1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz - Triple Yellow - Beautiful! on 2040-cars
Dallas, Texas, United States
This is a head-turning example of a 1978 Eldorado Biarritz, the last of a breed. I bought this vehicle about 4 years ago after searching high and low for a triple yellow Biarritz. It had about 42K miles on it when I purchased it, now has 54K miles. This is a fantastic riding and driving car, very original with just maintenance items as would typically be needed for a car that is 36 years old. The paint is new and is a high-quality respray that came in at a cost of over $8,000 total. The fender extensions were replaced at the time of the repaint. The pin striping was replicated in the original color and pattern and is hand-painted instead of tape and looks very nice.
The interior is in very good condition as well with very little wear. All power accessories work, including the clock, cruise, auto-dimming headlights, etc. The only thing I am aware of that doesn't work are the power seatback releases, which do not appear to have the wires attached. So, the seats just have to be released with the button on the seatback. The leather, carpets, headliner, etc look very nice as well, and the am/fm/8-track/CB radio works as well. Air conditioning blows cold and the heater is hot and it is all automatic climate control, of course. The 425 Cadillac engine starts every time and runs very smoothly with no issues. The transmission and rest of the drivetrain, brakes, etc all function as you would expect in a top of the line Cadillac. The auto-leveling rear suspension has no issues and keeps the rear end level regardless of the load in the trunk. I have taken this car on several road trips and wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere tomorrow. $500 PayPal deposit due at auction close, remainder is payable by certified funds. Funds must clear my bank before car will be released. Car is located in Dallas, Texas. Pickup or delivery arrangements are the buyer's responsibility. See the photos posted (including the one showing 1 small paint chip at the trailing edge of the hood) and let me know if you would like a picture of anything in particular and I will forward to you as soon as I can.

A pair of different but awesome Hondas star in the latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack
Mon, Feb 6 2017Forza Horizon 3's ever-expanding car list grows again with its latest downloadable car pack. This time it packs a pair of Hondas from opposite ends of history. In fact they use opposite drive wheels, too. The first, representing the modern day and front-wheel drive, is the previous generation, 300-horsepower, 2016 Honda Civic Type R. From the early days of Honda automobiles, and with rear-wheel-drive, is the 1970 Honda S800. It has substantially less than 300 horsepower. The Civic Type R isn't the only hot hatch in the pack either. The Vauxhall Corsa VXR provides a European counterpoint to the Honda, albeit a bit smaller. It features less power – about 200 hp in all – but should be an excellent match to the Fiesta ST. The pack also features a couple of high-dollar, high-horsepower machines in the form of the 2017 Aston Marin DB11 and the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V. Plus, for fans of older cars, there's the rear-engined Renault Alpine GTA Le Mans, and a Holden with a really long name: the 1985 HDT VK Commodore Group A. View 7 Photos As usual, the pack is included with the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass. Or, if you don't have the pass, the pack can be purchased on its own.

Cadillac logo losing its wreath?
Tue, 23 Jul 2013The easily recognizable Cadillac logo dates back to the company's founding in the early 1900s, but over the last 110 years, there has been an on-again, off-again love affair with the wreath surrounding the crest. Cadillac's current badge design has used the wreath since the 1980s, but Automotive News is reporting that GM's luxury division is planning to ditch the laurel wreath for a cleaner-looking logo.
The new logo could make its debut as early as next month on a new concept car that will be revealed at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, although the report also says that it might be until 2015 before it makes its way to a production car. Even then, it doesn't like anything has been finalized yet, as the article also says that plans could still change.
As Cadillac looks to improve its global presence as a luxury automaker, the report says that a simpler logo could make it easier for designers to incorporate the badge onto the car - either in the grille or above the grille (possibly in a fashion similar to Mercedes-Benz). Head on over to the AN article, which shows the Cadillac logo dating back to its earliest design.
2016 Cadillac ELR gets more power, $9,000 price drop
Wed, Apr 15 2015Cadillac has announced a series of updates to the ELR for 2016 that promises to make the plug-in hybrid luxury coupe a more desirable proposition. Perhaps chief among them is a price drop of $9,005 compared to the slow-selling 2014 model. The news follows an announcement yesterday that the Chevy Spark would get a $1,500 price drop. Cadillac is quoting a net price for the updated ELR at $58,495, which is obviously substantially less than the $75k it was asking for the previous version. But it's important to note that the new price is listed after US federal tax credits. The 2014 model came in at $67,500 after the full $7,500 tax credit, so math tells us that Cadillac has slashed the price on the 2016 ELR rather dramatically by about nine grand with a new MSRP of $65,995. One big upgrade on the performance front is a 25-percent boost in output from the hybrid powertrain that marries a pair of electric motors to a 1.4-liter inline-four gasoline-burning generator. The increase is said to be enough to drop 1.5 seconds off the 0-60 time, now quoted at 6.4 seconds. It'll travel for up to 39 miles on electric mode alone, but with the generator spooled up will go up to 330 miles before needing to stop. The engine management software has also been updated and the regenerative braking system reconfigured as well, but GM's luxury division didn't stop at the powertrain, fitting the 2016 ELR with a raft of other enhancements. Visually there's a new grille with the marque's latest emblem embedded. The suspension has been stiffened, the steering recalibrated and the brakes optimized for better feel. Cadillac is also throwing in the previously optional Driver Assistance package of active safety systems as standard, with adaptive cruise control available as an option. And the infotainment system comes with OnStar, 4G LTE connectivity and on-board Wi-Fi. There's even a Performance Package available with 20-inch performance tires offering 10-percent better lateral grip, four-piston Brembo brake calipers up front to help reducing stopping distances by 12 percent, recalibrated dampers and steering and a thicker-rimmed steering wheel. Because of the higher rolling resistance tires, however, the Performance Package kills four miles off of the electric driving range.
