1985 CADILLAC ELDORADO
TOURING COUPE CONVERTIBLE By Hess & Eisenhardt
THIS CAR IS THE RAREST 79-85 ELDORADO CONVERTIBLE ON THE PLANET
585 TOURING COUPES WERE BUILT IN 1985, BUT ONLY 5 KNOWN CONVERTIBLES WERE BUILT This car is restored to factory built specs, low mileage, runs and looks like new. True Mileage 67,300 Miles Since New This is not one of the 2300 "Factory" built Biarritz Convertibles This is an extremely unusual car, please read... In the 1980's, Cadillac realized that they were losing sales to many of the European car manufacturers and came up with a special Eldorado model that was called the Eldorado Touring Coupe. There were MANY differences between the standard Eldorado, the Eldorado Biarritz, and the Eldorado Touring Coupe. The engine and drive train were the same, but there were differences in the suspension, specifically different springs and shocks, as well as larger anti-roll bars front and rear. As far as appearance, The Touring Coupe had color keyed headlight and tail light trim, color keyed wheel opening moldings, a sporty ribbed rocker and lower fender trim, and a special medallion on the hood instead of the normal stand-up wreath and crest. The biggest difference was in the interior. All Touring Coupes featured a luxurious roll and pleated bucket seat interior with large floor console. This particular car was purchased new by a Cadillac salesman in New Jersey and sent to famous coachbuilder Hess & Eisenhardt in Cincinnati, OH for conversion. I have the window sticker for the car as well as documentation from Hess & Eisenhardt. Please examine the photos to see the superb condition of this car. Lets start off with some basic photos of the car:
This was a no-rust, no-hit car, but when Hess & Eisenhardt does their convertible conversions, they paint the car from the doors back. In the 1980's GM was still using acrylic lacquer paint on these cars and due to the excessive paint build up, the paint on the trunk and quarter panels was cracking. The car had all trim removed, and was taken down to bare metal and repainted in the original Bordeaux Red Metallic in a high quality base-coat clear-coat finish at a cost of $7000.00. A brand new top was fitted, and since I wanted everything painted properly, the windshield was removed and replaced with a new one. Some more photos...
The photos were taken on a mainly overcast day. In direct sunlight, the Bordeaux Red really "pops". Wheels are correct and original. Tires are new.
Some interior shots... Taken at different times of the day, lighting differences make the tan interior look different in different lighting. It is really excellent.
No real wear on the interior. Door panels arm rest and switch areas have no cracks or splits. Edges of seats are not warn, plastic seat trim is mint. Original boot still fits perfectly, not shrunken or torn.
Tilt/Tele Steering wheel and dash pad are beautiful, all dash items function 100% radio plays well, cruise works, ICE COLD Air Conditioning with full R-12 charge
Standard Eldorado Coupes had the anodized aluminum trim on the top of each door, and the ones on this car are fine. The trim that went from the door, across the bottom of the fixed quarter window and turned up to meet the roof is diecast and they usually are pitted even on low mileage cars. Although it pained me to do it, I took an NOS pair and cut them down just like Hess & Eisenhardt did and installed them on the car after the car was painted. The rubber parts are all new too. All of the windows line up correctly and they were all lubed and adjusted when the car was apart for paint. See below:
Now for the mechanical parts of the car... This is a NO Rust Garage Kept Car. Floorpans are excellent, suspension, brakes, exhaust excellent, new Goodrich Radial T/A's with 50 miles on them.
I have owned about 6 of the 84-85 Biarritz convertibles throughout the years, and also own a 1980 Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible and this car is the nicest riding 85 Eldorado I have ever owned. The touring suspension really makes a difference. This is a rattle-free convertible and is the only Touring Coupe Convertible known. The condition is outstanding, dazzling paint and chrome, beautiful interior, everything on the car is working 100% including the radio, cruise control, climate control, level ride, digital dash, and power top. Your personal inspection or inspection representative is welcomed. You are welcome to test drive the car. I am located in Huntingdon Valley, PA, just outside of Phila, PA. Convenient to the Phila Airport, PA Turnpike, or I-95. Inexpensive delivery available. Please contact me with any and all questions, and thank you for looking!

