This ’76 Eldorado is in excellent condition with only 42k original miles!!!
The long clean lines of this Cadillac are complimented by their signature chrome trim and accented by a white convertible top. A very clean and original white Leather Interior finishes off this well optioned Eldorado perfectly. The door panels, carpeting and gauges are all in very good condition. This Eldorado features all of the luxury items Cadillac is known for such as Power Windows, Power Locks, Tilt & Telescopic Wheel, Cruise Control, Defrost, and power front seats. This Eldorado is equipped with Cadillac’s 500 cid V8. Since the Eldo has no driveshaft going to the rear axle, 6 passengers can comfortably sit inside the cabin. ’76 is also the first year for standard 4-wheel disc brakes and the black trimmed wheel covers. The 1976 Eldorado Convertible was end of an era Cadillac, and since then the Eldorado ragtop has rapidly become more collectible than ever. So stop in, drop the top and see how nice this Caddy really is, down to The Last Detail! As shown on the pictures, the blue exterior and white interior combination looks stunning and this car gets all the attention and thumbs up on the road. This Cadillac starts right up with little effort and runs very smoothly. The transmission shifts smoothly and the suspension keeps the car firmly planted when cruising. Mechanically the car runs very great, starts right up, 80 mph down the highway nice and smooth. For reliability and safety, all the following repairs were done in 2011 and I only drove 1500 miles in this beauty since. · The convertible top was replaced, · The carpet was replaced on the floor. · 4 new disc brakes and Pads, 2 new rotors. · New brake Lines. · 2 new wheel bearing front. · New steering damper. · AC conversion to R134, ICE Cold AC · 4 new Toyo tires · 2 air shocks (automatic system in place but has been replaced by two air shocks adjustable) · New radiator · New valve cover gaskets (2) · New transmission pan gasket · New oil pan gasket · New manifold gasket · New intake gasket What is left to be done: · Install a new radio (speakers are ok) · Fix the cruise and power antenna switch. This car was obviously never winter driven and has seen very little rain. The underneath of the car speaks for itself, it is mint. Please do not hesitate to ask any question to help you bid in confidence on this beauty. |

GM recalls Chevy Impala, Cadillac XTS for braking problem
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Back in April, General Motors launched an investigation into braking issues affecting the 2014 Chevy Impala. Now there's a recall of both the Impala and the Cadillac XTS with which it shares its Epsilon II platform.
The issue apparently revolves around the electronic parking brake, which may not properly disengage. As a result, the rear brake pads could rub the rotor even while the vehicle is in motion, causing "significant heat, smoke and sparks." The earlier investigation had been launched following a complaint regarding the forward collision avoidance system, which is now either appears to have been unrelated or possibly a symptom of this larger issue.
The recall affects 2013-15 XTS models manufactured between February 14, 2012, and August 22, 2014, as well as 2014-15 Impalas manufactured between January 15, 2013, and August 22, 2014. The total number of affected vehicles reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration comes to precisely 132,921 units, while The Detroit News reports a higher total of 205,000 units - the difference potentially coming down to the scope within the US and more broadly across North America. Dealers will contact owners to update the software in order to fix the problem.
Cadillac snags de Nysschen from Infiniti, names him new president
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Johan de Nysschen, the (now former) president of Infiniti, has officially jumped ship. The 54-year-old, who also spent time as the chief executive for Audi USA, has taken the position of president at Cadillac, following a two-year stint at the Nissan-owned luxury brand. In his new role, the 54-year-old will be responsible "for all aspects of Cadillac globally," according to a statement from General Motors.
"Johan brings to our company vast experience in the development and proper execution of luxury automotive brands," said GM President Dan Ammann, de Nysschen's new boss. "With over 20 years in this exact space, especially in the development of the Audi brand, his track record proves he is the perfect executive to lead Cadillac for the long term."
"I have for some time now been impressed by how the new General Motors has been transformed into a formidable force in the industry," de Nysschen said in a statement. "The combination of strong corporate leadership and exceptional engineering resources presents the perfect combination to restore Cadillac to its place among global premium brands."
Cadillac expects major growth in China
Thu, 25 Sep 2014The US sales issues facing Cadillac are not being paralleled in the People's Republic of China, as a new report from Automotive News indicates the US luxury maker should see its sales increase by as much as 40 percent.
The report cites Cadillac's own forecasts, which put its 2014 sales in the PRC at 70,000 units after cresting 45,000 vehicles at the end of August. Provided the sales pace holds true through 2015, the brand would hit its new 100,000-unit sales goal, AN reports.
"We're very optimistic about the luxury market, we believe that the luxury market by 2016 here will become the largest luxury market in the world, surpassing even the size of luxury in Europe," GM China President Matthew Tsien told AN. "With [Cadillac president] Johan [de Nysschen], we have somebody that really is an executive that understands luxury, but he also is very, very keen on understanding what do we need here in China for Cadillac to be successful."
