Another GEM from this large Cadillac collection.  Selling this 1972 Cadillac Fleetwood, 60 Special Brougham.  It is finished in blue with a black vinyl top.  The Cadillac has been stored in the garage and has not seen daylight in over 20 plus years.  The interior is in good condition.  The front driver's side bottom cushion does have some wear in the fabric(see video and photos).  The rear seats look like they have never been sat in.  The foot rest are still attached.  The seatbelts clean and intact.  It fires right up and drives good.  I personally would change all the fluids and bleed the brakes as they are a bit spongy.  Most likely from sitting all these years.  The chrome is good and the tires have good tread.  The dash is not cracked, the original radio is still in the dash.  The trunk is clean and the factory jack instructions are still attached.  The spare tire cover is still present too.  Cadillac's were the vehicle of choice of the rich and famous.  This 1972 was purchased new in Northern California in 1973 and remained here it's entire life, cozy in it's custom fit garage.  This Fleetwood was the garage mate of the 1972 Limo that I recently sold on ebay. Many more miles are to be driven in this Fleetwood so bid it to win it.  Selling for NO RESERVE.  Final bid gets to take her home. With all my auctions, a few requirements.  First, NO PAYPAL.  Second, any and all bidders with less than 10 feedback, and/or negative feedback need to contact me prior to bidding with their full name and contact number or their bid will be cancelled and their user id blocked from additional bidding.  Third, you are bidding to own, not look and make excuses.  Any and all inspections welcome during the auction period, not after.  Once the auction is completed, you are the new owner. Also, selling in AS-IS, Where-Is condition with NO WARRANTIES, expressed or implied.  Seller has represented vehicle to the best of his knowledge and makes no representations as to the condition of vehicle that are not known to him.  Vehicle is also advertised locally and seller reserves right to end the auction early and cancel all bids if sold outside of ebay.  Any and all interested buyers can email for a buy it now price if they cannot wait until the end of the auction.  So, with a great big, Caddy for your Daddy" yell, let the auction begin.

Cadillac abandons plans for six-digit flagship sedan

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

So much for that party. Cadillac has announced that it is walking away from plans to build a high-dollar, rear-wheel-drive ultraluxury sedan. The low-volume model would have been based on the lusty Ciel Concept, and the production iteration would have carried a price tag well over $100,000. Executives with the automaker reportedly claim the model wouldn't have bolstered the brand enough to be worth the investment.
Even so, Automotive News reports Cadillac is still on track to build a range-topping four-door to go head-to-head with the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. That model will likely be constructed on the company's upcoming Omega rear-wheel-drive platform, but we won't see it bow until at least 2016. Right now, the front-wheel-drive XTS sits at the top of the Cadillac lineup, and while that machine and it's twin-turbocharged V6 variant makes a compelling argument against certain luxury entries, it falls short serving as a legitimate competitor for the likes of the 7 Series and S-Class for enthusiast drivers.

Cadillac logo losing its wreath?

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

The easily recognizable Cadillac logo dates back to the company's founding in the early 1900s, but over the last 110 years, there has been an on-again, off-again love affair with the wreath surrounding the crest. Cadillac's current badge design has used the wreath since the 1980s, but Automotive News is reporting that GM's luxury division is planning to ditch the laurel wreath for a cleaner-looking logo.
The new logo could make its debut as early as next month on a new concept car that will be revealed at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, although the report also says that it might be until 2015 before it makes its way to a production car. Even then, it doesn't like anything has been finalized yet, as the article also says that plans could still change.
As Cadillac looks to improve its global presence as a luxury automaker, the report says that a simpler logo could make it easier for designers to incorporate the badge onto the car - either in the grille or above the grille (possibly in a fashion similar to Mercedes-Benz). Head on over to the AN article, which shows the Cadillac logo dating back to its earliest design.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
