Up for auction is my 1975 Cadillac El Dorado convertible. In my opinion, it is a very nice driver condition car that could use some minor tlc. 97K original miles running and driving car. It has all 4 new shocks on it and new sway bar bushings in the front. The interior is in excellent condition. No cracks in the dash. door pads are very nice. Original leather seats showing minimal wear and power seat that works. Carpet has some sun fading to it. The power windows all work and so does the power locks. It has cruise control, tilt and telescoping wheel. I have not tested the cruise though. The exterior of the car has been repainted at some point, back to it's original color as far as i can tell. The bumper extensions have been replaced at a later date and their paint does not match the car too well. The car has a nice shine to it still and looks great. It does have minor chips and scratches in a few places, consistent with it's age. There are also a couple small dings in it, but by no means a beat up old car. It gets lots of looks and attention. The top works but is showing it's age. I believe it to be original also. It is shrinking up on the sides some but not torn up and still does it's job. But you should plan to replace it at some point or store it indoors as i do. Under the hood looks very original but definitely could use detail work. The valve cover gaskets were leaking and new one's were put on but the covers could have been repainted in my opinion. The radiator has been replaced with a new aluminum one. It does have some things that need repaired. The power antenna does not work but it is in the up position and the radio picks up stations fine. The radio does not appear original as it is a cassette player. It does have the original cadillac knobs and the dash was not cut to install it. The a/c is complete and comes on but does not get cold, recharge is needed i'm guessing. The driver's side top latch handle is broken. There is enough left of it that it still latches with no problem, just want you to be aware of all i know. The tires should be replaced. They hold air fine but do show some dry rot and the right front does not match the other 3. It has a jack, but no spare. The horn does not work. There is a minor exhaust leak up front. Once again guessing, but it sounds like a doughnut on driver's side. The car still runs very quiet. Once again, i am trying to list all i know so there are no surprises. There is 1 spot of rust, at the bottom of the right front fender a couple inches long. i did clean out allot of leaves from inside that door jam and i believe that was the issue. It is shown in the pics. That is it for rust. The underside is very clean. All floors, trunk and quarters are very clean too. The chrome shines nice and it has all original hubcaps. I also have the owners manual with it. This is a nice clean car for it's age. I keep it indoors but i need the space. That is why i am listing it for sale. It would be a shame to have it sit outside, it's too nice for that.  Any questions i can be reached at 302-531-5185  Zero feedback bidders must call me first or bid will be deleted. Listed locally and reserve the right to end auction if sold. Car needs to be paid for in 3 days, but can remain here if needed until you are able to pick it up. For a reasonable amount of time, remember i am only selling it because i cannot keep it stored inside much longer. 100% good feedback and i work to keep that. I list all i know and remember about the car, nothing to hide.

Online Find Of The Day: 2008 Cadillac XLR picks up where Excalibur left off

Thu, 23 May 2013

We try very, very hard to keep snark away from creations like the one you see here. After all, someone poured plenty of enthusiasm, time and money into turning a 2008 Cadillac XLR into a modern interpretation of the new-old cars typically done by cottage builders like Excalibur and Clénet. Even so, it's hard not to wince when you set an eye on this machine. With its wheelbase stretched to accommodate the extra bodywork, goofy sidewalls and upkicked nose (examine it in profile, it looks slightly bent in the middle), this "neoclassic" takes whatever was loveable about the Cadillac underneath and buries it in a tacky grave.
Miraculously, the engine bay has been left unmolested, which means the retractable hardtop convertible still features a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine good for 320 horsepower. If only that were enough to outrun its shame. If, for some reason, you feel like taking this thing home, Harry Kaufmann Motorcars of Milwaukee says it can be yours for a paltry $74,998. We wish were joking. Check it out here.

2020 Cadillac CT5 finally appears, hopes you think it's a Charger

Thu, Jan 11 2018

This is our first look at what we expect to be the 2 020 Cadillac CT5 sport sedan, a one-to-rule-them-all replacement for the ATS, CTS and XTS. The name follows the scheme set by the CT6 and XT5. The first thing that jumps out about the CT5 is the big hood scoop. We sincerely doubt that scoop will make it to production, and when combined with the scalloped shapes on the car's flanks, we and the spy photographer feel they're probably there to dupe people into thinking it's a weird Dodge Charger. The disguise isn't working, but the scoop surprisingly looks pretty good. Maybe Cadillac should consider putting one on an inevitable V model. Moving past the fake bodywork, we can see that this CT5 takes inspiration from the Cadillac Escala concept. It has the long, almost fastback cabin and extra rear quarter window of that concept. The headlights are slim horizontal units, too, though they still sweep back a bit to bridge the gap between current models and the Escala. We also see that there's a decent amount of distance between the front axle and the base of the A-pillar, so we suspect that the sedan will retain rear-drive and optional all-wheel-drive drivetrains. We don't have any other cars in the image to compare it to, but considering the cars the Cadillac CT5 will replace, we expect it's roughly the size of a CTS, maybe even a touch smaller to satisfy those who want a 3 Series/A4/C-Class size luxury sedan. It will also probably use one or more of the existing powertrains in the Cadillac sedan fleet, which include a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder, naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6, and a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6. We'll also probably see the production model sometime in 2019 since that's when the CTS and ATS will go to the big garage in the sky.
