1963 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe De Ville on 2040-cars
Temecula, California, United States
|
We have an original California 1963 Cadillac Coupe DeVille that spent its entire life in Santa Barbara until we purchased it from the original estate two years ago. The car has been garaged in Temecula, California since. Original paint and interior with no flaws. Always garaged with no sun damage. Drives very nice with no rattles or squeaks. All glass is perfect and everything works; power windows, power seat (sometimes has issue with moving forward and back), power brakes and steering. The clock works and the original radio works, but is disconnected for an upgraded sound system that is hidden in the glovebox. The power antenna is not working at this time, but may be because the original radio is disconnected.
Outfitted with high-end Dayton wire wheels and radial tires that have less than 1000 miles. I do have a near-perfect set of the original wheel covers (15-inch) that are included and original owners manual. The paint has the factory gloss that you would expect and the seats/dash/instrument cluster are near perfect. This is an amazing example of an unrestored survivor that has always been kept out of the elements. The underside of the car is exemplary with no signs of rust on the chassis or suspension components. This car is very tight and is capable of cruising at 80 mph with no vibration or pull. No history of rust or dent repair! Many cars of this age show pitting of the chrome, even in the interior/dash. This car has absolutely no pitting and presents itself as new. Engine starts and runs perfect with no lifter noise or smoke, etc. The transmission shifts perfectly. There are no leaks on the garage floor to speak of. All lights and signals work as they should as well as all interior lights. The engine bay has NEVER been detailed. Valve cover gaskets are original indicating valve covers have never been taken off and no components have ever been painted since factory. You will not be disappointed so bid with confidence. If you are not satisfied with this purchase, I will buy it back....I am that confident. Robert at 951-506-3572 (home) or 801-712-0802 (cell). Please feel free to call with any questions and/or inspect. |

Cadillac rushing update for laggy CUE infotainment system
Tue, 05 Feb 2013BMW's innovative iDrive was introduced in 2001, and a dozen years later, automakers are still learning hard lessons about what consumers want in their infotainment systems. In response to owner feedback - and a few media drubbings - about the delayed and occasionally fickle responses of its CUE (short for Cadillac User Experience) system, Cadillac has told Wired that it's going to issue an update this year.
Coming for the XTS and ATS, the new software will mean quicker haptic feedback to driver inputs on the touchscreen and the buttons, and snappier responses on screen. Down the road, Cadillac's VP of marketing says that a different mix of screen controls and hard buttons is "something you'll be seeing in the future" - the system is presently a mix of touchscreen-based controls and capacitive-touch switchgear - there are no knobs or physical pushbuttons to speak of, and the omission of both has proven to be a divisive issue among consumers and industry pundits.
Cadillac hasn't provided a date for when the CUE update will be issued, but it has indicated that the service will be performed by dealers, not sent wirelessly.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
