1985 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe

Original Saddle Tan Firemist Exterior with Matching Vinyl Roof and Light Tan Leather Interior

4.1L V8 and 4-Speed Automatic Transmission

Excellent 100% Original Condition with Only 37,489 Original Miles

This 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe is a superb 100% original example of the final year of the final generation of traditional Eldorados; the model was dramatically downsized and downgraded the next year. We purchased the car from Daniel Schmitt & Co. of St. Louis, who bought it from its original owner in Palm Springs, California (see original listing here). Since then it has been garage kept and driven locally in good weather only. With only 37,489 original miles it has been driven less than 1,500 miles a year, and its condition reflects its exceptionally low mileage.

It is finished in original Saddle Tan Firemist paint with matching vinyl roof and a light tan leather interior. Inside and out, it presents exceptionally well for its age with no major cosmetic flaws. The paint is still shiny, the leather trim still soft and supple. There is no rust or body damage.

As befits one of the premier American luxury cars of its era, it is fitted with a high level of equipment including 4.1L V8 engine, 4-speed automatic transmission, leather upholstery, wire wheel covers, automatic climate control, power windows, power door locks, power driver's seat and more.

The car has just had the oil changed, transmission fluid flushed and the rear self-leveling air suspension repaired. The car will also have a new battery installed before being delivered to its new owner. The only significant mechanical flaw of which we are aware of is that the air conditioner needs a recharge as it no longer blows cold.

This is an excellent opportunity to buy one of the best examples you will find of this generation of Eldorado.

Please remember that while this car is in excellent condition, it is still a used car, and therefore has wear consistent with its age and (very low) mileage.

We believe this listing is a fair and accurate representation of the car and its condition, to the best of our knowledge. However, because of its age, it is being sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Please feel free to ask us any questions you may have and we will be happy to answer them to the best of our ability.

The car is located in Islip, Long Island, NY. The buyer is welcome to collect the car in person, or it can be shipped to them. If the buyer chooses to have the car shipped, the buyer will be responsible for all shipping charges and for making all shipping arrangements.

The winning bidder will be required to pay a deposit of $1,000.00 via PayPal within 48 hours of the close of the auction. Full payment via cashier's check is required within 7 days of the close of the auction. Payment may also be in cash at the time of pick-up if the buyer chooses to pick the car up in person. If the buyer chooses to have the car shipped, we will not ship the car until we have received full payment.

Please note that this car is for sale to US and Canadian buyers only.

Thank you and good luck!

GM and Ford quarterly sales continue to slump in China

Fri, Jul 5 2019

BEIJING — General Motors and Ford announced their quarterly sales in China fell, albeit at a slower pace sequentially, as the U.S. automakers were hit by a slowing economy amid the Sino-U.S. trade war. GM's vehicle sales in China for the quarter ended June 30 dropped 12.2%, while Ford's sales slumped by 21.7%. While GM also suffered from heightened competition in its key mid-priced SUV segment, Ford was hurt by the limited new models for customers to choose from. For the first quarter of this year, Ford's sales in China tumbled 35.8 percent while GM's skid 17.5 percent. Still, the numbers from GM, the second biggest international automaker in China by sales, and Ford portend more uncertainty for the industry which is trying to rebound from a downward spiral that led to its first annual sales decline last year in more than two decades. GM delivered 1.57 million vehicles in China in the January-June period this year, while Ford delivered 290,321 vehicles. China's factory activity shrank more than expected in June, highlighting the need for more economic stimulus amid higher U.S. tariffs and weaker domestic demand. Annual car sales in China fell last year for the first time since the 1990s, and they are expected to fall this year too. Sales tumbled 16.4% in May from the same month a year prior, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) said. That marked the 11th consecutive month of decline and followed falls of 14.6% in April and 5.2% in March. U.S. car companies' share of total China passenger vehicles sales fell to 9.6% in the first five months of this year from 10.9% in the year-ago period, according to CAAM. Over the same period, German car makers' share has risen to 23.3% from 20.9% and Japanese auto makers' to 21.3% from 17.3%. CAAM is set to announce June sales next week, which industry analysts forecast will be negative.   New models In China, GM has a joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac are made. It also has another venture, with SAIC and GuangxiAutomobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of GM's affordable brand Baojun dropped 31.8% for the latest quarter. But luxury brand Cadillac's sales jumped 36.6%. GM sold 3.64 million units in China last year, down from 4.04 units in 2017. Ford makes cars in China through its joint venture with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co and Jiangling Motors Corp (JMC).

