1952 Cadillac Fleetwood Rust Free From Califorina on 2040-cars
Canadensis, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This Fleetwood was brought to the East Coast in 1989 and has been garage kept. The Cadillac has been re-painted many years ago in a darker shade of green than the original and should be painted again as the paint that is on there now will not hold a shine. The original color can be seen in the pictures under the hood and trunk lid. They did change to the darker green in the door jambs. The body, floor boards and frame are solid except for some surface rust. There are no holes anywhere. It appears to be complete with no parts missing and all the trim is in good shape with only the 2 vertical moldings on the rear doors having some dings and a few minor dents. The chrome is ok except for the grille which you can see from the pictures has the plating wore off but is very solid. The interior has had seat covers installed and I have no idea what is under them. The door panels and carpet need to be replaced but are serviceable as they are. The trunk lining should be replaced also. All glass is good and all gauges work. I have not tried the radio but did try the vacuum antenna and it tries to go up on it's own but will not come down without some help. The windows work from the master switch but the left rear does not operate from the switch on the door itself. I'm sure all the contacts need cleaning. Tires are 2 years old and show no signs of dry rot or cracking. It has a good brake pedal and stops reasonably well for a car of this size. The transmission shifts good and the fluid has good color. The oil and filter have just been changed and a tune-up done, new plugs, points, cap and wires. The valve cover gaskets were replaced and everything looked good when we removed them, clean and no build up of gunk. The odometer shows 98,209 which I believe are the original miles although I have no way to verify that. I welcome you or your representative to come and inspect the vehicle before purchase. Any questions please give me a call as I have tried to explain all I know about the car. I can be reached at 570-460-8395 EST or email thru eBay. Vehicle is sold as-is with no warranty expressed or implied. Payment must be made in full before vehicle leaves my property and title released. I will accept a bank wire transfer, personal check or cash in person. All funds must clear before vehicle is released. I would like the vehicle removed within 30 days close of auction. |

Cadillac logo losing its wreath?
Tue, 23 Jul 2013The easily recognizable Cadillac logo dates back to the company's founding in the early 1900s, but over the last 110 years, there has been an on-again, off-again love affair with the wreath surrounding the crest. Cadillac's current badge design has used the wreath since the 1980s, but Automotive News is reporting that GM's luxury division is planning to ditch the laurel wreath for a cleaner-looking logo.
The new logo could make its debut as early as next month on a new concept car that will be revealed at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, although the report also says that it might be until 2015 before it makes its way to a production car. Even then, it doesn't like anything has been finalized yet, as the article also says that plans could still change.
As Cadillac looks to improve its global presence as a luxury automaker, the report says that a simpler logo could make it easier for designers to incorporate the badge onto the car - either in the grille or above the grille (possibly in a fashion similar to Mercedes-Benz). Head on over to the AN article, which shows the Cadillac logo dating back to its earliest design.
Cadillac to bolster CT sedans with XT crossovers
Wed, 01 Oct 2014Cadillac is moving swiftly to change up its naming scheme. Barely over a week ago we received our first indication that it was considering a different name its the upcoming flagship sedan previously known as LTS. Then Cadillac not only revealed the model would be called CT6, but announced that it would set the stage with a massive overhaul of its model nomenclature. And now we have another piece of the puzzle.
According to Forbes, Cadillac will not only rename its sedans with the letters CT, but will realign its utility vehicles under the banner of XT - both to be followed by a number indicating its place in the lineup. The one exception will be the Escalade, whose nameplate has such a strong following that it would be foolish for Cadillac to cast it aside. That leaves only the SRX (pictured above), but makes room for a new crop of crossovers said to be in the works.
It's a similar approach which Cadillac's new boss Johan de Nysschen took in revising the naming scheme at Infiniti. While it's bound to ruffle some feathers and scratch some heads in the beginning - especially since the company's current flagship sedan is called XTS - it's equally sure to make sense of it all in the long run. All we need to know now is what Nysschen and his marketing chief Uwe Ellinghaus plan to call the coupes.
Cadillac SRX production moving to TN, next-gen Equinox going to Mexico
Fri, 29 Aug 2014It's a good week for the town of Spring Hill, TN, as General Motors has announced that its factory in the city of 31,000 will receive a $185 million contract to produce engines. On top of that, the next-generation Cadillac SRX crossover will be built at the factory (NA models are presently built in Ramos, Arizpe Mexico), which was once famous for being the home of GM's now-defunct Saturn brand.
The factory is one of GM's six facilities around the globe that will screw together the company's new line of three- and four-cylinder Ecotec engines. Spring Hill currently builds the 2.0-liter, turbocharged Ecotec, as well as the naturally aspirated 2.4 and 2.5-liter variants.
Spring Hill's vehicle assembly lines were idled in 2009, but were reactivated in 2011. The SRX is just one of the products meant to benefit from last year's $350-million investment, and should have a positive impact, creating or retaining around 1,800 positions at the factory.
