This 1953 Cadillac Fleetwood Four Door 60S is an almost perfect example of one of the most luxurious cars built in that era. There were only 109,651 Cadillacs built that year including all models and of that total only 20,000 were Fleetwood 60S models. This was the top of the line Cadillac most being purchased by Doctors, Lawyers, Corporate CEO's and other top professionals. Today, only 2,200 of these rare Fleetwoods remain on State auto registries, with an estimated additional 2,000 spread around in junk yards across the Country. The 1953 Model was the first of the Cadillacs to utilize the 12 volt electrical system, and the one piece rear window. The engine for 53 was a 331 Cu In V8, rated at 210 HP. Transmissions were either GM Hydramatic, or Dynaflow depending on whether the car was built before or after the big fire at the Hydramatic production facility. This car is equipped with the Hydramatic Automatic Transmission. The speedometer shows 25,890 and that appears to be authentic when one reads the restoration records for the car. This fine automobile spend most of it's life in Connecticut and later in the early 2000's it shows up in Wisconsin records. In 2010 the car was documented by an appraisal service in Cloquet, Minnesota and it was most recently appraised by a service in White Bear Lake, MN in February of 2014. That appraisal listed the cars value at from 60,000 to 70,000. The receipt file is extensive to say the least - with over $25,000 in chrome plating alone. The file goes on and on, Professional engine rebuild, transmission, radiator, generator, transmission cooler, new tires, glass, window regulators, window rubbers and the list of small detail parts purchased is endless. The photos tell the story - look them over good. The car drives like a Cadillac should. Smooth, quiet, and fairly quick for it's age and weight. This is luxury once you sit in these couch like seats. The interior is just a perfect as the exterior, the dash board is just exquisite in detail and class. We can be of some assistance with shipping arrangements if that is required, just let us know in advance. Call before bidding for details that may be missing in the description. Car has a clear title and is ready to be transferred to you right away. Sixonetwo Sevenfiveone Five0sevennine will get me anytime during the day in the central time zone for questions. If the asking price seems to be out of your range, just let me know and I can potentially list a "buy it now" price for you that meets your needs. Lets get this car to it's new owner quickly. Thanks for looking, appreciated! Jerry.

Cadillac back on track with 600-hp ATS-V.R racer in FIA GT3 spec [w/video]

Fri, 14 Nov 2014

There was already a rumor brewing that Cadillac might eschew the CTS as its racecar next season in favor of the ATS Coupe. It turns out that is absolutely the case, and now we know just what this 600-horsepower, future racer looks like. The coupe might not be limited to competing in just the US, though, because it's built to FIA GT3-specifications, meaning that this Caddy is also eligible to race in over 30 series worldwide against the likes of Bentley, McLaren, Audi and other premium brands.
The heart of this massively winged Cadillac is an engine dubbed the LF4.R. It's based around the unit in the production ATS-V and CTS Vsport but with larger turbos, bigger intercoolers, side exhausts and other tricks. Cadillac claims it makes a monstrous 600 hp and 520 pound-feet of torque in unrestricted form.
As the photo above shows, the ATS-V.R also wears an aggressive aero kit with a carbon fiber front splitter, and a wing at the back that could probably double as a picnic table in a pinch. The dry weight of the whole package is quoted at about 2,900 pounds, which is around 700 pounds less than the street version.

GM says EVs are the future — but trucks are going to take it there

Fri, Jan 11 2019

In the PowerPoint deck for the General Motors Capital Markets Day presentation, one of the more disturbing things comes early on, during GM President Mark Reuss' initial remarks, in an area where he is discussing the company's overall strength in trucks. The point being made is that GM has a truck for all and sundry. And there it is, a phrase on a slide that should send chills up the spines of those who still pine for the old Bob Seger "Like a Rock" Silverado ads: "Little bit country. Little bit rock 'n' roll." That's right. Donny and Marie. Somehow the Denis Leary snark in the F-150 ads is all the more appealing. The Capital Markets Day presentation was chock full of observations about electrification and automation (Reuss and CEO Mary Barra both noted that the corporation's vision is one of "Zero Crashes. Zero Emissions. Zero Congestion." Dan Ammann talked about the progress being made at Cruise Automation; Reuss rolled out the plan for an array of electrified vehicles, with a luxury EV and a compact SUV being the "Centroid Entries" for the modular bases of many others). But it is worth noting that there is no getting away from the power of pickups in the U.S. market, as that was the central topic in Chief Financial Officer Dhivya Suryadevara's comments, with "Truck Franchise" being flanked by "Key Financial Priorities" and "Financial Outlook." Clearly, to gloss the old phrase, the truck segment is where the money is. Suryadevra enumerated how the truck segment is significantly different than other types of light vehicles. Among her points: GM, Ford and FCA have more than 90% of market share. The truck parc has been growing and aging over the past 10 years. Customers are fiercely loyal to the segment—as in 70% of truck buyers are truck buyers. A good number of the vehicles are for commercial use (40 percent). Trucks are "less prone to. . .mobility disruption." Trucks offer high margins. Translaton: The segment is one that they're solidly positioned in. There are lots of old trucks on the road that will need to be replaced by new ones. Perhaps buyers may switch from a Sierra to a Canyon, but it will be a truck. If your livelihood depends on that type of vehicle, even if gas prices go up or the economy begins to go south, you're going to stick with it. Most of the country isn't San Francisco, so trucks will continue to be essential. And, well, they're profitable in the extreme.
