Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine 1959 on 2040-cars
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
Here is a Cadillac Fleetwood series 75 Limousine. With the largest "fins" to ever come out of Detroit, the 59' Cadillac Fleetwood is an American icon. The golden age of big American cars. This Cadillac was bought by my grandparents in San Rafael California in 1984 at an outfit called Scandinavian Motors. The car has been sitting for several years in the dry air of Albuquerque, New Mexico (cars here rarely rust). While looking over the whole car I did not find any rust except for a spot on the hood where paint had peeled, and on the glove compartment door. My grandparents kept every paper they have on the car, I know that before they put it into the backyard that the engine had been rebuilt. As far a running condition I put a little gas in the carburetor and used some engine starter and it turned over about twelve or so times before it ran out of gas. It sounded just fine for the short time I heard it run. If you have any questions I should be able to answer a lot from the papers records as well as my grandparents.
The car cannot be driven out of the drive way. This car will need a new battery, engine starter, new tires to be driven, possibly more. It can start but I have not tried to drive it. |

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Cadillac issues stop-sale on recalled CTS, SRX
Mon, 21 Jul 2014General Motors has issued a stop-sale order on the Cadillac CTS and SRX, both of which were recalled late last month. Why the stop-sale after all this time? Well, um, GM apparently doesn't know how to fix them.
The stop-sale covers all used Cadillac CTS sedans, coupes and wagons from model years 2003 to 2013, as well as new 2014 coupes and wagons. The SRX crossover stop-sale, meanwhile, only covers used vehicles from model years 2004 to 2006.
Automotive News reached out to GM spokesperson Alan Adler, who told the news pub that the company's engineers were "looking at one common solution" for the affected vehicles, although "they don't have it yet."
