One of the purposes of studying history is to find iconic
symbols that represent a certain period of that moment in history. We all know that after World War II,
Americans were very proud and decided to flaunt it in their automotive
design. As the years went on the
cars got bigger, more elaborate, with more accessories and special colors. The 1978 Cadillac was probably the last
in the series of post-war design that represent that momentum.
Keep in mind that during the late 1970s, incomes were high,
taxes were low and the automotive manufacturers could afford to put in the
excesses that were desirable and expected and that the wealthy could afford. Just look to the interior of this car
for sale, there is no way it could be more posh and elaborate. It is made with the finest leather with
the goal of having the most comfortable car seats ever put into a car. Even though these cars were expensive for
a traveling salesman, in the 1970s many used these cars because they could
drive for 12-14 hours a day and still be somewhat refreshed after driving all
day. There is no question that the
1978 Cadillac Eldorado is one of the most comfortable cross country American
cars ever produced.
The car that you see before you is a car that has always
been kept by the most fastidious owners and the car has absolutely minimum
wear. While the pictures make the
car look like it is brand new, of course there is some slight wear here and
there but as you can see it is not even picked up by the camera.
So this is the car that made the two-tone brown color scheme
the trend for the next five or six years on all cars from Detroit and also is
the color scheme of the car used for the 1978 Cadillac Eldorado sales brochure.
Everybody loved the subtleties’ of
the colors and this is by far the favorite color scheme for the 1978 Cadillac
Eldorado.
Most car collectors love a big, long hood and certainly the
1978 Cadillac Eldorado used that formula for its great success. You can drive this car over the
roughest road and think you are on a newly resurfaced highway, that is how
smooth these huge cars roll out the bumps.
We know that Cadillac Eldorados of all years are especially
popular in Australia, New Zealand and Sweden and we do require that foreign
bidders get permission a head of time to bid but we do work with all out of
country buyers to make a smooth transaction.
Today many of the options on this car were just coming out
on the luxury cars of the 1970s; such as electronic level control,
thermostatically controlled air conditioning, rear window defoggers, four wheel
disc brakes and Twilight Sentinel along with a security alarm system, tilt
telescopic steering wheel, sunroof and CB radio just to name a few.
This car also includes new tires, new battery, owner and
shop manual along with a CB manual (during the 1970s having a CB radio was as
close to a cell phone as you could get).
To top all this off the original car has only 33,425
original miles.

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites
Sun, Jan 7 2024Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.
Cadillac V-Series Academy comes to Las Vegas [w/video]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013General Motors has added another high-speed education course to the curriculum at the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. The desert track already hosts the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School with Chevrolet Corvettes, including the ZR1, and they've just added the Cadillac V-Series Academy.
Open now, the one- and two-day performance driving school teaches "the finer points of high performance driving" using the 556-horspower instructional aids known as the CTS-V sedan, coupe and wagon. This is different than than using the CTS-V at the Monticello Motor Club on the east coast - that's part of a sponsorship deal that Cadillac has with the track. The driving course at the Motorsports Ranch is its own program that was developed by Fellows, and we have no reason to think the Cadillac edition won't be just as thorough and enjoyable as the one with Corvettes.
Unlike the 'Vette edition, however, it doesn't appear that you get an invitation to the program if you buy a CTS-V model. Classes are capped at 12 participants and run $1,295 for a single day, $2,295 for two days. There are a video and a press release below with more info.
Cadillac reveals stretched ATS-L in China
Tue, 29 Jul 2014In the market for a new Cadillac, but need more space than an ATS can afford? Then you'll want to look at the larger CTS. Unless you live in China, where buyers - often chauffeured instead of driving themselves - seem to prefer a long-wheelbase version of a smaller sedan than upgrading to a larger one. For those buyers, Cadillac has released the new ATS-L.
Based on the existing ATS sports sedan, the ATS-L offers an extra 3.3 inches of rear legroom over the model we get here. As a result, the ATS-L stretches its wheelbase to 112.5 inches and its overall length to 186 inches, while riding a quarter-inch lower than the standard-wheelbase model, which itself was recently updated. That places its length in between the regular ATS and the CTS available Stateside.
Otherwise it's essentially the same sedan, but appears to ditch the base 2.0-liter four to offer either the 2.0-liter turbo four or 3.6-liter V6. Of course this model, produced locally for the Chinese market, isn't likely to make the transpacific voyage to US showrooms, so American buyers will still have to choose between the standard ATS, the larger CTS or the even larger XTS.
