This Elvis Special!!!  1970 Cadillac De Ville 2 door convertible is all original--472 cubic inch motor.  I am the second owner of the car.  It has been garage kept and covered. Can't think of a more original car.  I purchased it from Mr. Short who bought the vehicle new in Lincolnwood Illinois (see bill of sale)  a Chicago Suburb.  He drove it hear to Southern Illinois to start a chain of Mc Donalds.  I saw the car occasionally in parades over the years.  When I found out it was coming up for sale I bought it the same day.  I did not argue about the price, that was approximately 10 years ago.  I only drive it a few times a year.  I have kept everything original, the only thing I have done is change the oil & filter.


This most desirable color combination of  Cotillion white with red leather interior is a beautiful vehicle.  All original has not been redone even  the original patina of the leather.  Most 1970's have been reupholstered.  Look at the seams and buttons which is on the original interiors.  This has a beautiful original interior.   All numbers match on the car.  The original equipment has tilt and telescope steering wheel, remote control trunk lock with warning light, door edge guards, tinted glass, 6 way power seat, automatic climate control, am/fm stereo signal seeking radio, rear window defogger. Chrome is clean with no rust.  Carpet and dash like new, original floor mats front & back and convertible top cover all snaps are in good shape.  Original paint very nice, all door jams & doors clean no rust. Undercarriage is clean with no rust.  Original spare tire still in trunk with the original jack with it's original security cover.  A great original specimen that hasn't been messed with.  Engine always starts, does not burn or blow oil, top and windows work beautifully just a really nice original car.  

Also have all the original  paperwork, bill of sale from 1970, 1970 owner manual, Cadillac protecto plate, new vehicle warranty papers, consumer information,  original Cadillac keys that came with vehicle, original wheel covers and new tires.  Also when we were cleaning the dashboard last fall I noticed a nickel stuck near the window.  When I got it out the nickel was from 1970 that will also go with the car. (too funny) 

Can't think of a more original car.  I am selling the car because I am down sizing and have other vehicles and I am getting older.  I would love to sell this original specimen to a person that would appreciate it with all it's original history.  I am not a dealer just a guy with a cool Cadillac. I have the car priced at what I think is a very fair reserve for a Cadillac in this original condition and all it's documented history.  I would consider this a high value Cadillac.  Can assist in coordinating shipping anywhere.

If you are in the market for a luxury coupe but would prefer it to be American, then you are in luck because the configurator for the 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe is now online.
Prices for the Cadillac start at $38,990 (including the $995 destination fee) for the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 272 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, or $46,145 for the 321-hp, 275-lb-ft 3.6-liter V6. Gearbox options include a six-speed manual on some 2.0 models or a six-speed automatic on both of them, and they can be ordered with all-wheel drive for $2,450 to the four-cylinder or $2,600 to the 3.6.

There are also 10 colors available, five of which carry an extra premium of $495 or $995. Upgraded interior packages for $1,295 add improved trim and leather, as well.

Johan responds to critics again about Cadillac's NY move

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Cadillac's new President Johan de Nysschen has faced a fair amount of criticism since assuming his position at the head of the American luxury manufacturer. From the company's move to New York City to a controversial new naming scheme, the first few months of his tenure have not been smooth sailing. Now, the embattled exec is firing back against his critics, notably Automotive News Editor-in-Chief Keith Crain, in a new column running in AN.
De Nysschen countered Crain's claim that the move to the Big Apple, "can only mean that someone wants to live in New York."
"The relocation decision is entirely unrelated to the personal living preferences of any Cadillac executive. No corporation would tolerate such indulgence by its leadership," de Nysschen wrote. "It is about structurally entrenching a challenge to the status quo by reinforcing the psychological and physical separation in business philosophy between the mainstream brands and GM's luxury brand."
