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.

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.
Cadillac ATS Coupe spy photos show more sedate two-door
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Remember when the Cadillac CTS Coupe debuted, and we were all like, "Oh hello there?" Well, don't expect the same thing to happen when the new ATS Coupe is unveiled - these brand new (overexposed) spy shots show a two-door that's decidedly more sedate than the angular yet curvaceous and all-around good-looking CTS Coupe. This isn't to say that the smaller Caddy Coupe won't be attractive - the four-door version is plenty pretty, to be sure - it just likely won't have that extra somethin'-somethin' to truly set it apart from the sedan.
Fine, then. We don't doubt that the two-door ATS will be just as enjoyable to drive as its sedan sibling, with a lot of the mechanical stuff likely carrying over unchanged. That includes the powertrain options, meaning buyers will be able to choose from the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four, turbocharged 2.0-liter four, or larger free-breathing 3.6-liter V6.
Look for the 2014 ATS Coupe to enter production in January of next year, meaning a reveal later this year (LA Auto Show, perhaps?) would be in order.
GM recalls 2014 Cadillac CTS recall
Wed, 02 Jul 2014No, that headline isn't a typo - General Motors has reportedly issued a recall for one of its own recalls. The recall of a recall affects the recall of the 2014 Cadillac CTS, which wasn't supposed to be recalled. Except that the 2014 CTS was supposed to be recalled. Oh no, now we've gone cross-eyed.
Allow us to explain. The redesigned, third-generation CTS Sedan does not feature a faulty ignition switch, while the 2014 CTS Coupe and Wagon, which are based on the second-gen car, do. And as it turns out, there are only 264 of those vehicles included in last week's 8.2-million-unit, ignition-switch recall. Model year 2003 to 2013 CTS Sedans, Coupes and Wagons are still covered.
It's not entirely clear how this, frankly, colossal mistake was made, although we're betting GM is rapidly trying to get to the bottom of this embarrassing issue. Regardless, let's just take what solace we can in there being one less vehicle that GM has recalled this year.
