SELLING THIS CAR FOR A FRIEND WHO DOES NOT HAVE A COMPUTER.  A HARD TO FIND CAR CONSIDERED BY CADILLAC CLUBS AND COLLECTORS TO BE HIGHLY DESIRABLE.  AN AACA FULL CLASSIC.  A DRY CAR WITH LITTLE OR NO RUST, IT HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE - BODY PANELS ARE SOLID AND STRAIGHT.  FIRST TIME OFFERED FOR SALE TO THE PUBLIC.  PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR HAS A HOLE THE SIZE OF A QUARTER WHICH ON INSPECTION APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CUT TO ALLOW WIRES TO PASS THROUGH IT AT ONE TIME. 

EXTERIOR

THERE IS ONE MINOR DENT IN THE LEFT FRONT FENDER ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE PALM OF YOUR HAND AND IT'S VERY SHALLOW - YOU CAN'T SEE IT UNLESS YOU ARE LOOKING VERY CLOSE.  THE ORIGINAL COLORS ACCORDING TO THE FACTORY BODY PLATE ARE CRYSTAL BLUE AND OCEANANA BLUE.  MOST OF THE CHROME LOOKS VERY GOOD, BUT NOT SHOW QUALITY BUT CAN BE POLISHED OR REPLATED ECONOMICALLY.  A FEW PIECES MIGHT NEED REPLATING.  THE STAINLESS CAN BE POLISHED TO LOOK PERFECT.  ALL PARTS APPEAR TO BE WITH THE CAR.  THERE ARE NO APPARENT OR KNOWN MISSING PARTS EXCEPT FOR THE AIR CLEANER.  MOST OF THE GLASS IS IN GOOD CONDITION EXCEPT FOR A FEW PIECES THAT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.  IT IS ALL FLAT GLASS EASILY OBTAINED.

INTERIOR

THE INTERIOR STYLING LOOKS MUCH LIKE A ROLLS ROYCE.  THE ORIGINAL GOLD BROCADE HEAVY GRADE  FABRIC ON THE SEATS APPEARS TO BE UNDERNEATH BUT THE CURRENT FABRIC IS CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL.

OTHER

THE CAR RAN WHEN PARKED SEVERAL YEARS AGO. 

MY FRIENDS RELATIVE STARTED TO RESTORE THE CAR:

1).  REMOVING PARTS AND GENERAL PREPARING FOR REPAINT AND RESTORATION.

2).  HE PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY BEFORE FINISHING THE PROJECT.

3).  NOW RELUCTANTLY THE FAMILY HAS DECIDED TO PART WITH THE CAR.

4).  THEY WANT IT TO GO TO A NEW OWNER WHO WILL APPRECIATE AND PRESERVE IT.

THE FRAME AND UNDERSIDE APPEARS TO BE VERY CLEAN.  IN MY OPINION THE CAR DOESN'T NEED A FRAME OFF RESTORATION.  THE CAR HAS UNDERCOATING IN SOLID CONDITION.  THE CAR NEEDS RESTORATION BEFORE DRIVING.  I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS CAR AS BEST AS I CAN FOR MY FRIEND.  YOU CAN INSPECT THE CAR BEFORE BIDDING IF YOU PREFER.  SEND A MESSAGE THROUGH EBAY TO SETUP AN APPOINTMENT.  I WILL ANSWER ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.  THANK YOU FOR READING THE AD!

Five awesome Lego car creations

Thu, 23 Oct 2014

Lego cars are among our favorite toys. They're fun for play, and if built properly, great to display. With that in mind, we've crafted a list of some of the best creations we've seen. Some are on sale now, while others are merely the work of fanciful enthusiasts. There are even a couple that you definitely cannot buy (we'll explain).
Our choices are diverse, including everything from a diminutive 1969 Chevy Corvette to a fullsize Ferrari Formula One racecar. These are just five projects that caught our eye - there are many more out there - so if you don't see your favorite Lego car on the list (or if you have your own creation), please tell us about it, in Comments.

Cadillac LTS flagship to bow at NY Auto Show

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

There is widespread agreement across the industry that Cadillac needs a proper, rear-drive flagship sedan that completes legitimately with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series.
Fortunately, the same view is held within the company, and just such a car - possibly dubbed LTS - is under development. According to a high-level source at Cadillac, the new four-door, which is said to incorporate design cues from the marque's celebrated Elmiraj coupe concept, will debut at the New York Auto Show next April.
If the car needs a cheerleader, surely incoming president Johan de Nysschen is just such a person. De Nysschen doesn't arrive at Cadillac until late in the month, but certainly he will want a proper flagship to do battle with his old foes at Mercedes-Benz and BMW and old friends at Audi and Infiniti.

Cadillac's de Nysschen won't budge on raised pricing

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

According to new Cadillac boss Johan de Nysschen, it will take between 10 and 15 years to elevate GM's top brand, which was once hailed as "The Standard Of The World," back to prominence in the minds of American customers. And to hear the executive talk of it, the brand is going to have to be willing to see sales falter in the near-term before they recover:
"Either you have to bring your volume aspirations into alignment with reality and accept that you will sell fewer cars... Or you have to drop the price and continue to transact at the prices where you were historically... I think the logical conclusion is that it's better to build off a very solid base in terms of [product] credibility, charge a fair price for the car and realize you have to wait until the volume comes."
In other words, sales will fall before they rise, and the brand has to be okay with that. Notice, too, that de Nysschen speaks of "a fair price" for Cadillac cars and utility vehicles. In this case, "fair" means more than many of the brand's traditional buyers are accustomed to, and roughly in line with the brands and machines Cadillac believes it is competing against. For instance, the newly enlarged 2014 CTS carries a suggested retail price that is over $6,000 higher than it was in 2013, and some trim levels boast an even higher price premium over the models they replace.
