1969 Caddy Convertible, Black W/ White Top on 2040-cars
Lexington, Alabama, United States
|
1969 Cadilliac DeVille Convertible, ! 472 V-8, series 683, 6 passenger. 45 year old "Classic Ride", 225" long (18'-9") It's a head turner, and everyone waves at you! It had a restoration done in 2002/03 but has spent a lot of nights outside since then. It looks great from a few feet away but it does have a few issues. Nothing major, just typical 45 year old car things. See the "condition description". But as my buddy said the other day "It Rides and Drives Like a Cadillac"! But seriously it does drive and ride good and cranks up every time. I made a 100 mile round trip in it a few weeks ago. The wife loves it but I have too many toys to keep it. It has black cloth seats that are in good shape (the previous owner said the leather was too hot). NOTE: This is a 45 year old car with a 12 year old restoration job. Looks good from several away, but does have a few rust bubbles on qtr panel and trunk lid. The vinyl top has a place where it has pulled loose on the back passenger side. The passenger fender, door and qtr panel looks to have been worked in the past. Convertible top is a little slow. Sounds like it has a manifold leak. What does not work; air conditioner, radio, power seats, fuel gauge, clock & I don't have a trunk key but the remote switch in the glove box works. This car does not have a title, Alabama does not require titles on cars of this age. Bill of sale only. Local pickup only. |

Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

C7 Corvette won't spawn new Cadillac XLR [w/video]
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Between the new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray and the even newer Cadillac Elmiraj Concept shown off at Pebble Beach, we were already expecting some sort of chatter of a Cadillac XLR redux. During an in-depth C7 Corvette discussion with Tadge Juechter, the car's chief engineer, Fox News asked if a Corvette-based, Bowling Green-built Cadillac will be built off the C7. Non-spoiler alert: the answer is no.
Juechter says that General Motors has "no intent" on transforming this car into a Cadillac product since the C7 has been optimized for the Corvette buyer, a consumer that's generally a different sort of person than a Cadillac intender who might also be cross-shopping a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class or BMW 6 Series.
While we're not ready to write off a future XLR altogether, we assume that the Corvette Cadillac experiment is most likely never going to happen again. The interview with Juechter is posted below, but the XLR discussion comes in at the 9:00 mark.
Cadillac to move select offices from Detroit to Manhattan?
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Under Johan de Nysschen, Infiniti moved its headquarters from Yokohama, Japan, to Hong Kong. Now at Cadillac, it appears the company's new president could be planning a relocation of at least some of the brand's operations from Detroit to Manhattan, according to a new report from Reuters.
In the case of Infiniti, de Nysschen pushed for the move because moving away from the brand's Nissan overlords would allow it a bit more freedom. It's evidently a similar case for Cadillac, with Reuters speculating that such a move would help distance the brand from the corporate culture in Detroit. A Big Apple move could also attract new talent that may have considered a job with the brand but were put off by the idea of living in Detroit.
It's important to note that if such a move takes place, it likely won't affect the folks actually responsible for developing the brand's vehicles. Instead, administrative functions, including marketing, could be the focus of the relocation.
