If you are like me you like racing. Here is what it looks like to take a few laps around the wet race track in the Cadillac CTS-V race car.
I find it fascinating that they can maintain that speed in the rain.
1980 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham 4 Door Sedan
Sorry I haven’t updated in a while I was in Austin Texas on a work/vacation. I have some cool stories I am working on including a post on the great looking T-Shirt Dave sent me. If you are thinking about getting a T-shirt from Dave I highly encourage you to do so. My next post will probably be a video of me wearing the shirt. Thanks Dave!
This weeks Cadillac story comes from Jared from Minnesota
I got my 1980 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham when I was 15. It was my grandmothers car until she passed away. At first my favorite car was the 1969 Dodge Charger but after seeing my grandmothers car in my garage day after day I started to like it and I did not want to see it go to the crusher so had my dad buy it from her estate for $750. The car sat in a pole shed for about 15 yrs before we hauled it home. All it took to bring it back to life was a new battery and a starter.
After my first oil chance on the car the rear main seal had to be replace because all the new oil I put in when right out the main seal in a few minutes. The car has suffered hail damage and some teenagers had broken into the pole shed years before we bought it and smashed out all of the windows and dented the roof, doors, and chrome trim. I have been slowly restoring the car over the past 2 years with the little money I have and lately I have not been able to do much because I am in college now learning to become and automotive technician.
I am not building my car to suit other peoples likes, the car will be built the way I want it to. Ever since I got the car I have wanted it to be a one of a kind Cadillac. I am planing on a frame off restoration. I want to put a 454 Chevy big block with dual quad carbs, headers, electric cut outs, and converting it to a six speed manual transmission. It is my favorite car and I never plan to sell it.
Cadillac Announces Price on the 2013 ATS
Cadillac announced the price for the new Cadillac ATS today. The ATS will be priced starting at $33,990. I can tell you that this price is less than I was expecting. After sitting in the ATS at the New York Auto show I can tell you this price will help Cadillac sell a lot of these cars. I still think that this car will come in a convertible and if it did I would buy one tomorrow. I would love to hear your comments! Below is the press release.
DETROIT – The all-new, rear-wheel-drive Cadillac ATS compact luxury sport sedan with a fuel-efficient 2.5L engine and next-generation six-speed transmission will be priced starting at $33,990, including destination charges. Highway fuel economy will be well over 30 mpg.
