Well cars like this one just don’t come around every day, and the good ones are super hard to find! Here is one worth looking at for your personal collection or weekend car show cruiser, and/or weekend pleasure car…

Two owners only on this one and still owned by the same family since 1987. The car was mostly used for “Show and Tell”, car shows, cruises, etc., and was very babied by its meticulous collector owner, which it shows!

These cars were the “king of the road” back in 1977, and this Eldorado is fully loaded, with nearly all available options for the year including the highly desirable Biarritz trim package, a dealer installed Sunroof, Power Seats with Power Recliner on the Passenger Seat, AM/FM Stereo Radio with 8 Track Player and Power Antenna, Cruise Control, Automatic Climate Control, Power Windows, Locks, Steering, Brakes, and gorgeous leather interior with no cracks and very little signs of wear, with contrasting red dash and red carpeting. The chrome Cadillac OEM hubcaps really set it off too! They are newly restored and have no scratches or imperfections, and were installed last week to replace faded original ones. They are ready for the new owner to enjoy!

Still also, you will be pleased to note that even the Cruise Control and Power Antenna work, commonly inoperable in these cars.

The car is super comfortable, has quite a bit of power for such a large car, and drives quietly, straight, and smooth. The engine and transmission perform as they should with no issues. The Air Conditioner blow cold and the Heater hot and the interior blower fan works perfectly on all speeds, and turns off and/or on as needed and as required based upon the setting on the thermostat. Next, all interior and exterior lighting works, even the outside opera lamps mounted on the vinyl roof! All of the windows and door locks work. The stereo plays beautifully and all speakers are alive with great sound.

The car was carefully maintained over the years, with many records since 1987 available to the new owner.

Some of the notable items serviced are:

· Repainted front and rear bumper fillers

· Driver’s side and passenger’s side interior door panels for show quality!

· Generator

· Radiator

· Coker Wide Whitewall Tires

· Interior Armrests

· Brakes, including pads, hoses, rotors

· Routine service of all fluids as needed.

· Engine exhaust manifold

· Valve Cover Gaskets

· Air Conditioning Compressor and Condenser (R12)

Next of all, the car was just fully inspected and serviced by a veteran Cadillac Master Technician, and the following items were performed dated 4/12/14, in preparation of the car for its next owner and as part of a “Spring Service” :

1. Changed oil and filter – Synthetic Oil

Dexos 5w30.

2. Removed carburetor from the engine and fully rebuilt and overhauled it.

3. Replaced spark plugs and wires, distributor cap, and rotor. Other details along these lines for optimum performance.

4. Replaced mechanical advance and vacuum advance, and set timing.

5. Replaced vacuum lines and PCV valve.

6. Replaced grommet for engine breather on left side.

7. Charged AC, added oil and 3 1/2 lbs. of R-12.

8. Lubed all hinges and latches.

9. Replaced left front turn/park lamp, socket, and bulb.

10. Installed OEM restored chrome finish hubcaps for a “fresh” look. Original caps with white centers will go with the car to the next owner.

11. Topped off coolant level.

12. Lubed speedometer cable.

Car is in amazingly solid condition for the year and for the age. Mileage is low, and original!

Our mechanic also observed a few items that will still need attention soon, including:

· CV Axle Boots

· Front control arm bushings and ball joints.

· Rear control arm bushings.

· Transmission pan gasket replacement – a few drips a week from this area on the garage floor.

· Oil pan gasket replacement – no drips on garage floor at this time, but precaution for the future.

· Original clock isn’t working but twice daily when it is 8:00!

· Passenger Side Vanity Mirror doesn’t illuminate.

· Sunroof currently doesn’t open or close, but sunshade inside can be manually opened or closed. The glass portion will not move. The sunroof does not leak.

