1976 CADILLAC ELDORADO CONVERTIBLE

"....LAST OF THE GREAT CONVERTIBLES...."

THIS CAR IS A SURVIVOR, WITH ONLY +-26,000 MILES IT WAS OBVIOUSLY LOVED BY ITS PREVIOUS OWNERS. TOP FUNCTIONS GREAT, ALL POWER WINDOWS WORK. RADIO AND EIGHT TRACK PLAYER WORK WELL (SMALL COLLECTION OF 8 TRACK TAPES INCLUDED). DRIVES PRETTY MUCH AS NEW, FLOATS DOWN THE ROAD AND WANDERS JUST LIKE YOU WOULD EXPECT A CAR OF THIS ERA TO DO. POWER TRUNK PULL DOWN AND REMOTE RELEASE WORK PERFECTLY. ALL GLASS IS GOOD. CHROME IS SHINY, AND TIRES ARE ABOUT 75%. INTERIOR AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES IS PRETTY MUCH PERFECT, NEEDS MINOR CLEANING BUT OTHERWISE AS NEW. CAR HAS BOTH HARD AND SOFT BOOT. WHEEL COVERS ORIGINAL. BRAKES ABOVE 60%, DISC BRAKES FRONT AND REAR. ENGINE RUNS GREAT, WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THE CADILLAC DEALER HAD JUST REPLACED THE QUADRA-JET CARB. NO LEAKS EVIDENT ANYWHERE. CAR WAS UNDERCOATED WHEN NEW AND STILL MAINTAINS ALL OF THE PRODUCT WHICH IN RETURN HAS PRESERVED THE UNDERSIDE FROM THE ELEMENTS. NEWER LOOKING EXHAUST (UNSURE OF WHEN OR IF REPLACED). POWER SEATS WORK LIKE NEW. DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS ARE DAMAGE FREE AS ARE THE SEATS. ALL LIGHTS WORK INCLUDING TWILIGHT SENTINEL AND AUTO DIMMING BRIGHT HEADLAMPS.

OF COURSE THIS CAR IS ALMOST 40 YEARS OLD, SOME THINGS COULD USE A LITTLE HELP. THE RADIO ANTENNA WORKS, BUT IS JUST BEGINNING TO NOT RETRACT ALL THE WAY. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO WORK, NOT SURE IF IT IS SWITCH OR MISTAKE WHEN NEW CARB WAS INSTALLED. A/C BLOWS BUT IS NOT COLD, HAVE NOT INVESTIGATED, MAY JUST NEED CHARGED - NOT SURE. RADIO WORKS BUT THE SPEAKERS SOUND AS THOUGH THE BASS CONES MAY BE DAMAGED. TOP FUNCTIONS COMPLETELY BUT THE MATERIAL IS ORIGINAL TO THE CAR, THEREFORE IT SHOULD BE REPLACED AS THERE ARE TWO SMALL HOLES IN THE DRIVER REAR AND THE STITCHING IS BEGINNING TO DETERIORATE FROM AGE. PAINT APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL AND IS THEREFORE BEGINNING TO WEAR THIN ON SOME OF THE SHARPER EDGES AND HOOD/TRUNK ARE STARTING TO SHOW AGE. APPEARS THAT BUMPER FILLERS FRONT AND REAR WERE REPLACED AT SOME TIME BUT ARE LIKE NEW. CARB SEEMS TO NEED ADJUSTED AS CAR OCCAISIONALLY STALLS BUT FIRES RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN.

THIS CAR IS A VERY NICE  HONEST DRIVER, NOT A BARRETT-JACKSON "STUPID" TYPE RESTORATION.

WINNING AT LOCAL SHOWS, CRUISING DOWN THE BOULEVARD, HAVING A BLAST WITH THE FAMILY....ALL THESE THINGS THIS CAR WOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE IMMEDIATELY. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PROJECT TO TAKE TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND GIVE IT A "STUPID" RESTORATION THIS CAR IS A GREAT MONEY SAVING STARTING PLACE.

