Drive Type: RWD
Make: Cadillac
Mileage: 89,330

This vehicle is equipped with the original air ride suspension option. When the car is started, the air compressor needs several minutes to pressurize the suspension system, and lift the body to driving height. A chrome lever under the dash can be pulled to activate the "Air Lift" function which raises the back of the car several more inches. This is a rare find.
This vehicle does not have a functioning exhaust system. Some exhaust components are missing. Some exhaust components are not original.
All four doors open easily and close solidly. There is a two inch long crack in the lower driver's window. There is an 8 inch long crack in the lower front passenger's window.
The heater core has leaked and is removed from the vehicle. The sheetmetal components for the heater core and all hardware are in the trunk. (see photo)
A video showing the vehicle reversing, stopping, and then moving forward is available here: http://youtu.be/EpN0VBj2G9M
The vehicle has a new battery
The brakes function, but do not release smoothly.
Some of the photos show a missing hubcap on the rear left wheel. All four hubcaps are in good condition and will be sold with the car.
The automatic antennae does not function. It is stuck in the up position.
The paint appears to be original. It is cracked and crazed in many areas.
The chrome trim is in good condition, although there are many rust specks. There is a dent in the rear right side body trim. There is a dent on the right side of the rear bumper.
The vehicle is equipped with an Autronic Eye device on the dash. It is not known if this device functions.
There is a crack in the front right marker light lens. The rear right backup light lens has been replaced by an aftermarket part which is made from plastic.
The electric windows all function. The three way electric seat adjustment functions. The electric trunk closing device functions.
The headliner fabric is in good condition, but the stitching is coming loose in several areas.
The car was found in the original owner's carport in southern Oregon. The vehicle contained unused tags from 1974, so it probably had not been on the road since 1973. It has been garaged since 1988. This has always been an Oregon car, Oregon does not use road salt in the winter.

GM recalling Cadillac ATS, XTS, Chevy Impala over faulty brake lamps
Thu, 06 Jun 2013General Motors has issued a recall covering 1,627 sedans over faulty brake lamps. Both the 2013 Cadillac ATS and XTS are affected by this problem, as is the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
According to an official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, "the brake lamps may intermittently flash without the brakes being applied and the cruise control may disengage" on these vehicles. The report does not state that the brakes themselves are faulty, but rather that "if the brake lamps flash when the vehicle is not slowing, a following driver may not adjust vehicle speed when the vehicle is in fact braking."
This marks the first recall for the 2013 Cadillac ATS, as well as the recently introduced 2014 Chevy Impala. In late 2012, over 12,000 Cadillac XTS models were recalled due to a head restraint issue.
Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
2014 Cadillac CTS images leak out yet again
Mon, 25 Mar 2013It seems the 2014 Cadillac CTS just doesn't want to stay under wraps. For the second time in as many days, Caddy's next sedan is showing a bit more sheetmetal than the automaker would like before it is officially debuted tomorrow at the New York Auto Show.
This time, the leak comes from USA Today, and we've gone ahead and added them to our gallery of 2014 CTS images. As you may know, Cadillac will bestow the next CTS with an all-new twin-turbo V6 engine that will offer up an impressive 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
USA Today also mentions a new Vsport model but doesn't give any more details other than the fact that it will boast the twin-turbo engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, all you have to do is come back to these pages for the official unveiling tomorrow afternoon for all the sordid details. In the meantime, check out the images above.
