Thanks for looking at my auction. Must first start by saying that this is my baby and I really hate to part with it but it is no longer practical for me to keep.  My loss, your gain.   You are looking at a rare '92 triple white Coupe deVille.  Never a daily driver, but really a very babied car. Stored winters (NEVER driven in inclement weather) covered, inside an airport hangar in metro Detroit.  It has been detailed regularly and washed almost every time it's driven.  Since I've owned the car, it has never seen an automatic car wash.   About 6 years ago the car was involved in a collision with a deer.   The right side view mirror was damaged, the right rear quarter glass was shattered and the vinyl top (right side) was punctured.  There was no sheet metal damage.   The insurance company totaled the car, I bought the car back from them and had the mirror replaced, right rear quarter glass replaced and the entire vinyl top replaced along with the underlying plastic shell (which gives the vinyl top it's shape.).  At the time that the vinyl top was replaced, the headliner was replaced also, along with the visors, from A pillars and the sail panels in the rear.  

Windshield was replaced at this time as well.  It was poorly installed and leaked, wetting the white headliner so there are faint water stains on the passenger side of headliner near the RH door.  The shoddy windshield job was, of course, redone and installed correctly with another new glass. 
I have kept up with repairs on this car with due diligence, and I will list the parts here: 
Delco GM A/C compressor
Delco GM A/C condenser 
low and high side A/C lines
Delco GM climate control module
Delco GM rear air ride shocks- correct original.  Rear end was beginning to sag, compressor would run often. 
Delco level ride compressor and dryer, as a precaution because it had been over taxed from the leaking air shocks
Delco level ride height sensor
Front struts and springs
Delco GM starter motor
Delco battery (march of this year)
Radiator replaced, along with upper and lower radiator hoses
Front brake pads and rotors
Front sway bar links and both lower ball joints.  
Rear lower ball joints 
Rear sway bar links
New front brake hoses, and lines to rear. 
Rear brake drums and shoes
New front and rear bumpers, new grill, front clip repainted 
Delco power antenna mast and motor 
Both front ABS wheel speed sensors, Delco
Delco power trunk pull down motor and switch 
Oil changes (semi-synthetic) every 6 months regardless of miles. 
Regular brake fluid flushes (should be done yearly on a car that isn't driven much)
Of course fuel filter and engine air filters replaced at correct factory recommended intervals 

Now for the problems
Paint on deck lid and roof is beginning to check as was common on GM cars of this era. 
CD player works sometimes, sometimes not.  CD player has already been rebuilt once, and all internal lamps for the buttons were replaced, using the correct color bulbs to match the other dash lights, it. worked for about a year and then began acting up. I refuse to install an aftermarket radio, as I've never seen one that actually looks nice.  Radio works perfectly AM and FM.   Also a common problem on these older Delco stereos, I've never had one that worked correctly / dependably.  Drivers seat is beginning to show it's age, slight cracking and some of the top layer of dye was peeled off drivers seat back side bolster (the side closest to the door) this does not show up really in the pictures, it's not bad, but I notice it.  Still, the leather on all seats is supple and soft.  Incredibly comfortable car.  Anyone who's owned or ridden in one of these knows- when you sink down into those big plush seats, you know you're in a Cadillac.  There is small area of rust at lower right hand corner of windshield that has been repaired twice and continues to come back. 

This car is a terrific highway cruiser, very smooth plush ride without feeling floaty / boaty.  
Can be expensive to operate being that it requires premium fuel, but power from this V8 is undeniable, it lends a very confident feeling behind the wheel.   A definite wolf in sheep's clothing.  The Vogue tires have about 12,000 miles on them, gold stripe on a couple of them has begun to fade.   The car has had a 4-wheel alignment yearly, whether it needs it or not.   So no uneven tread wear on the tires.   Drives smooth straight and quietly down the road.  In my opinion, this model is one of the best looking cars Cadillac has produced since the 1950's and 60's.  If you don't like attention from other motorists, you probably shouldn't bid on this car.   It turns heads everywhere, it's a very rare trip when I don't get at least one grin and a thumbs up.  This engine and transmission is a strong set up, these cars can go well over 200,000 miles if cared for.  My '93 Sedan deVille was still going strong at 270,00 when i totaled it.   Not sure what else to say in this description other than if you have any questions, please shoot me an email, I'm more than happy to answer questions or take specific pictures you may require.

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.

GM recalling 54k Cadillac SRX, HD pickup models

Thu, 01 May 2014

There are more recalls to report General Motors, but these latest actions pertain to newer examples of the Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD. With so much scrutiny on the company's recall strategy, GM is under increasing pressure to call in defective models more quickly, and it appears to be doing so here.
Here in the US, the automaker is recalling 50,571 Cadillac SRX crossovers from the 2013 model year fitted with the 3.6-liter V6 because the transmission control module programming can cause a three- or four-second lag in acceleration at low speeds. The explanation filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states, "if the following sequence occurs within two seconds: during an upshift from first to second gear (8-10 mph), the driver then brakes the vehicle to less than 5 mph, and then accelerates again," the delay can occur. According to Automotive News, the recall effects 56,400 vehicles worldwide, and the company is not aware of any crashes caused by the problem. The fix consists of a transmission control module (TCM) reflash.
In a separate recall, GM is repairing 51 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups from the 2015 model year in the US. In vehicles with diesel engines and dual fuel tanks, the nuts that connect the fuel pipe to each side of the transfer pump between the tanks may be improperly torqued, which could cause a fuel leak. Obviously, this could be a fire hazard. The remedy is simply tightening the hardware. According to GM spokesperson Alan Adler, there have been no fires actually caused by the potential leak. "Only 21 of the trucks are in customer possession and they can be fixed anytime because there are no parts involved. The others are being fixed at dealerships," Adler said in an email to Autoblog.

Cadillac SRX production moving to TN, next-gen Equinox going to Mexico

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

It's a good week for the town of Spring Hill, TN, as General Motors has announced that its factory in the city of 31,000 will receive a $185 million contract to produce engines. On top of that, the next-generation Cadillac SRX crossover will be built at the factory (NA models are presently built in Ramos, Arizpe Mexico), which was once famous for being the home of GM's now-defunct Saturn brand.
The factory is one of GM's six facilities around the globe that will screw together the company's new line of three- and four-cylinder Ecotec engines. Spring Hill currently builds the 2.0-liter, turbocharged Ecotec, as well as the naturally aspirated 2.4 and 2.5-liter variants.
Spring Hill's vehicle assembly lines were idled in 2009, but were reactivated in 2011. The SRX is just one of the products meant to benefit from last year's $350-million investment, and should have a positive impact, creating or retaining around 1,800 positions at the factory.
