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 ELR update delayed over autonomous drive systems issues
Fri, Nov 28 2014Rumors had been circulating that the 2016 Cadillac ELR would bow in Los Angeles recently, featuring, in Cadillac's own words, "engineering enhancements." The rumors and that quote are as far as it got – the updated ELR pulled a no-show in LA, and no one outside of the brand appears to know when it will appear. GM Inside News says its sources at Cadillac pinned the ELR's absence on some autonomous driving features not being ready to reveal. According to GMI, Cadillac insiders say the upgraded ELR will be a "highly autonomous vehicle," and the company needs more time to gets its systems polished. The site says "it's not unreasonable to assume that ELR will be [the] vehicle" that gets Cadillac's Super Cruise technology, but that seems a lot more involved than "engineering enhancements," and in September Cadillac said we'd see it sometime in the next two years. It's possible the wait for the 2016 ELR and its secrets might only be a couple of months: the next-generation Chevrolet Volt, which shares a platform with the ELR and whose engineering updates we know quite a bit about, is scheduled to appear at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in January.
2021 Cadillac CT5-V makes a few changes for its second year
Thu, Jul 9 2020An order guide for the 2021 Cadillac CT5-V reveals a number of small changes to the sedan's formula going into its second year on the market. Starting with the superficial, the $1,225 Red Obsession Tintcoat exterior color and the $625 CT5-V-exclusive Royal Spice Metallic depart after this model year. They'll be replaced by Infrared Tintcoat and another color exclusive to this model called Rift Metallic. Since all but Summit White and Black Raven are cost-option Premium hues, the new colors should be expected to add to the price. Materially, the interior finish spiffs up with better-quality Modena leather stitched around the steering wheel rim, and Senza leather on the wheel center.  Next year, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay will come standard, a promotion over the current wired systems. Getting around the infotainment screens will be easier thanks to a rotary dial that can slide laterally to choose menu items. The digital radio moves up to SiriusXM 360L, providing 4G streaming functionality. For the younger drivers in the family, the Teen Driver System will include Buckle to Drive. On the current CT5-V, the Navigation and Bose Premium Audio Package adds the Cadillac user experience with navigation, a 15-speaker Bose audio system, and an eight-inch configurable Driver Information Center display between the dash cluster gauges. For 2021, the eight-inch display is discontinued, so the package gains wireless phone charging. A new Technology Package replaces the current eight-inch DIC with a 12-inch configurable digital gauge cluster that sprouts a head-up display taken from the Driver Awareness Plus Package. The Technology Package will be included in the Platinum Package that right now costs $6,290, and that automatically adds the $4,190 Premium Package and $1,950 Driver Assist and Advanced Security Package. Based on current prices, the order guide indicates the Platinum Package will cost at least $12,430. Because of such bundling, the same package on the 2020 CT5-V 'roids up the MSRP by $13,730. Without ordering the Platinum Package, both the Navigation and Technology Packages will require the Premium Package.
