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!

Economy-car buyers increasingly get the best deal on technology

Mon, Apr 16 2018

One of the great things about technology is – with the exception of Apple products – consumers get more for their money every year. For example, the first 1GB USB drive I bought in 2005 cost me $30. Today you can get 10 for that price, delivered to your door thanks to Amazon. The same goes for car tech. Features such as navigation and Bluetooth started out on high-end vehicles before trickling down to entry-level cars. Same with driver assist features ranging from rearview cameras to forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking — so now it's not only rich people who are protected in car crashes. I've found that this democratization of tech has reached a point where amenities on low-cost cars can be as good — and sometimes even better — than those on vehicles costing tens of thousands of dollars more. While attending a media event for the launch of the all-new 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, I was impressed by the car's cool styling and go-kart performance. Equally noteworthy is the amount of standard tech on the low-cost hot hatch. (Pricing will be announced later this month, but expect it to come in a bit higher that the current Corolla iM's roughly $19,000 base.) Even the base SE CVT trim of the 2019 Corolla Hatchback comes with an 8-inch touchscreen and Toyota's Entune 3.0 infotainment system. Among other features, Entune 3.0 provides Wi-Fi capability, Amazon Alexa connectivity, the Entune App Suite for integration of smartphone apps such as Pandora and Yelp and, for the first time in a Toyota, Apple CarPlay (but no Android Auto). The 2019 Corolla Hatchback is also the first North American vehicle to get the second-generation Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) suite of driver assists that's also standard on the base model. TSS 2.0 includes Toyota's Pre-Collision System (forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking) with new daytime and low-light pedestrian detection and daytime cyclist detection features, lane keeping and lane departure alert with steering assist, auto high beams, adaptive cruise control, and road sign detection. While the 2019 Corolla Hatchback sets a new benchmark in standard tech on a budget-mobile, competing cars aren't far behind. The 2018 Honda Fit LX, for example, includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and assist and adaptive cruise, while the automaker's Lane Departure Mitigation and Lane Watch camera system is added the two top trims.

Ford F-150 Raptor, Nissan Pathfinder and Frontier, and Cadillac Blackwings | Autoblog Podcast #663

Fri, Feb 5 2021

In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale and Associate Editor Byron Hurd. It's a packed show this week, and the three dive straight into the week's truck loads of news, starting with the unveiling of the Cadillac CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing variants, followed by the 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor and the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder and Frontier. Next, they move on to what they've been driving. For Byron, that means more trucks. Lots and lots of trucks. Joel recently spent some time behind the wheel of a Bronco Sport, and the three discuss its merits as both an off- and on-road crossover. From this, they segue into a "Spend My Money" featuring Senior Producer Chris McGraw's neighbor, who acquired an older Forest Service Bronco and wants tips on what to do with it.  Autoblog Podcast #663 Get The Podcast iTunes – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, CT4-V Blackwing bring big performance back to the brand 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor revealed, packing EcoBoost power, coil suspension and factory 37s 2022 Nissan Frontier enters the modern midsize truck world with big redesign 2022 Nissan Pathfinder debuts with fresh new duds, no more CVT What we're driving: 2021 Ford F-150 2021 Nissan Titan Pro-4X 2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Spend My Money Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on iTunes Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

2024 Porsche Panamera; Rivian's surprise; Cadillac electrifies V | Autoblog Podcast #823

Fri, Mar 15 2024

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd. They start off discussing a couple of vehicles they've both driven — the 2024 Ford Maverick Tremor and the 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge 2WD. From there, they pivot to Byron's first drive of the 2024 Porsche Panamera, and then from there it's on to more electrified luxury in the form of the new Cadillac Lyriq. After that, it's on to news. Rivian made a big splash last week. Not to be upstaged, Cadillac decided to get in on the action by teasing an electric V model, the Opulent Velocity Concept. After that, it's time for a future classic; this week, it's the Dodge Magnum. They end the episode by spending listener Isaiah's money on some used stick-shift transportation.  Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.
