Maroon Convertible on 2040-cars
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. Contact Jay Edelston

Gimp Pimp and Aqua Volvo at 24 Hours of LeMons | Car Club USA
Tue, Mar 22 2016Car Club USA heads to Sonoma, CA where the Gimp Pimp Cadillac and Aqua Volvo will take on all the crazy, sub-$500 competition at the 24 Hours of LeMons endurance race. "Over the last 30 years, car racing has gotten extremely serious and extremely expensive and it just seemed like there was a real need to make it accessible again," said LeMons founder Jay Lamm. The result is a series of endurance races across the US and Australia where all you need to join the fun is a junky car and some basic safety equipment. "It's just fun, compared to pro racing," said Wendy Epstein, driver of a 1979 Volvo 242 in bright "Aqua Volvo" livery. "24 Hours of LeMons is a form of racing that is designed to be cheap and easy, and anybody can do it," said Bill Manfroy, driver of the Gimp Pimp, a 1996 Cadillac SLS with some important modifications. "Part of what makes the Gimp Pimp Cadillac so special is that it does have hand controls, so it gives access to people like me that ordinarily get to race." "Which makes it perfect for LeMons." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment
Thu, 20 Mar 2014One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.
