76,000 Miles, Triple White, Good Original Condition, With Extras Included on 2040-cars
Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible, in
Cotillion White with white interior and white convertible top. It has been garage
kept since I purchased it in 2008, driven sparingly in season and never driven
during winter. All original mileage (76,000+) and factory-installed standard
equipment; I believe the paint to be 1x repainted in factory original Cotillion
White with red pinstripes.
The car has been driven sparingly with care, and has a clean
title/history. It has not been recently detailed and has been mostly sitting in
a garage. Please contact seller if you would like to exchange phone numbers or
see additional pictures – I will try to post more during the week. The car can
be seen in Manchester Township, NJ if you are in the area.
Read on for detailed specifications and terms of sale, payment
and shipping. Thank you for looking.
The exterior of the car I believe to have been redone in its
original cotillion white. When I purchased the car in 2008, I also acquired a
full set of replacement body fillers and painted them to match the factory
Cadillac color. I only got around to installing the front right fender filler,
which had the most immediate need. The rest can be seen in the photos of
additional parts that will be included with purchase. The paint on this car has
some sun fade but overall looks good. There is a noticeable scratch on the
driver’s side rear quarter panel. This car has never sustained any collision
damage and has one small area of rust repair beneath the passenger door. I
never even noticed it myself until the car was up on a lift. The white
convertible top is worn and could use replacing. It was like this when I
purchased the car. I originally intended to do some work to it make it show
quality, but time and money (or lack thereof) got in the way and it stayed the
good looking casual driver it is today. With the work that I never
accomplished, she would be a gem. The car is complete with all of its stainless
and chrome trim except for the hood ornament, which someone helped themselves
to while I was out in it one night. The car sits on older but decent tread
tires and red painted era-correct hubcaps that match the dash, carpet and
parade boot (a nice touch). You’ll see in the pictures I have a brand new set
of chrome plated hubcaps that I am including with purchase. The interior is white leather. The driver’s side seat shows wear
and the vinyl armrest on the driver’s door is torn. The rest of the seats and
doors are quite clean; the back seat is immaculate. The dash is good for it’s
age with some dirt and fading and two small stress cracks to the driver side
upper dash that are very small. Full working power on all four windows and
seats are dual 6-way power. The power to the top does not work. It was in that
condition when I bought it and I don’t know what the cause is. It could be the
top motor or as simple as a relay. I have been raising and lowering the top
manually, but not often as I really don’t ever drive the car unless it is top
down weather. The red parade boot can be seen in the photos and is included. The
driver’s side view mirror glass is a bit loose inside the casing, and there is
a crack in the windshield. Heater/blower works but is noisy at times and A/C does not blow
cold. It has the original Cadillac AM/FM 8 track radio, though it does not play
8 tracks. Power steering, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, front and rear
seat belts, full size spare and jack in the trunk. Carpet is faded and worn in
spots, but better than average for an almost 40 year old car. The original 8.2L 500 CID engine starts and runs every time but
could use a going through and probably a tune up. It does have a newly
installed water pump. It also has a complete new exhaust and runs very quiet.
The suspension is sitting a little low in the rear and could probably stand to
be replaced. The transmission shifts nicely through all gears and the brakes
work well with a recently replaced power brake booster.

2014 Cadillac ELR
Mon, 29 Sep 2014Well, this is awkward.
A few years ago, Audi Of America's boss Johan de Nysschen went on record describing the Chevrolet Volt as "a car for idiots." Fast-forward to earlier this summer, and the well-regarded executive suddenly found himself in a new office with new business cards bearing the title: President, Cadillac. That means that among other challenges, de Nysschen is now tasked with selling the ELR, a car that is, at its core, a Volt in a sportier, less utile frock wearing a price tag that's twice as expensive.
Frankly, it's not a prospect we imagine the South African executive and recent Infiniti boss relishes. Just about nobody is buying the ELR - Cadillac has sold but 774 examples of its plug-in hybrid coupe this year and it presently has an almost a 200-day supply according to Automotive News. What's more, those numbers actually represent big improvements over just a few months ago, before GM started heaping on the incentives. The cynic in us says that the bad news for De Nysschen is that he's got a borderline sales-proof car in his new corporate garage. The good news? Cadillac customers apparently aren't idiots.
Junkyard Gem: 1997 Cadillac Catera
Sun, Jun 16 2024GM's Cadillac Division was having a tough time in the early 1990s, with an onslaught of Lexuses and Infinitis pouring across the Pacific to steal their younger customers while high-end German manufacturers picked off their older customers. Flying an S-Class-priced model between assembly lines in Turin and Hamtramck hadn't worked out, so why not look to the European outposts of the far-flung GM Empire for the next Cadillac? That's how the Catera was born, and I have found a rare first-year example in a North Carolina car graveyard. Across the Atlantic, GM's Opel and Vauxhall were doing good business with prosperous European car buyers by selling them the sleek rear-wheel-drive Omega B (whose platform also lived beneath the Holden VT Commodore in Australia). Here was a genuine German design that competed with success against BMW and Audi on their home turf! So, the Omega B was Americanized and renamed the Catera. Opel wasn't a completely unknown brand to Americans at the time, since its cars were sold here with their own badging through Buick dealerships from the middle 1950s through the late 1970s (for a much shorter period, American Pontiac dealers attempted to sell Vauxhalls). Even after that, plenty of Opel DNA showed up in the products of U.S.-market GM divisions. The Catera was by far the most affordable Cadillac for 1997, with an MSRP starting at $29,995 (about $59,113 in 2024 dollars). Being a genuine German car, it looked much more convincingly European than the DeVille ($36,995), Eldorado ($37,995) and Seville ($39,995). Inspired by the ducks on the Cadillac emblem (they were really supposed to be martlets, mythical birds with no feet and occasionally lacking beaks), Cadillac's marketers went after youthful car shoppers with a whimsical animated duck named Ziggy. For the 21st century, the birds were removed from the Cadillac emblem in order to attract California buyers under 45 years of age. As we all know, the Catera flopped hard in the marketplace. What sold well in Europe turned out not to translate so well in in North America, especially when bearing the badges of such a historically prestigious brand. The Catera's engine was a 54-degree 3.0-liter V6 rated at 200 horsepower and 192 pound-feet. Just as had been the case with its predecessor, the Allante, no manual transmission was available.
Cadillac tipped to call flagship something other than LTS
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without large sedans in its lineup, and while the XTS has had to hold down that end of the fort all on its own, it won't have to for too long. That's because the luxury brand in the General Motors portfolio is preparing to roll out its new LTS, stylistically previewed by the Elmiraj concept pictured above. Only now, the latest thinking is that the upcoming flagship model may not be called LTS at all.
As Automotive News points out, Cadillac's naming scheme is all over the place at the moment. The ATS slotting below the CTS makes sense (alphabetically), but where do the ELR, SRX and especially the Escalade fit into that naming hierarchy? And how would LTS - as the project has been known until now - sit above the XTS?
Fortunately, Cadillac may be on the case, as two of the division's most recent senior appointments seem keen to rationalize the naming scheme. One is Uwe Ellinghaus, who joined Cadillac as chief marketing officer late last year. Speaking of the brand's nomenclature last spring, Ellinghaus was quoted as saying, "We are aware that this is currently a weakness of the Cadillac brand." And his new boss is bound to agree.
