Thank you for your consideration in viewing this beautiful 1947 Cadillac Fleetwood. 

This car is a reminder of a more special time in the US auto industry.  The Cadillac was one of the Quintessential cars of it's day.  It was owned by everyone from politicians to movie stars. To the American public Cadillac remained a symbol of prestige, success, luxury, and good taste.  

As you will see from the pictures, the car shows extremely well, but by no means is this a 100 point car.  I acquired the car in 2006 from my neighbor who had himself owned the car since 1991, in which he purchased the car from Reno, NV.  Since my ownership I had all the chrome replated. I also purchased 5 new triple plate chrome sombrero wheel covers and center medallions. The car has the correct Firestone Bias ply 700-15 and correct wide whites.  This is an all matching numbers car. 

Under the hood you will find an exceptionally clean 346 Flathead offers 150 hp. The car always starts right up and runs strong with no smoking issues.  The same engine that Cadillac believed in so much that it had a 12 year run from 1936-1948.  In addition, Cadillac helped in the war effort by supplying our military with this same engine in the M5 Stuart and the Sherman tank. I ran this car through this 4th of July parade and it ran perfect without any overheating issues in 90 degree temperature.  I also just recently took the car on a 300 mile round trip and it ran flawlessly.  Odometer shows 108,353.

The interior of the car is in excellent condition other than a slight faded spot in the upper drivers seat.  The head liner was replaced by the prior owner with the correct material. The oriental di-noc wood is amazing.  This Fleetwood has beautiful body lines and chrome appointments that the standard 4-door series 62 did not offer. From the fold down rear foot rest, extended rear seating quarters, chrome garnishes around inner windows, and outside the five upper quarter rear luvers.  All glass is in great condition with no separation, discoloration,  or cracks.  

There are just a few scratches in the paint that I did not touch up.  Trunk has some freckling in paint. There is also a chip in front head light ring, roof has 1 in. slight dent, (barely noticeable), top of steering wheel and brake handle has some cracking (also barely noticeable), radio only works sometimes, blinkers do not work, clock does not work, speed odometer is inaccurate by 10 mph, wipers do not work, all other gauges work fine, spot lights work, heater works, horn works, and interior light works. The under carriage is very clean and shows no rust (with the exception of the bottom of the spare tire wheel well).   

Last year I had front and back brakes completely redone including brake lines, master cylinder, and wheel cylinders.  2010 the carburetor, fuel pump, generator, starter, water pump were all rebuilt (even though some of those did not need to be rebuilt). Recently, front end had work done as well.   Door seal plates are in excellent condition. Trunk material has all been redone.  This car is an increasingly rare sight, so don't miss this opportunity to own this work of art.   

I am a private owner that is starting to thin down my collection and feel that I have described this car as honestly and accurately as possible. I will be happy to give you a full walk around the car and give you a more detailed description and/or answer any questions you may have. Will provide additional pictures if requested.  A $1,000 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction's close.  The winning bidder is required to contact Seller within 24 hours after the close of the auction to finalize the details of the transaction. 

 I also reserve the right to end the auction at any time.  This vehicle is sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. Buyer is responsible for pick up and/or all shipping fees. Please come and see the car for yourself or send your inspector. Bid with confidence. Feel free to call me with any questions or concerns.                            707-704-8223 Mike

2014 Cadillac CTS configurator open for business

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Cadillac has just set the new configurator for the redesigned, 2014 CTS live. While we've already tested out the new CTS, this is our first chance to play with all the interior and exterior color options and to get a fair idea of the price. The new CTS covers a broad swath from the $46,025 base model, with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, to the $59,995 VSport, complete with its brawny, 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6.
It doesn't take much to send the CTS's price up from there, though. Opt for the VSport Premium trim, and the price immediately jumps $10,000. Opting for one of the premium paint colors is all that's needed to nudge the CTS past $70,000. For reference, a 556-horsepower CTS-V (previous-generation, naturally) starts at $64,515.

Best 3rd Row SUVs of 2024

Wed, Oct 19 2022

If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here are our two top choices.  OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (the Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.   In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row Crossover |  Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUV |  Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.
