 NO RESERVE AUCTION      Barn Find:  Up for bid is a  "Commemorative Edition" 1985 Cadillac Touring Coupe. One of only 585 touring coupes produced  in 1985 and one of  only a few that were ordered with the gold commemorative package. How many still are around, if any, I am not sure.  Yes, the mileage is right as this old girl still has her original set of Uniroyal "Gold Seals" on  her after all these years and they still show about 70% - 80% tread.  She was a Sunday driver and came from the estate of a local businessman who passed away several years back.  This vintage Caddy starts and runs well but the brakes are a little spongy from sitting and the "Brake Warning" light stays on when driving.  It has climate control  and still blows cool but not cold when turned on.  She needs a new owner to restore her back to her original elegance that she had when she left the Linden NJ plant in 1985.  This car is a great investment considering its truly "One of a Kind" factory order and modification makeup ranging from the Hood Mascot and Chrome Wings, Rolls Front Valence Piece, Fender Side Pipes and Step Boards, Scripted Glass/Taillights, Continental Spare Tire Kit, the ASC conversion Sunroof,  Phaetom Style Rear Roof with Gold Accents...  Bodywise this car is straight and complete although there is some rust mostly on the passenger side as the pictures show.  Terms of sale are a $500 deposit from high bidder via PayPal within 24 hours of auction close and remaining balance by Bank Draft within 5 days of auction close.  Pickup location is Pembina ND zip code 58271 and car will need to be picked up within 2 weeks of auction close unless other arrangements are made. I can help arrangement shipment to your location if needed but the cost is the responsibility of the new owner.  Thanks for looking...

GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad

European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.

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.
