Up for Auction is a Custom built One Of A Kind Cadillac "PHAETON" Open Top Convertible Limousine.  This unique vehicle was built by Parade Coach Builders in Florida www.paradelimos.com.   This is the Phaeton model, meaning open rear compartment.  Each car they build is unique and custom.   

The Phaeton has chrome rails around the parade seat, and on the roof.  The base vehicle is a 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood stretched a total of 44 inches behind the front door and in front of the rear door.  Middle doors and a middle seat were added.  Parade Coach then removes the back half of the top in back of the middle doors to make the rear compartment half open and half closed.  AWESOME! fit for a  president. The Phaeton features custom quarter windows on both rear doors, shaved door handles on the middle doors which open with hidden pulls behind each front door and from inside door handles.

This is an awesome ride reminiscent of early 20th century open rear compartment Phaetons.  This is the perfect vehicle for weekend touring, site seeing, business promotions vineyard tours, city tours, historic tours, a real estate business and of course parades.   OR what i use it for just cruiding to car shows anddriving on weekends.  THIS IS A HEAD TURNER.   You will NEVER see another one pull up next to you and this one is in mint condition.

THIS VEHICLE HAS 21K miles on it!!!!   THAT IS RIGHT JUST 21 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES.  Mechanically for the gear heads, this Cadillac came from the factory with the formidable LT-1 Engine and matched automatic transmission which Cadillac borrowed from Chevrolet to give unbeleivable power to this rear wheel drive car.  This model is the last rear wheel drive model Cadillac built.  The engine is the same engine as the Corvette of this year.   Power is unreal for a large heavy car.  

Exterior is finished in Cadillac Black paint and the paint is flawless and brand new.  The vehicle has no dents or dings or scratches.  The chrome trim and bumpers are also perfect.  The black canvas top is brand new.  The manual folding roof is made out of matching black canvase.  All the chrome on the vehicle is showroom new.   The exterior features lighted flag stands on the front fenders.   The front headlights also have a wig wag feature as well.   This vehicle is equipped with a siren and PA System.   All badging is brand new chrome and it is fitted with "FLEETWOOD PHAETON" emblems on the rear sail panel.   There are a total of six doors that open but the middle doors have no door handles for a sleak and finished limousine look.

The front drivers compartment is finished in original medium blue velour and it is in very good shape with no rips or tears.  

The rear salon is brand new in all aspects.   The middle seat faces the rear.  On each side of the middle seat are two champagne buckets and two glass holders built in to the door panels as bars.  The rear seat is raised ten inches and has air conditioning vents under it that blows ice cold.  The rear salon is fitted with medium blue vinyl which is brand new on the middle seat, rear seat middle door champagne bars.  The rear interior and carpet is brand new with absolutely no wear anywhere.  Dark blue Carpet and mats inside the rear are brand new.  Parade seat in the rear is perfect matching medium blue and brand new.  All door panels are like new condition.  The interior and exterior shows absolutely no wear at all.   The front compartment is factory with the addition of flag stand light switch (never ever fly the American Flag at night without lighting it) and interior special light package switch.   Also is the PA System / Siren System and Microphone.  VERY NEAT feature.  Police tones and PA to address the crowd in parades.  There are two air conditioning systems in the vehicle with controls in the front for the factory air and the rear air conditioning system that has vents under the middle and rear seats for use to cool passengers during long parades.

This is open rear convertible totally open to the elements. SEE PICTURES, THE CAR COMES WITH A folding canvas top and clear plastic sides to cover the back totally if it gets caught in the rain.  It stores either on the back parade deck or in the trunk and I would compare it to a boat bimini that takes 3 minutes to snap on.