MILEAGE MAY VARY FROM LISTING AS THE CAR IS STILL BEING ENJOYED WHEN POSSIBLE.

Cadillac recalls ELR coupe over stability control problems

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

Cadillac is recalling about 656 2014 ELR models made between September 26, 2013 and February 14, 2014, because of a fault with the electronic stability control system. On cars without adaptive cruise control, it's possible that diagnostics could prevent the system from telling the driver if ESC is on or off.
Cadillac has a software fix ready and repairs begin on April 17. Alan Adler, General Motors' recall and legal spokesperson, tells Autoblog that only about 55 of the affected cars are in the hands of owners. The rest are either on dealer lots or still at the factory. There have been no reported injuries or crashes caused by the fault.
The correction for the stability control system involves a software recalibration of the electronic brake control module that takes around 20 minutes to perform. While they use the same platform, the Chevrolet Volt isn't involved in this recall because it "uses a different a brake control module," said Adler.

GM recalls Chevy Impala, Cadillac XTS for braking problem

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

Back in April, General Motors launched an investigation into braking issues affecting the 2014 Chevy Impala. Now there's a recall of both the Impala and the Cadillac XTS with which it shares its Epsilon II platform.
The issue apparently revolves around the electronic parking brake, which may not properly disengage. As a result, the rear brake pads could rub the rotor even while the vehicle is in motion, causing "significant heat, smoke and sparks." The earlier investigation had been launched following a complaint regarding the forward collision avoidance system, which is now either appears to have been unrelated or possibly a symptom of this larger issue.
The recall affects 2013-15 XTS models manufactured between February 14, 2012, and August 22, 2014, as well as 2014-15 Impalas manufactured between January 15, 2013, and August 22, 2014. The total number of affected vehicles reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration comes to precisely 132,921 units, while The Detroit News reports a higher total of 205,000 units - the difference potentially coming down to the scope within the US and more broadly across North America. Dealers will contact owners to update the software in order to fix the problem.

Weekly Recap: Car-pedestrian crashes remained elevated in 2014

Sat, Feb 28 2015

The death of American Horror Story: Freak Show star Ben Woolf served as a reminder this week that car crashes involving pedestrians remain a problem, and a new study issued on Thursday reinforced that the situation isn't really getting better. The Governors Highway Safety Association found a slight decline, 2.8 percent, in the number of pedestrian deaths in the first six months of 2014. Fatalities dropped from 2,141 to 2,125 compared with the same period in 2013, though the association says it's a statistical wash when factoring in undercounting. Deaths are still 15-percent higher than in 2009. "The number of deaths remains relatively high and is cause for concern," wrote Allan Williams, who compiled the report and is the former chief scientist at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This is the first look at data from last year, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will issue its full-year results later. The GHSA found some progress on the roadways, as 24 states and the District of Columbia reported drops in pedestrian deaths. In some states, the problem isn't even a problem at all: Nebraska and Wyoming reported one fatality apiece, though large population centers in urban areas are where most accidents occur. "This is a clearly a good news, bad news scenario," Jonathan Adkins, GHSA executive director, said in a statement. "While we're encouraged that pedestrian fatalities haven't increased over the past two years, progress has been slow." Other News & Notes Cadillac previews CT6 during Oscars Cadillac previewed its upcoming flagship sedan, the CT6, in commercials that aired Sunday during the Oscars. As expected, the creased sedan carries on Cadillac's recent design language, and the car in the commercial looks like a larger version of the CTS and ATS sedans. The CT6 will be revealed this spring at the New York Auto Show and launch late this year. It will be assembled at General Motors' Detroit-Hamtramck factory on a rear-wheel-drive chassis, and the CT6 is the first car to use Cadillac's revised alpha-numeric naming scheme. The commercials also kicked off Cadillac's "Dare Greatly" campaign, which is the first with its new advertising agency, Publicis Worldwide. Honda unexpectedly changes CEOs Honda unexpectedly announced this week that it will change CEOs. Current chief Takanobu Ito will step down in June and be replaced by company veteran Takahiro Hachigo.
