1952 Cadillac Fleetwood Rust Free From Califorina on 2040-cars

Year:1952 Mileage:98209
Location:

Canadensis, Pennsylvania, United States

Canadensis, Pennsylvania, United States

 This Fleetwood was brought to the East Coast in 1989 and has been garage kept. The Cadillac has been re-painted many years ago in a darker shade of green than the original and should be painted again as the paint that is on there now will not hold a shine. The original color can be seen in the pictures under the hood and trunk lid. They did change to the darker green in the door jambs.

The body, floor boards and frame are solid except for some surface rust. There are no holes anywhere. It appears to be complete with no parts missing and all the trim is in good shape with only the 2 vertical moldings on the rear doors having some dings and a few minor dents. The chrome is ok except for the grille which you can see from the pictures has the plating wore off but is very solid.

The interior has had seat covers installed and I have no idea what is under them. The door panels and carpet need to be replaced but are serviceable as they are. The trunk lining should be replaced also. All glass is good and all gauges work. I have not tried the radio but did try the vacuum antenna and it tries to go up on it's own but will not come down without some help. The windows work from the master switch but the left rear does not operate from the switch on the door itself. I'm sure all the contacts need cleaning.

 Tires are 2 years old and show no signs of dry rot or cracking. It has a good brake pedal and stops reasonably well for a car of this size. The transmission shifts good and the fluid has good color. The oil and filter have just been changed and a tune-up done, new plugs, points, cap and wires. The valve cover gaskets were replaced and everything looked good when we removed them, clean and no build up of gunk. The odometer shows 98,209 which I believe are the original miles although I have no way to verify that. 

I welcome you or your representative to come and inspect the vehicle before purchase. Any questions please give me a call as I have tried to explain all I know about the car. I can be reached at  570-460-8395 EST or email thru eBay. Vehicle is sold as-is with no warranty expressed or implied. Payment must be made in full before vehicle leaves my property and title released. I will accept a bank wire transfer, personal check or cash in person. All funds must clear before vehicle is released. I would like the vehicle removed within 30 days close of auction.

The 2014 North American International Auto Show is right around the corner, which means it's high time we found out which cars and trucks would be finalists for the prestigious North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards.
The finalists - three in cars and three in three trucks/utilities - are dominated by American brands, with two-thirds of the finalists hailing from either General Motors or Chrysler (don't worry Ford, there's always next year), while outliers from Mazda and Acura can be found in each contest. Here now is the list of finalists for the big prizes:

Cadillac to move select offices from Detroit to Manhattan?

Fri, 22 Aug 2014

Under Johan de Nysschen, Infiniti moved its headquarters from Yokohama, Japan, to Hong Kong. Now at Cadillac, it appears the company's new president could be planning a relocation of at least some of the brand's operations from Detroit to Manhattan, according to a new report from Reuters.
In the case of Infiniti, de Nysschen pushed for the move because moving away from the brand's Nissan overlords would allow it a bit more freedom. It's evidently a similar case for Cadillac, with Reuters speculating that such a move would help distance the brand from the corporate culture in Detroit. A Big Apple move could also attract new talent that may have considered a job with the brand but were put off by the idea of living in Detroit.
It's important to note that if such a move takes place, it likely won't affect the folks actually responsible for developing the brand's vehicles. Instead, administrative functions, including marketing, could be the focus of the relocation.

Cadillac's Euro reboot may have implications for US models, sales

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Firmly on the comeback trail in the US, Cadillac is still trying to get out of the starting blocks in Europe. At the Geneva Motor Show in March, Cadillac' senior execs revealed plans to grow the brand's presence in a luxury market dominated by the big three German marques, Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
GM President Dan Ammann says he sees "enormous" potential for Cadillac globally.
Over the past 20 years, the General Motors premium nameplate has tried and failed multiple times to break into the European market. This time around, Cadillac recognizes that progress will be modest at best, and depends on specific changes to models, some of which may impact the brand's US lineup. Planned new sales tactics in Europe may also impact the way Cadillac does business on this side of the pond.
