No car demands attention like the beautiful 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. In stunning glass-black paint with new black and white interior, the most desired color combination, this car is a true classic.

A recent frame on restoration has just been completed including:

Paint -- The car was stripped to the bare metal and primed with Dupont 6155 Variprime self-etch primer. It was then coated with three coats of 33430 Dupont high build primer, sealed with 42470 Dupont sealer and then painted with Dupont Chrmopremiere black base coat. It was clear coated with three coats of Dupont 72500. I then sanded and buffed to a glass finish. This paint job is very high end with laser straight body work.

Interior -- All new black molded carpet. The seats were covered in original "black-silver" fabric from S&S Fabrics. All new foam and burlap installed into the seats. This black and white interior looks and feels classy.

Glass -- The glass is all original and in excellent condition. All of the power windows work excellently.

Weather Strip -- All weather strips are new from Soft Seal. This includes the ones in the trunk, doors and roof rails.

Engine Compartment -- The engine compartment is nicely detailed and original. The original 390 engine runs great and has a new water pump. All of the engine fluids have been changed.

Trunk -- This has the original float mat, cardboard siding, spare tire, and jack assembly. The trunk floor is covered with 3m black, sound-deadening pads.

Exhaust -- The exhaust is all new with aluminized pipe running through X frame.

Stainless Steel Molding -- all have been removed from the car and polished to excellent condition. New molding clips were used to attach them back on to the car.

Frame -- This is solid and in fantastic condition.

Chrome Bumpers -- These are all original and in driver condition. They shine nicely but have some minor aging to them. Chrome door handles and mirrors are brand new.

Fender Skirts -- These have new rubber moldings and have been repainted as well, although they were not on the car at the time of the pictures. They fit nicely and add to the overall classiness of the car.

AM Radio -- This does work well, but the power antenna does not work.

Tires -- These are all new 15 inch radial.

Lights -- All work inside and out, including the turn signals.

This 1959 Cadillac is a true collector's car and a great investment. For further questions, please contact me at (937) 605-1816 between 9:00am-9:00pm ET.

Full payment of cash or wire transfer is necessary before the car is given. No scams, please, I do not have time! Only serious buyers, no tire kickers and no traders. You are welcome to inspect the vehicle in person by appointment only. The car is located in Springfield, Ohio and will be sold only as is/where is. The buyer is responsible for the pick-up.

This is a very rare opportunity to get a car of this quality. Thank you for your interest.

GM cars and SUVs recalled for leaking transmission fluid

Thu, Nov 5 2020

General Motors is recalling more than 194,000 vehicles from 2018 to 2020 due to transmission fluid leaks. The leaks stem from an auto stop-start component that may have been installed with loose or missing bolts. The leaking fluid can affect the transmission's performance, and if it leaks onto a hot exhaust component, could potentially cause a fire. GM says that to date, it knows of no accidents or injuries related to the defect. The issue affects models from all four GM divisions. From Chevrolet, the affected vehicles are: 2018 Malibu, 2018–2019 Cruze, 2018Â–2020 Equinox, 2018Â–2020 Traverse, 2019Â–2020 Blazer At Buick, the following models are included: 2018Â–2019 LaCrosse, 2019Â–2020 Encore, 2019Â–2020 Enclave, At GMC, the recall includes: 2018Â–2020 Terrain, 2019Â–2020 Acadia Cadillac has two affected vehicles: 2019Â–2020 XT4 and 2020 XT6 The recall is scheduled to begin in mid-December. Owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted. Dealers will inspect the transmission accumulator, and replace those with loose or missing bolts.

Cadillac's Super Cruise — look, Elon, no hands!

Fri, Aug 4 2017

Cadillac is about to start selling vehicles with an autonomous driving mode and TechCrunch got an early look at the technology in a production car. "Wait for the green light and let go," the Cadillac engineer instructed. That's it. The car was driving itself. I, the person behind the steering wheel, was no longer the driver. Cadillac's Super Cruise system was driving. The 2018 Cadillac CT6 sped along U.S. 23 under the direction of Super Cruise. Traffic was light and the weather was perfect. The system held the Cadillac sedan in lane and responded appropriately to traffic. I spent an hour on the expressway and touched the steering wheel and pedals only a few times. Super Cruise made the drive boring. I think that's the point. Here's how it works Super Cruise is available once the driver navigates the vehicle onto an expressway. When ready, a little icon is displayed by the speedometer and the driver hits a button on the steering wheel to switch it on. Once the light bar on top of the steering wheel turns green, the driver can let go. Super Cruise is driving.This steering wheel light bar is key to the operation. When green, the driver knows Super Cruise is in control. Blue means the driver interrupted the system to change lanes and red means Super Cruise needs the driver to confirm they're paying attention and not checking Twitter. When active, Super Cruise controls the steering and speed, but again, only on an expressway. This is done through onboard sensors and using GPS and mapping data. GM employed GeoDigital, a startup in GM Venture's portfolio, to map 160,000 miles of expressways in the U.S. and Canada. The car company then used Super Cruise-equipped vehicles to test each mile. This combination of onboard systems combined with map data makes the system feel polished and sophisticated. During my admittedly limited time in the vehicle, the CT6 precisely held its position in the lane and confidently handled sweeping curves at speed. There was no wiggling or squirming — from the Cadillac or myself. The car was in control, and I felt safe. Although the driving conditions were perfect for my test ride, during adverse weather, the system will work normally until one of the key systems is unable to operate.

Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.
