1954 Cadillac Eldorado with Wind Wings

I am now listing the second 1954 Eldorado from the barn estate that I recently purchased. I was going to keep this car to restore it but it must go. I believe that this is an excellent car to restore. It has the extremely rare wind wings, which are flat pieces of glass on either side of the windshield. Most people that are seeking this car are after this option because it seems to be only on early production cars for that model year. This car was originally white and the data tag shows it as an early production car. This car has a pristine fiberglass hard boot, which was only available on Eldorados. This was number 111 of the 2150 Eldorados produced in 1954.
The family that I purchased this car from told me that the car was purchased in San Antonio, Texas. We have receipts here from as early as 1963, and registrations from as early as 1960. This car along with the other 1954 Eldorado was driven into the barn around 1985, and that is the last sticker on the license plate. I have extensive documentation and owner history on this car. 
Here are some bullet points about the car:
  • Correct black steel floor mats for a 1954 Eldorado.
  • Original tag on the cowl and door jamb.
  • Both headlight bezels included.
  • Motor is locked up from long storage.
  • All Eldorado specific trim included, except for the gold crest on the top of both doors.
  • Four Sabre wheels with center caps and coronas included.
  • The lower rear rockers behind the back wheels are rusty.
  • Trunk is solid.
  • There is a rust hole by where the left rear passenger's feet would be.
  • Very solid with no rust under the convertible back seat.
  • Convertible is in usable condition for a driver.
  • Correct wiper arms.
  • Extra rear center section for the bumper will be included as the one on the car is dented in the center.
  • Excellent rear bumper ends with no rot or damage.
  • Jack and spare tire included.
  • Excellent top frame.
  • There is some damage on the fenders as well as the driver's door that can be fixed.
  • Nice front windshield.
  • Excellent chassis.
  • The original owner or dealer added air condition.
  • Immaculate sun visors, which are key to a 1954 Eldorado.
  • It is truly worthy of a restoration, but will require effort. Some have sold for over $100k at auction.
Worldwide shipping can be arranged. We have a Cadillac salvage yard here specializing in 1950-1964. If there are any parts would like included with the car, please call me to discuss. We can also store this car for you until Hershey or Carlisle. Please inquire.

OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.

Sunday Drive: An automotive flavor for every taste

Sun, Feb 25 2018

Last week was flush with interesting new vehicle debuts, led by the new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. This crossover is entering straight into the heart of one of the world's most competitive automotive segments, and it's doing so with a fresh sense of style and a brace of new technologies. Our readers are clearly intrigued – the Santa Fe was the biggest news story of the last week on these online pages. It's fitting that a crossover generated a lot more interest than a traditional wagon, though we don't really have to be happy about it. Still, the completely new, fully redesigned Volvo V60 is worth taking another look at. First of all, it's pretty, in a traditionally Scandinavian way. Second, it's quick, with a 0-60 time of as little as 4.8 seconds. And finally, it's practical, with all kinds of room for cargo without the dynamic penalties of an unnecessary lift kit. Moving on from new vehicle debuts, we took another long look at the Honda Ridgeline. It's definitely a non-conformist pickup truck, based not on a body-on-frame platform but on a more carlike unibody design. That means it can't tow as much as some other trucks, but it also means the Ridgeline drives better than any of its more truckish competitors. It's the Swiss army knife of pickup trucks. Rounding out our coverage from last week are three sets of spy photos, each showing the interior of a hotly anticipated new model. One is a truck, one is a crossover, and the last is a sportscar. All of them are worth another look. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the most important news in the automotive world. 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe unveiled 2019 Volvo V60 | Sleek, swift new twist on the Swedish wagon 2018 Honda Ridgeline | Pocketknife pickup is up for anything 2019 GMC Sierra interior looks just like the Silverado's 2019 Cadillac XT4 interior has actual buttons, no more touch-sensitive panel 2020 Porsche 911 992 spy shots show interior and manual transmission Cadillac GMC Honda Hyundai Porsche Volvo Truck Crossover Wagon Luxury Performance Sedan hyundai santa fe

Such Sweet Sorrow: Cadillac's CTS-V gets an Irish wake

Wed, Nov 26 2014

As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. The honkin', stonkin' second-generation CTS-V, powered by Cadillac's brawny supercharged 6.2-liter V8 has been a very good thing. And now that the 500 final coupes – the only CTS-Vs designated 2015 models – have been built (just five remain unsold as of this writing), it is indeed a good thing that's come to an end. But Cadillac is not letting 2009–2015 CTS-V go gently into that good night, even as its replacement is poised to debut in just in just two months at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Instead, Cadillac invited us to Austin's Circuit of the Americas racetrack for what it called an "Irish wake" for the model that has proven to be one of the quickest and most charismatic models in General Motors' history. If you don't know what an Irish wake is, if you envision storytelling, songs, debauchery and more than a little liquor, you'll be in the ballpark. In this case, though, adrenaline substituted in for the booze, with squealing tires and shrieking V8s providing the singing. The debauchery took the form of an all-you-can-drive lapping of COTA in all three bodystyles – coupe, sedan and wagon – and the stories were told by the grins plastered on our faces all day. First and foremost, we'll miss the CTS-V's perfect balance of luxury and sportiness. Even after six years with no major changes, the CTS-V is surprisingly spry. Certainly, you never forget that it's a heavy thing, weighing in anywhere between 4217 pounds for the manual-equipped coupe to 4424 for an automatic wagon, but with 0-60 times of about four seconds and the ability to hit about 150 mph on COTA's back straight, the Vs remain an absolute hoot on the track. Sure, some of its details – the blocky front fascia shapes and the spoiler on the sedan and coupe models, for example – look a bit dated, but the overall design still looks sufficiently badass. The interior design has worn pretty well, too, and however Cadillac may feel about center stack buttons being so last decade, we favor them over the capacitive-touch madness of today's CUE system. We're not going to bother doing another full review of the car here, but suffice it to say, there is plenty we will miss. First and foremost, will be the CTS-V's perfect balance of luxury and sportiness. Rumor has it that Cadillac will offer the 6.2-liter LT4 V8 in the next generation (we predict about 600 hp), but we hear that the new car will skew more toward luxury than balls-out performance.
