It's getting harder and harder to find examples of these Classic Cadillacs with this type of low mileage. This is a 46,000 mile 2 owner example of the Classic Cadillac Seville, the first personal sized Cadillac built to be more like the European sedans of the time while still keeping all the touches that make a Cadillac what it is. The result was this beautiful car here.

This Cadillac was purchased by the last owner in 1985 as a lightly used car. It was driven for several years as daily transport along with several other cars he had. During this time, the owner started a large collection of Classic and special interest cars featuring the Cadillac Marque.   When this car was retired from daily use, he kept it as another low mileage car in his collection, only disposing of it this year along with a large number of other cars.

This car has a geniune 46,000 miles and it shows. The chrome, interior, engine bay and details are very nice and have been detailed recently to really bring out the quality of this car.   While in storage, the car was regularly started and occasionally driven, however, it will need at least thoruogh service and tires to be driven any distance. It runs great and drives quietly and comfortably. There are no bad engine noises, smoke etc. and the transmission and brakes perform as they should.

Cosmetically it is in good shape and while not perfect, presents well and has a good lustre. The car has been painted at sometime in its past, and while good looking and shiny, the paint has some imperfections, knicks and scratches, etc. It could use a good detail, or finish to your own desire of perfection.

The interior is all original and looks great. The leather is soft and in good shape as is the rest of the inside including the carpet, panels and headliner. Furthermore, the trunk liner and mat/spare tire cover are all in good shape and look great.

Overall, if you are looking for a very nice low mileage driver that you can finish to your requirements, this could be your car! While not perfect, it is hard to find such a nice example, especially in this price range.

Terms: This car must be paid for within 5 days of auction end.   Buyer is responsible for shipping, however, I can help arrange with a friend of mine at a substantial discount. Example $550 to Southern California. Sold as is where is with no guarantees or warranty. I reserve the right to end the auction early. It is also for sale locally.

Junkyard Gem: 1998 Cadillac Catera

Wed, Dec 14 2016

A decade or so after Ford tried to swipe some US-market sales from European luxury marques by selling the German-built Ford Scorpio with Merkur badging, General Motors opted to sell the German-built Opel Omega luxury sedan as a Cadillac. The Catera was a reasonably nimble rear-wheel-drive sedan with a 200-horse DOHC V6 engine, and its badge-engineered nature made it a much less costly gamble than, say, the Cadillac Allante, which had its bodies built in Italy and flown to Michigan for assembly. Unfortunately, it had no manual transmission option, and Americans who remembered the miserable US-market Opels of the 1970s were put off by the Catera's Opelness. Its $29,995 list price was quite a bit cheaper than that of the (slightly less powerful) $39,800 BMW 528i and a bit less than the (slightly more powerful) $33,585 Acura 3.2 TL's cost, but the Catera didn't sell in large numbers. This one made it to a respectable mileage figure, and the nice interior shows that it was well-cared-for during its 18 years on the road. The ads for the Catera featured a cartoon duck named Ziggy. Fast, fun, fiendishly flexible! By 2000, Cadillac had ditched the duck and was touting the Catera's value. Related Video:

Cadillac HQ has a New York address

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

The new home of Cadillac will be in the 330 Hudson building in New York City's Hudson Square, putting the luxury marque smack dab in the middle of three of the city's hippest areas, SoHo, Greenwich Village and Tribeca.
The announcement is yet another milestone in the company's controversial decision to relocate administrative and marketing operations away from Detroit and into the Big Apple.
"The addition of a headquarters office in New York is a key step in Cadillac's ongoing global expansion," Cadillac boss Johan de Nysschen said, according to The Detroit Free Press. "There is no better atmosphere in which to better immerse ourselves into luxury consumer and brand expertise."

Seventies super-salesman challenges new car-sales record

Wed, Feb 21 2018

Some of the fondest memories from my youth were the Sunday afternoons spent walking between rows of new and used cars. This preceded the advent of widely available internet, so the cars didn't sell themselves online: A tentative buyer had to come see the cars in the metal, with old-school salesmen taking well-earned smoke breaks after putting someone behind the wheel of a new Saab 900. All-inclusive subscription services were unheard of. If you open a Guinness records book and look up car salesmen, you'll find Joe Girard. The definitely old-school Detroit salesman regularly sold over 1,000 new cars per year, with a particular high point of 1,425 cars in 1973 guaranteeing him a mention in the Guinness book. To reach that kind of sales figure, you had to be a pretty special salesman, and Girard was. He didn't take breaks unless absolutely necessary, and even his lunch hours were dedicated to selling more cars instead of shooting the breeze with other sales persons. By 1977 he was worn through, having sold over 13,000 cars in his career, and his physique couldn't take it anymore. He's been a motivational speaker since. Now, 44 years later, a Dearborn, Mich., Cadillac and Chevrolet salesman named Ali Reda has reportedly broken Girard's record. The books at Les Stanford Chevrolet Cadillac say Reda sold 1,530 new cars and 52 used cars in 2017, averaging 130 vehicles per month. But after Girard, 89, heard of the sales record, he called his attorney, not letting his record be broken without a fight — or at least an audit. The Dearborn dealer isn't too concerned about Girard's doubts, at least according to Gary Stanford, whose father founded the dealership. "It's very official, trust me," said Stanford to the Detroit Free Press. "Ali is the hardest worker I've ever seen. And if someone doesn't believe the data, well, they're more than welcome to consult with GM. It's all there in black and white." What Girard doesn't get is that Reda was honoring him with the accomplishment. "I read his book, 'How to Sell Anything to Anybody,' and it said it would teach you how to become the best," said Reda, who at age 44 was a newborn when Girard hit his peak. "He's an absolute legend in the industry. Your whole career, you're chasing his name.
