This classic Cadillac was for somebody who could not only afford Cadillac, but could spring for the best! This Big, long, low, sixty special is as good as it gets! Extra rear leg room and power vents and windows. Only those with a driver and limo had it better. This ride comes with original owner information books along with Protect-O-Plate.


Paint 

  • Car was painted some years ago. We do not have the year or information on the paint, but it does match all the way around.

  • Car has not been highly polished, so there is a small amount of orange peel in the paint. Over all it looks pretty presentable for a driver quality car.

  • Paint has a few pin head size nicks on the front, and some areas chipping around the windshield, and below the rear window.

  • If you look closely car has imperfections in the paint. Repaint appears more of an amateur look.

  • If you look closely at the pictures you will see a few chips on the edge of the doors that have been touched up.

  • The red metal flake color, with the blue pin strips, was added not to long ago. That work is very shiny, and free of flaws.


 Body

  • The top surfaces of the hood, roof, and deck lid are all very straight and correct. There is a light dimple that is hardly noticeable on the trunk lid.

  • Sides of the car have had repair work at some time, and it is certainly less then perfectly straight. It seems only on close inspection is it most noticeable.

  • If you look up close at an angle,(see pictures) you will be able to detect less than perfectly straight areas on the side of the car.

  • Left side has three to four small dimples, just above the back of the fender skirt, as well as one little dimple on the skirt itself. The right top side of the fender has a light dimple.

  • Some light dimples on the drivers door, that can only be seen at an angle and some light nicks along the bottom of the doors.

  • There is some light surface rust on the inside edges of the trunk and hood.

 

Magnets

 

  • Upon making random readings on different parts of the panels, we did not find any areas where there is clearly an absence of steel or metal.

  • Upon inspection I found there was a possible light impact on the right rear corner, and a little more filler is evident that can not be picked up on photos.


Bright work

  • The stainless and chrome surrounding the window areas all appears to be fastened well, and very nice and straight. Without noticeable dents or damage.

  • The stainless shines beautifully. The only noticeable wear would be the finish edge around the rear vent windows, and the pieces just below them have some light pitting in the chrome.

  • The door handles show very little wear, with just a slight amount of pitting on all four of them. (see pictures)

  • The rear bumper has no apparent damage, but some light pitting. Mostly on the two end pieces, and the insert on either side of the license plate.

  • The front bumper has very similar wear as the rear, even thought they are very shiny. Front bumper does have dents on the bottom of the right, and left side of the end pieces.

Glass

  • All of the glass, with the exception of the windshield, is marked “soft ray safely plate” with the LOF emblem on them.

  • All of the glass is nice and clear with no delamination, cracks, or bulls eyes.

  • Windshield shows very little wear, and no windshield wiper abrasion.

Interior

  • Interior looks as thought most everything is, or could be original. (With the exception of the floor mats and the stereo that was installed below the ashtray,) (Glove box was removed).

  • Interior has survived very well over the years. The carpet has some wear, but has held up well. (can be inspected in the pictures)

  • Chrome and finish on the dash has held up extremely well, and shows very little wear. The only exception is that above the radio there is a small cracked section.

  • Visors are solid, and the inside backing in not broken down.

  • Headliner is all intact, and we do not see any seams or areas where it is coming lose.

  • Door panels appear to be as they where constructed, and there is a little fading on the carpet (lower sections).

  • Interior looks as thought it is much the way they where originally built.

  • Notice in the back seat (by the bottoms on the right rear) a spot has been pulled apart and repaired.

  • On the front seat you see more wear and fading. Drivers side has some wear

and fading mostly the lower section. There is also a scuff, and a worn area on the passengers side edge.(where you enter and exit car)

  • Driver side you will also see a spot with some repair, up by the corner, as well as some wear on the beading. Rings need to be pulled to bring material around the edge. (simple repair but needs to be completed)

  • Steering wheel does have some cracking at the three contact points. (fairly minor with small cracks)


Trunk

  • Trunk has spare tire with a circular disc cover, as they typically had.

  • Car has jack and lug wrench.

  • Matting is glued down, however you can see from the bottom side of the car how dry, original, and rust free the car is.

  • Notice on the bottom side of the deck trunk lid, some of the original information is still there\\

Tire and Wheels

  • Tires look fairly recent with out noticeable cracking. All four hubcaps are in remarkable shape with minimum wear

Kumbo Solus KR21

Left front- 235-75-15              Right front- 235-75-15

Left rear- 235-75-15                Right rear- 235-75-15

All four tires have 9-10/32 tread remaining.

  

Engine and Transmission

  • Under the hood looks much as it was designed, and built without any major modification (With the exception of a replacement battery).

  • Air conditioning system has been converted over to new style refrigerant.

  • Upon driving, the car runs very nice and smooth, it accelerates and decelerates properly.

  • Transmission seems to be shifting correctly up and down.

  • Engine over all seems to preform well.

