1954 Cadillac Eldorado with Wind Wings

I am now listing the second 1954 Eldorado from the barn estate that I recently purchased. I was going to keep this car to restore it but it must go. I believe that this is an excellent car to restore. It has the extremely rare wind wings, which are flat pieces of glass on either side of the windshield. Most people that are seeking this car are after this option because it seems to be only on early production cars for that model year. This car was originally white and the data tag shows it as an early production car. This car has a pristine fiberglass hard boot, which was only available on Eldorados. This was number 111 of the 2150 Eldorados produced in 1954.

The family that I purchased this car from told me that the car was purchased in San Antonio, Texas. We have receipts here from as early as 1963, and registrations from as early as 1960. This car along with the other 1954 Eldorado was driven into the barn around 1985, and that is the last sticker on the license plate. I have extensive documentation and owner history on this car.

Here are some bullet points about the car:

Correct black steel floor mats for a 1954 Eldorado.
Original tag on the cowl and door jamb.
Both headlight bezels included.
Motor is locked up from long storage.
All Eldorado specific trim included, except for the gold crest on the top of both doors.
Four Sabre wheels with center caps and coronas included.
The lower rear rockers behind the back wheels are rusty.
Trunk is solid.
There is a rust hole by where the left rear passenger's feet would be.
Very solid with no rust under the convertible back seat.
Convertible is in usable condition for a driver.
Correct wiper arms.
Extra rear center section for the bumper will be included as the one on the car is dented in the center.
Excellent rear bumper ends with no rot or damage.
Jack and spare tire included.
Excellent top frame.
There is some damage on the fenders as well as the driver's door that can be fixed.
Nice front windshield.
Excellent chassis.
The original owner or dealer added air condition.
Immaculate sun visors, which are key to a 1954 Eldorado.
It is truly worthy of a restoration, but will require effort. Some have sold for over $100k at auction.

Worldwide shipping can be arranged. We have a Cadillac salvage yard here specializing in 1950-1964. If there are any parts would like included with the car, please call me to discuss. We can also store this car for you until Hershey or Carlisle. Please inquire.

GM admits Cadillac ELR no real competition for Tesla Model S

Fri, Aug 15 2014

Last year, then-CEO of General Motors, Dan Akerson, made it clear that the company lookouts at the Ren Cen had California automaker Tesla in their sights. "If you want to compete head-to-head with Tesla, and we ultimately will, you want to do it with a Cadillac," he said. So, given the fact that the Cadillac ELR has a plug and sells for roughly the same price at the Tesla Model S ($75,000 vs $69,900, before incentives) and that Cadillac doesn't have any other electric vehicle on the horizon, you'd be forgiven if you thought that the way that Akerson wanted to challenge Tesla's EV success was with the ELR. Well, you'd apparently be wrong. "The ELR is a different car, it's a different price point. It's way-different technology." - GM's Mark Reuss Speaking yesterday in Detroit, GM's head of global product development, Mark Reuss, admitted that the ELR is not the Tesla competitor that Akerson promised. "People like to say the ELR is [competition for the Model S], but it's really not. It's a different car, it's a different price point. It's way-different technology." So, if we follow that logic to conclusion with Akerson's quote from last year, then the only way that Cadillac can eventually compete with Tesla is with a pure electric car, and that seems an outside chance, at best, for the foreseeable future. Through the end of July, Cadillac has sold 578 ELRs since it went on sale earlier this year. Tesla doesn't break out monthly US sales, but has sold 15,114 Model S EVs around the world in the first six months of 2014. For his part, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has already said that GM is headed down the wrong path with plug-in hybrids like the ELR or the Chevy Volt. Speaking about the Volt last year, Musk said, Chevy "sort of created something that's a bit of amphibian," which resulted in a car that's, "Okay but not great."

2015 Cadillac Escalade configurator lets you bling it your way

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

It's Friday, so there must be a new configurator to play with. While last week we showed you how to build your own McLaren 650S, today's ride is a bit more common. It's the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, a vehicle that you've been able to colorize since the end of last year, and which is sure to be an increasingly common sight on US roads in the coming months.
For those that have played with the build-your-Caddy tool, there's not much new here, aside from the vehicle being configured. The Escalade is available in three trims and two wheelbases, with prices spanning from the SWB, two-wheel-drive Standard, which starts at $72,690, on to the all-wheel-drive, long-wheelbase ESV Premium, which kicks off at $86,790. The options list, meanwhile, isn't hugely extensive. A rear-seat entertainment system and power-retractable side-steps (only available on the Premium trim) are the two notable options, while customers will have their choice of six exterior paints and two to three interior schemes, depending on the trim level.
Hop on over to Cadillac's consumer page and take a look.

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe configurator is ready to get personal

Wed, 17 Sep 2014

If you are in the market for a luxury coupe but would prefer it to be American, then you are in luck because the configurator for the 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe is now online.
Prices for the Cadillac start at $38,990 (including the $995 destination fee) for the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 272 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, or $46,145 for the 321-hp, 275-lb-ft 3.6-liter V6. Gearbox options include a six-speed manual on some 2.0 models or a six-speed automatic on both of them, and they can be ordered with all-wheel drive for $2,450 to the four-cylinder or $2,600 to the 3.6.
One thing that Cadillac does especially well here is giving customers a plethora of models and options to choose from. Trim level choices include standard, luxury, performance and premium for the four-cylinder or luxury, performance and premium for the V6. There are also 10 colors available, five of which carry an extra premium of $495 or $995. Upgraded interior packages for $1,295 add improved trim and leather, as well.