In the interest of disclosure, these are the only items found on the car in need attention soon. Cosmetically, the car presents super well to everyone and the paint is in good condition. It was repainted some time ago, and still has a lot of luster and shine. The vinyl top also shows well, and remains supple and soft, but has two small cracks along the trim belt line as shown via the link to the "more photos" via Photobucket below. In the interest of originality, I wouldn't worry about it at this point as the car shows fine and many don't even notice the imperfection, but keep this in mind for the future.

Meanwhile, check out the link to added photos of the car, from many aspects and angles:

2014 Cadillac CTS configurator open for business

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Cadillac has just set the new configurator for the redesigned, 2014 CTS live. While we've already tested out the new CTS, this is our first chance to play with all the interior and exterior color options and to get a fair idea of the price. The new CTS covers a broad swath from the $46,025 base model, with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, to the $59,995 VSport, complete with its brawny, 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6.
It doesn't take much to send the CTS's price up from there, though. Opt for the VSport Premium trim, and the price immediately jumps $10,000. Opting for one of the premium paint colors is all that's needed to nudge the CTS past $70,000. For reference, a 556-horsepower CTS-V (previous-generation, naturally) starts at $64,515.
Click over and have a look at the configurator for yourself.

Cadillac to move select offices from Detroit to Manhattan?

Fri, 22 Aug 2014

Under Johan de Nysschen, Infiniti moved its headquarters from Yokohama, Japan, to Hong Kong. Now at Cadillac, it appears the company's new president could be planning a relocation of at least some of the brand's operations from Detroit to Manhattan, according to a new report from Reuters.
In the case of Infiniti, de Nysschen pushed for the move because moving away from the brand's Nissan overlords would allow it a bit more freedom. It's evidently a similar case for Cadillac, with Reuters speculating that such a move would help distance the brand from the corporate culture in Detroit. A Big Apple move could also attract new talent that may have considered a job with the brand but were put off by the idea of living in Detroit.
It's important to note that if such a move takes place, it likely won't affect the folks actually responsible for developing the brand's vehicles. Instead, administrative functions, including marketing, could be the focus of the relocation.

New Cadillac ELR ad more educational, less controversial than 'Poolside'

Mon, Mar 24 2014

Cadillac's first TV commercial for its ELR plug-in hybrid, Poolside, was a smash hit, in that a lot of people saw and talked about it. The 60-second spot didn't say the car was a plug-in, took potshots at the work ethic of all non-Americans and has raked in over a million views on YouTube (you can add one more here). Caddy's new ELR video will get a lot less media attention, but that's exactly the point. Cadillac claims it was happy with the way actor Neil McDonough strutted his way into the controversial ELR discussion. This time around, though, the coupe gets promoted in a more traditional way: with information about the car and what it can do - you know, drive on electricity, capture braking energy into the battery, go further on gas power when needed, those kinds of things – courtesy of GM's executive chief engineer for electrified vehicles, Pam Fletcher. The tone of the video has not been changed because of the Poolside controversy. David Caldwell, manager of Cadillac communications, tells AutoblogGreen that the new video is not destined for TV and is completely different because it's meant for a different audience. "It doesn't have any direct relation to Poolside," he says. "TV advertising is not necessarily the heart of marketing something like the ELR. Notwithstanding the fact that we had a very thought-provoking ad [laughs]." "We definitely have a need to communicate what the ELR is" - Cadillac's David Caldwell The way you reach out to people via the web is different than the mass-media techniques used in spots like Poolside during big TV events (it aired during the Winter Olympics). The two video spots are different because you need to offer different information in different ways, for example having an ELR website as well as an iPad filled with ELR information at the dealership. For Cadillac, TV is "not going to be the predominant methodology," used to sell the ELR, Caldwell said, "the web is closer to what you need to do to reach people. We definitely have a need to communicate what the ELR is. It's not television advertising at all." Caldwell said a handful of other short videos similar to the new one will go live in the near future, showcasing design and powertrain aspects of the car. Keep an eye out for them Â– just don't look for them on TV. You can watch the new video below.
