Hugo, Minnesota, United States

 This 1953 Cadillac Fleetwood Four Door 60S is an almost perfect example of one of the most luxurious cars built in that era.  There were only 109,651 Cadillacs built that year including all models and of that total only 20,000 were Fleetwood 60S models.  This was the top of the line Cadillac most being purchased by Doctors, Lawyers, Corporate CEO's and other top professionals.  Today, only 2,200 of these rare Fleetwoods remain on State auto registries, with an estimated additional 2,000 spread around in junk yards across the Country.  The 1953 Model was the first of the Cadillacs to utilize the 12 volt electrical system, and the one piece rear window.   The engine for 53 was a 331 Cu In V8, rated at 210 HP.  Transmissions were either GM Hydramatic, or Dynaflow depending on whether the car was built before or after the big fire at the Hydramatic production facility.  This car is equipped with the Hydramatic Automatic Transmission.  The speedometer shows 25,890 and that appears to be authentic when one reads the restoration records for the car.  This fine automobile spend most of it's life in Connecticut and later in the early 2000's it shows up in Wisconsin records.  In 2010 the car was documented by an appraisal service in Cloquet, Minnesota and it was most recently appraised by a service in White Bear Lake, MN in February of 2014.  That appraisal listed the cars value at from 60,000 to 70,000.  The receipt file is extensive to say the least - with over $25,000 in chrome plating alone.  The file goes on and on, Professional engine rebuild, transmission, radiator, generator, transmission cooler, new tires, glass, window regulators, window rubbers and the list of small detail parts purchased is endless.  The photos tell the story - look them over good.  The car drives like a Cadillac should.  Smooth, quiet, and fairly quick for it's age and weight.  This is luxury once you sit in these couch like seats.  The interior is just a perfect as the exterior, the dash board is just exquisite in detail and class.  We can be of some assistance with shipping arrangements if that is required, just let us know in advance.  Call before bidding for details that may be missing in the description.  Car has a clear title and is ready to be transferred to you right away.  Sixonetwo Sevenfiveone Five0sevennine will get me anytime during the day in the central time zone for questions.  If the asking price seems to be out of your range, just let me know and I can potentially list a "buy it now" price for you that meets your needs.  Lets get this car to it's new owner quickly. Thanks for looking, appreciated!  Jerry.

Cadillac reveals stretched ATS-L in China

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

In the market for a new Cadillac, but need more space than an ATS can afford? Then you'll want to look at the larger CTS. Unless you live in China, where buyers - often chauffeured instead of driving themselves - seem to prefer a long-wheelbase version of a smaller sedan than upgrading to a larger one. For those buyers, Cadillac has released the new ATS-L.
Based on the existing ATS sports sedan, the ATS-L offers an extra 3.3 inches of rear legroom over the model we get here. As a result, the ATS-L stretches its wheelbase to 112.5 inches and its overall length to 186 inches, while riding a quarter-inch lower than the standard-wheelbase model, which itself was recently updated. That places its length in between the regular ATS and the CTS available Stateside.
Otherwise it's essentially the same sedan, but appears to ditch the base 2.0-liter four to offer either the 2.0-liter turbo four or 3.6-liter V6. Of course this model, produced locally for the Chinese market, isn't likely to make the transpacific voyage to US showrooms, so American buyers will still have to choose between the standard ATS, the larger CTS or the even larger XTS.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
