Up for auction is a nice one owner from new, 1972 Cadillac Eldorado in Royal Blue.
Yes! you have herd the stories of, the little old ladies car up on blocks. The story is true, you found it, and here it is!!!!!
This Caddy was bought new in late 1971 by this family, in Boise Idaho. They picked it up at Miller-Stephan Cadillac, brought it back to Lewiston.The car has been  loved, and pampered it all its life, but now it needs to go to a new home. The father has passed, and the mother is in a care center. The car has been on blocks for the past 3 years, and stored at the family's home. The house is up for sale, and the car must go. The car has power brakes, power steering, cruse, tilt telescopic wheel, power trunk, AM FM 8 track radio, power windows , power locks, and climate control. The air conditioner may need to be checked for freon. This car has been very well maintain through out its life, buy a affluent family. It runs & drives great. Tires are good, all glass is is nice, and chrome is bright. The paint is showing some age, and has been touched up in several places. The paint has a few nicks and scratches , but most will buff out. The gas tank was drained when parked, so started easy with new gas, when the car was taken of the blocks. The oil has been changed, and all fluids were checked. The interior is cloth, and is very nice, with only one very small ware spot, on the drivers side back lower cushion, center of the seat.( about one inch square.) You can not see the spot in the pictures, you need to be very close to see it. The car has never been smoked in, so the ashtrays never used. The dash, and other parts of the interior look new. The car has the AM FM 8 track radio, but I tried to play the radio, and I only got static. I did not have a 8 track tape, so do not know it the 8 track player works. The car has no rust, and has never had. All body panels look straight, and body fit is as it should be. I'm listing this Caddy for the family who are selling their mothers car. Buyer is responsible for shipping, and all shipping costs. We will help with loading on our end, and in anyway we can. For questions please call Bill (208)750-0000

Jeff Gordon will come out of retirement to race new Cadillac endurance racecar

Thu, Dec 1 2016

Jeff Gordon is not a man who takes well to retirement, apparently. That's not a surprise at all, given that we've been talking about his return to racing since almost the minute he retired in the first place. This year, he's taken the wheel for Dale Earnhardt, Jr., who is recovering from a concussion, several times already. So we shouldn't be too surprised to find out he's officially coming out of retirement – the twist is that it won't be in a stock car. Gordon has signed onto Wayne Taylor Racing, Motorsport.com reports, and he'll join Ricky and Jordan Taylor as well as Max Angelelli. Their ride will be the newly-revealed Cadillac DPi-V.R racer, a Dallara-chassis car powered by a 6.2-liter pushrod V8 loosely related, Cadillac claims, to the engine in the current CTS-V. You can read all about the DPi-V.R right over here. Remember, Gordon has a total of 93 NASCAR wins to his name, as well as four titles. He knows his way around Daytona pretty well, too, having won the 500 three times. He's also dabbled in endurance racing once before, in the 2007 24 Hours of Daytona with Taylor, Angelelli and Jan Magnussen in a WTR Riley-Pontiac car. They ended up on the podium, so you can say Gordon's inaugural and only outing in endurance racing so far was a success. It's been a decade, so we'll see if he's rusty, although knowing about how competitive champions are, we think he'll blow out the cobwebs and get right down to work. You can read Gordon's statement over at his personal site. Related Video:

Cadillac mulling CTS Coupe successor after all

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

The 2014 Cadillac CTS made a big splash last week at the New York Auto Show, but now that we've seen the sedan, we can start to wonder about whether coupe and wagon versions are in the cards. According to Edmunds, Cadillac is at least considering bringing back the CTS Coupe for a second generation, which seems like an even better chance since the brand's global marketing director, Jim Vurpillat, was quoted as saying that the car was the top-selling luxury coupe in the industry.
Of course, this goes against reports we heard last year that Caddy's coupe and wagon would live on just not under the CTS name, but the interview with Vurpillat has us hopeful for a next-generation CTS Coupe. If it does come to fruition, we would expect the new two-door to have a largely unique exterior design like the current CTS Coupe, to echo that of intended rivals like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe and even the high-dollar BMW 6 Series.

Dealers mobilize to protect their margins from automaker subscription services

Fri, Aug 24 2018

Six individual auto brands — Lincoln, Cadillac, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW and Volvo — have established or are trialing a vehicle subscription service in the U.S. Three third-party companies — Flexdrive, Clutch and Carma — run brand-agnostic subscription services. And three automakers — Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and General Motors — have also launched short-term rental services. Dealers, afraid of how these trends might affect their margins, are building political and lawmaking campaigns to protect their revenue streams. So far, three states are investigating automaker subscriptions, and Indiana has banned any such service until next year. It's certain that those three states are the first fronts in a long political and legal battle. Powerful dealer franchise laws mandate the existence of dealers and restrict how automakers are allowed to interact with customers to sell a vehicle. On top of that, Bob Reisner, CEO of Nassau Business Funding & Services, said, "Dealers and their associations are among the strongest political operators in many states. They as a group are difficult for state politicians to vote against." In California earlier this year, the state Assembly debated a bill with wide-ranging provisions to protect against what the California New Car Dealers Association called "inappropriate treatment of dealers by manufacturers." One of those provisions stipulated that subscription services need to go through dealers, but that item got stripped out when dealers and manufacturers agreed to discuss the matter further. In Indiana, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a moratorium on all subscription programs by dealers or manufacturers until May 1, 2019, to give legislators more time to investigate. Dealers in New Jersey have taken their campaign to the state capitol, asking that the cars in subscription programs get a different classification for registration purposes. Automakers run the current subscription services and own the vehicles. Sign-ups and financial transactions happen online or through apps, leaving dealers to do little more than act as fulfillment centers to various degrees, with little legal recourse as to compensation amounts when they're called on to deliver or service a car. That's a bad base to build on for business owners who've sunk millions of dollars into their operations.
