1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible

1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible.  As new, 77 Miles! Window sticker on car.  (Color 52) Phoenician Ivory,  Original tires, belts, hoses, everything including fillers.  Museum history.  Just another one of the many stored as new 76 Eldorado Convertibles, but not just another one that was neglected as so many were with storage damage.  This is not another mom/pop throw in the garage and forget car here, a real survivor kept by a real car person.  I tend to stay away from 76s as they are a high production car .. but even with their high production, they really have a low survival %.  At least to high standards.  This one here is in the top % of good true originals, thus I could not say no to such an excellent example.

They called these cars the "last of the breed".   They were so "last" they built 14,000 of the darn things.  The highest production Eldorado Convertible of all times.  Probably more than any other car in the history of cars to date, these cars were saved as collectors items from new.  1976 was really kind of the start of the car collecting phenomena of buying a brand new car and saving them undriven from new.   Of course very few people knew how to store a car long term and the build quality of these cars were not exactly stellar either... Many thought it neat to buy a car and collect it at first but it soon got old quick with a large car in their garage with lawn mowers hitting it, kids bikes and more.  All the while the nice family station wagon (that would be rare today) was sitting in the driveway rotting away fast.  Because it got old fast, many "collectors" sold them in the first few years flooding the market with these things low mile so much it has carried over 35+ years later today.  However these cars have now earned their respect as collectors and have finally seen the values that GM thought they would have 30 years ago.... BUT only the few good ones.    So many 76s are low mile but so many have storage damage its not funny...   None of these cars really were worn out.... They were either weathered out or beaten to death from improper storage. 

Today 76 Eldorados are a true desired collector.   If a person has a diverse car collection, more than likely, a 76 Eldorado Convertible is in the mix.  These are not the rare year Eldorados like the RWD 53-66 Eldorado (2000 or under per year)  or an 84-85 Eldorado (2300 or under).  But even with so many saved from new and so many that are actual low mile cars, they are not as easy as the internet will have you think to find one that stood the test of time properly and is truly a good original.  Probably more of these cars were simply "wasted" because people all thought they had gold on their hands but they treated their gold like tin and neglected the heck out of the cars.

Anyway, a 76 Eldorado Convertible is a neat car.  It is a collectible car, it is a good looking car.   Rare they are not, but like this, you would have to take what you think you know to be perfect then put side by side to this car....  Only then can you understand. 

Again the car here is original down to the tires, fillers exhaust, belts, hoses, AC, everything.  The window sticker is on the car.  The body color caps just sets this car off so I put them on.  Of course I have the black set too.   As a redundant answer, the paint of course is 100% original and it is 100% in show condition.  No, they never were made that way, but this car has received polishing to its original lacquer paint and a high level of detail that leaves it looking about 40% better than the day it was made.  You have to start with a real good car to be able to do this to an original lacquer car and to do this was not one or two weekends but about 3 weeks of work!  No they never looked this good new, yet this is still 100% original!

The famous " not be repeated, best for last"  brochure.  Not sure I will agree this is the best Eldorado built, I think 66, 71 and 72 are better years, but hey these are really good cars of course!

However, this example is certainly one of the finest you will ever see and I see 100s of "low mile" 76 eldorados every year only to pass them by.

Recharge Wrap-up: LA Auto Show may feature updated Cadillac ELR, Uber expands Chicago HQ

Tue, Sep 30 2014

A Kentucky man has converted his 1939 Dodge pickup to an electric vehicle. Al Gajda of Lexington built the electric truck, which he now uses as his daily driver. "I take advantage of any excuse to drive it; just banging around town, errands, short runs on the interstate, delivering my granddaughter to school in the morning," he says. It is powered by a lithium-ion phosphate battery, which is mounted in a wooden box on the truck bed, and gets about 100 miles per charge. Read more at the Lexington Herald-Leader.

Of the 2,600 Rav4 EVs to be produced, there are probably just a few hundred left to be sold, most of which are likely to be gone by the end of October. Read more at Inside EVs.

Cadillac Escalade driven by Tony Soprano for sale

Fri, Nov 6 2015

If you're a fan of The Sopranos imagining a trip to the Bada Bing, then check out this white 2003 Cadillac Escalade ESV for sale by RR Auction. James Gandolfini drove this luxury SUV in the role of Tony Soprano for the last three seasons of the mafia-themed series. Gandolfini also signed the interior to give you something to show off to your buddies. If you've ever watched the show, you've almost certainly seen this white SUV before. According to the auction listing, the series featured two Escalades, and this one was used for exterior shots. The Caddy even starred in an action scene in season 5 when Tony chased after Phil Leotardo. Gandolfini's signature appears inside twice: once with "Thanks for the truck, James Gandolfini" and again with just his name. The auction also includes a letter of authenticity that's signed by the actor, and a second document asserts the SUV's use in the series. Apparently, Gandolfini had a habit of signing messages in his vehicles from the show – at one point he wrote a threatening "Be nice to my car" message in a red Chevrolet Suburban from earlier episodes. The auction for Tony's Escalade runs from November 12-19, which still leaves plenty of time for a meeting of the families to decide to buy it. Bidding starts at $5,000, and according to The Drive, the consignor estimates a final price between $30,000 and $50,000. This sale should at least come to a more definitive end than The Sopranos did.
