1971 CADILLAC ELDORADO CONVERTIBLE-1971 was the first year of production for this body style-known as "The Last of the Great American Convertibles". This car is a stunning 2 owner car that was well maintained while the owner was driving it but he died in 1989 and the car was put in dry storage and wasn't driven between 1989 until 2012 (when we bought it). We've spent over $3,000.00 since we bought it replacing items that it needed to make it safe, reliable and road-worthy. It's former owner was very active in our local American Legion so it was used for almost 20 years as a parade car for Flag Day, Veteran's Day and the 4th of July in our hometown-it even has flag holders installed on the right side of each headlight to hold parade flags and a VERY loud PA speaker that's hidden in the grill of the car (Photo #24 shows the Legionnaires getting ready for a parade in 1983). It also has some type of music device with a small keyboard controller that lets you choose from 88 different computerized songs along a parade route. We've installed new tires ($879.00), a complete braking system w/ new rotors,calipers, master cylinder,vacuum booster, brake proportioning valve, and some brake lines ($1,376.00), had it tuned up ($341.00) and the fuel pump was replaced ($247.32). We also had it professionally detailed/cleaned (they cleaned the top and used a cleaner/sealer on it) ($211.00), recently had a new power antenna installed at the stereo place when we couldn't figure out how to turn off the CB radio ($67.00) it was removed but it's all in the trunk if you plan on going cross-country with it.) It currently has an AM/FM Cassette player with what we believe to be the original speakers. It has a strong-running 8.2 L/500 CID engine (365 HP/535 LB-FT) and it shifts well when purring around the city or under full acceleration. It had an oil leak so they replaced the oil pan gasket and they also replaced the transmission pan gasket at that time ($344.00). The car was completely repainted in the original Cambridge Red Metallic in fall of 1987 after a deer incident and it also had it's original vinyl top replaced at that time. The original engine was rebuilt at 138,000 miles by our local Cadillac dealer and it currently shows 56,162 miles (which is actually 156,162 miles in this case) so if my math is correct, it has 18,162 miles on the rebuilt engine. The A/C doesn't blow very cold and the top can be stubborn returning to the "UP" position sometimes (We've had to "assist" it once or twice last year and we don't know where to take it to fix that in this area) We've had the top in the "down" position with the boot installed for well over a year now and the mechanic told us to cycle it up and down frequently to work that out. There are also 3 missing/broken push-down snaps on the boot cover. The top is clean, sealed, and in very good condition but we were told it needs new weatherstripping between the front (2) windows and windshield. There's some plastic worn off the steering wheel and it also has a crack in the vinyl door panel on the driver's side armrest (see picture). The rest of the interior has the amount of wear you'd expect on a 42 year-old original interior but no tears/rips in the leather but shows some wear on the center fold-down armrest. It has no rust on the body but we were told it's had new panels installed under both front seats at some time. So as you can see, it's a very nice car with a few correctable flaws but remember, it's 42 years old and we've driven this car EVERWHERE since we bought it-it's very reliable. You'll love the attention it gets-it's truly a head-turner wherever we take it and it always gets alot of compliments. We've also had it in 4 car shows, 2 PARADES!, and taken it on numerous family trips all over the state without a single problem. Sadly enough, with a daughter starting college next month and another daughter getting married at the end of October, we've being forced by our terrible kids to send our beautiful convertible to a new home. If you have any questions, feel free to call us at (920) 585-6633. Good Luck and Happy Bidding!

Autoblog Podcast #318:
2020 Cadillac CT4-V, CT5-V revealed, less powerful than predecessors
Fri, May 31 2019Expectations have reached stratospheric heights for the 2020 Cadillac CT4-V and 2020 Cadillac CT5-V, and for good reason: Their ATS-V and CTS-V predecessors were potent sports sedans with gobs of power and handling and braking to match. Now the new sedans have been revealed, and they're not what we expected. They each lose two cylinders compared with the other vehicles, and on paper, they don't look as capable. But we do have hope that these won't be the end-all, be-all performance Cadillacs. First, let's look at the cars. The CT4-V will be the base of the V brand, and it's our first look at the small luxury sedan. It has a roofline and window treatment more like past Cadillacs, eschewing the C-pillar garnish of the CT5. It also naturally gets dark trim and headlights, a unique spoiler and quad tailpipes to distinguish it as a V. Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder that is based on the engine in the new Chevy Silverado. It makes 320 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, a far cry from the ATS-V's 464 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. Cadillac CT4-V View 12 Photos Power goes through a 10-speed automatic transmission only. Both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are available. It gets a mechanical limited-slip differential whereas the ATS-V had an electronically controlled limited-slip differential a la Camaro ZL1. The brakes have four-piston calipers at each corner versus six-piston front units and four-piston rear units on the ATS-V, and the rotors are smaller. Magnetic Ride Control remains standard on the rear-drive version, but the all-wheel-driver version sticks with conventional shocks. The new CT4-V is about 200 pounds lighter than the ATS-V, though, and it has 50/50 weight distribution. Additionally, both the CT4-V and the CT5-V have Super Cruise available as an option. Moving on to the CT5-V, it looks like a regular CT5 but with dark trim and lights, quad tailpipes and a unique rear diffuser. Instead of the CTS-V's 640-horsepower supercharged V8, the CT5-V uses a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 making 355 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. Changes made to the 3.0 for the CT5-V include a new intake system and new exhaust, and it revs higher too. Like the CT4-V, it comes with a 10-speed automatic and either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. It does get the electronically controlled limited-slip differential.
De Nysschen says Cadillac will be ready for a $250,000 model in 15 years
Fri, Nov 21 2014Cadillac president Johan de Nysschen has some very, very lofty goals for the American luxury car manufacturer. That's according to a new report from Reuters, where the former Audi and Infiniti exec says that Cadillac is only 15 years away from selling a $250,000 car. "It is too early today for a $250,000 Cadillac," de Nysschen told Reuters at the LA Auto Show. "Fifteen years from now, it won't be." Now, provided de Nysschen doesn't envision a future of hyper-inflation, where an ATS rings up at $200K and a CTS at $225,000, the idea that Cadillac could sell a car worth a quarter-of-a-million dollars in just 15 short years is the very definition of ambitious. That's doubly true when you realize that, at present, Cadillac's most expensive vehicle is the Escalade ESV Platinum, which costs no more than $97,940, while de Nysschen said the upcoming CT6 sedan will be priced "in the 70s." What do you think? Could a Cadillac that costs well over twice as much as the brand's most expensive current vehicle be a reality in the distant future? Or is de Nysschen aiming too high too soon? Let us know what you think in Comments. News Source: ReutersImage Credit: Jae C. Hong / AP Cadillac Luxury cadillac ct6
