1958 Cadillac Sedan DeVille extended deck model. I am moving in July and need to sell it ASAP. Reasonable reserve and will remove to meet close bidders!

This 58 caddy is a multiple trophy/award winner at shows. True and original survivor car. Original paint in most parts (some respray may have been done but matching job must have been done expertly, so you can't really tell), original interior and carpet, original 365ci 310hp 8cyl engine - all in excellent shape for a retirement-aged car. Recently new carberator, drum brakes, battery. Brand new starter/solenoid. Solid straight car with great metal. Only 72,291 miles! Speedo works, trip meter works, wipers work, odometer works, horn works, headlights work, reverse lights work and blinkers work. Power windows work, though you should be cautious with the front driver's side and guide it down at first (sometimes it sticks up top). Power antenna and original AM radio both work. No trunk rot, no floor rot - a rust free car. I drive it every weekend in the nice weather, and it will start right up for you after months of not using. Always passes inspection with ease. This is a real gem - even the headliner is immaculate.

The negatives? Not many, and they're minor. Some parts of the paint job (one rear driver's side quarter panel and part of driver side roof) look like they have lost a bit of their shine, but very minimal and I think a detail job or a good thorough waxing will bring it up to par. Small ding in rear bumper chrome. A few spots in rear chrome are foggy. One or two very small trim pieces around rear headlights have some pitting in the chrome. Occasional lifter noise but an oil change to straight 30 and some marvel mystery oil or lucas oil stabilizer should do the trick. Occasional oil drip from the rear main seal - but I haven't had to add oil in the two years that I've had it. Power seat needs a new motor (electric is fine). One particular 9 amp fuse for interior lights occasionally blows out. Gas gauge is hit or miss - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (mostly it doesn't). Likely a problem with the in-tank float. Rear seat has some stitching undone between leather and fabric - not ripped, only lack of thread or sewing string. Last would be that it probably could use a new or refurbished neutral safety switch. Sometimes I need to jiggle the shifter up and down before turning the key, but that's rare.

It's an honest car, with nothing to hide. Frankly it is incredible; you will turn heads and grab the attention of everyone you pass. There aren't many others like it around. Big beautiful and elegant fins. I love it but I'm moving into Manhattan. I've owned the car for almost two years, but I have a neat and organized binder of all the receipts and service slips, motor manuals and cadillac shop books/literature from the two prior owners as well.

I typically show it on Saturday evenings at the Bob's / McDonalds in West Islip on Sunrise Hwy, and also Sunday mornings at the old OBI parking lot, if you happen to be local.

I will not be responsible for shipping, and payment will be by wire transfer into a dedicated account or by cash in hand. Thanks for your time, and good luck bidding! I hope it goes to a good home.

Cadillac ATS-V Coupe caught undisguised ahead of LA reveal

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Vsport versions of the CTS and XTS sedans are all well and good, but what Cadillac enthusiasts have really been looking forward to is the arrival of the next full-on V model. And here we have it.
Spied in the nude during an apparent photo shoot ahead of its anticipated debut at the fast-approaching Los Angeles Auto Show, the upcoming new Cadillac ATS-V Coupe is set to pick up where the old CTS-V left off, only in a more compact form. Unlike previous spy shots of heavily disguised prototypes, this final version is showing a chrome-framed mesh grille, along with a deep lower air dam with what looks to be a carbon-fiber front splitter. That bulging hood with heat extractor vents is tipped to be packing a twin-turbo V6 engine, breathing out of quad exhaust tips.
The aggressive aero kit also encompasses side skirts, a reshaped rear bumper and a lip spoiler on the truck, while the upgraded rolling stock wears serious low-profile rubber and the brakes appear to be carbon-ceramic units. Peer through the window and you can even see the sport bucket seats with slots for racing harnesses. All of which suggests a serious American challenger to the BMW M4 and its ilk, and we're looking forward to seeing the vehicle in the metal in LA next month.

GM considering new powertrain options for large SUVs

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

Aside from the new General Motors offerings, there's not a whole lot of action going on in the fullsize SUV segment. That doesn't seem to be stopping GM from pushing the envelope in the market as Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is looking to introduce some new powertrain options into the Chevy Tahoe (and Suburban), GMC Yukon (and Yukon XL) and the Cadillac Escalade - all have been redesigned for the 2015 model year.
Now, we already know that GM and Ford are collaborating on nine- and ten-speed transmissions for a broad range of applications (including the big SUVs), but this new report says that GM is also considering other options as a way to one-up the competition and, of course, to optimize fuel economy. AN quotes Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for GM trucks, as saying that "interesting powertrain technologies" are coming including a return of a hybrid SUV and possibly even a diesel engine. Although it sounds like the latter could come down to how customers respond to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.
