1974 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. 94,640 original miles!
Well I have never got as many looks in a vehicle before! A real show stopper. I am the second owner and vehicle has been stored the last 3 1/2 years. My current living situation does not allow for another vehicle so my project has to go. I paid $4500 for this car and put another $6800 into it. It still needs some love but when it is finished its going to be amazing. Only 7800 of these were built in 74. This one comes with the hard fiberglass parade boots as well! Drive great with a strong motor. Motor was rebuilt about 15K miles ago by the previous owner. 4500K miles ago the brakes,wheel barings, tye rods, electrical redone along with belt changes and a new radiator. At this time it was also painted this "speedboat" blue (kind of a blueish purple). Two years ago the starter and battery were replaced. This year I just put in a new convertible top motor. Had an appraisal done in Alberta Canada July 12 2007 that valued it at $15,000 (By Freelance Appraisal Group, Inc. Phillip Frank CPPA). I think that was being pretty kind as I have seen ones in better shape for less than that. Maybe Alberta has a huge demand for Eldy's of that vintage. I can make copies of the appraisal if need be and email you them if you request.

Here is what is not great:

-Transmission Fluid Leak from the Rear Pan. Just had it checked out ($145) and it would cost around $600 to fix this issue. I chose not to do so and just have kept an eye on the fluid.

-Convertible top frame needs some adjustment. I can get it up and down but it takes some effort and generally some help from a friend. I don't believe it would be a big issue for somebody that worked on convertible tops. But I sell beer for a living and i don't know what the heck I am doing!

-Seats are weathered a bit but have no tears or rips. Could probably just be re-dyed or seat covered.

-Door panels need to be re-upholstered.

-Weatherstripping could be re-done on windows and header

-Power windows all go up and down but sometimes need some help going up

-No antenna. Never had it when I bought it

-I had a CD player put in the glove box and I think the fuse blew on it but I can't get it out to check and I can't really be bothered. The unit is an Alpine

-The hood looks like it could use a new spring on the drivers side. Its not real noticeable but I want everything on the table.

-Air conditioning doesn't work. I guess it just needs a recharge but not certain on that one. Never really needed it with the top off.

-Cruise doesn't work either

This is pretty much what I know about the cars negatives. I would guess that it would take a few thousand dollars to make it look awesome. Or just someone who knew what they were doing!

Love this car. It is like driving a land yacht!

Any other questions please email me and I will try to answer them!

**Also has the original owners manual and shop manual for working on it!

Watch Brad Pitt's Chinese Cadillac XTS commercial

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Once upon a time, in a land not so far from this one, Brad Pitt was the very face anti-consumerism. You see, when he slipped into the role of the elitist-loathing, food-abusing, violence-embracing Tyler Durden from Fight Club, his visage was inextricably married to images of leveling credit card corporations with nothing more than a little human fat and some determination. Of course, that was before Pitt settled into old age with a passel of children at his feet. Now, it seems, he'll shill for something as long as it doesn't damage his reputation in America.
Need proof? Look no further than this Chinese ad for the Cadillac XTS. In it, Pitt contentedly wafts the big front-wheel drive barge around San Francisco against a mildly euphoric soundtrack. You can check out the scene for yourself below, just make sure you have your last meal squarely situated in your stomach before pressing play. We have to wonder if Pitt wakes up in the middle of the night with Chuck Palahniuk's oddly omniscient words echoing in his ears: "Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you."

Cadillac electric crossover will be revealed in April

Mon, Feb 17 2020

Cadillac will unveil a midsize electric crossover in April, brand President Steve Carlisle told dealers at the National Auto Dealer Association (NADA) Convention Monday. The new crossover will be Cadillac's first all-electric vehicle.  The New York Auto Show is April 10-19, with press days April 8-9. It's unclear whether the Cadillac reveal would happen there, or as a standalone event before or after. Per Automotive News, Carlisle told the assembled representatives that Cadillac has big plans for transitioning from an all internal-combustion lineup to one anchored in electric cars.  "We enter this decade as an internal combustion engine brand. We want to position ourselves to exit as a battery-electric brand, so we have to manage both at the same time," he said.  Early last year, Cadillac teased the new midsized crossover, telling us to expect it to come in two- and four-wheel-drive flavors and to be offered as a global model. The last we heard of GM's plans to electrify its luxury brand came in December, when Carlisle laid out an aggressive plan to switch over its entire lineup by 2030.  Just a week later, parent company GM canceled its plans to appear at CES earlier this year because the model it planned to showcase was not ready to be unveiled due to delays introduced by the UAW strike last fall.  Not even two weeks after the tech show concluded, GM introduced of the self-driving Cruise Origin at a private event in San Francisco, prompting speculation that it was the original subject of GM's CES plans. Whether the Cruise Origin or Cadillac's new mystery midsizer was to bow at CES, there's only one left to reveal now.  Cadillac has been keeping news of its future EV offerings largely on the back burner. The brand has been busy effectively re-launching its entire lineup — an effort that will culminate with the rollout of the new Escalade SUV later this year.  In Carlisle's NADA remarks, he indicated that Cadillac dealers will learn more about the company's plans at a meeting in September.    Green Cadillac GM Crossover Concept Cars Electric Future Vehicles Luxury
