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.

Meet the next president's new Beast, a giant bomb-proof limo
Fri, Jan 22 2016We don't know who will be our president in 2017, but now we have a better idea of how that person will be transported on land. The next presidential limo, officially referred to as the presidential state car, will be another Cadillac. And a big one. You're looking at a lone spy photo of a car that will be of high interest to actual spies – not to mention Secret Service agents and lots of law-enforcement types. President Obama has been riding around in a Cadillac nicknamed The Beast for a while now. (It recently made an appearance on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.) Over the Secret Service radios, it goes by Cadillac One and Limo One. While the current car looks like a stretched Cadillac DTS sedan, it's actually kind of huge and built on a Chevrolet Kodiak medium-duty truck chassis. The same is likely to be true again, but this one will look a lot more like the latest Cadillac models. Through the camo we can see a front end reminiscent of the new CT6 large sedan. Imagine one of those scaled to about 5/3 of the production car and you've got the right idea. Fun fact: It will be the first presidential limo to feature Caddy's new wreathless crest logo on its grille. View 6 Photos As for features, we're in the dark and will remain so even after the new president-mover goes into service. The details are a legitimate matter of national security, but you can bet it's bulletproof, can withstand small bombs, and has some kind of onboard secondary air supply in case of a chemical or biomedical warfare attack. Oh, and it has that big red phone in back in the event things get really bad. The new one will no doubt carry the latest communications and safety technology. The new presidential limousine has been in the works for some time. The government sent out a request for proposals in 2013, and this model is expected to go into service sometime in 2017. Chances are it will make its debut at the inauguration of [INSERT CONTROVERSIAL NAME HERE] in about a year's time. Related Video:
Cadillac gives ATS, CTS new V6 for 2016
Sun, Oct 11 2015Replacing the existing 3.6-liter V6 in the Cadillac ATS and CTS is... another 3.6-liter V6. But this one promises higher output, while consuming less fuel, and making less noise. Like the V8s in the CTS-V and Escalade, it's got cylinder-deactivation technology to cut it down to a four-pot under lighter loads, as well as automatic stop/start, and comes mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The new engine produces 335 horsepower and 284 pound-feet of torque. That's a modest improvement over the 321 hp and 275 lb-ft mustered by the unit it replaces. But it also delivers an approximate improvement of nine percent in fuel economy and eight percent in carbon emissions. That's what we'd call a win-win, even if it's a modest one. Of course, those ATS or CTS buyers attracted to higher efficiency will still likely go for the 2.5-liter inline-four or the 2.0-liter turbo four. And those more inclined towards performance will be tempted by the 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 in the ATS-V or CTS Vsport – or the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 in the CTS-V, for that matter. But those customers looking for the best of both worlds will surely be pleased by the improvements the new atmospheric V6 and 8-speed gearbox bring to the table.

Now as 2016 model year production begins, Cadillac adds new fuel-saving technologies. Active Fuel Management and Automatic Stop/Start technologies, and widespread use of a new 8-speed transmission, are combining to raise fuel economy ratings and reduce emissions in Cadillac's portfolio. Cadillac's all-new six cylinder engine contains Active Fuel Management, or cylinder deactivation, technology enabling it to seamlessly switch from six-cylinder to four-cylinder operation under certain light-load conditions, while maintaining excellent performance. The new 3.6-liter engine is part of the 2016 ATS and CTS product lines. Additionally, the Cadillac Escalade luxury SUV's V8 will shift to four-cylinder operation in many daily driving conditions, as will Cadillac's all-new high performance CTS-V sedan.
