1969 Caddy Convertible, Black W/ White Top on 2040-cars
Lexington, Alabama, United States
|
1969 Cadilliac DeVille Convertible, ! 472 V-8, series 683, 6 passenger. 45 year old "Classic Ride", 225" long (18'-9") It's a head turner, and everyone waves at you! It had a restoration done in 2002/03 but has spent a lot of nights outside since then. It looks great from a few feet away but it does have a few issues. Nothing major, just typical 45 year old car things. See the "condition description". But as my buddy said the other day "It Rides and Drives Like a Cadillac"! But seriously it does drive and ride good and cranks up every time. I made a 100 mile round trip in it a few weeks ago. The wife loves it but I have too many toys to keep it. It has black cloth seats that are in good shape (the previous owner said the leather was too hot). NOTE: This is a 45 year old car with a 12 year old restoration job. Looks good from several away, but does have a few rust bubbles on qtr panel and trunk lid. The vinyl top has a place where it has pulled loose on the back passenger side. The passenger fender, door and qtr panel looks to have been worked in the past. Convertible top is a little slow. Sounds like it has a manifold leak. What does not work; air conditioner, radio, power seats, fuel gauge, clock & I don't have a trunk key but the remote switch in the glove box works. This car does not have a title, Alabama does not require titles on cars of this age. Bill of sale only. Local pickup only. |

Cadillac tipped to call flagship something other than LTS
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without large sedans in its lineup, and while the XTS has had to hold down that end of the fort all on its own, it won't have to for too long. That's because the luxury brand in the General Motors portfolio is preparing to roll out its new LTS, stylistically previewed by the Elmiraj concept pictured above. Only now, the latest thinking is that the upcoming flagship model may not be called LTS at all.
As Automotive News points out, Cadillac's naming scheme is all over the place at the moment. The ATS slotting below the CTS makes sense (alphabetically), but where do the ELR, SRX and especially the Escalade fit into that naming hierarchy? And how would LTS - as the project has been known until now - sit above the XTS?
Fortunately, Cadillac may be on the case, as two of the division's most recent senior appointments seem keen to rationalize the naming scheme. One is Uwe Ellinghaus, who joined Cadillac as chief marketing officer late last year. Speaking of the brand's nomenclature last spring, Ellinghaus was quoted as saying, "We are aware that this is currently a weakness of the Cadillac brand." And his new boss is bound to agree.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
2014 Cadillac CTS
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Fixated By Europeans, GM Ensures The Third Time Is A Charm
Few things are better for consumers than competition raising the bar. And no campaign seems fiercer than the one currently underway in the midsize sport-sedan segment now that Cadillac has introduced its all-new 2014 CTS to go head-to-head against the benchmark Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
While the CTS has been on the market for slightly more than a decade, up until this third-generation, Cadillac hasn't truly had the proper high-performance rear-wheel-drive architecture to build a genuine world-class fighter, both inside and out. And now that the American automaker has successfully mirrored Audi, BMW and Mercedes in overall vehicle size, engine output and cabin appointments, the first shots have been fired.
