Know-How Ultimate Town Car The 1969 Deville took many styling cues from the successful and critically acclaimed El Dorado from 1967. This vehicle is loaded with V-Shapes, angles and lens work that were dropped just one year later – what a shame. The hood and trunk come together in a “V” shape. Views from above demonstrate “V’s” at the end of the front and rear fenders. The rear tail light lenses and bezels are a study in industrial design and again abound with the shape that puts the V in Deville. The Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac family crest is proudly on display all over this vehicle. The trunk lock cover snaps open with the weight and quality of all trim work on this car – heavy and purposeful. The Cadillac logo is also the center piece of the wheel covers that suit this car so well -- another industrial design achievement of the brand that ruled the road with so much authority at the time. Fins & Flair (Link to more photos) The front turn signal bezels hold lenses with vertical bevels etched into them. Each one is a stand-out piece of rolling art. Together, they almost give a chandelier effect. The same is true for the rear tail lights. The front head lights were integrated into the grill for 1969 which allowed for the very rare and highly stylized turn signals. In 1970 these lenses were gone for good. The rear tail lights became integrated into a single chrome fender cap – a form they held for many years. Visit the following link for many more photos -
https://www.flickr.com/photos/105315473@N02/ Float Like a Butterfly Cadillac engineers of the time must have had a goal relating to fingertip control of an immense mass of rolling metal. That’s just what this car begs of the driver. The arm rest on each side is comfortable and the overall feel and nature of the driver’s cabin encourages reaching highway speeds and keeping this beauty rolling with just a couple of fingertips on the wheel. Maybe the typical distractions of the time required occupied hands? This may just be the longest hood on a production car of all time. It was lengthened 8.5" in 1968 to accommodate the space-age recessed "hidden" wipers. They extended it 2.5" in 1969 just for good measure. Similarly, the waist line of the Deville was “raised” for 1968. This was to provide the rear passengers more “privacy”. A quaint sentiment to say the least, but another industrial design cue indicative of a time long past and one we will likely never see again. What exactly was going on in those back seats anyways? Ah, the stories they must hold! Restored for Parading About This vehicle underwent a full restoration in the mid 1990’s. The owner of the car had a passion for Cadillac’s and restored one white one and one black one for each of his sons. They stayed in his possession for quite some time and were only used in parades in his small home town. He feels this one has less that 1,000 miles sense the restoration. The intended recipient of the black one simply never came along proper storage for the vehicle. The father is now quite advanced in age and needed to let it go. It was restored to very presentable driver condition. The paint has held up well, but is not of concours quality – was not meant to be. The interior shows some wear, but again has held up nicely. The passenger side rear inside door panel has a few cracks. Of all interior work, this is probably the most pressing should you decide to take it up a notch. The white vinyl top has also held up well. There are a couple of small imperfections near the rear window on the passenger side (see photo). The owner during restoration decided to pull the motors for the power top. It wasn’t going to be used often enough to need it. So, the power top is not functioning. He said the wiring is all there so, it should be as easy as sourcing a motor to get it running again. He also did not bother to fill the air conditioner with Freon. The compressor sets right on top of the engine and seems to spin and work just fine. There is a brand new exhaust system including muffler. She purrs like a kitten – albeit a very large
kitten! Pretty important function for
such a stately car. BTW, mileage is what it read on odometer. The previous owner could not verify even back in the 90's when he restored it. Bidding, Q&A As for the reserve price – I intend to keep it under wraps out of respect for the bidding process. It is set well below where the bids are likely to reach. Simply bid the amount you feel comfortable spending and treat the bidding process with the same respect. Please do not hesitate to call or text me if you have any questions or would like to arrange to see the vehicle. My cell is (816) 786-7534. This is a whole lot of car! It kind of feels like an open air magic carpet ride. I hope she gets to see a few more scenic jaunts. |

Cadillac Super Cruise wins the 2019 Autoblog Technology of the Year Award
Fri, Jan 11 2019Autoblog's 2019 Technology of the Year winner is Cadillac's Super Cruise. The SAE Level 2 semi-autonomous system allows for hands-free highway driving, reducing driver fatigue and improving safety. Additionally, Super Cruise packs in safeguards that force a driver to stay alert, bringing in a level of accountability not found in other Level 2 systems. Cadillac beat out Infiniti's VC Turbo technology and the EQ Boost 48-volt system from Mercedes-Benz, the other two finalists. General Motors mapped more than 130,000 miles of highways across the country, so Super Cruise always knows where you are. A camera on the steering column keeps an eye on the driver to make sure they're watching the road. Stray your gaze too long and the system forces you to take back over. Super Cruise has its limitations — it won't change lanes for you — but it is the most well-rounded and refined semi-autonomous system we've ever tested. There's no ping-pong effect as the car finds the center of the lane, and it always seems to leave a comfortable gap between you and the car ahead. Super Cruise launched in the CT6, which is ending production this year. But the sophisticated technology will migrate to other Cadillacs in 2020. The system is as easy to use as any other adaptive cruise control. Indicators in the instrument cluster and a light on the steering wheel indicate when and if the system is able to work. If you're off the defined grid, you can still use the car's regular adaptive cruise control — you just have to keep your hands on the wheel. Autoblog editors were also impressed with Cadillac's responsible approach to marketing the tech. The company doesn't even promote it as a Level 2 system, as it doesn't want to over-promise and under-deliver. Quite the opposite actually. Super Cruise simply works, and it works well. That's why it's our 2019 Technology of the Year. We'll present the award next week at the Detroit Auto Show. Come back for video of the event. Related Video:

Cadillac Celestiq previewed as a flagship luxury electric car
Tue, Jan 12 2021Last year, our Autoblog Green editor, John Beltz Snyder, got a sneak peik of GM's upcoming electric car roll out. No photos were given, but he described them in great detail. Now we finally get our own peek at one of those cars, the Cadillac Celestiq flagship sedan. Sadly, we don't get a particularly clear look, since Cadillac is only teasing the car at this point, but it's better than nothing, and better than most teasers. We get a top-down shot that reveals the car will share some key cues with the Lyriq crossover EV. Most obvious is the rear with the boomerang taillights and fastback roof, which is a glass unit separated into four pieces. Each piece can be individually adjusted for transparency, and it appears they can be illuminated as well. The front also appears similar to the Lyriq with a geometric grille covered in a transparent panel. The grille looks significantly larger, though. It also features illumination like the crossover. We also get a look at the interior, which prominently features a full-width screen for instruments and infotainment. There appears to be a screen in the center console/stack that can control functions including the roof panel illumination. According to Snyder, the interior also has extensive wood and metal trim intermingling with nifty ambient lighting. Cadillac didn't say much about the mechanical aspects except the basics. It will use GM's Ultium battery technology that will be shared with other products such as the aforementioned Lyriq and the GMC Hummer EV. It will also feature four-wheel steering as well as all-wheel-drive, undoubtedly courtesy of dual motors, one front and one rear. Cadillac previously confirmed that the Celestiq is headed for production. We also suspect that some of the fancy features such as the screens and multi-panel glass roof could make it to production. This is because it's meant to be a halo product showing off the ultimate in luxury and technology from the brand, and it could have a price tag larger than $200,000. We're expecting Cadillac to fully reveal the Celestiq in a few months, but it could be a while before the production version hits the road. The Lyriq isn't going on sale until late next year, and we would bet the Celestiq wouldn't come ahead of it. Related Video:
