1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. Last year for the full size Eldorado.

Probably one of the nicest example ever to hit ebay. This is really a buying opportunity. This car has been kept in a temperature controlled environment, as part of a collection. I rarely ever sell a car from my collection, but another opportunity has become available and space being an issue ( you can't ever have enough) I've decided to sell it. I am not a car dealer, nor do I buy cars with the intent to just turn them. I had looked long and hard before finding this one. The car has 11,258 original very well documented miles, as records of the state inspection were kept, and will remain with the car. Everything works and performs as it should. I've included lots of pictures from just about every conceivable angle in order to show the cars condition, even a shot of the carburetor. I've taken close up pictures of the factory pin stripes, which show the factory connection where the two stripes meet which are actually one piece, in order to show that it's all original paint under them, with the exception of the plastic filler ends, which have been replaced. The glass is in perfect condition, no scratches. I welcome by appointment anyone that wants to view the car in person. This car was also featured in a hard cover book about Cadillacs, and it represents the 1978 model year. I've included pictures of the car in the book as well as the photograph that was taken at the time, in order to prove it's legitimacy. If you're looking for a super nice example for your collection, this is the car. There is no rust anywhere on this car, not even in the normal known locations, and the reason is because of how it has been stored. The # 1 thing to consider as it reflects everything about the car. When I purchased this Cadillac, the original tires were still on the car, but because of their age, the tires were starting to show signs that would not be safe to drive, and since I wanted to take the car to local car shows, I decided it was better to replace them.  When the original tires were removed, I took that opportunity to have the factory wheels ash blasted and re-coated with the proper black tone. The new tires are the proper size Vogue White Wall Yellow Stripe as seen in the pictures. Tires still show the nipple strands from production as they have hardly any miles on them.  Included with the car are all the rare factory books with samples of interior and exterior options, these books are rare and are highly collectible and have sold for hundreds of dollars in this condition. Also included are the original Cadillac keys given out by the dealer at the time of the original purchase and still in it's original packet. The owners manual as well as all the other booklets are still in excellent condition and will remain with the car.

The term you get what you pay for applies here, those that are hard core collectors know this better than anyone else.

The picture were taken about a week ago, and nothing including the engine compartment has been all dolled up just for the pictures. You're looking at the car pretty much the way that I got it.

The pictures were taken with the eye of a real collector (me) with plenty of automotive background and history knowledge. The pictures were also taken so that you could see what I would be looking for, when I'm on the hunt for a super nice car. Condition of rubber and seals in general, and in this cars case in exceptional condition. The reflection side shot, tells a lot about the side panels, your looking for abnormal distorted reflections, this car has none. The body lines and the joints, the chrome including all moldings, the wheel wells, the door jams. Interior you're looking at the molding, dash, door panels for any signs of unusual wear or warpness for the mileage and the stated condition of the car, you want to make sure it matches. If it sounds like I'm way too picky, I am, I've been told by other car enthusiast like myself this many times, but hey, cars have always been a big part of my life.

Note: The car is not from Montana as the license plate would have you believe, but when I saw that plate on ebay, I couldn't pass on the opportunity to buy it for this car.



If you have any questions about this car please feel free to ask.

Cadillac CT6 styling will be evolutionary, not like Elmiraj

Wed, Dec 17 2014

Well, this is at least a little disappointing. It turns out Cadillac's long-awaited flagship, the CT6, won't be ushering in a wholesale change in the company's design. That's coming from GM Design guru Ed Welburn, meaning it should be taken as gospel (unless of course he's just trying to hoodwink us). "It'll be different and it will certainly stand out in the portfolio," Welburn told Automotive News. "But you won't see a real shift in direction." Instead, Art and Science will be shown in yet another new form, and will "continue to evolve," according to Welburn, although what that means is unclear. What we can say for certain, though, is that Art and Science on the CT6 will not evolve into the stunning Elmiraj Concept. "I think Elmiraj was more of an influence on some other things we're working on for Cadillac," Welburn said, we're guessing with a smirk and an air of mystery. Considering we have yet to see the CT6, it's hard to tell whether this will be good news or bad, although based on the critical reception to the Elmiraj, we're a little bit disappointed by Welburn's statements. Still, only time will tell whether the styling of the CT6 will really work out.

2018 Lincoln Navigator vs luxury SUV rivals: How it compares on paper

Wed, Nov 8 2017

The all-new 2018 Lincoln Navigator is an impressive, luxury-lined beast. However, while its Black Label interior stood out most during our first drive of the new Navigator, it also seemed pretty clear that much of this full-size SUV was superior to the competition in a number of fundamental ways. Its Raptor-sourced 3.5-liter V6 had class-leading power for one, and its third-row seat seemed as spacious and comfortable as its rivals' are cramped and barely usable. To search for your next new vehicle, try Autoblog' s Car Finder. Yet, I wanted to take a closer look at how the Navigator fully compares on paper to its competitors - especially the Cadillac Escalade with which it most directly competes. The below spreadsheet should tell the whole story, but as you can see, there's an awful lot of class-leading green highlighter in the Navigator's column. The cargo volume and third-row legroom numbers are particularly telling, with the latter actually going up to 42.3 inches when you slide the second-row fully forward. Now, a few things to note about the above spreadsheet. The GLS-Class is also available as the GLS 550, which boasts a 4.7-liter V8 that just comes up short to the Navigator with 449 horsepower but has to deal with only 5,578 pounds. Its $94,950 price tag is comparable to the Navigator Black Label. Much of the LX 570's information is also applicable to the Toyota Land Cruiser, which, badge aside, could certainly be considered a member of this segment given its feature content and still-hefty price tag. It has better ground clearance and approach/departure angles than its Lexus sibling, along with an as-indicated lower price. Much of the Escalade's information also applies to the GMC Yukon Denali, while the Infiniti QX80 is applicable to the Nissan Armada.

eBay Find of the Day: Ryan Gosling Eldorado from Lost River

Thu, Apr 9 2015

What's better than a car connected to Ryan Gosling? A car connected to Ryan Gosling and Matt Smith (the eleventh Doctor Who for our less nerdy readers). This 1966 Cadillac Eldorado convertible is driven by Smith in Lost River, Gosling's directorial debut. The movie was filmed in Detroit, with plenty of footage at the Packard factory, and the car is located in the nearby enclave of Hamtramck. Truth be told, this car has questionable star appeal and it needs a lot of work. Lost River currently holds a 20% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I've never seen an episode of any Doctor Who – a fact that amazes Seyth Miersma. And while I agree with Kroll Show character Wendell Shawn that Gosling is a "beautiful idiot," that's not enough for me to buy a car with an exhaust leak. The body on this Eldorado looks clean, but there is plenty of restoration work for the next owner. The listing states that most of the exterior and trim needs to be installed, and the front seats are in rough shape. Other details are vague – the carburetor "might need to be rebuilt" and the radiator and fan "may need to be replaced" but neither statements explain why. On the upside, the 340 horsepower (gross rating), 429 cubic inch V8 runs well. Reserve is not met at the current price of $4,000, but this could be a chance to get a classic '60's convertible for cheap.
