go well over 200,000 miles if cared for.  My '93 Sedan deVille was still going strong at 270,00 when i totaled it.   Not sure what else to say in this description other than if you have any questions, please shoot me an email, I'm more than happy to answer questions or take specific pictures you may require.

Carpool Deville aims to be the world's fastest hot tub

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

The world needs crazy inventors with wild dreams. While we might not long for the things that they create, their contraptions certainly make the day a little more enjoyable. Take the Carpool Deville as an example. Nobody (well, almost nobody) is asking for a hot tub fashioned from a 1969 Cadillac that is still drivable. But now that you know that such a beast exists, don't try to tell us you aren't at least intrigued.
The team behind the six-year-long project has a pretty ingenious setup worked out. The Caddy's original 472-cubic-inch (7.7-liter) V8 both provides propulsion and heats the water. The interior is entirely replaced with a watertight, fiberglass tub that includes working jets, and the controls are all done by hand.
As if just building a mobile hot tub isn't enough, the team behind the Carpool Deville plans to take it racing too. Specifically, they intend to go to the Bonneville Salt Flats later this year to make a top speed run while immersed in water at over 100 degrees. They even have a roll cage all set to install to meet the safety requirements there.

Weekly Recap: New bosses try to jump-start Cadillac and Lincoln

Sat, 26 Jul 2014



Both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
