Glencoe, Illinois, United States

1964 Cadillac  series 62 convertible,

During my 6 years of ownership, a lot has been replaced and repaired, all with receipts.  Now everything works (windows, top, 6 way seats, wipers, interior and exterior lights, turn signals, signal seeking radio, antenna) except for the factory A/C and the W/Squirters, neither of which is hooked up.  There is NO heater.

Mechanically:  This is my car’s strongest point. In terms of the 4 S’s, it starts , shifts , steers and stops dependably . This car is literally my driver so safety and reliability were non-negotiable.  That’s where my $ went, that’s why I have confidence in my Cadillac.   Every summer, I take several road trips of almost  200 miles each, but my car never overheats , doesn’t burn oil  and is rock steady every time I hit 100 mph  (I cruise at 75/80 mph)

Cosmetically:  Although my car gets thumbs up and even stops traffic (everyone from kids to grandmas loves this Cadillac), it’s a driver with minor dings, faded spots, and scratches   The chrome needs attention and there is very slight bubbling in the driver’s lower door, but no one notices at 10/10.  Wet sanding had been “overlooked” following its last paint job. Thus the good news here is the potential to significantly improve the finish w/o the cost of a new paint job.   And, yes, it does pass the magnet test.

The owner’s manual and the shop manual come with it, as does my file, of course. 

What’s great here is this Cadillac is totally your call: a turn-key summer cruiser or an apt candidate for restoration.

GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.

SRX-replacing Cadillac XT5 spied for the very first time

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

Cadillac has got big plans in place to revitalize its lineup, with new sedans, coupes and crossovers. And it all starts with this, the replacement for the SRX.
Expected to be called XT5 in line with the brand's new naming scheme, the crossover will be based on a scalable new platform called C1XX - or Chi, for short. In its shorter form, Chi is anticipated to underpin the XT5 as well as a new Chevy crossover and the next-gen GMC Acadia. In long-wheelbase form, the platform is slated to give us a larger Cadillac crossover as well as a new Buick Enclave and Chevy Traverse.
Power in the XT5 will be provided by a choice of turbo four or atmospheric six, potentially to be transmitted through GM's new nine-speed automatic.