Cadillac picks Publicis as new agency of record, continues cutting ties with Campbell Ewald

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Cadillac is setting itself up for major changes in the coming years with its decision to hire Johan de Nysschen as the brand's new boss and moving some of the staff to new digs in the trendy SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. With those two big shifts in place, there's one more on the way with the company's announcement that Publicis Worldwide is now its global creative agency of record, effective immediately. The firm replaces former, long-time General Motors associate Campbell-Ewald; now a portion of Lowe and Partners. "This appointment is designed to accelerate the global expansion and elevation of Cadillac into a truly global luxury brand," said Cadillac Chief Marketing Officer Uwe Ellinghaus in the company's announcement. "We have spent much of this year refocusing on the core values of our brand." Although, some work may remain at Lowe and Partners for now. According to Cadillac spokesperson David Caldwell via email to Autoblog: "The bulk of work makes this shift. It is possible that maybe a small individual smaller project or two might still be handled by Lowe. Not certain yet." The fruit of this new partnership shouldn't take long to mature, either. "We will have substantially new marketing and brand identity work in early 2015." said Caldwell. According to Ad Age, Cadillac's advertising had been handled by Lowe and Partners, Campbell-Ewald in Detroit (now entirely part of Lowe) and Hill Holiday. Caddy had a relationship with the agency since 2013 but has changed firms several times in 2006. GM had a long collaboration with Campbell-Ewald, though. Chevrolet was its partner for nearly a century until the automaker also jumped to Publicis in 2010. The firm was responsible for campaigns like, "The Heartbeat of America", "Like A Rock" and "An American Revolution." Scroll down to read Cadillac's full announcement of the change. Cadillac Appoints Publicis Worldwide 2014-12-04 DETROIT – Cadillac announced today the appointment of Publicis Worldwide as its global creative agency of record. Publicis Worldwide is the largest creative agency of the Publicis Groupe network and its appointment to Cadillac is effective immediately. A fully dedicated team, comprising key managers from Publicis Worldwide, will lead the account and have access to specialist and premium resources within the larger Publicis Groupe.

Cadillac ATS-V and Mercedes-AMG C63 S pitted Head to Head

Fri, Sep 4 2015

Our favorite (and only) Autoblog-alum-turned-Motor Trend staffer is back with another Head to Head video, this time pitting the Cadillac ATS-V with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S. This performance machine shootout is ostensibly a way to figure out which of these new super sedans will earn the right to go toe-to-toe with the undisputed champion of its segment, the BMW M3. In reality, it's just a really good excuse to put three of the hottest sedans on the market on video at the same time... and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Jonny Lieberman spends time in each of the two new challengers on the road, picking apart their powertrains, chassis and driving dynamics on the kinds of twisty roads drivers of these cars will relish. Then, he hands the keys off to Randy Pobst, who sort of acts as an unmasked version of a certain tame racing driver, except that he talks and has a personality. 0-60 and quarter-mile times are equated, braking performance is measured and scores are tallied before the two sport sedans end up at Willow Springs raceway. Interestingly enough, the car that proves (just slightly) faster at the race track isn't the car that wins the comparison. Curious? We're not going to spoil it for you. Check out the video, above. Then, for more action of these two machines, check out the videos just below.
