Cadillac Seville Gorgeous Champagne California Car on 2040-cars
Springfield, Missouri, United States
|
Up for bids is my gorgeous 1976 Cadillac Seville. This is a rust free California car that has never seen a winter. I had the car shipped to my storage facility in Springfield Missouri
last year in April 2013. I purchased the vehicle from a gentleman who bought the car from the original owner. The original owner had lost her husband many years ago and she kept the car using it infrequently until she was no longer able to drive. This would account for the very low mileage. The fellow I bought the car from had not owned it very long. He was unable to get the car running properly. The cold start was the primary issue. He had it to several shops trying different things to no avail. I had a pretty good idea what to look for when I made a deal to purchase the car. When I saw the car arrive on the transport truck from California I was just thrilled. We like to never got it running and off the truck but finally it reluctantly started and I was able to get it into my garage. The problem was nothing more than a simple coolant sensor. Finding that coolant sensor took some doing but I finally located one in Oklahoma City. It was a NOS new sensor right in the original GM box. I installed the sensor and the car now starts and runs perfectly. I also removed the entire fuel rail and replaced all the old O-rings. I had one bad fuel injector and just cleaned the other injectors. The car hits the road now like a champ, has lots of power and NO hesitations or stumbles. Finally I did have the entire cooling system and heater core back flushed and the pressure tested. The car is in excellent mechanical condition and could be driven anywhere. To my knowledge the only known defect is that the cruise is not working. The climate control system works properly, heat and defrost as well as cold air. The car is sitting on four new radial tires. The body on this car is super nice and straight. It is an original car with original paint which is slightly faded. The vinyl roof is in very good condition not cracked or torn but slightly faded. In one of my pictures it should show a slight separation of the vinyl away from the lower trim molding for the top. There is one very small minor imperfection in the paint about the size of a silver dollar and it is located on a lower panel. I tried to get a picture of that also. The interior is beautiful on this car. It's one of the nicest original un-restored cars I've seen. My problem is and always has been that I have too many old cars. Last fall a Buick Riviera became available and I bought that car. I only have room in my storage building for four cars. So, I decided to let the Seville go. However, every time I get in that car and drive it I say to myself, "you're crazy to sell this car, where do you find one this nice?" I have been putting off listing this car for two months now simply because I hate to see it go. Well, it's either the Caddy, the Riviera or build another storage building. Someone bidding on this auction is going to get one fine '76' Seville! |

Seinfeld and Don Rickles stretch out in classic Caddy for latest CiCGC
Thu, 04 Jul 2013It's no surprise that for the newest episode of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, airing for the first time on the 4th of July, that a couple of American classics are involved. You'll Never Play the Copa unites Seinfeld with legendary curmudgeon Don Rickles, driving around in a stunner of a 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Seville in Gleneagles Green (upholstery wrapped in Grandma-spec plastic, of course).
Mr. Rickles really steals the show in this one - maybe our favorite CiCGC to date - though the Eldorado plays a strong-jawed costarring role, for sure. Stories about Ronald Regan, Frank Sinatra, Billy Graham and, of course, Herkie Styles are more than worth the price of admission. Check it out below.
2013 Cadillac ATS Premium 2.0T 6MT
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The new Cadillac ATS is an impressive sport sedan, often considered one of the most serious threats to the BMW 3 Series. Unlike GM's previous attempts, this four door brings aggressive styling, commendable chassis dynamics and class-leading handling to the highly competitive battle. And, like its daunting German foe, Cadillac offer several powertrain choices.
I recently spent time with the ATS 2.0T Premium on my home California turf. Fitted with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox with a limited-slip rear differential, my tester was lightly optioned, with only a paint upgrade and a cold weather package. That brought the as-tested price to $46,305, configured the way I imagine most enthusiasts would prefer. This meant I fully expected to enjoy a week with a tossable sport sedan that boasted "fun-to-drive" as its middle name, but all was not well...

Cadillac to recall 20,000 SRX models over wheels that could fall off
Thu, 23 May 2013A potential issue with the lug nuts on 19,871 units of the 2013 Cadillac SRX in the US and Canada has lead to a recall of the luxury crossover. Those lug nuts that have a Teflon topcoat, identified by their bluish tint, could loosen and cause "creaking, rattling or grinding noises or steering vibrations." In the worst case scenario, a wheel could fall off, but there have been no reports of that happening, nor any reports of accidents or injuries due to the issue.
This is the second recall action on the SRX over the last few months. In March, Cadillac recalled 27,000 SRX models over a transmission programming issue. General Motors will begin notifying customers with the potentially faulty parts on June 3, at which time they can take their vehicles to dealers to have the tires rotated and new nuts installed. A further 7,397 SRXs exported from North America also face the recall action.
