Up for auction is my 1968 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. This particular Sedan DeVille is not a hardtop, it is a post vehicle which means there is a post between the front and rear doors. The car has an original 84,663 miles and is in presentable, original condition. The car still retains approximately 80% of its original paint with some fading on the trunk and hood areas. I did have the vinyl top replaced in 2007 and the vinyl top is still in excellent condition. When the original vinyl top was removed there was no signs of rust and it was treated/prepped/sealed prior to the installation of the new top. There is a small door ding in the drivers door as well as a small ding between the right hand cornering light and headlight door (see pictures). There is also a dent in the rear bumper removable molding insert on the drivers side (see picture). About six months ago I noticed a few rust bubbles on the lower front fenders and I took the vehicle to a body shop to have them repaired and the paint blended into the original paint.

The interior is in excellent original condition for the age of the vehicle, but does have some flaws. The flaws include some armrest cracking on the driver and passenger side front door panels. One button on the front seat upholstery popped off and one floor mat is missing (passenger side front). The carpet, headliner, dash pad, and the rest of the interior looks good. The car is fairly well-equipped including air-conditioning (working - new compressor charged with R134a), power windows (all working), power seat, power door locks (which are lazy at times I think they are vacuum controlled), tilt-telescopic steering wheel, automatic headlight dimmers, AM/FM Stereo Radio with power antenna, cruise-control (works when it wants to from time to time), automatic trunk release with vacuum pull down trunk lock, rear window defrost, and a clock that does not work.

Mechanically the car is in excellent condition. I had the engine rebuilt which included new rings, new bearings, new cam, new lifters, new push rods, new valve seals, new timing chain set, new oil pump/screen, and new gaskets/seals. Also the car has had all of the following replaced: new carburetor, new starter, new distributor, new smog pump, new water pump, new gear box, new radiator hoses, new belts, new power steering pump, new power steering hoses, new thermostat, new fuel pump, and the radiator was cleaned and tested. All the brake components were replaced which included new brake shoes, new brake wheel cylinders, new brake hoses, new hardware kits, and new master cylinder.

The vehicle is currently being sold as-is and where-is with no warranty implied or expressed. Make sure to ask any and all questions prior to bidding on this vehicle. A deposit of $500.00 dollars will be required within 5 days from the close of auction. The buyer is responsible for shipping and transport. The high bidder can make additional arrangements with seller if both agree. Full payment is required within 10 days of auction's close. Cash or Cashiers Check/Money Order. Please note title and car will be held until method of payment clears the bank. As mentioned earlier please ask all your questions prior to bidding. Any questions will be answered honestly, because I do not want anyone to be dissatisfied. 

Lastly, this item is being re-listed due to a bidder who was not aware of how an auction site worked and placed a bid without knowing the responsibilities or consequences associated with not following through with being a high bidder.  Therefore, please bid responsibly and ask questions prior to bidding.  Make sure to read the rules and guidelines of eBay prior to making a commitment to purchase an item.  Thank you for understanding.

Combative de Nysschen defends Cadillac move, naming change

Mon, 29 Sep 2014


Johan de Nysschen isn't afraid of taking quick, decisive actions, even if they are criticized. Since taking the wheel at Cadillac, he instigated moving the luxury division's base of operations to Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood and introduced a new naming scheme for the future of the brand, like he did at Infiniti. The polarizing boss recently explained his feelings about the future of Cadillac in more depth on his Facebook page, but unfortunately only his friends could read it. Thankfully, Daily Kanban posted much of the strongly worded missive for the whole world to see.
Much of the message examines the decision to move some employees to New York. De Nysschen claims that it's all about giving Cadillac distance from Detroit to reshape itself. It allows for, "No distractions. No side shows. No cross-brand corporate considerations. No homogenized lowest common denominator approach. Just pure, unadulterated, CLASS."

Cadillac expects major growth in China

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

The US sales issues facing Cadillac are not being paralleled in the People's Republic of China, as a new report from Automotive News indicates the US luxury maker should see its sales increase by as much as 40 percent.
The report cites Cadillac's own forecasts, which put its 2014 sales in the PRC at 70,000 units after cresting 45,000 vehicles at the end of August. Provided the sales pace holds true through 2015, the brand would hit its new 100,000-unit sales goal, AN reports.
"We're very optimistic about the luxury market, we believe that the luxury market by 2016 here will become the largest luxury market in the world, surpassing even the size of luxury in Europe," GM China President Matthew Tsien told AN. "With [Cadillac president] Johan [de Nysschen], we have somebody that really is an executive that understands luxury, but he also is very, very keen on understanding what do we need here in China for Cadillac to be successful."

Cadillac SRX production moving to TN, next-gen Equinox going to Mexico

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

It's a good week for the town of Spring Hill, TN, as General Motors has announced that its factory in the city of 31,000 will receive a $185 million contract to produce engines. On top of that, the next-generation Cadillac SRX crossover will be built at the factory (NA models are presently built in Ramos, Arizpe Mexico), which was once famous for being the home of GM's now-defunct Saturn brand.
The factory is one of GM's six facilities around the globe that will screw together the company's new line of three- and four-cylinder Ecotec engines. Spring Hill currently builds the 2.0-liter, turbocharged Ecotec, as well as the naturally aspirated 2.4 and 2.5-liter variants.
Spring Hill's vehicle assembly lines were idled in 2009, but were reactivated in 2011. The SRX is just one of the products meant to benefit from last year's $350-million investment, and should have a positive impact, creating or retaining around 1,800 positions at the factory.
