1979 CADILLAC ELDORADO BIARRITZ


This is a Classic Cadillac.  Introduced in 1979, the trimmer, redesigned Eldorado was an instant hit .  The 1979 model year had the highly-desirable Oldsmobile fuel-injected, small-block 350CID (5.7 liter) V8 engine as well as features such as a long hood, egg-crate grill, frameless door glass and the extreme notchback roofline, making the rear window almost vertical.  The Biarritz trim package added the ultimate in luxury with additional chrome trim, a cabriolet roof featuring a brushed stainless steel roof section and an opulent interior.


This beautiful Cadillac was sold new locally at Lou Thompson Cadillac in Lakewood, Colorado.  It is a one-owner car  that was gently driven and always garaged.  Driven by Mom, obsessed over by Dad… it shows!


This car has 126,150 well-kept miles.  The interior, engine bay and details are very nice.   While in storage the past 10 years, the car was regularly started and occasionally driven (3000 miles over 10 years).  It runs and drives great -- there are no bad engine noises, smoke etc. and the transmission and brakes perform as they should.


Cosmetically, it is gorgeous.  The Western Saddle Metallic Firemist paint is absolutely stunning.  The color is carried through to the interior and roof for a rare triple-color combination.  The chrome is perfect, however, the paint does have some imperfections, most notably on the corner of the rear license plate deck.  There is no rust and it has never been in an accident.


The interior is all original with the exception of the factory radio, which was replaced with a Blaupunkt in-dash AM/FM autoreverse cassette deck.  The leather is soft and in good shape (with the exception of a small split seam on the leather passenger seat), as is the rest of the inside including the carpet, panels and headliner.    The trunk liner and mat/spare tire cover are all in good shape and look great.

Cadillac ATS Coupe headed for Detroit reveal

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without its two-door models. But the XLR has been discontinued for over four years now, the Elmiraj concept may never see production and the future of the CTS Coupe is still up in the air. That leaves just the ELR, which may not be conventional enough for traditional Cadillac coupe buyers. Fortunately a new coupe is coming along to fill the void.
According to Edmunds, Cadillac will reveal the new ATS coupe just a couple of months from now at the Detroit Auto Show. Expected to mechanically mirror the existing ATS sedan, the new coupe will also more conventionally resemble its four-door counterpart than the CTS, whose coupe version was distinguished by a rakishly sloping roofline.
Expect the same choice of engines to carry over, with a 2.5-liter four serving as the base engine, and both a 2.0-liter turbo four and a 3.6-liter V6 offering more power for those looking for that extra bit of oomph. Following the Detroit reveal, sources anticipate the ATS coupe to go on sale next summer.

Semi-autonomous Cadillac CT6 has Batman's seal of approval

Fri, Nov 11 2016

Earlier this year, Cadillac pushed the launch of its Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology back to 2017, but it looks like the automaker is still hard at work testing the system on its vehicles. Our photographers snapped a CT6 sedan with what appears to be the Super Cruise technology in broad daylight. The CT6 in the pictures, ignoring the massive equipment on the car's roof, appears to be stock. The barely camouflaged vehicle has more sensors on the front fascia and a black rear bumper, but other than those points, looks normal. Getting back to the massive piece of equipment on the CT6's roof. There's no way to definitively state what it is, but there appears to be four cameras on the corners of the rack. A sensor or camera is also fitted to the right side mirror, which is slightly camouflaged. With all of the wires from the roof going into the vehicle, there's a chance that the massive blacked-out piece of equipment on the roof could be used to gather data. While the equipment looks extremely scientific, someone at Cadillac must have a sense of humor, or be a huge fan of DC Comics, as a Batman's logo is prominently displayed on the roof-mounted gear. Cadillac announced its Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology two years ago. The system will be able to speed the car up, keep the vehicle in its lane, and slow it down. The goal, in 2014, was to introduce the technology in two years (2016), but the automaker delayed the tech until 2017.

2014 Cadillac ELR

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

Well, 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.
