I am selling my 1973 Cadillac Coupe Deville. I want to be perfectly clear and if anything under-represent this car because the last thing I want to do is sell something to someone and have them think it is one thing and it be another.

As you can see in the video the car is in nice shape and is original. I wouldn't go as far as to say that the car needs a restoration, however the exterior needs some attention. The car has ~40,000 miles. It was purchased in 1973 in Rhinelander, WI from Birginal Pontiac Cadillac. I have a bunch of old paperwork that goes with the car and it is very interesting to look through it all. I am the third owner of this car. I purchased it in the summer of 2011. It had about 37,000 miles on it when I picked it up. I bought it from the 2nd owners in Rhinelander, WI. The 2nd owners knew the original owners and purchased the car from their estate sale back around 1999. I love this car and it really is a fine car. I would like to hang onto it however, I have come to the realization that I do not have the time or excess funds to do the things that I want with it (paint job, minor body work, etc. etc.). So I figured I will let someone else take that project on. The car runs very strong. It cruises on the highway and really rides smoothly. When you start it, the car runs smooth, there is no color to the exhaust.. I have never had to add oil or anything like that between oil changes, but as you can imagine...a 41 year old car will leak a drop or two here or there. As I noted in the video, I have 100% confidence in driving this car ANYWHERE. I drove it 60+ mile round trips for days at a time to work and back when my everyday driver was being serviced. It is fun to drive and very reliable. The car shifts very smoothly and brakes well. I would say that this car needs nothing done to it mechanically and could be picked up and driven home anywhere. As seen in the youtube video, there is a trim piece on the front under the headlights that has cracked and come loose. Here are some of the car details:
7.7L V8, Auto, Power windows/locks/seats

Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you want to see the car. I can be reached by phone or email.  I can face time on iphone or ipad if you want to look over the car via video chat.

Cadillac Lyriq EV debut delayed by Covid-19 virus

Tue, Mar 10 2020

The, coronavirus, otherwise dubbed Covid-19, has claimed another large gathering. General Motors canceled the public debut of its coming Cadillac Lyriq crossover, planned for April 2 in Los Angeles, due to fears over the continued spread of the virus. With more than 14 confirmed cases of residents with Covid-19, Los Angeles declared a state of emergency last week. Michael Albano, a communications director at GM, said in an e-mail to The Verge that "Our top priority is the safety of our media guests and employees." At the time of writing there's no word on a potential new date for the reveal for the highly anticipated crossover that GM just announced last week at a private event in Warren, Michigan. However, the automaker provided Autoblog with a statement that read, in part, "Please know we are working to reschedule the reveal as soon as possible." What we know about the Lyriq is just as compelling as what we don't know. There XT5-sized people hauler will be out to dazzle in every way, with a ton of weight on its shoulders — many will be judging GM's and Cadillac's past and claimed preparedness for the future based on this one offering. The Lyriq will be the first GM EV to sit on a new EV architecture the engineers call BEV3 and the marketers call Ultium, with battery capacities up to 200 kWh and a potential range of 400 miles. Speaking of which, GM just applied to trademark the term Tecra with the US Patent and Trademark Office, so we could be in for more information on innovative battery systems in the not-too-distant future. The automaker could forgo a public debut for the time being and opt to livestream the event. Or, who knows, it's possible the Detroit Auto Show just garnered itself a whopping debut for the show's debut event in June; the first rendering of the Lyriq aired at last year's Detroit show.

Cadillac Lyriq electric crossover reveal date announced

Thu, Jun 25 2020

The Cadillac Lyriq will be the company's first fully electric car, and it was due to be shown back in April. Then the coronavirus pandemic happened and screwed everything up. But now we have a new reveal date for the Lyriq: August 6, 2020.    The date comes to us via a teaser video. It showcases a variety of high-tech Cadillac features over the decades from electric start to OLED instrument displays. But it also occasionally drops a shot of the Lyriq itself. One shot shows part of the grille, which is solid with many LED light strakes. We also see the door panel with beautiful wood trim and inlaid LED patterns. Autoblog Green editor John Snyder has already seen the Lyriq at GM's electric vehicle summit. He noted that it has 22-inch wheels, tall taillights, and a 34-inch instrument and infotainment display spanning the width of the dashboard. 

Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectively— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!
