1966 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible "Regarded by Many as the Last Year for the Best Eldorado.....If you ever drove one you would understand why!" HIGHLY OPTIONED CAR *** SPECIAL "ELDORADO ONLY" EMBER FIREMIST COLOR *** ORIGINAL CONDITION UP FOR AUCTION is my 1966 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. The 1966 Eldorado is regarded by many to be the "Last of the Best" of the Eldorado offering with a convertible and rear wheel drive....The 1967 model got a complete remake and though a styling breakthrough, it was now front-wheel drive and was not offered again as a convertible until 1971. I love them all, I really do, but the 1966 models are my favorite. The 429 makes smooth power and idles so quiet you barely hear them running at a stop light. This Eldorado is a highly optioned car that is still wearing almost all of it's original paint with the exception of the passenger fender which suffered a minor "Grandpa parking/garage entry bruise"(.....It's always the passenger side, right?) The floors and frame are very solid and the original interior is terrific for being all original: The dash pad has NO cracks and the instruments are clean...The temperature sensor plastic bezel is 100% (most of the time these are trash). The original carpet is great and the door panels are super nice with only the top edge of the wood needing refinishing. The trim is complete and the rear bumper center is straight (most of the cars you see are always pushed in at the license plate and the top gap along the trunk is irregular). As for the front bumper, I have an arrow straight spare on a parts car that's included in the sale. All the "E L D O R A D O" letters are on the car but an "O" and the parts car has that one so it's covered. The white top is in great condition (almost new) but it's dirty....The car is coded for a black top and I think it would look better with black since the interior is black. Back to the options.....This Eldorado had the boxes checked when it was ordered: A/C, Power Trunk Closer, Trunk Release, AM/FM Stereo (That still plays and the power antenna still works), twilight Sentinel Headlight controller, Cruise Control, as well as the power vent windows and primary windows (all working) and power seats. If you want to dress it up with an option it did not have, the parts car has the rare Bucket Seats w/ Headrests and Consolette. This Eldorado drives well....Bump the key and the engine comes to life and goes to high idle for the warm up. Blip the accelerator when it's warm and it drops to operating idle without issue. The transmission shifts as it should (I have serviced it and replaced the rear seal back in the fall...Also had the driveshaft balanced while it was out). The brake system was also gone thru last fall and received new lines, master cylinder, and wheel cylinders. The more it is driven, the better it runs. I have owned the car for 4 years and intended to give her all the love she deserves, but I am planning on relocating to the west and away from the cold/wet east and decided that I would not start anymore projects than I already have on-going, so it is with regret that I offer this great car to someone else. This is an EXCELLENT opportunity to buy a good solid mostly original car that you can drive around in and give it the "refreshing" when you can, as you can. Most of the time when these cars are available, they are rusty clap wagons that are missing parts and pieces or they are restored cars asking over $80,000 (and these classic Cadillacs are not Camaros,Tri 5s, or Mustangs....You can't build the whole car with a cowl tag or just order the parts from Year One or NPD.....If you're missing something you have to hunt for the correct part and then restore it. Starting off with a complete, solid and original car makes a BIG difference. DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!!! Call with any questions 336-202-8762 or email. |

Cadillac SRX likely to see next-gen built in China
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Here's some shocking news to no one: People love crossovers, including those living in China. Since introducing the Cadillac SRX there in 2009, the model's sales have gone through the roof. Now, the brand is considering moving some production of the next-generation model in China to eliminate import tariffs and make it an even bigger player in the market.
According to a recent report in The Wall Street Journal, the crossover is leading Cadillac's Chinese growth, despite its US-equivalent price of over $67,000 after the country's high import tariffs. The CUV's sales are up 23 percent there so far this year, and it's responsible for over 40 percent of the brand's sales. John Stadwick, General Motors' VP of sales, service and marketing in China, told the WSJ that GM could "very possibly" build the next-gen model there.
The SRX is Cadillac's golden goose in China, and it just keeps pushing the brand's sales forward. "It's the vehicle that took us out of being a small niche in the market," said David Caldwell, Cadillac Communications Manager, to Autoblog. Before the CUV, Caddy was selling a little over 20,000 cars a year there, but partially thanks to the crossover's success, the brand sold 50,000 vehicles last year and could reach 60,000 this year. "The SRX is the most popular Cadillac in that market," he said.
CES 2022 was huge for EVs | Autoblog Podcast #711
Fri, Jan 7 2022In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. CES took place this week, and there were some nice electric surprises from automakers, especially General Motors. John has been driving the Ram 1500 Power Wagon, as well as what seems to be its polar opposite, the electric Mini Cooper SE. Greg talks about the differences between the Acura TLX A-Spec long-termer (which is back in the shop) and the Type S loaner that's filling in for it. John's also got some interesting thoughts on leather interiors. Finally, the editors reach into the mailbag and help a repeat customer decide on a suitable replacement for a 2008 Lexus GX 470 in this week's Spend My Money segment.

Cadillac teases two new V-Series prototypes at the Detroit Grand Prix
Sat, Jun 1 2019We told you earlier this week that there would be more to come from Cadillac's V-Series of performance vehicles following the introduction of the brand's CT4-V and CT5-V performance sedans. We just didn't expect it to come quite so soon. Cadillac surprised attendees of the 2019 Detroit Grand Prix as two new prototypes took to the track for what we figure must have been demonstration laps in between other official race events. A CT4-based machine wearing funky blue camouflage joined a red-hued CT5-based prototype on the track, with driving duties split between Mark Reuss, president of General Motors, and Ken Morris, vice president of Product. Cadillac CT4 V-Series prototype View 3 Photos Exactly what's powering these prototypes is still a mystery, but we have our suspicions that these two beasts are putting down a lot more power than the 320-horsepower CT4-V and 355-hp CT5-V that underwhelmed enthusiasts earlier this week. We wouldn't be surprised if there was a version of Cadillac's twin-turbo Blackwing V8 engine under the hood of this V-badged CT5 prototype. Cadillac is being coy with further details, saying only that these two vehicles "represent the next step in Cadillac's V-Series performance legacy." So we'll just have to wait for now. But in the meantime, feel free to peruse the images above and speculate in the comments below.
