I bought this car as a birthday present for myself for my 40th birthday, and it's been a lot of fun to own and drive. Cadillac made only 3,300 of these cars in conjunction with ASC, a convertible top manufacturer, and only a fraction of those cars survive today. The shape of these cars is gorgeous, they age well, and according to Wikipedia: “the convertible models are now highly sought after by numerous collectors.” This model was very expensive when first offered, about triple the cost of a new Fleetwood! It became an iconic car; I first saw it in the movie Pretty In Pink and decided I must have one! I bought the car partly because the value holds over time unlike many other classics. I put the car in storage in 2008 after buying a Rolls Royce. The year before I put it in storage, I installed a new convertible top (cost $3,000) and painted it. The body is straight, and most systems work fine. It is a California car with no rust. It has many options like leather interior, leather wheel, power driver seat, digital displays, CD changer in trunk. The leather is good because I treat it regularly with a leather conditioner, and I replaced the front seat bottom panels with durable exterior vinyl. The engine is strong: on a compression test done on 8/21/2013 the psi values were as follows: Cylinder 1: 110 psi. 2: 130. 3: 120. 4: 130. 5: 130. 6: 100. 7: 110. 8: 110. It recently passed California’s rigorous smog test. I have the original tonneau cover (shown in photos) and a custom storage bag. Also a custom car cover for the rare occasions it's out of the garage. The car has some minor mechanical issues, as follows: The climate control unit is bad (I have a used replacement, plus a trunk full of miscellaneous parts). The odometer stopped working in 2007. It shows 92,000 but the true mileage is about 5,000 more. One of the back windows rolls up slowly, and the torque converter rattles for a few seconds when the car is first started up. I’ve really enjoyed the car but with 6 other cars to care for I just can’t do justice to this beautiful machine any more, and I need the garage space. My custom plate does not come with the car.

NHTSA approves hybrid rearview mirror display in Cadillac CT6, Bolt EV

Tue, Feb 23 2016

The Chevy Bolt EV prototype doesn't just have a fancy new all-electric powertrain. Just outside the driver's line of sight is a newfangled rearview mirror, one that can turn into a screen that shows a moving image from the rear-facing camera. Speaking to NPR's Robert Siegel yesterday, Department of Transportation secretary Anthony Foxx said that NHTSA has now approved this type of mirror/screen for use in vehicles. According to a letter from NHTSA to General Motors, GM will likely use this Full Display Mirror first in the 2016 Cadillac CT6 before coming to the Bolt. In its letter to GM, NHTSA said that the Full Display Mirror will only qualify as a standard rearview mirror as long as there are normal side mirrors in place. In other words, don't expect to see cameras and screens replacing all the mirrors in a motor vehicle just yet. @AutoblogGreen @NPR - #NHTSA has OK'd GM rear-view system that can switch between mirror & camera views. pic.twitter.com/6CBeIit10v — Anthony Foxx (@SecretaryFoxx) February 22, 2016 The Full Display Mirror was developed by Gentex, which has long worked with GM. The FDM debuted in 2014 and some people hoped it would also make its way into the Tesla Model X. Gentex, which also makes auto-dimming mirrors, says that it has "set out to develop the technologies and core competencies necessary to manage this evolution of the rearview mirror." The Chevy Bolt EV will start at $37,500, before incentives. The 200-mile EV will go into production late this year for likely sale in early 2017. Related Video:

Hotter Cadillac CT5-V prototype spotted with a manual transmission

Tue, Mar 10 2020

Fans of the old Cadillac CTS-V (and high-performance sedans in general) may have something to be excited about. A series of interior photos leaked Tuesday reveal that prototypes of the forthcoming higher-output variant of the CT5-V Sedan have been equipped with a manual gearbox. Exclusive: Photos show the wilder Cadillac CT5-V will have a manual transmissionhttps://t.co/Ta8hZ804eg — The Drive (@thedrive) March 10, 2020 Photos obtained by our friends at The Drive show a partially camouflaged CT5-V prototype with a full interior and what appears to be a manual gear selector. While the shifter and its boot are partially obscured by a plastic covering, it's obvious that the knob is not the same one paired with Cadillac's automatic gearboxes, such as the one featured in our expertly augmented photo above.Â This is not the first time the potential for a stick-shift option in the new, higher-end "V" cars has been floated. Rumors suggesting that the as-yet-unnamed higher-output CT4-V and CT5-V models might be so-equipped (at least optionally) circulated late in 2019. This, in addition to significantly higher power outputs and revised suspensions will set them apart dramatically from the base CT4-V and CT5-V, which are intended to compete with the likes of the Audi "S" line of vehicles.Â CT4-V spied View 40 Photos GM has been quite cagey when it comes to details about these new models. We know they'll follow in the footsteps of previous-generation "V" cars, which were aimed squarely at Europe's powerhouse sport sedans. The hotter CT5 variant is expected to employ the automaker's 6.2-liter supercharged V8, which made 640 horsepower in the now-dead CTS-V.Â We reached out to Cadillac for comment and were told by a spokesperson, "The ultra-performance variants of our Cadillac CT5-V and CT4-Vs are still under development. Â We will have more details to share in the next few weeks and the CT5-V and CT4-V ultra-performance versions will debut later this year. Until then, I can only confirm that these cars will build on V-SeriesÂ’ respected legacy." Hopefully, GM won't make us wait too much longer for official details of these new high-performance models, including what we should expect in terms of powertrain availability and launch timing. Stay tuned. Related Video:

CES 2022 was huge for EVs | Autoblog Podcast #711

Fri, Jan 7 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. CES took place this week, and there were some nice electric surprises from automakers, especially General Motors. John has been driving the Ram 1500 Power Wagon, as well as what seems to be its polar opposite, the electric Mini Cooper SE. Greg talks about the differences between the Acura TLX A-Spec long-termer (which is back in the shop) and the Type S loaner that's filling in for it. John's also got some interesting thoughts on leather interiors. Finally, the editors reach into the mailbag and help a repeat customer decide on a suitable replacement for a 2008 Lexus GX 470 in this week's Spend My Money segment.
