1952 Cadillac Fleetwood Rust Free From Califorina on 2040-cars

Year:1952 Mileage:98209
Location:

Canadensis, Pennsylvania, United States

Canadensis, Pennsylvania, United States

 This Fleetwood was brought to the East Coast in 1989 and has been garage kept. The Cadillac has been re-painted many years ago in a darker shade of green than the original and should be painted again as the paint that is on there now will not hold a shine. The original color can be seen in the pictures under the hood and trunk lid. They did change to the darker green in the door jambs.

The body, floor boards and frame are solid except for some surface rust. There are no holes anywhere. It appears to be complete with no parts missing and all the trim is in good shape with only the 2 vertical moldings on the rear doors having some dings and a few minor dents. The chrome is ok except for the grille which you can see from the pictures has the plating wore off but is very solid.

The interior has had seat covers installed and I have no idea what is under them. The door panels and carpet need to be replaced but are serviceable as they are. The trunk lining should be replaced also. All glass is good and all gauges work. I have not tried the radio but did try the vacuum antenna and it tries to go up on it's own but will not come down without some help. The windows work from the master switch but the left rear does not operate from the switch on the door itself. I'm sure all the contacts need cleaning.

 Tires are 2 years old and show no signs of dry rot or cracking. It has a good brake pedal and stops reasonably well for a car of this size. The transmission shifts good and the fluid has good color. The oil and filter have just been changed and a tune-up done, new plugs, points, cap and wires. The valve cover gaskets were replaced and everything looked good when we removed them, clean and no build up of gunk. The odometer shows 98,209 which I believe are the original miles although I have no way to verify that. 

I welcome you or your representative to come and inspect the vehicle before purchase. Any questions please give me a call as I have tried to explain all I know about the car. I can be reached at  570-460-8395 EST or email thru eBay. Vehicle is sold as-is with no warranty expressed or implied. Payment must be made in full before vehicle leaves my property and title released. I will accept a bank wire transfer, personal check or cash in person. All funds must clear before vehicle is released. I would like the vehicle removed within 30 days close of auction.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
