The 1976 Cadillac Deville 4-door Sedan represents the END of the true first generation Cadillacs. The 1976 Cadillac Deville was the last year before GM started with the first generation of down-sized Cadillacs. Additionally, it was the last year of the 500 cubic inch big block. Style-wise, the "76" Deville was the final year of the pillar-less four door and the last Deville marketed with fender skirts. This particular Deville is an unbelievably clean, one owner car with 67,700 genuine miles. The original owner of this Cadillac was my wives great aunt who passed last year in her very late 80's. She drove very sparingly resulting in the very low mileage on this car. She hated leather seats so she ordered the still perfect cloth interior which is very comfortable. The Cadillac has all the normal options which all operate perfectly including "76's" introduction of the standard 6 way power seat. The climate control air conditioning has, upon arrival to Florida, been retrofitted with R123 and works perfectly as does everything including the 8 track player in the stereo system. Additionally, when we received the car we had a complete overhaul done, freshed the brakes both front and rear and upgraded the alternator from the stock 63 amp to a 100 amp unit. There are a couple of very minor surface rust spots around the rear tires where dirt and stones have been thrown off the tires and knocked the paint off. Also visible in the photos, is a bit of a dent on the passenger side rear quarter from when she misjudged her garage. This car represents that quintessential story of an old lady almost never driving a garage kept classic. A driver that NEVER abused the car. My wives aunt was the executor of the estate, took possession of the car and delivered the car to my wife. Technically, its not a one owner car anymore.......but it is. This is such a nice car and I am positive you will enjoy it if you become the new owner.

Cadillac to vie for Secret Service armored car contract, new Beast?
Wed, 03 Jul 2013President Obama has used the same armored limo since his inauguration in 2008. Known by many as The Beast, the Presidential Limo was provided by Cadillac and earned its nickname in large part because of its massive size, which isn't surprising considering that its Caddy-shaped bodywork is said to sit atop a heavy-duty truck chassis.
It seems the Secret Service may be in the market for a Beast replacement, having issued a request for proposals for a new armored limo. According to Motor Trend, Obama's backup limo is a leftover from the Bush Administration, so it will be interesting to see if this new machine will serve as a replacement for The Beast or for its backup. The contract is to be awarded by September 29, 2013.
The boys from MT contacted Cadillac, Lincoln and Chrysler, and Chrysler is the only one that would confirm that it is not pursuing the contract. Cadillac may have the inside track, as it has provided Presidential limos since 1993, but Lincoln also has a long and storied history of chauffeuring the President.
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
Cadillac to move select offices from Detroit to Manhattan?
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Under Johan de Nysschen, Infiniti moved its headquarters from Yokohama, Japan, to Hong Kong. Now at Cadillac, it appears the company's new president could be planning a relocation of at least some of the brand's operations from Detroit to Manhattan, according to a new report from Reuters.
In the case of Infiniti, de Nysschen pushed for the move because moving away from the brand's Nissan overlords would allow it a bit more freedom. It's evidently a similar case for Cadillac, with Reuters speculating that such a move would help distance the brand from the corporate culture in Detroit. A Big Apple move could also attract new talent that may have considered a job with the brand but were put off by the idea of living in Detroit.
It's important to note that if such a move takes place, it likely won't affect the folks actually responsible for developing the brand's vehicles. Instead, administrative functions, including marketing, could be the focus of the relocation.
