1966 Cadillac DeVille Convertible Original #10 Sable Black *** 51,336 Original Miles *** Factory Triple Black "A stunning example of open air Cadillac style in Elegant Sable Black!" OFFERED FOR SALE is what I believe to be the nicest original DeVille Convertible I have seen in some time. Sold new on March 2, 1966 at CENTRAL CADILLAC Co. in Cleveland, OH, this factory original #10 Sable Black car with original black interior and top that has just 51,336 original miles and has been meticulously maintained since new. This DeVille Convertible has had the good fortune of being well cared for since it was new and it's condition speaks volumes. With the exception of a single re-paint, it is unrestored and has the appearance of a car that might be just a few years old. The interior, dash pad, door panels, instrumentation, bezels, lenses are all in excellent condition. The exterior bumpers, bezels, lenses, rubber trims, side moldings, grille are all excellent as well. The body is arrow straight (and a black car tells all) and the paint presents so well that it has the look and patina of amazingly well cared for original. Features on this DeVille are Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Seats, AM-FM with power antenna, Power Windows, and Tilt-Telescopic Wheel. Being what I imagine was Nick L.'s "summer love" and a convertible, he probably figured the top would be down when he was driving it so the car wasn't equipped with A/C....However, I always felt the addition of factory A/C would be the greatest gift an owner could afford upon such a outstanding car so I purchased a parts car that was factory A/C equipped so that it could be retrofitted, and that car is included with the sale. It has the engine (which runs on a remote fuel bottle) still in place and has all the hardware, mounting brackets, heater/evaporator box, water pump housing, as well as a nice lower dash panel with the eyeball vents. I would expect that the cost for a professional installation including new correct components might run $4000-$5000 with labor but it would be worth 2x the expense to a car of this caliber. Included in the sale are the original Protect-o-Plate, Owner's Manuals, and original blue vinyl holder. You will not find a nicer correct triple Black 1966 Cadillac Convertible on the market today......It will not last! "Nothing evokes the style and elegance of the 1960's more than a Sable Black Cadillac convertible".......What a well preserved example for your collection....What a great way to enjoy a bygone era. Call or email with any questions: 336-202-8762. Thank you!

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness.
To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year.
Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
