1961 Cadillac Fleetwood W/ 45k Original Miles No Reserve! on 2040-cars
Fort White, Florida, United States
|
Up for your consideration is a beautiful 1961 Fleetwood at NO RESERVE. As you can see by the low low miles, this car has been driven very little. As it was told to me it was purchased new in Michigan where it was kept in a heated garage every winter for te first few years of its life until the owners relocated to sunny Florida to retire. That is where the car is and has been ever since. There are very few negatives to speak of about the car. It has some normal wear showing on the driver seat that I just couldnt make myself repair for the sake of retaining its originality. There is a piece of trim that needs a clip on the left rear fender (trim is fine). There is also a small ding in the hood that happened while I had the car that can be repaired very easily and inexpensively. Rear seal has a slight drip (common in old cars). But nothing worth addressing. I had planned on doing a complete repaint and customization of the car, but as I said, I don't think this is the right car for that. I plan to find a more 'seasoned' car to customize and let this one carry on in it's existing form to someone who will appreciate its originality.
Details-
The car smells like a 1961 Caddy inside. Never any smokers. Ashtrays are clean with no indication of ever beeing used. The car is beautiful. The chrome work shines. The doors have no sag or slop. The radio works. The original power antenna goes up and down. Power windows, vent wings and seats work. Car starts and runs beautifully. Steers great. No wander or slop. Motor is quiet. No smoke. No hesitation on accelleration. Idles nice. Radial tires are great. Plenty of rubber. No rot. The original muffler formed a rust hole last month on the way back from Daytona. I replaced the entire exhaust from the manifold to the tailpipe. Don't think anyone has ever sat in the back seat. What a pleasure to drive. This car is like a time capsule. These cars are the reason for the term 'Rides like a Cadillac'. My wifes 2013 doesn't ride this nice. If there is anything I have forgotten to cover, please send me a message and I will gladly respond. If you are in N. Florida and would like to inspect before you bid or purchase, please contact me to set up a date and time that's good for you. I can help deliver the car within a couple hundred miles for a fee that can be worked out before the sale. I obviously can't warranty the car since it's not new, but I am confident it will leave here and take you anywhere you feel like going. Bid with confidence. Ask questions before bidding. I will answer them. $500 deposit due at end of auction. Balance due on or before pickup date. Cash is best. All other forms of payment must clear my bank and be liquid before car leaves my garage. Good luck bidding!

Note the cardboard instructions on the inside of trunk lid is still in perfect shape. Never got wet or damaged in all these years. |

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.
Cadillac releases updated 2015 CTS
Sun, 10 Aug 2014Cadillac is in the process of applying the new wreathless emblem across its range one model at a time, but rather than simply slap the new logo on the existing models, it's taking the opportunity to roll out some revisions as well. First came the ATS coupe, followed by the updated ATS sedan, and now the flagship brand in the General Motors portfolio has quietly announced some revisions for the CTS sedan as well.
For the 2015 model year, the CTS - which was just introduced last year - gets a revised front end with that wreathless crest but also a new chrome grille with active aero elements on standard models and a black-chrome grille on the Vsport. The revised grille is flanked by new headlights, but behind them the engine lineup carries over: a 2.0-liter turbo four with 272 horsepower, a 3.6-liter V6 with 321 hp or - in the Vsport performance model - a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 with 420 hp that's still the most powerful V6 GM has ever made. All engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission (ditching the six-speed auto on previous versions) and (apart from the RWD Vsport) can be had in rear- or all-wheel-drive flavors.
Cadillac has also given the updated CTS some new electronics (including inductive smartphone charging, onboard wifi, and more advanced parking and lane assist systems) as well as new wheels, trims and color options, details on which you can read in the press release below.
Cadillac to bolster CT sedans with XT crossovers
Wed, 01 Oct 2014Cadillac is moving swiftly to change up its naming scheme. Barely over a week ago we received our first indication that it was considering a different name its the upcoming flagship sedan previously known as LTS. Then Cadillac not only revealed the model would be called CT6, but announced that it would set the stage with a massive overhaul of its model nomenclature. And now we have another piece of the puzzle.
According to Forbes, Cadillac will not only rename its sedans with the letters CT, but will realign its utility vehicles under the banner of XT - both to be followed by a number indicating its place in the lineup. The one exception will be the Escalade, whose nameplate has such a strong following that it would be foolish for Cadillac to cast it aside. That leaves only the SRX (pictured above), but makes room for a new crop of crossovers said to be in the works.
It's a similar approach which Cadillac's new boss Johan de Nysschen took in revising the naming scheme at Infiniti. While it's bound to ruffle some feathers and scratch some heads in the beginning - especially since the company's current flagship sedan is called XTS - it's equally sure to make sense of it all in the long run. All we need to know now is what Nysschen and his marketing chief Uwe Ellinghaus plan to call the coupes.
