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 ELR wears a suave suit with Volt underpants

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

The Cadillac design and engineering teams were smiling like a bunch of proud papas here in Detroit this morning, as the Wreath and Crest crew pulled the curtain back on their 2014 ELR. The house was packed for the ELR's coming out party, and reaction was enthusiastic amongst the murmuring media, as far as we could gather, while the flashes were firing.
In fact, we think that the sleek styling and aggressive proportions of the Voltec-powered ELR looked even better in the metal than they did in the first official images we saw earlier. Further, the leather-lined interior seems custom made for serious driving, even if the ELR is slightly less than rocket-ship quick.
The new Cadillac makes good use of the basic running gear from the Chevrolet Volt, including the 1.4-liter range-extending gas engine, a 15.6-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and an electric drive motor that offers 295 pound-feet of torque, and a total system output of 207 horsepower. All-electric range is down by just one mile versus its Chevrolet forebearer, for a total of 35, and Cadillac speculates that the total range with the gasoline generator figured in will top 300 miles.

The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada. It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.

Cadillac CT6 ushers in new naming convention

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

Johan de Nysschen has been at his new post as president of Cadillac for not even three months , but he's already seen two of his most notable accomplishments from his two-year tenure as president of Infiniti matched by Cadillac. The brand has announced that it is relocating its headquarters, and is now officially changing its nomenclature.
The brand's new flagship model will abandon the familiar three-letter designation enjoyed by every other model in the range (aside from the Escalade), and adopt an alpha-numeric title. So, rather than the expected title of LTS, Cadillac's top-end car will be called the CT6.
Of course, this won't be limited to just one model. According to Cadillac's press release, "familiar lettering like 'CT' would be used for car models, with the number indicating the relative size and position of the cars in the hierarchy of Cadillac models." And yes, that means what you think it means - Cadillac will use the exact same naming formula, albeit with different letters, as Infiniti.
