Up for auction is a beautiful example of American Luxury; a 1968 Cadillac Fleetwood 'Sixty Special' Brougham sedan. This is the 9th Generation Fleetwood that was produced between 1964 through 1970. The car was the flagship and most luxurious Cadillac model of that year. It was purchased new and owned by my Great Aunt Maude and spend its life in the warm sunny skies of Florida. As you can tell by the pictures, the car is in excellent condition. Everything works as it should, and she drives and shifts through the gears perfectly. Back in 1988, my aunt was planning on moving back to New England, so at just over 42,000 miles, she had the car completely restored by Palm Beach Cadillac (hence why the listed mileage is 99,999). Unfortunately, she never made the trip, she passed away. My dad and I took the car and prepared it for storage, and put it up on jacks and left it in our barn. Fast forward 25 years. The car was filled with fluids, tuned up, new battery and she runs like a top. the only thing I had to do was rebuild the front drum breaks, so now they are new. The car is for sale locally (along with a 1971 Fleetwood that was her sisters car), so I may have to end the auction earlier. Good luck bidding!!!

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
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.
