1974 Cadillac Coupe Deville Base 2-door 7.7l (472 C.i.) on 2040-cars

Year:1974 Mileage:59787
Location:

Redondo Beach, California, United States

Redondo Beach, California, United States

This is a beautiful 1974 Coupe De Ville, White over Black Leather. It has black leather seats with a new carpet kit throughout. Even the door panels, which normally show sign of fading, cracking and "elbow wear," are in excellent condition. The dash pad does have a crack in it but I cover it up with a dash mat.  Headliner is in excellent condition. It is the "new appearance" of the inside of the car and great paint that will really attract the period conscientious buyer, all items are correct down to the original floormats.

I inherited this Southern California garaged car in 2013 from the estate of a great uncle who drove this car for 37 years. The mileage is original at 56K.  He had a ranch and two trucks and a Buick and this was his “Sunday car” where he would go and to dance and play bingo.

The engine and transmission are truly mechanically sound. I just had the car tuned with new spark plugs, new wires, pcv valve, a new QuadraJet 750 cfm mechanical choke carburetor with 360 Degree Airfilter.  Very recent oil change and filter, all fluids have been topped off and rear end fluid was drained and refilled.   The car is in great condition.  I chose to do some restoration of parts that would deteriorate with time which included spending money on new front leather interior, carpet kit,  new battery, flush condenser and evaporator, replace some hoses, and service the brakes and new wiper blades. The clock is inoperative (very common on these cars but can be exchanged. 80% all original paint with some very minor imperfections here and there (great uncle was an avid golfer so there is a golf ball dent on the roof) but other than that it is good. There is absolutely no rust in the body panels and underneath the car is solid.  Electric windows, seats, aerial, wipers. Heater blows toasty and A/C is ice cold. The trip meter sometimes gets stuck but the odometer keeps excellent track of its original 56,787. The stereo system has been swapped out for a AM/FM Radio, MP3, Ipod with USB port.  New Sony 6”x9 “ speakers installed professionally on rear deck lid and reupholstered.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.

Combative de Nysschen defends Cadillac move, naming change

Mon, 29 Sep 2014


Johan de Nysschen isn't afraid of taking quick, decisive actions, even if they are criticized. Since taking the wheel at Cadillac, he instigated moving the luxury division's base of operations to Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood and introduced a new naming scheme for the future of the brand, like he did at Infiniti. The polarizing boss recently explained his feelings about the future of Cadillac in more depth on his Facebook page, but unfortunately only his friends could read it. Thankfully, Daily Kanban posted much of the strongly worded missive for the whole world to see.
Much of the message examines the decision to move some employees to New York. De Nysschen claims that it's all about giving Cadillac distance from Detroit to reshape itself. It allows for, "No distractions. No side shows. No cross-brand corporate considerations. No homogenized lowest common denominator approach. Just pure, unadulterated, CLASS."
