As we learned in ourprevious installment, 1965 saw a revamp in Cadillac’s lineup: The “Series” naming scheme that began in the Thirties ended as Calais became the entry-level model, all models (excepting Seventy-Five) received stacked quad headlamps for a new visage, and the Eldorado was elevated to Fleetwood Eldorado status. Cadillac also made some engineering changes, in hopes to quiet some pesky customers and lawyers who kept bringing up safety.

Here's an interesting one -- a 2001 Chevrolet Blazer that has had a manual transmission swapped in for an automatic. Oh, and it has been used for storm chasing. It's hard to tell if it's actually for sale yet -- the owner lists an asking price of $1,234 and then queries the forum to see what a fair price would be. Still, I feel confident that it will be for sale soon.In addition to the transmission swap, it's had a full tuneup and the suspension and brakes have been replaced with new parts.Sorry

At first, Tesla loved to tout its Cybertruck order numbers, but it now seems like the list of hopeful buyers might not be so hefty. A short while ago, we reported that the lead time for a new Cybertruck had shrunk considerably. Now, we’re learning that Tesla is implementing a new lease program designed to draw in potential buyers for the ultra-polarizing pickup truck. Tesla’s new lease program starts at $999 per month. Dual-Motor variants can be had for that price on a 36-month lease

GM has announced it will end production of the Cadillac XT4 early next year in a shift towards EVs, namely the next-gen Chevy Bolt, at its Fairfax plant in Kansas.
This wasn’t the original plan. Those of you with long memories may recall the company said earlier this year it would build the XT4 and new Bolt on the same assembly line. Apparently, someone with access to a PowerPoint slide deck had a change of heart. The company is plowing about $390 million into Fairfax for retooling and oth

We visit Mission Motorsport as it looks to give a Subaru BRZ a new life, as well as its beneficiariesIn a workshop in deepest Oxfordshire, a Subaru BRZ is being restored to life.
It’s a write-off – a Category N, which means it has sustained non-structural damage and can be repaired and returned to the road. So far, so ordinary, except the people putting this Subaru back on the road are veterans of the armed services with the scars – some physical, some mental – to prove i

It has been a turbulent few years for the Blue Oval, but the brand is finally profitable in the UKLisa Brankin took the top job at Ford of Britain in late 2020 just as the brand was about to execute plans to willingly give up a market-leading volume position for its car business in pursuit of the profitability that had always eluded it.
While Brankin’s observation that “timing is everything, and I think probably my timing isn't as good as it could have been…” was said la

Nissan is still struggling, even with a much-improved Kicks on the market and other new product on the way. So, I ask of you, if you woke up tomorrow as CEO of Nissan, how would you fix the brand? It's a question we've explored before, but not for some time.Personally I think I'd invest resources into new platforms instead of using heavily massaged older platforms, as the brand did with the Z. I think the Kicks is a step in the right direction -- the brand is offering a solid content mix for not
