This is a very rare 1979 Seville Elegante. If you like the first series of Caddy Sevilles, the Elegante is the one to have. It has Two-Tone paint, special perforated Leather & Suede seats, a center console with "secretary" stationary table and several other nice touches not found on lesser model Sevilles. The Elegante package was a nearly $3k option when new...... I bought this car a couple of years ago and just put it in my collection in Kansas, where it has sat until 2 weeks ago when I had it shipped out to Cali. I don't know much about the history of the car as I purchased it from a broker out of NY. It would appear to have new paint, new carpet, upholstery, and tires. the headliner is good, but the material looks "thin"..The door panels are good with minor wear on drivers door panel, but nothing more than a little wear on armrest. The dash is good. the paint is very shiny, I don't know how old it is. It is NOT show quality, it is a very good driver quality paint, put on very thick for my standards. Some minor cracking in paint just below rear window trim. The chassis has ZERO rust, some new suspension bushings, and appears to have never been damaged. The chrome on the car is good, some minor pitting here and there as its a 35yo car, but again, VERY NICE LOOKING. The engine is an Olds 350 to my knowledge, and has been converted to a 4-barrel carb at some point. It starts, runs good, doesn't leak ANY fluids, but I'd recommend a full tune up and fluid changes before putting it back on the road.....The wheels are Caddy wire hubcaps, but the originals  should be Dayton wire spoke wheels, I do NOT have them, this is how I purchased the car. I was planning on doing a LSA engine swap into this car as a pro-touring sleeper. The RWD Seville is basically the same platform as a Chevy Nova, but with 4-wheel disk brakes and a few other nicer pieces (auto ride height).  This car would make a great addition to any collection, just needs to be properly brought back out of hibernation and enjoyed. Due to divorce forcing asset liquidation I must sell this car and several others shortly.  Girl in photos is the wife replacement, not included in sale :-)

Cadillac ATS failing to command BMW 3 Series-like pricing as hoped

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

The BMW 3 Series has long been the benchmark for small and sporty luxury vehicles, but the Cadillac ATS has come on strong in its short time on the market as a true rival in this segment. As impressive as Cadillac's new compact sedan is, however, Automotive News is reporting that the car is still lagging behind the 3 Series when it comes to actual transaction pricing.
According to the article, the average transaction price for the ATS is $39,459 while the 3 Series is at a much larger $44,764, but, just as importantly, Cadillac has about $500 more in incentives on the ATS compared to BMW. Transaction prices are much closer to cars like the Mercedes C-Class and Audi A4. Of course, this is all with the ATS trying to take on its small,sport sedan rivals with a single bodystyle and limited powertrain options compared to the numerous options available from the German automakers in this class.
This uneven battle won't last long, though, as recent spy shots have revealed that Cadillac is hard at work on a high-performance ATS-V and an ATS Coupe. No official word as to when either of these models will be unveiled, but with auto show season set to kick off, we're expecting sooner rather than later. The best news for the ATS is that the Automotive News says sales of the ATS are on target and that 74 percent of ATS buyers are new to Cadillac - two important factors for the brand as it tries to break into this tough segment.

Cadillac's Euro reboot may have implications for US models, sales

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Firmly on the comeback trail in the US, Cadillac is still trying to get out of the starting blocks in Europe. At the Geneva Motor Show in March, Cadillac' senior execs revealed plans to grow the brand's presence in a luxury market dominated by the big three German marques, Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
GM President Dan Ammann says he sees "enormous" potential for Cadillac globally.
Over the past 20 years, the General Motors premium nameplate has tried and failed multiple times to break into the European market. This time around, Cadillac recognizes that progress will be modest at best, and depends on specific changes to models, some of which may impact the brand's US lineup. Planned new sales tactics in Europe may also impact the way Cadillac does business on this side of the pond.
