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!

2019 Cadillac XT4 interior has actual buttons, no more touch-sensitive panel

Thu, Feb 22 2018

Cadillac makes some highly stylish cars that are excellent to drive. In the realm of infotainment, there was room for improvement. The CUE infotainment system is infamous for being complex and annoying. One particular sore point was the touch-sensitive panels used for basic functions and their unrefined, "haptic feedback" clunk. Thankfully, spy photos show that Cadillac is changing tack both with buttons and infotainment controls in general. As seen above, there don't appear to be any capacitive buttons in sight. Instead, the XT4 has the "piano-key" buttons that are in vogue now. The most prominent are metal-finish buttons that control climate settings indicated by corresponding symbols above the buttons. Below that are additional buttons for seat controls and at least one safety feature, the parking warning. These should be vastly easier to manipulate than tapping and hoping you've engaged the correct function. This doesn't mean there won't be any touch-sensitive controls available, but they've at least been minimized. Other physical controls we spotted are down on the center console near the shifter. It looks as though the CT6's odd touchpad won't be making an appearance in the XT4 as there seems to be a more conventional knob instead. If it's indeed for the infotainment system, it would be a redundant controller as the upper screen's home button and fingerprints would indicate it's very much touch-operated. Like other Cadillacs and GM products in general, it's safe to say that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will be available and possibly standard. There are a couple other interesting additions besides the physical controls. There's a Near Field Communications (NFC) logo embossed in the dashboard, indicating the car will support NFC pairing of phones. The XT4 also dispatches the more traditional mechanical shifter for a more modern monostable joystick like the found in some Buicks, but with a different shape. We're currently expecting the XT4 to be revealed late in 2018. It will be based on the Chevy Malibu platform, it'll probably stick with turbocharged four-cylinder power, and offer front- and all-wheel drive.

They follow that up with a discussion of the Mercedes-Benz AMG G 63, which Byron also drove on a track, albeit one of a very different sort. After that, some news. Greg and Byron run down the list of returning enthusiasts nameplates, including Integra, Z and Countach, and cap off by talking about what a third-generation Acura NSX might look like.  Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.
