Offered for sale is my 59 Cadillac Eldorado that has undergone the most meticulous restoration with over 3500 hours of painstaking attention to detail. It is a numbers matching car with all of the power options that Eldorado's were known for including power windows, power door locks, power trunk release and pull down, power vent windows, 6 way seat, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, cruise control, power antenna, autronic eye, fog lights, Cadillac Q engine with tri power carbs, fully rebuilt air ride suspension. Every single part has been carefully cleaned and re-plated, re-upholstered, chromed, rebuilt, painted or polished to perfection. Nothing has been overlooked down to the smallest part that you cannot even see and I have tried to restore the car back to be totally original with a number of minor enhancements that cannot be detected unless I pointed them out. The car is currently registered, drives great and is a real head turner. I have receipts for over $230K so this gives you some idea of the extent of this incredible restoration. I have accumulated quite a collection of manuals, parts books, brochures, cd's etc, and a 5 layer car cover which will go with the car. If you are looking for the best, then you will not be disappointed. I have been asked several times about the materials used in the restoration and the differences that are unique to Eldo's. The interior leather is the correct Cardiff and Florentine grain metallic blue with the correct seat buttons. Gorgeous. The padded vinyl roof is the correct colour and grain Vicodec material as fitted from the factory. The headliner is the correct pattern vinyl in light blue with matching sun visors. The trunk area has the correct colour lining material for the padded floor mat as well as the sides and spare wheel cover. It even have the proper thatched material for the rear parcel shelf. That is a nice finishing touch. There are a few other Eldorado items to mention that are unique to Eldo's like the "lightning bolt" door lock knobs only for power door locks, rear trunk lip bar with the "Eldorado" script, 3 row rear grille, reversing light chrome "V"s, as well as the unique polished stainless side trim, and the Eldo only door trims that really look classy with the brushed stainless trim panels. These door trims have 3 courtesy lights in them, the rear one on the arm rest is red while the other 2 are the round white type and with the rear quarter panel lights, roof lights and dash light give 11 lights when the door is opened. It also has a 45 amp generator to keep the batter charged! Even the front seat is unique to Eldo's with chrome trim on the back and sides of the seat, along with map pockets and rear passenger knee pads. Other Eldo unique parts are the power brake pedal stainless trim and script, along with the stainless trim on the park brake pedal and the accelerator pedal. This is build number 216 out of a low total of 975 and first delivered to Fort Smith, Arkansas. I have the full build sheet details from Cadillac archives which lists every option that the car was built with and is very interesting. I can be contacted on +61 411 108 433 or email tpseddon@bigpond.net.au for any further information. Can assist with shipping if required. Well worth a look if you are serious and want the best. Vehicle is advertised elsewhere and may be withdrawn if sold prior to auction end. |

Cadillac Elmiraj sedan RWD flagship finally caught testing
Wed, 22 Jan 2014While we still have no insight as to it being named Elmiraj, STS or some other permutation of the -TS nomenclature ("LTS" has apparently been registered by GM, as well), new spy shots give us proof positive that Cadillac is indeed hard at work on a rear-wheel-drive flagship model. Spied for the very first time in some north country testing, these shots provide a first look at the upcoming range-topper from Cadillac.
Impressively long and large bodywork ride atop new General Motors' corporate Omega rear-drive architecture here. Heavy cladding over camouflage may discourage finding any details, but the overall, sharp-edged and blocky design is clearly reminiscent of what we've seen on the new CTS and the recently debuted ATS coupe. A strong, wheels-at-each-corner stance helps emphasize the length of this stretched Caddy, and everything about the proportions seem spot-on for a new fullsize flagship for the brand.
It's quite possible that Cadillac will ultimately festoon this large sedan with detailing reminiscent of the original Elmiraj coupe, though thus far we've only seen prototypes wearing four-doors.
President Trump's new limo spotted testing at high speed
Thu, May 25 2017What you're looking at is no ordinary limo. Look past the swirly camouflage and you'll see what appears to be a Cadillac, but don't let those looks fool you. This is the new Beast, otherwise known as Cadillac One, and codenamed by the Secret Service as Stagecoach. This is the car that will shuttle President Trump to and fro. It's hard to get a sense of scale from these images, but this car is huge. It's very likely built atop a heavy-duty truck platform, which is necessary due to the thick armor-like bodywork that's hermetically sealed to keep POTUS safe and sound. It's hard to tell for certain, but it appears this Beastie is riding on Goodyear Regional RHS II tires, which would otherwise be used on trucks and buses. Translation: this thing is heavy. The Beast is ostensibly badged as a Cadillac, and it wears the latest version of Caddy's corporate grille, badge, and upright headlamps at the front. From the rear, there's a hint of Rolls-Royce Phantom, with rear glass that tapers elegantly into the deck lid. In between is a massive slab-sided passenger compartment that's rumored to seat as many as seven passengers. These shots were snapped at GM's Milford Proving Grounds. It seems The Beast is undergoing some high-speed tests, though high-speed here is relative. Those Goodyears are only rated for 70 miles per hour or so, and we doubt the big 8.1-liter gasoline-fueled V8 engine is geared to push the President much faster than that, anyway. Related Video:
North American Car, Truck and SUV of the Year finalists revealed
Thu, Nov 17 2022The finalists for the 2023 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards were announced Thursday at the L.A. Auto Show. — The Acura Integra, Genesis Electrified G80 and Nissan Z made the cut in the car category. — The Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Lordstown Endurance advanced in trucks. — And the Cadillac Lyriq, Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6 advanced among utilities. The winners will be announced Jan. 11 in Detroit. The finalists underscored the industryÂ’s shift to electric vehicles, as all three utilities and two of the three trucks are EVs. The finalists were culled from a list of 26 semifinalists made up of three trucks, 10 cars and 16 utility vehicles that are new this year. Notables that missed the cut include the Mercedes EQE, Subaru WRX and Toyota GR Corolla in cars; while the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Rivian R1S were among the utes that did not advance. The three trucks are the only ones eligible this year and have advanced through the voting. 50 jurors who work for media outlets across North America vote three times over the course of the year to whittle down the field, which was originally 47 vehicles. Jurors also test the semifinalists at an October group event in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Honda Civic (car), Ford Maverick (truck) and Ford Bronco (utility vehicle) were the 2022 winners.
