The seats ARE ALL THEIR rear """jump seats""" are in great shape they all the only part of the interior that is still preserved from being folded up inside the back of the front seat. Pass rear tire loses air over night. it has all 4 original rims and hub caps. limo has history from sun valley resort in Idaho Here is the story of how I bought it. I was living in Hailey Idaho, in 1999 a friend and I were 4x4ing and sticking out of the entrance of the triumph silver mines just south of sun valley was this Cadillac. I was selling cars at a local dealership and he called me a few weeks after and ask me to see if I would find out if it was for sale, 5 months later it was, $5000 in the local paper. I called, went, spoke, and towed it away. His wife said No way. thus I was pinched for the cost, I towed it to Southern Cal replaced the wheal bearing, brakes, tune up and took it for a test drive. Moved to Northern cal, pulled the engine and tranny out and swapped it with what is in now. I do not have the engine and tranny I pulled due the fact I gave it away 9 years ago, some guy put it in his qtr mile race truck. The engine runs, I have done 3 oil changes and every time its chocolate milk, all other parts that are missing in pics are in trunk. A few missing parts are missing but obtainable. When I bought it, I went to the resort and library were there are over 2 dozen photos of 2 limos sitting in front of resort with famous actors politicians and Ernest Hemingway himself sitting on hood/bumper with Cary Grant. call the resort to confirm. The other limo is in Utah, being used as a taxi was what I was told. I bought a pass side front door and other misc stainless parts, the only parts that are missing are the rear qtr chrome fins that go on the bullet shaped parts on the rear qtrs, the pass rear door and pass rear qtr panel need some metal shaping and or replacing, you can get a pass rear door for $800 from cadillac parts on line, they say they have it. I have had this for 15 years with a dream of restoring one day as a road trip cruiser. Its priced to sell. I replaced front windshield with used glass but still needs rubber weathering striping I called metro and they sent me a sample, needs front door vent glass and one rear door glass replaced, I made polycarbonate ones to seal it up due to rain and rats. yes their might be a few thinking its a Cadillac Resort! |

2015 Cadillac Escalade configurator lets you bling it your way
Fri, 21 Mar 2014It's Friday, so there must be a new configurator to play with. While last week we showed you how to build your own McLaren 650S, today's ride is a bit more common. It's the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, a vehicle that you've been able to colorize since the end of last year, and which is sure to be an increasingly common sight on US roads in the coming months.
For those that have played with the build-your-Caddy tool, there's not much new here, aside from the vehicle being configured. The Escalade is available in three trims and two wheelbases, with prices spanning from the SWB, two-wheel-drive Standard, which starts at $72,690, on to the all-wheel-drive, long-wheelbase ESV Premium, which kicks off at $86,790. The options list, meanwhile, isn't hugely extensive. A rear-seat entertainment system and power-retractable side-steps (only available on the Premium trim) are the two notable options, while customers will have their choice of six exterior paints and two to three interior schemes, depending on the trim level.

GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles
Mon, 16 Jun 2014General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.
GM extending warranties on Cadillac CTS-V and Chevy Camaro ZL1 for supercharger issue
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Okay General Motors, we've sat by and watched you recall the compact cars, crossovers and pickup trucks, and aside from reporting on it, we've been fairly quiet. This, though, this will not do. We can almost tolerate the recalls on the bread-and-butter cars, but leave the performance vehicles alone.
According to a report from The Car Connection, GM has discovered a problem with the superchargers of the 6.2-liter V8s found in the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and the Cadillac CTS-V. Apparently, the issue rests around the internal bearing shaft grease, which can become contaminated (we aren't sure with what). If left unchecked, it'll first lead to a rattle at idle, which goes away under slight throttle. The real warning stage is when a high-pitched squeal develops, signaling that the bearing shaft has failed. Naturally, severe engine damage is the next step (although it's possible that the engine will also just refuse to turnover, although neither case is desirable).
According to TCC, GM will replace the superchargers on vehicles that have exhibited symptoms of bearing shaft failure free of charge. It will also, allegedly, be extending the warranty on all supercharged ZL1s and CTS-Vs to 10 years or 120,000 miles (whichever comes first), from the date of purchase. Officially, only 2009 to 2013 CTS-Vs and 2012 to 2013 ZL1s are suffering from this issue.