Seventies super-salesman challenges new car-sales record

Wed, Feb 21 2018

Some of the fondest memories from my youth were the Sunday afternoons spent walking between rows of new and used cars. This preceded the advent of widely available internet, so the cars didn't sell themselves online: A tentative buyer had to come see the cars in the metal, with old-school salesmen taking well-earned smoke breaks after putting someone behind the wheel of a new Saab 900. All-inclusive subscription services were unheard of. If you open a Guinness records book and look up car salesmen, you'll find Joe Girard. The definitely old-school Detroit salesman regularly sold over 1,000 new cars per year, with a particular high point of 1,425 cars in 1973 guaranteeing him a mention in the Guinness book. To reach that kind of sales figure, you had to be a pretty special salesman, and Girard was. He didn't take breaks unless absolutely necessary, and even his lunch hours were dedicated to selling more cars instead of shooting the breeze with other sales persons. By 1977 he was worn through, having sold over 13,000 cars in his career, and his physique couldn't take it anymore. He's been a motivational speaker since. Now, 44 years later, a Dearborn, Mich., Cadillac and Chevrolet salesman named Ali Reda has reportedly broken Girard's record. The books at Les Stanford Chevrolet Cadillac say Reda sold 1,530 new cars and 52 used cars in 2017, averaging 130 vehicles per month. But after Girard, 89, heard of the sales record, he called his attorney, not letting his record be broken without a fight — or at least an audit. The Dearborn dealer isn't too concerned about Girard's doubts, at least according to Gary Stanford, whose father founded the dealership. "It's very official, trust me," said Stanford to the Detroit Free Press. "Ali is the hardest worker I've ever seen. And if someone doesn't believe the data, well, they're more than welcome to consult with GM. It's all there in black and white." What Girard doesn't get is that Reda was honoring him with the accomplishment. "I read his book, 'How to Sell Anything to Anybody,' and it said it would teach you how to become the best," said Reda, who at age 44 was a newborn when Girard hit his peak. "He's an absolute legend in the industry. Your whole career, you're chasing his name.

Hertz and GM team up to put 175,000 rental EVs on the road

Tue, Sep 20 2022

Hertz and General Motors have announced a significant partnership that will send up to 175,000 electric vehicles into rental fleets across the country. The deal will unfold over the next five years and include vehicles from all GM brands.   The partnership will run through 2027. Hertz estimates that the electric fleet can save as many as 8 billion gasoline-powered miles, removing 1.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions from the air. Hertz says it will invest in becoming the largest renter of EVs in North America and notes that it already has tens of thousands available at 500 locations in 38 states. By the end of 2024, it plans to electrify a quarter of its fleet. Electric rental cars are a great way for travelers wanting to avoid gas, and they make excellent urban commuter cars. Hertz will also likely save a few dollars by avoiding oil changes and other routine maintenance that gas engines need. However, a hidden societal benefit of this deal may come when Hertz’s EV rental customers begin shopping for new cars. Many people are skeptical of EVs for various reasons, including range, charging, ease of operation, and cost. Giving people a low-risk introduction to EVs and the ability to test-drive one without a pressuring salesperson could drive more people to electrics. At the same time, there's also the risk that renters wanting to take their Hertz-GM EV on a road trip into sparsely populated areas may return with charging and range-related horror stories. Hertz currently doesnÂ’t ask what youÂ’re planning to do with your rental, but it does offer a chat service for questions, and range information is presented clearly on each vehicle.

Cadillac SRX production moving to TN, next-gen Equinox going to Mexico

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

It's a good week for the town of Spring Hill, TN, as General Motors has announced that its factory in the city of 31,000 will receive a $185 million contract to produce engines. On top of that, the next-generation Cadillac SRX crossover will be built at the factory (NA models are presently built in Ramos, Arizpe Mexico), which was once famous for being the home of GM's now-defunct Saturn brand.
The factory is one of GM's six facilities around the globe that will screw together the company's new line of three- and four-cylinder Ecotec engines. Spring Hill currently builds the 2.0-liter, turbocharged Ecotec, as well as the naturally aspirated 2.4 and 2.5-liter variants.
Spring Hill's vehicle assembly lines were idled in 2009, but were reactivated in 2011. The SRX is just one of the products meant to benefit from last year's $350-million investment, and should have a positive impact, creating or retaining around 1,800 positions at the factory.
