Cadillac 1976
The "compact" Cadillacs we simply cant help but love This is an amazingly beautiful condition Cadillac Seville whose immaculate and original presentation simply defies its mileage. It is a 2 previous owner car, always garage kept and a true credit to its owners for the loving and caring ownership given to her. She is finished in "Firethorn metallic" (2211) and "Antique Dark Firethorn" (712) leather interior.
It has its all original body, paint and chrome. All in excellent original condition and great presentation. The paint is mostly original with absolutely no signs of accident damage. There are some very minor imperfections here and there but the finish presents very well with a good shine. There is no rust in the body panels. It does present very well. Surprisingly, underneath the car is quite clean. It is currently part of a private collection and as such is professionally stored in a climate controlled showroom.
The leather interior is simply perfect without any signs of wear, marks, scratches or blemishes of any kind. The headlining is like new without any of the typical sagging of the fabric often seen on these cars. All finishes, chrome, faux wood, steering wheel and carpets present beautifully. It is truly very nice and sumptuously inviting. Even the steering column near the key, where it is normally scratched from even modest use, is entirely blemish free and looks like new. It was the virtual "new appearance" of the inside of the car that really attracted me when I bought her. She comes with her original Cadillac interior and trunk floor mats.
Everything works as it should – electric windows, seats, aerial, cruise control, auto & delay headlights, gauges and instruments. Heater blows toasty and A/C is ice cold.
Mechanically excellent with no oil leaks or exhaust leaks. Simply, an ultra-smooth highway cruiser that fires up first time, every time. You drive this car over the roughest of roads, or even a railway line, and it will glide over them better than any car of its era. She is simply amazing (see brief video). Brand new battery, good tyres and brakes and just great to drive. You won’t find a better priced semi-classic cruiser with all the creature comforts to drive this summer! She is STUNNING!
Please see the link to the photos which say it all:

only selling this car because I am space limited. If I had the choice, I would
keep her for sure. I will be a little sad to see her go. Brochures from the era - a true 70's icon design. The trunk is literally as new without a single mark! Space-saver tire never used. Will add engine photos tomorrow 6/25/14 Please be patient - it is as clean as the rest of the car! I realised after I took the photos that the hood was not latched
properly on the right side. It sits correctly in real-life

This Cadillac is part of a private collection. Although licensed and bonded, I am not a main-stream retail car dealer or broker; I am a professional car collector of some 30 years with considerable experience and knowledge of predominantly British cars. I simply love excellent condition cars of a wide variety and simply love cars! I take a lot of pride in my cars and have fun in collecting and restoring them. However, auctions are not a game so when you place a bid or offer, and you are the winning bidder, please understand you have entered a binding contract. You cannot bid and win the auction and expect not to meet the terms and conditions. Bidding and/or winning does not mean you are expecting me to “hold” the car until you have the opportunity to inspect it. Any inspection contemplated should be undertaken BEFORE you bid or make an offer and I openly welcome any potential buyer to come and personally inspect the car. Once you bid or make an offer, you are doing so to buy WITHOUT conditions. A $1000.00 deposit (non-refundable) is required within 24 hours of the close of the auction and payable by PayPal. The balance of funds are required within 7 days of the close of the auction and must be provided by cashier’s check or bank wire. I cannot accept PayPal for the balance unless you are willing to meet the cost of transfer fees. Full payment must be made (and payments cleared) before the title and/or the vehicle is released. All payments are non-refundable. Payments as described above form an important part of this purchase contract and so, if all the funds are not received as outlined above, I reserve the right to terminate the transaction without notice. If there has been any deposit or other part payments received and I elect to terminate the contract, I reserve the right to keep any such deposits or payments and resell the vehicle to another bidder or interested party or re-list the vehicle at any time. I am happy to assist with shipping arrangements on a national and worldwide basis but the winning bidder takes full responsibility for pickup and/or shipping and at his cost.
As a collector and experienced restorer of a variety of cars, I make every effort to bring my cars to a very high standard. Unless specifically stated, the car is not of show standard but of good quality "driver" condition. Please understand, the very nature of any classic car of any kind is such that it is not always possible to attend to every single item, or perhaps I may have inadvertently overlooked an item. Please note, fitted radio/stereo systems are usually subject to upgrade by purchasers so I do not ensure operation of these but simply keep the "original look". Further, a feature or function that is working perfectly one moment, may decide to play-up the next. After all, it is some 38 years old. For this reason it is necessary for the following condition:
The vehicle is being sold

be made on account of any incorrectness, unforeseen imperfection, defect or
damage. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have satisfied himself as
to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgment solely. The
seller shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known
defects at the buyer’s request prior to the close of the auction. Seller

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
Cadillac to move select offices from Detroit to Manhattan?
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Under Johan de Nysschen, Infiniti moved its headquarters from Yokohama, Japan, to Hong Kong. Now at Cadillac, it appears the company's new president could be planning a relocation of at least some of the brand's operations from Detroit to Manhattan, according to a new report from Reuters.
In the case of Infiniti, de Nysschen pushed for the move because moving away from the brand's Nissan overlords would allow it a bit more freedom. It's evidently a similar case for Cadillac, with Reuters speculating that such a move would help distance the brand from the corporate culture in Detroit. A Big Apple move could also attract new talent that may have considered a job with the brand but were put off by the idea of living in Detroit.
It's important to note that if such a move takes place, it likely won't affect the folks actually responsible for developing the brand's vehicles. Instead, administrative functions, including marketing, could be the focus of the relocation.
Daily Driver: 2016 Cadillac ATS-V Sedan
Tue, Oct 13 2015Daily Driver videos are micro-reviews of vehicles in the Autoblog press fleet, reviewed by the staffers that drive them every day. Today's Daily Driver features the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V sedan, reviewed by David Gluckman. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. And don't forget to watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Hey, it's David Gluckman with another Daily Driver. Today I'm driving a 2016 Cadillac ATS-V. This is the sedan model and it has the optional eight-speed automatic transmission. The ATS-V is the small performance car in Cadillac's lineup. It sits below the CTS-V, which is also new for 2016. Ever since the base ATS came out a few years ago, this has always been a wonderful chassis in search of a great engine to compliment it. This car really changes that. [00:00:30] They've dialed up the chassis, the suspension is a little stiffer, the body is even stiffer, and they've put this really nice 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 engine under the hood. In terms of power and torque, the new V6 outguns it's main bogey, the BMW M3 and M4. The Cadillac engine puts out 464 horsepower and 445 pound feet of torque, which is tons. [00:01:00] The one issue, though, is the way it delivers that power. It's not as smooth as the BMW and there's a bit of turbo lag that you really don't feel in the German engine. Once you get moving, however, this engine really just wakes up. There's no lag once you're at highway speed. You can floor it and there's plenty of power and torque for easy passes and runup to extra-legal speeds. [00:01:30] It's tons of fun there but around town it just kind of lacks a little bit of the smoothness and responsiveness that we're kind of expecting for a car in this class. The engine does sound pretty nice, though. It has this nice little growl when you start it up and when you get on it, it actually sounds more like a supercharged engine than a turbocharged one. It's a little strange, I think that's maybe some active noise cancellation that Cadillac is doing to cancel out the whooshes and whirs that we're used to from a turbocharger. [00:02:00] That's fine with me. Whatever it is, it sounds good. This car gets the same fancy rear limited-slip differential that the Corvette introduced a couple years ago. It does a really good job of keeping everything manageable. You almost can't tell that the car has 464 horsepower. It keeps everything in line.
