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.

In particular, the trio are talking about recent experiences in the 2020 Subaru Outback, 2020 Cadillac XT6, 2019 Mercedes-AMG C 63 S and 2020 Hyundai Palisade. At the end, they tackle an interesting and particularly tough "Spend My Money" question involving whether or not to put off purchasing a Jeep Wrangler in favor of a sensible daily driver.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.

GM announces net 220 job increase as Trump visits Michigan

Wed, Mar 15 2017

GM announced today that about 900 jobs would be added (or, importantly, retained) ahead of President Trump's arrival in Michigan, where he is expected to discuss his plan to roll back fuel economy standards. The timing of the announcement is almost certainly not coincidental, as appending it to a Trump visit gives it a higher profile and dovetails with the President's jobs agenda. It's less likely the decision itself was made for those reasons, but the free PR boost is a nice bonus. As for those 900 jobs themselves, they aren't all new jobs. The only net gain is approximately 220 jobs at the Romulus Powertrain Plant, which produces the 10-speed automatic transmission that's proliferating through the company's lineup. The 180 jobs at Flint Assembly and 500 jobs at Lansing Delta Township are retained jobs – that is to say, spots the company found for workers who would otherwise have been laid off. By the way, the Flint jobs will help with production of heavy-duty pickups, and the Lansing jobs are to produce the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Finding jobs for manufacturing workers in the auto sector, whether new or retained, is admirable. No matter how GM couches it, the company has created or retained a total of 7,000 jobs this year, and its total reinvestment in US production is around $1 billion. But these decisions are business ones, not political ones – timing the announcements to make them seem inspired by economic policy, or the political situation, is simply smart PR.
