I am the second owner of this saved 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe.  The 1st owner after replacing a leaking windshield had it to leak again,  so he bought a new car,  built a 2"x12"  lumber wooden crate and stored this 76 Eldorado  in his heated RV Bldg. from 1968 until I bought it in 2012.  The windshield has sealed itself over time.  The yellow leather is soft and clean, and the headliner and sun visors are in very great shape without any holes in them. The carpet has some small stains that may come out with soap and water, but I haven't tried that yet.  All the glass is nice.  The yellow paint is drivable but needs repaint or touchup to be perfect.  The padded top has some small cracks in the surface and some small rust stains at chrome lines. The chrome band that trims behind the back glass has popped a plastic connecter, so the trim has popped up and apart, but isn't broken.  There is no broken trim anywhere. The trunk has a solid floor, the trunk lid has typical surface rust at the drip edge that you can see in trunk pictures.  It needs to be sanded  and repainted. A tree limb blew onto the once  perfect body and as you can see in two pictures, it put two small dents in it, one the left fender and one in the hood.  The plastic bumper filler on all four corners have cracked and I removed them thinking that I would get some new ones, they are remanufactured for replacement.  The low mileage 500ci engine, after having the oil changed and using clean gasoline cranked up right away and ran good.  I pulled the valve covers, cleaned the covers, cleaned the rocker arm assembles by taking them and the pushrods out and cleaning them thoroughly.  The water pump was leaking, so I pulled the pump off and replaced it with a new one.  I cleaned all the pulleys, braces, radiator, new hose, and painted the metal components
Cadillac blue before installing them.  The nice nostalgic CB unit and gear are still mounted to left of the steering wheel.  The lights and gauges all work including the interior lamps.  The front grill is all complete without any damage  The car starts, runs but can't be driven far, because the tires are old and 2 won't hold air for over a day.  Needs new set of tires  There is still a water leak under the engine area and I can't do the work anymore which is the reason for selling the car.  I have developed a serious muscle and nerve disorder that won't let me get up and down or use my hands very well.  I got a new Texas title in my name, got new Texas plates when I bought it.  The catalytic convertor is good, but needs a new muffler.  If I had stayed in good health, I would complete this beautiful 1976 model, but I would be pleased to get some of my investment back, good luck bidding if you also like this body style.  I have shipped  a car before with a hauler just 100 miles away and he is fair.  I could get you in touch with his office if you need a hauler, and I will do what I can to answer other question, just send me a note through my listing on e-bay.  call 325-201-4710 cell,  Jerry  located 100 miles west of Fort Worth near Abilene, Texas

Reuss says GM diesel plans are still on pace

Fri, Oct 16 2015

General Motors is not going to let Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal ruin its plans for a new line of efficient, torquey oil-burners, the company's Executive Vice President Mark Reuss said at a recent press event. "No way," Reuss responded when asked about cancelling the upcoming diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles. "The Cruze Diesel is too good not to do it." Slated for 2017, the compact is just the latest member of a diesel offensive that initially kicked off with the first Cruze Diesel and most recently saw the introduction of the oil-burning Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. Reuss also reassured those in attendance that there was "no delay" in development of Cadillac's diesel lineup. Cadillac is working on a line of four- and six-cylinder turbodiesels for Europe. They'd make their way into the US market, too, eventually. "It's a question of timing," Reuss said, according to Car and Driver. Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has caused automakers across the globe to at least reanalyze their diesel strategy. Jaguar Land Rover, which is preparing several diesel-powered models for the US market, went on record late last month to reaffirm its commitment to diesel.

Cadillac SRX likely to see next-gen built in China

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Here's some shocking news to no one: People love crossovers, including those living in China. Since introducing the Cadillac SRX there in 2009, the model's sales have gone through the roof. Now, the brand is considering moving some production of the next-generation model in China to eliminate import tariffs and make it an even bigger player in the market.
According to a recent report in The Wall Street Journal, the crossover is leading Cadillac's Chinese growth, despite its US-equivalent price of over $67,000 after the country's high import tariffs. The CUV's sales are up 23 percent there so far this year, and it's responsible for over 40 percent of the brand's sales. John Stadwick, General Motors' VP of sales, service and marketing in China, told the WSJ that GM could "very possibly" build the next-gen model there.
The SRX is Cadillac's golden goose in China, and it just keeps pushing the brand's sales forward. "It's the vehicle that took us out of being a small niche in the market," said David Caldwell, Cadillac Communications Manager, to Autoblog. Before the CUV, Caddy was selling a little over 20,000 cars a year there, but partially thanks to the crossover's success, the brand sold 50,000 vehicles last year and could reach 60,000 this year. "The SRX is the most popular Cadillac in that market," he said.

Cadillac boss: We will have diesels

Tue, Aug 18 2015

Johan de Nysschen doesn't usually mince words about his plans, and the Cadillac boss says that diesel-fueled models are on the horizon for the luxury brand in the US by the early 2020s. The four- and six-cylinder engines under development would launch first in Europe about 2019. "We will definitely bring them to the US," de Nysschen said during a press event, according to Automotive News. Unfortunately, the Cadillac president isn't saying which models would get the diesels, yet. This plan has been in the works for at least several months, and Cadillac made mention of the two oil-burners earlier this year during the unveiling of its new V6 engine. De Nysschen broached the possibility during an interview at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, and he also referred to the inclusion of hybrids and plug-ins into the company's lineup at that time. Last year, a rumor suggested the addition of a V6 turbodiesel into the Escalade range. There were also rumblings of an oil-burning ATS during that model's launch. While Cadillac is no stranger to offering diesels in Europe, the decision to develop these new ones could come at an inopportune time. Governments there are rapidly moving against the fuel in favor of electrification. Tighter emissions regulations could also be on the way for the EU. Related Video:
