For sale here is a very nice 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible.  This Innsbruck Blue Eldo runs and drives great.  The top is in excellent shape and works well and fast.  The top has a real glass rear window with rear glass defrost.  The 500 CI V-8 runs well and the car has front-wheel drive.  The trans shifts smmothly.  This one is a real pleasure to drive as onlookers wave and gawk. 

The body is in good shape and the Innsbuuck Blue paint is nice but not perfect.  There are a few minor scratches.  The undercarriage is solid as is the trunk. The trunk has new weatherstrip and a new trunk kit.  No spare tire or jack.  The bumpers are presentable and shine well.  All of the glass is good.  The radials are very roadworthy with correct Cadillac hubcaps.  The doors shut well and the power latch on the trunk works well. 

The interior is really quite nice.  The leather seats are still decent and comfy.  The door panels have been redone and carpet replaced in the correct colors by a professional shop only 2 months ago.  The dash is near perfect and the guages are clear.  The steering wheel is very nice. 

This '76 Eldo is equipped with factory A/C but needs a compressor.  The power antenna does not work.  The aftermarket radio/cassette does work.  Has cruise but not working.  Clock not working. 

The exterior stainless and brightwork shines nicely and both exterior remote mirrors are working well.  The headlights work, taillights, turn signals and dash arrows, horn, courtesy lights, etc.  As far as we know all guages are working (temp, oil, odometer, trip, speedo,amp,etc.).

This is a very nice and ready-to-go, driveable and enjoyable 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible.  The top works great and the car runs well.  This is truly an impressive mass of metal going down the road.  Please feel free to ask any questions.  Sold As-is.  Personal inspection is encouraged

Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.

GM recalling 524k vehicles over hood latches and toe link nuts

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

Just hours after confirming to Autoblog its intention to recall 97,540 vehicles in the US (117,651 in North America) for a possible manufacturing defect in the chassis control module of several models, General Motors is issuing two more campaigns that affect another 379,401 units in the US (524,384 in North America).
One campaign covers 290,107 US examples of the 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX and the 2011-2012 Saab 9-4X because the "rear toe link adjuster lock nuts" may be improperly torqued. If not up to spec, the toe adjuster link could separate and allow the wheel to shift while driving, making the handling unstable. GM says that it knows of three crashes and two injuries as a result of this problem. Dealers are inspecting the nuts and installing a new link assembly, if necessary. Autoblog first reported about this potential issue when it showed up on a list of recalls from Transport Canada.
The second recall is for 89,294 examples of the 2013-2015 Chevrolet Spark in the US manufactured from January 17, 2012, through July 29, 2014. According to GM, "corrosion can cause the secondary hood latch striker to stick in the open position." If this happens, and the primary latch also isn't engaged for some reason, the hood could fly open while driving. About 13,000 of these affected Sparks are at dealers and are being held until repaired. The fix requires replacing the hood striker. GM isn't aware of crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by this problem.

2014 Cadillac ELR leases for $699 a month

Mon, Jan 20 2014

Most Autoblog readers thought the $75,000 price tag on the 2014 Cadillac ELR was too high. If you can't swing the MSRP all in one go, how does a lease price of $699 a month sound? That's the amount that Cadillac is offering on the official ELR website, with some caveats, of course. First off, it appears that this lease price is for just for "current owners and lessees of all 1999 or newer GM vehicles." They will also have to pony up $4,999 at signing (all others will need $5,999). Second, the $699-a-month price is for a 39-month lease. Then, of course, "tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment [are] extra" and "each dealer sets own price." Also, it appears that this lease deal is only good until the end of January. Cadillac started shipping the ELR plug-in hybrid coupe to dealers last month. There are two things to note in the fine print. The most surprising is that the payments are based on "a 2014 Cadillac ELR with an MSRP of $76,000." That's $1,000 more than the official MSRP announced in October. Then we get to the real kicker: The lease limits you to a mere 32,500 miles, which is just 833.3 miles a month. Well, 'limit' isn't the exact word, since you can certainly drive more. All you have to do is pay 25 cents per mile for each mile over 32,500. Drive the national average of 13,476 miles in a year? That comes to 43,797 miles over 39 months, which is 11,297 extra miles and an extra $2,824.25.
