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 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 The rear right backup light lens has been replaced by an aftermarket part which is made from plastic.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.

Cadillac considering more electric cars, Elmiraj business case gaining popularity
Fri, 01 Nov 2013Cadillac's electrification isn't likely to stop at the $76,000 ELR coupe, according a report from TheDetroitBureau.com. Speaking to Cadillac's global sales boss, Bob Ferguson, a successful ELR will likely lead to a larger, even more upscale offering than the Volt-based two-door. "I could certainly see a larger vehicle, something even more luxurious," Ferguson said of a potential second, battery-powered Caddy.
That car would likely boast a more potent version of the Voltec powertrain that motivates the Volt and ELR. This next-generation system is still sometime off, though, and won't likely arrive until the second-generation Volt hits the market.
Besides hinting at future plug-in hybrids, Ferguson spoke to TDB about the improving business case for the Elmiraj Concept, shown at the Pebble Beach Concours in Monterey in August. "I'm very excited about the reception for the Elmiraj," Ferguson said. "I'd like to see it in showrooms as soon as possible," he added, before saying that a business case for the production version of the big coupe still needed to be presented to the brass. "It was made to be operationalized," Ferguson added, which is just what we want to hear when it comes to big, flashy concept cars.
Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad
Fri, 05 Jul 2013European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.
2016 Cadillac ATS-V blasts into LA
Tue, 18 Nov 2014The first details about the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V recently hit the web ahead of the official debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Now, the latest model to wear Caddy's high-performance V moniker is officially official, and the specs are even better than initial rumors suggested.
The latest figures actually give the ATS-V a hair more power than first believed, with 455 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque pumping out of the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6. With a standard electronic limited-slip differential keeping rear wheels in check, Cadillac claims that the model sprints to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 185 mph. Buyers have two transmission choices that both offer launch control: a six-speed manual featuring Active Rev Match and no-lift shifting, or an eight-speed automatic.
Thoroughly revised suspension and braking systems should also mean that the ATS-V excels at more than just going in a straight line. The chassis itself receives extra bracing to boost overall stiffness by 25 percent over lesser ATS models. On top of that, a host of suspension upgrades front and rear, including third-generation Magnetic Ride Control dampers, mean quicker steering response and a tighter ride. Plus, Brembo six-piston calipers up front and four-pistons in the rear should bring rapid deceleration. To tune it all to the driver's whim, the Performance Traction Management system gives five settings to choose from for stability and traction control.
