Stunning Silver 1970 Deville Convertible Up For Auction, 77k, Under 2k On Drivetrain, NO RESERVE 472 V8, 77k original miles on car, under 2000 miles since mechanical restoration. This is the last year of the Deville Convertibles, it's got a nice combination of silver paint and black leather. The Caddy got a new drivetrain in 2011, about 2000 miles since motor and tranny rebuild. Since I never intended on selling this car, I did everything with the intention of doing it once and doing it right. I spared no expense during the mechanical restoration. The suspension, steering, electrical, fuel, exhaust and all drivetrain components were all either completely rebuilt, tended to as necessary, or improved. When I got the Caddy the original motor wasn't bad, just tired and the tranny was leaking. I wanted to build my Dream Cadillac Convertible so I looked for one with a black leather interior (not easy) and preferably with paint that's not green, brown, baby blue or yellow. I got lucky and found one in Southern California with not just a beautiful black leather interior but with fairly new metallic silver paint. The Caddy was originally more of a light gray, the paint is a modern metallic silver. I don't like using the word "restored" because people define it differently. Mechanical: Engine rebuild including new motor mounts, newly painted engine bay, new radiator and hoses as well as externals (generator/regulator, power steering pump, fuel pump, carburetor, etc) as well as all gaskets (exhaust manifold, intake, etc). Transmission rebuilt at the same time, under 2000 miles on engine and transmission. I dressed up the motor a bit, I put on a chrome air cleaner and valve covers, I will include the freshly painted original air cleaner and valve covers or put them back on the car if requested. All the internals of the engine are stock. When the engine was rebuilt the Caddy got a full exhaust system from the engine back, everything done right, all pipes welded, it's nice and quiet. The entire brake system was redone as well, lines, calipers, rotors, cylinders, hoses and the booster was painted along with the engine comprtment. She got new front end parts including springs, idler arm, ball joints, bushings and shocks as well as a set of new Goodyear tires, the steel wheels were sandblasted and painted. I had the gas tank removed, cleaned and painted as well. The A/C compressor was not put back on the engine after the rebuild, that was the last thing to be done (they were waiting on some replacement a/c parts) but I wanted the car back and never got around to it. I was going to put it back on and get the A/C working this past summer but I ended up just leaving the top down and the boot cover on. The A/C did work before the rebuild, it actually still had the old freon and while it needed a charge, it still blew cold air. I will include the compressor and any parts not put back on, they're all boxed up. The top motor or switch quit towards the end of the season last fall, I haven't looked into it, it's easy to put up and down by hand. The power windows all work well. The 472 feels nice and strong, it's one of the best Cadillac motors ever. Cosmetics: the interior is very nice, the leather overall is in excellent condition, even the driver's seat does not show wear. The door panels, rear panels dashboard / dash display, headliner and visors are in very good original condition, no cracks, tears or missing parts. I replaced the faded original carpet with a fitted correct syle carpet off Ebay. The convertible top was replaced when the car was painted about seven years ago. It has a glass back window and a nice leather look boot cover. The underside looks like new, does not even show surface rust. All floors and trunk solid under the carpet, the Caddy has never been hit or had any kind of body repair and the chrome shines nicely. The weatherstripping around the windows and in the trunk is all new. She's never been out in the winter, she's always been a "Garage Queen". I'm only selling the Deville due to urgent financial circumstances as you can see from the lack of a reserve price. I've got more invested in the Caddy than any other classic I've ever owned, the mechanical restoration was the type done with the intention of driving the car for a long time. The photos you see are a combination of some quickies I took last spring for a photo shoot and the interior shots were taken on a movie set this past September (the movie is called "The Love Club", coming out in late 2014 or early 2015). I don't expect to get back what I've invested (we never do, I know), I just hope she goes to someone who will appreciate and take care of her. I hope I can another Caddy like this one when I'm ready get another. Engine starts easily even after sitting for weeks, the garage floor is always dry when I pull her out. She cruises nicely on the highway, 375 horsepower 472 V8 moves this big girl up the highway with ease. She idles perfectly, shifts smoothly, brakes evenly and the suspension is luxurious. Drives overall like an classic American cruiser should. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Deville is for sale locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a good door to door auto shipper if you need one. Classic Caddy which is as much a pleasure to drive as she is to look at. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230 |

GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee
Tue, Sep 8 2015General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.
NHTSA approves hybrid rearview mirror display in Cadillac CT6, Bolt EV
Tue, Feb 23 2016The 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:
2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe
Thu, 30 Oct 2014Cadillac has become a very, very different company since the dawn of the new millenium. Its turn-of-the-century lineup, consisting of staid offerings like the Seville, DeVille and Eldorado, represented the Old Cadillac. These cars were plagued with Old GM quality issues and catered to a more elderly audience. Since the company's Art and Science design language arrived, though, we've seen Cadillac flesh out its lineup in a big way, introducing notable and (so far) enduring products, like the the CTS, SRX and most recently, the ATS.
With the CTS tackling the 5 Series segment and the SRX duking it out with the Lexus RX and its classmates, the ATS has been left with the tough task of battling the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, among others. Critically, at least, it has excelled in this role, but it's still working on finding its feet sales-wise. On paper, broadening the model range by adding a two-door personal luxury coupe could help.
After a week with the ATS Coupe, though, we've found a car that, while retaining the standard model's excellent driving character, doesn't quite offer enough visual excitement to stand up to other cars in its segment.
