This is a smoke-free automobile. There is no damage evident on this vehicle. The exterior condition of this vehicle shows that it was and has been garaged. The engine on this vehicle is running properly. This vehicle has no known mechanical defects. The mileage represented on this vehicle is accurate.  This vehicle has a smooth shifting transmission. The interior of this vehicle is clean.

For sale, this 1976 Eldorado Cadillac convertible I bought from my uncle in Missouri who kept it in his garage for decades. I've kept in a garage in DC for 3 years. I have to part with it because with a new baby, my automotive baby must go (only room for one). Just bought new tires as of 8/29/2014. Please keep in mind that no 38 year-old used vehicle is perfect, nonetheless, this car is fantastic.  You want to feel fantastic driving a clean and great running classic, this is it.  Now is your chance.  It is priced to move.  Do not let this get away.

I have driven it about 200 miles (mostly to the airport). For a 38 year-old this car looks beautiful. It turns heads. It can make a bad day into fun day. It is one of those cars. 

Condition: It is a used car. Over all the body looks great. Most people are surprised to learn how old it is. I had a professional mechanic replaced the front and back body fillers, brakes, brake rotor and several hoses.  Goss' Garage (of Motorweek fame) put on brand new tires and gave it an oil change on Aug. 30, 2014.  An employee at Goss' told me several people asked if the car was for sale.  Yep, it is a gem.  More pictures & videos available upon request; I'll need you email address to send them to you.

The convertible roof retracts.  I can send you a video proving this point.  The rear window is plastic.  No floor mats.  Driver's seat has a slightly noticeable flattening.  Please ask if you have any question.

All that's missing is you in the drivers seat.

I welcome pre-buy inspection at a mutually agreeable time. The car is garaged in Northwest Washington, DC.

Cadillac toned down ATS Coupe design due to customer feedback [w/poll]

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

Automakers always face a difficult decision when it comes to styling their cars. Design them too blandly and nobody will get excited about them. But style them too aggressively and they'll often end up turning off potential buyers.
Cadillac, for its part, is no stranger to aggressive design, but when it came to the new ATS Coupe, it elected to tone things down a bit. Speaking with The Detroit News in a wide-ranging interview, Cadillac design director Bob Boniface revealed that the original design for its compact coupe was edgier - closer to that of the CTS Coupe - with a wedgier profile, a more steeply raked beltline and a more severe grille. But potential customers surveyed in clinics apparently didn't like it. They found it looked heavy, inefficient and not fun to drive. So Boniface and his team literally went back to the drawing board and "took as much visual mass out of the car as [they] could." The resulting coupe, while handsome, looks far more similar to its four-door companion than did Cadillac's CTS.
What do you think, does the new ATS Coupe look just right, or is it too conservative? Voice your opinion in our quick online poll.

2016 Cadillac ATS-V blasts into LA

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

The first details about the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V recently hit the web ahead of the official debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Now, the latest model to wear Caddy's high-performance V moniker is officially official, and the specs are even better than initial rumors suggested.
The latest figures actually give the ATS-V a hair more power than first believed, with 455 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque pumping out of the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6. With a standard electronic limited-slip differential keeping rear wheels in check, Cadillac claims that the model sprints to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 185 mph. Buyers have two transmission choices that both offer launch control: a six-speed manual featuring Active Rev Match and no-lift shifting, or an eight-speed automatic.
Thoroughly revised suspension and braking systems should also mean that the ATS-V excels at more than just going in a straight line. The chassis itself receives extra bracing to boost overall stiffness by 25 percent over lesser ATS models. On top of that, a host of suspension upgrades front and rear, including third-generation Magnetic Ride Control dampers, mean quicker steering response and a tighter ride. Plus, Brembo six-piston calipers up front and four-pistons in the rear should bring rapid deceleration. To tune it all to the driver's whim, the Performance Traction Management system gives five settings to choose from for stability and traction control.

2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6 AWD

All-Wheel, All Right
There is no escaping the luxury all-wheel drive empire Audi has built for itself over the past 15 years. While nearly every high-end marque has at least one offering with power at all four corners, the hardware can't help but play second fiddle to Ingolstadt's Quattro kingdom. Leather-lined all-wheel drive is simply Audi the way minimum wage is an English degree. But General Motors seems hell-bent on raiding as many established fiefdoms as possible with the 2013 Cadillac ATS. Engineers and designers made no secret of the fact that the baby Cadillac was penned specifically to take on the BMW 3 Series, but Audi should be no less concerned about the newest luxury prince from Detroit.
GM has been stuffing all-wheel drive systems under their vehicles for years, but the effort hasn't come without nasty side effects. Unfortunate understeer, extra ride height, smallish wheels and porky curb weight meant opting for all-wheel drive was like signing your driving pleasure's death warrant. Would you like polished brass or brushed nickel hardware for your right foot's coffin, sir?
