You are about to see one of the nicest, original unrestored Eldorado Convertibles in existence.

 

The car had one owner a Mrs. Susan Skankus who received this Eldorado as a gift for a late birthday present on July 4, 1972. Mrs. Stankus babied this car and it has never seen rain or snow. She drove it a total of 79,000 miles by 1979. At that point the car was put away in the garage and only received use a few times a summer until a few years ago when she unfortunately passed away in 2009. Her husband sent the car to Cadillac at that point for a full service ($5,000) and the car was once again ready to go. The car has always been started regurally and never sat for any extended period of time. The car is completely and utterly rust free and in impeccable condition with not one door ding or thin spot in the paint. For the paint being as old as it is, its almost blemish free! The three imperfections in the paint are on each side where the parade boot would be installed and are too minute to photograph. The third blemish is a touched up 2" long minute scratch on the bottom of the passenger side quarter panel that would not photograph. The chrome is as close to being flawless as it can possibly be for 1972 vintage, with no dents, dings or pits.

 

The interior is impeccable and completely original. The seats look like they have never been sat in. The steering wheel looks like it was never touched. The carpet is stain free. The only blemish you can find on the interior is a tiny crack in the drivers side door panel too shallow to see and about 1" in length. All lights, gauges, signals, horn, air conditioning work as it should. The car drives perfectly flat as a pancake and starts on the first flick of the original set of keys.

 

The top is power and the top is brand new, the original top has some minor shrinkage issues and a top of the line OEM replacement was used with a glass rear window.

 

 

In short, this car has no excuses and makes no excuses. It does not smoke or use oil, the trans shifts great and the car drives like it is on a cloud.

 

I encourage local inspection and it should be known that the car is for sale locally and this auction can and will be ended in the event of a local sale.

 

The first person that sees and drives this car will buy it...it's that nice that words, pictures or video could not express.

 

My cell # is 312 622 7533 and you can call me at any reasonable hour to discuss a purchase on this car. I am not a dealer, but a enthusiast and collector.

 

Note the picture from when the car was new. There also is a long in depth video below that might not be viewable from your mobile device. Please check it out from a home based PC.

No, Eminem is not giving away the Cadillac Ciel concept, Facebookers

Thu, Dec 4 2014

Damn it, Facebook people, stop being so gullible. When you see something on social media that requires you to share or like a status or page in exchange for a chance at winning something, it's almost always a hoax. This goes for iPads, or Bill Gates giving away cash or, yes, an Eminem fan page giving away a Cadillac Ciel. Now, normally we'd simply ignore this utter hogwash, but it's getting some traction on Facebook and, annoyingly, is beginning to clog our newsfeed. Ignoring the fact that the Ciel is a pure concept car that likely can't even be registered for regular use, there are more than a few things that should give this nonsense away as a hoax. First, Eminem has only ever gotten in bed with one automaker – Chrysler. It seems unlikely that he'd defect simply to give away a car on Facebook. Secondly, the page that is putting on the giveaway isn't even a verified page – Eminem's real Facebook fan page has 97 million likes, this one has 622,000. Third, a quick look at the caption for the Ciel's photo, shown above, reveals the sort of grammatical mess that no serious contest would allow. Take a look (sic implied throughout): "Only 24 Days Until Christmas, Can you Imagine yourself driving this Car? I'm about to make that happen, Its Official, I Will be giving away this 2014 Cadillac Ciel to one random lucky fan, all you gotta do is follow these three easy steps, Step 1) Share this photo, Step 2) Like my page, Slim Shady Step 3) Like this photo, Winner Will be picked On December 5th 4 Days Away, Good luck to Everyone!!" We reached out to Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell just for fun. Apparently, this photo and schtick pops up every few months with virtually the same text, only to vanish at the end of the "giveaway." You're as shocked as we are, right? So, once again folks, just because it's on the Internet doesn't mean it's true. If your friends, family and acquaintances are blowing up your Facebook feed and social network channels with this nonsense, be sure to set 'em straight with a link to this story – we're sure the real Slim Shady will appreciate it.

GM puts e-commerce shopping in car dashboards

Tue, Dec 5 2017

DETROIT — General Motors on Tuesday said it will equip newer cars with in-dash e-commerce technology, betting it can profit as drivers order food, find fuel or reserve hotel rooms by tapping icons on the dashboard screen, instead of using smartphones while driving. GM's Marketplace technology, developed with IBM, will be uploaded automatically to about 1.9 million model-year 2017 and later vehicles starting immediately, with about 4 million vehicles across the Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands equipped with the capability in the United States by the end of 2018, GM said. GM will get an undisclosed amount of revenue from merchants featured on its in-dash Marketplace, Santiago Chamorro, GM vice president for global connected customer experience, said during a briefing for reporters. Customers will not be charged for using the service or the data transmitted to and from the car while making transactions, he said. "This platform is financed by the merchants," Chamorro said. GM will get paid for placing a merchant's application on its screens, and "there's some level of revenue sharing" based on each transaction, he said. It is too soon to say how much revenue GM could realize from the Marketplace system, he said. The GM Marketplace will compete for customer clicks and revenue with hand-held smartphones, which offer a far richer array of applications than the GM system will at the outset. Amazon.com is partnering with other automakers, including Ford, to offer in-car e-commerce capability through Amazon's Alexa personal assistant system. For example, GM will launch Marketplace with just Shell and Exxon Mobil icons in the fuel category. The only restaurant available for in-car table reservations at launch is the chain TGI Fridays, GM said. In addition, there will be apps for parking, and ordering ahead at coffee shops and restaurants such as Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts and Applebee's. "We will be adding more vendors," with some coming in the first quarter of 2018, Chamorro said. In addition, he said GM plans to expand integration into its vehicles of music, news and other information services. GM also hopes to use its in-car Marketplace connections to expand purchases of products and services, such as additional access to in-car wifi, from its own replacement parts business and dealer network. Customers can "expect to see more service promotions coming through the platform," Chamorro said. Reporting by Joe WhiteRelated Video:

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
