1960 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special Still On Air Suspension on 2040-cars
Troutville, Virginia, United States
This was recently removed from 39 years of barn storage and is still on a complete factory air suspension system all the way down to the correct air cleaner. The system would partially air up through the Schrader valve on the expansion tank but currently has wood blocks holding the suspension up. The engine is totally complete but is stuck, all 4 windows work, the radio plays and the antenna will go up but does not want to go back down. It has 2 correct hubcaps, all of the trim is there except 2 eyebrows and a few hash marks. Most of the stainless is good or repairable with the worst damage being on the passenger side rocker molding which has a long deep scrape in it, rear grille is very nice. Bumpers are straight, the passenger rear end is rusted through and the drivers front upper end is also rusted through in an odd spot. Body is fairly straight with some dings and a dent in the passenger front fender near the top, visible in pictures, and there is a dent in the drivers rear quarter. Rust: drivers fender has rust in the bottom and on top next to the hood, all 4 doors are solid both rear quarter appear solid, trunk lid is solid, hood is solid but has some rust on passenger side front lip on the corner under the eyebrow, interior floors as best I can tell are good and solid, trunk floor is solid but has rust on both sides behind the wheel house in the usual spots. Both rockers have rust with the drivers side being the worst. Looks like where the car sat on the barn floor with the air suspension being all the way down it took its toll on mainly the rockers. The interior is in pretty decent shape for its age and appears to have had the dealer installed factory seat covers on it since new so more than likely the original seats are pretty nice, door panels are complete and in decent shape other than being soiled, the original carpet is still intact, dash pad is cracked and the mice have been in the headliner but it is also still intact. The original owners manual and pouch is still there as well as the jack is in the trunk. Options include air suspension, air conditioning, Autronic Eye, power vents, power door locks, tinted glass (all the glass is good). This is a rare and unusual car that needs a full restoration or would make an excellent parts car for an Eldorado. I have a lot more pictures so send me your email address if you would like to see more. The car is stored at my home so if someone wants to see it please let me know and we will make arrangements for you to see the car. Once the auction completes high bidder please send me your PayPal address so I can invoice you for the $300 deposit required within 48 hours of the close of the auction. Payment must be made in certified funds before the vehicle is picked up and the transaction musty be completed within 30 days. Car has no brakes but rolls freely so loading should not be an issue. Transportation is the responsibility of the purchaser. Over sea's buyers I will be happy to work with brokers for pick up and delivery but will not deliver to a port. Please only bid if you are seriously interested in buying the vehicle, I don't have time for petty scams. |

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe
Thu, 30 Oct 2014Cadillac has become a very, very different company since the dawn of the new millenium. Its turn-of-the-century lineup, consisting of staid offerings like the Seville, DeVille and Eldorado, represented the Old Cadillac. These cars were plagued with Old GM quality issues and catered to a more elderly audience. Since the company's Art and Science design language arrived, though, we've seen Cadillac flesh out its lineup in a big way, introducing notable and (so far) enduring products, like the the CTS, SRX and most recently, the ATS.
With the CTS tackling the 5 Series segment and the SRX duking it out with the Lexus RX and its classmates, the ATS has been left with the tough task of battling the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, among others. Critically, at least, it has excelled in this role, but it's still working on finding its feet sales-wise. On paper, broadening the model range by adding a two-door personal luxury coupe could help.
After a week with the ATS Coupe, though, we've found a car that, while retaining the standard model's excellent driving character, doesn't quite offer enough visual excitement to stand up to other cars in its segment.
2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6 AWD
Wed, 27 Feb 2013All-Wheel, All Right
There is no escaping the luxury all-wheel drive empire Audi has built for itself over the past 15 years. While nearly every high-end marque has at least one offering with power at all four corners, the hardware can't help but play second fiddle to Ingolstadt's Quattro kingdom. Leather-lined all-wheel drive is simply Audi the way minimum wage is an English degree. But General Motors seems hell-bent on raiding as many established fiefdoms as possible with the 2013 Cadillac ATS. Engineers and designers made no secret of the fact that the baby Cadillac was penned specifically to take on the BMW 3 Series, but Audi should be no less concerned about the newest luxury prince from Detroit.
GM has been stuffing all-wheel drive systems under their vehicles for years, but the effort hasn't come without nasty side effects. Unfortunate understeer, extra ride height, smallish wheels and porky curb weight meant opting for all-wheel drive was like signing your driving pleasure's death warrant. Would you like polished brass or brushed nickel hardware for your right foot's coffin, sir?
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac 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.
