1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz,  Beautiful low mile example of the Last of the Full size (larger than Life Eldos.). Very desirable color combination of white, with white pillow interior and red accents. I purchased this car indirectly from the original owner, I am the second registered owner.  The car came from Maryland.  It has obviously been garaged and cared for all its life with only 22,000 + miles on it.   Due probably to lack of use just before it was sold to me it is obvious that someone went through the cooling system and fuel system completely and professionally reconditioning or replacing the radiator,  heater core, restored carburetor, sealed and cleaned fuel tank, radiator Hoses, fuel hoses, etc. Anything that should be considered before driving it trouble free to NJ from Maryland. Also has like new wide white radial tires. I have used the car for local car shows and ice cream stand runs very limited for the time I have owned it. I changed the oil and filters, added ZDP , I  serviced the transmission oil and filter. I purchased the car to take place of other collector cars I own because I wanted something stately and user friendly, and safe for my kid to be in.  Due to limited space and some changes in life I would like to try to Pass The Torch, and sell for what I have invested in it.  This is a true car of integrity, It runs like a Swiss watch, Rides like a living room couch. And it  glows like it is plugged into the wall. Climate control. power seats, brakes, windows, Trunk, Automatic headlight dimmer, split power front seats, Leather pillow interior, cruise control, 4 wheel disc brakes, 4 way stereo with working 8-track tape player. Factory cadillac CB radio. Rear window defog,  Etc.  Has original space saver spare and jack, trunk floor mat. original cadillac floor mats. original owners manual. The condition of the car speaks for itself as far as being an honest cared for low mile car in that the interior is like new, the chrome is beautiful, All the pot metal is perfect with no pitting. Even the insides of the ash trays and cigar lighters are immaculate. The condition of the underside is such that many of the factory markings and tags from the assembly line are in place, the exhaust system is clean and complete with catalytic converter, muffler and resonator.
    To answer a few things about the car that knowledgable caddy people are likely to ask,,,  The front and rear filler extensions on this car have been replaced with reproduction ABS fillers. The air ride hight sensor was not working so I removed it along with the original rear shocks and installed a set of Monroe air shocks with a manual air valve under the rear bumper. I bagged and tagged the old parts to be kept with the car.    Although all components are in place, the air conditioner   Does Not Work  , I never bothered to try servicing it because I do not use the car enough. It does appear to have the newer freon connectors as opposed to the old R-12. 
    Important notes,,,,,  My description is honest,  Yet please understand that the car is being sold as is usually the case with No Warranties, it is an old car that is to be accepted as-is. I would also appreciate a hand to hand transaction and have you or someone look the car over.  However,,  I will not take the car to some garage and have it poked and probed. Also I have no problem with over seas buyers, but I cannot in these days and times give out personal info or fill out forms for import reasons.  So if anyone over seas is interested in the car please know the ropes,, Have someone here who can see and purchase for you. This only the second time this car has been available for purchase since it was bought new. ( I have the original owners name), It will not be one of those forever Ebay listings, If the car shows no series interest I am going to put it on Jack stands in the garage and forget that I own it for ten years.  I reserve the right to remove the listing at any time. Payment of $400. deposit within 24 hours of sale  , remainder to be paid bank transfer, certified check, payment in person is preferred. buyer responsible for any and all shipping expenses .  Thanks for looking.

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names

Tue, Mar 17 2015

Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.

Cadillac executive appointments have global flair

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

Cadillac has rearranged its executive suite in order to take full advantage of its sales momentum. Don Butler is moving from his role as US VP of marketing to a newly created position with the title VP of global Cadillac strategic development. It will be his job to "drive the next phase of Cadillac growth internationally," planning strategy and developing new markets.
He will be replaced by Steve Majoros, an exec poached from Chevrolet's ad agency of record, Campbell Ewald. Majoros, who has the Chevrolet campaigns "Like a Rock" and "American Revolution" on his resume, will oversee Cadillac's US and international marketing.
Another component in the brand's renewed global focus includes conducting an ad agency review. Announced last month, Fallon Worldwide remains Cadillac's agency of record, but others, said to include Campbell Ewald, will be bidding to make the creative that helps Cadillac expand sales percentages by triple digits here and in China. Scroll down below for the official press release.

eBay Find of the Day: Ryan Gosling Eldorado from Lost River

Thu, Apr 9 2015

What's better than a car connected to Ryan Gosling? A car connected to Ryan Gosling and Matt Smith (the eleventh Doctor Who for our less nerdy readers). This 1966 Cadillac Eldorado convertible is driven by Smith in Lost River, Gosling's directorial debut. The movie was filmed in Detroit, with plenty of footage at the Packard factory, and the car is located in the nearby enclave of Hamtramck. Truth be told, this car has questionable star appeal and it needs a lot of work. Lost River currently holds a 20% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I've never seen an episode of any Doctor Who – a fact that amazes Seyth Miersma. And while I agree with Kroll Show character Wendell Shawn that Gosling is a "beautiful idiot," that's not enough for me to buy a car with an exhaust leak. The body on this Eldorado looks clean, but there is plenty of restoration work for the next owner. The listing states that most of the exterior and trim needs to be installed, and the front seats are in rough shape. Other details are vague – the carburetor "might need to be rebuilt" and the radiator and fan "may need to be replaced" but neither statements explain why. On the upside, the 340 horsepower (gross rating), 429 cubic inch V8 runs well. Reserve is not met at the current price of $4,000, but this could be a chance to get a classic '60's convertible for cheap.
