1974 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. 94,640 original miles!
Well I have never got as many looks in a vehicle before! A real show stopper. I am the second owner and vehicle has been stored the last 3 1/2 years. My current living situation does not allow for another vehicle so my project has to go. I paid $4500 for this car and put another $6800 into it. It still needs some love but when it is finished its going to be amazing. Only 7800 of these were built in 74. This one comes with the hard fiberglass parade boots as well! Drive great with a strong motor. Motor was rebuilt about 15K miles ago by the previous owner. 4500K miles ago the brakes,wheel barings, tye rods, electrical redone along with belt changes and a new radiator. At this time it was also painted this "speedboat" blue (kind of a blueish purple). Two years ago the starter and battery were replaced. This year I just put in a new convertible top motor. Had an appraisal done in Alberta Canada July 12 2007 that valued it at $15,000 (By Freelance Appraisal Group, Inc. Phillip Frank CPPA). I think that was being pretty kind as I have seen ones in better shape for less than that. Maybe Alberta has a huge demand for Eldy's of that vintage. I can make copies of the appraisal if need be and email you them if you request.

Here is what is not great:

-Transmission Fluid Leak from the Rear Pan. Just had it checked out ($145) and it would cost around $600 to fix this issue. I chose not to do so and just have kept an eye on the fluid.

-Convertible top frame needs some adjustment. I can get it up and down but it takes some effort and generally some help from a friend. I don't believe it would be a big issue for somebody that worked on convertible tops. But I sell beer for a living and i don't know what the heck I am doing!

-Seats are weathered a bit but have no tears or rips. Could probably just be re-dyed or seat covered.

-Door panels need to be re-upholstered.

-Weatherstripping could be re-done on windows and header

-Power windows all go up and down but sometimes need some help going up

-No antenna. Never had it when I bought it

-I had a CD player put in the glove box and I think the fuse blew on it but I can't get it out to check and I can't really be bothered. The unit is an Alpine

-The hood looks like it could use a new spring on the drivers side. Its not real noticeable but I want everything on the table.

-Air conditioning doesn't work. I guess it just needs a recharge but not certain on that one. Never really needed it with the top off.

-Cruise doesn't work either

This is pretty much what I know about the cars negatives. I would guess that it would take a few thousand dollars to make it look awesome. Or just someone who knew what they were doing!

Love this car. It is like driving a land yacht!

Any other questions please email me and I will try to answer them!

**Also has the original owners manual and shop manual for working on it!

Cadillac sales chief fired over policy violation

Sun, 21 Jul 2013

Amidst a good year for Cadillac, which is experiencing higher sales gains than any other US brand this year, the US sales chief has been fired over a policy violation, Automotive News reports.
The sales chief, Chase Hawkins, "has left effective immediately," GM spokesman David Caldwell told Automotive News. Caldwell went on to say that Hawkins' replacement would be chosen soon.
Hawkins became the US sales chief in June 2012, and before that was the regional sales director for Cadillac in the Northeast US, overseeing 168 dealerships.

Cadillac XT5 platform to underpin three-row crossover

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Cadillac just launched the XT5 crossover to replace the SRX. But that's only the start. Speaking with Automotive News, Caddy president Johan de Nysschen confirmed that a new three-row crossover is also on the way. The seven-seater is based on a stretched version of the flexible platform underpinning the XT5, which we just drove recently. Taking that approach will give the luxury brand a larger crossover to pit against the likes of the Infiniti QX60, Audi Q7, and Volvo XC90 without having to develop one from scratch. It will also give buyers a more car-like alternative to the larger, truck-based Escalade. "It's one of the benefits of having this very flexible architecture. We can expand it, make it longer and wider. That gives us the ability to develop the car very quickly, as opposed to starting from scratch," de Nysschen told AN. "It's not running yet. It is a program request that we initiated with the engineers only last year. They are working at remarkable, record-breaking speed to get us the car." The new model would likely be called the XT7 and offer similar levels of equipment to the existing, smaller XT5. The existing mid-size model packs a 3.6-liter V6 mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and comes in four trim levels. Related Video:

J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