Cadillac XT5 caught uncovered during photo shoot
Fri, Jun 26 2015It's only been a few weeks since Cadillac announced that its replacement for the SRX, the new XT5, is on its way. Now, we have images of it out in the open and completely free of camouflage. Obtained by a reader at Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, the Caddy was spotted during what user Saw930 believes was a photo shoot in New York's trendy SoHo neighborhood. There's only a pair of images, from the front and rear three-quarters, but it's enough to give us a very thorough overview of the exterior styling on the new CUV. In short, the design language that has been seen on Escalade, CTS, and upcoming CT6 has indeed made its way to the SRX replacement. The broad, egg-crate grille is perhaps the cleanest iteration of Caddy's latest styling, while the CT6-inspired headlights look sharp, as well. Expect a similar headlight pattern to the CTS, with strong LED character accents on the outside of the headlights that integrate seamlessly with the lower DRLs. In back, the taillights curve over the rear haunches and blend into an extremely strong shoulder line. It's a dynamic and aggressive piece of design that we'll need to see in person before signing off on. The rear bumper, meanwhile, is a nicely styled piece, complete with twin, integrated, rectangular tailpipes that flank a piece of (probably faux) skid plating. There's a similar off-road treatment in the front bumper, as well. While we wait for scour for more news on the XT5, have a look at the two images Saw930 captured and posted at Oppo and let us know what you think in Comments.
2015 Cadillac Escalade
Mon, 07 Apr 2014Cadillac has been an interesting story in the auto industry over the past several years. Its comeback bid may be well over a decade old, but it's only recently that the Wreath and Crest has transformed from the auto industry's retirement home into its hot new thing. Today's Cadillac is a powerful marque working to instill passionate design, sound driving dynamics and cutting-edge technology into each model it builds, with vehicles like the ATS and redesigned CTS leading the charge.
Now, its latest model has arrived. This fourth-generation Escalade is among the most important new Cadillacs since the division's renaissance kicked into high gear. It's the brand's de facto flagship, and the first vehicle many young people think of when hearing the name "Cadillac." In the past, the Escalade was the chosen vehicle of the rich, flashy and famous. It's suffered over the past few years, though, particularly as new and more luxurious competitors have come to the fore.
With this latest redesign, General Motors is aiming to retake the spotlight as purveyors of the market's premier luxury SUV. To find out if it's been successful, I ventured down to the South Carolina Lowcountry to test the all-new 2015 Escalade.
The new presidential limo is almost ready and way bigger than a Suburban
Thu, Feb 23 2017If you're familiar with the current presidential limo, which is nicknamed The Beast, you know it's based on a medium-duty truck platform. This new one, shown in aerial spy photos, appears to be just as huge. The vehicles flanking it in these shots are Chevrolet Suburbans, basically the largest passenger vehicle you can buy. And while the limo looks car-shaped, it's very tall and much longer than the three-row SUV. You might say it's yuge. Like its predecessor, The Beast 2.0 is being developed in secret because all of its various systems and defenses are matters of national security. We are fairly confident that it has lots of armor protection, glass that's about five inches thick, and special systems to clean the air in the event of a biological warfare attack. The current Beast is also said to carry a pint or two of the President's blood type just in case something does happen. When the President is being transported in a motorcade, he is at his most vulnerable, so Cadillac One and the vehicles that surround it have to be prepared for almost anything. In fact, two identical presidential limos travel together to make it harder for would-be attackers to do bad stuff. The Suburban escort it's getting here at the GM proving grounds is appropriate, since most of the vehicles used by the Secret Service to accompany the President's motorcade are big GM SUVs. By the looks of this camouflaged prototype, GM is nearing completion of testing the new Presidential car. The styling is a mix of CT6 sedan and Escalade, with a little XTS thrown in, and it looks a lot more sleek by comparison than the current blocky Beast. When it's ready, President Donald Trump will be the first to ride in it on official business and the current beasts will probably be retired and end up in a museum.