  • There is a little bit of an exhaust leak you can hear, but after the car warms up it is hardly noticeable.

  • When you turn your automatic dimers off, your manual high and low beam does work.

  • As in most of these cars it is very common for the automatic level control to be unhooked, and replaced with regular air shocks. They typically stop working fairly early in the cars life, and are not that reliable

Chassis

  • Upon putting the car on a rack, the frame, and floor pan look to have no rust perforation. (see photos)

  • Over all the car chassis looks like it is left as it was designed and built

  • Fairly new brake lines running across the rear axle, and front brake hoses are fairly new as well

  • The exhaust looks solid with the exception that the muffler has been scrapped, and there is a small hole in the back side of it.

  • There is oil dampness on the bottom of the steering gear.

  • Rear end has a minimal amount of fluid on the bottom.

  • Oil leakage on the engine, and transmission area is a bit more than you would typically see. However driving the car may help, or a replaced transmission gasket would help much.

  • Front springs have a help spacer on the right side, you can see new stabilizer links on either side as well.

List of mechanical parts tested

  • Headlights work on both high beam and low beam

  • Front and rear turn signals work on left and right side

  • Indicators on the top of the fenders (for turn signals) are working

  • Brake lights working

  • Back up lights working

  • License plate lights are working

  • Windshield wipers work on all three speeds but washers not working

  • Tilt and telescope wheel works correctly.

  • Horn works correctly

  • Driver adjustable outside mirror is working

  • Four large side windows(that are power) do go up and down, however the vents are not working %100 as they should. (two work intermittently)

  • Standard radio and power antenna appear to be unhooked and may not operate

  • Compressor seems to click on and run for the air conditioning system but the air seems to be coming out of the top at all times. (not directed as it should be)

  • Power locks work

  • Power seat works

  • Power trunk release button works (power pull down not functioning)

  • Modern AM/FM radio with single disc player works

  • Auto dimmer seems to work

  • Title shows mileage unknown

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.

2016 Cadillac CT6 to get an aluminum body?

Sat, Dec 27 2014

Well this is interesting: A hot-off-the-press report in Automobile claims the coming Cadillac CT6 will have an aluminum body. Most write-ups on the CT6 claim it will have a body that's a combination of aluminum and high-strength steel - Automobile itself wrote of "high-strength steel, aluminum, and steel stampings" in October. An all-aluminum body would be quite the reversal, contradicting the last four months of reportage and company statements on the matter. Mark Reuss, EVP of global development at General Motors, told The Detroit News in October, "We will create with the CT6, the world's most advanced body structure... [and] it's not aluminum. It's a stronger, smarter, safer premium luxury vehicle." It echoed the earlier Automobile story in saying the CT6 would use GM's "patented welding technology with high-strength steel, aluminum and steel stampings and castings." That same month, the Wall Street Journal ran a piece titled, "GM Won't Follow Aluminum Strategy in Future Cars," in which Reuss said, "making big statements around all carbon fiber, all aluminum, all magnesium, they're very interesting," and that GM wouldn't be doing it. That piece also circled back to a material mix and GM's special welding process, saying the CT6 "will have a body made of aluminum, high-strength steel and other materials, and will be 100 kilograms (220 pounds) lighter than a similar-sized car made of high-strength steel." We don't know what kind of body Cadillac's new assault on luxury is going to wear, but now we can't wait to find out.

GM recalls Cadillac ATS and Chevy Impala for separate issues

Fri, Feb 27 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration added two recalls from General Motors in the government organization's daily update of safety campaigns. Both were for failing to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards but for completely separate reasons. The larger recall covers 58,698 units of the 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS, but it doesn't really carry huge safety concerns. In vehicles produced between April 25, 2012, and February 9, 2015, the controls for the tilt and slide of the moonroof are not recessed enough, as required by federal law. According to NHTSA, it's possible that someone could inadvertently activate the auto-close for the roof panel, which the agency claims increases "the risk of personal injury." Dealers will install a new trim plate that will add the necessary clearance. The other campaign covers 1,177 examples of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala from between November 15, 2012, and May 27, 2014. However, this is actually a repeat of a previous recall on the Chevy and the Cadillac XTS from 2014. The affected Impalas here "were remedied incorrectly" under the earlier campaign, according to NHTSA. On these sedans, it's possible the electronic parking brake might not fully disengage and still remain in some contact with the rotor, which is in violation of federal rules. The fault can cause excessive heat from the brakes that could potentially lead to a fire, according to NHTSA. To fix the problem, dealers will reprogram the electronic parking brake control module. Show full PR text RECALL Subject : Inadvertent Press of Roof Panel Switch/FMVSS 118 Report Receipt Date: FEB 24, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V106000 Component(s): VISIBILITY Potential Number of Units Affected: 58,698 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) CADILLAC ATS 2013-2015 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS vehicles manufactured April 25, 2012, to February 9, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the power-operated roof panels auto-close when the non-recessed "Slide" or "Tilt" switches are pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No.
