1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible

Family owned

 

This unique 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible was purchased new by my father from Coral Cadillac in Pompano Bch, Florida.  It was his Florida car from 1985 until he passed away in 1996. I took the car, at that time with less than 45k miles, and drove it to my home in N Carolina, where it was driven for special occasions and sunny days, until I moved to Montana, when I put it in storage in our family's garage, in Ohio, for 5 years. During that time, it was started weekly but driven sparingly until I drove it across country from Ohio to MT in the summer of 2006. It has always been garaged since new...in Florida an air conditioned garage, in NC, and OH, and now in Montana a heated garage. I am the second registered owner of this 1 family owned vehicle.

I have just sold my home (with the heated garage) and moved into a smaller home with a single garage. I need the space, so I am offering to sell my Dad's car to someone who will enjoy it, and appreciate the uniqueness of the vehicle.

This is not a show car, but a very clean driver that is ALL original. There are a few things that need to be addressed: being a FL car, the bottoms of the doors are showing some rust that should be fixed; the driver's seat has minimal wear on the edges from 28 yrs of use (all original); the top, also original, is showing it's age with 2 tears at the corners from having the top down, and around the glass rear window; the exhaust resonator has a small hole and should be replaced; there is a small leak in the heater core that causes a fine mist to come from the AC when used. Other than that, Cadillac's HT4100 engine runs well. It has not had the normal main bearing problems most other 4100's had. The right rear quarter window motor operates, but the flexible cable has broken so the window has to be pushed down manually. It will raise with the motor. I have 2 replacement flexible gear cables. I also have a new-old stock OEM replacement convertible top, but without pads, cables, or rear window. The tires were replaced in the summer of 2006 before driving across country, and have less than 10,000 miles on them.

The mileage is accurate and original at 69518. Everything works including the cruise, power antennae, power seats, power top, dual power mirrors, automatic headlight sentinel, radio (except the cassette), the AC, the on-board fuel economy computer, digital speedo, fuel guage, and miles to empty, power closing trunk, and even the automatic leveling system. I replaced the original carpeted floor mats with reproduction, full width, mats in the late 90's, and still have the original mats in the trunk, along with the original trunk mat, and convertible top boot.

The car is located in the northwestern part of Montana...Whitefish, MT, near Glacier National Park...easily accessed by air via Delta, United, or Alaska airlines. It is the buyer's responsibility to arrange pickup or shipping. I do have access to car haulers who will arrange shipping to any part of the USA for a competitive cost. It is also advertised locally, and I have the right to end the auction early of sold locally.

I am offering this rare Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible at a very reasonable beginning price and reserve. Please do not ask the reserve. If you want to purchased the car, please bid accordingly.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.

2015 Cadillac Escalade

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

Cadillac has been an interesting story in the auto industry over the past several years. Its comeback bid may be well over a decade old, but it's only recently that the Wreath and Crest has transformed from the auto industry's retirement home into its hot new thing. Today's Cadillac is a powerful marque working to instill passionate design, sound driving dynamics and cutting-edge technology into each model it builds, with vehicles like the ATS and redesigned CTS leading the charge.
Now, its latest model has arrived. This fourth-generation Escalade is among the most important new Cadillacs since the division's renaissance kicked into high gear. It's the brand's de facto flagship, and the first vehicle many young people think of when hearing the name "Cadillac." In the past, the Escalade was the chosen vehicle of the rich, flashy and famous. It's suffered over the past few years, though, particularly as new and more luxurious competitors have come to the fore.
With this latest redesign, General Motors is aiming to retake the spotlight as purveyors of the market's premier luxury SUV. To find out if it's been successful, I ventured down to the South Carolina Lowcountry to test the all-new 2015 Escalade.

Recharge Wrap-up: Cadillac CT6 Plug-In on sale in China, Oregon utilities spur EV adoption

Fri, Dec 30 2016

The Cadillac CT6 Plug-In is now available in China. The luxury plug-in hybrid sedan uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine plus two electric motors, which give the car a 0-62 mph time of 5.4 seconds. Its liquid-cooled 18.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack gives the car an all-electric range of 50 miles, with a total range of 581 miles. Cadillac offers a 200V charger with the CT6 Plug-In, which provides a full charge in less than five hours. Owners can check charging status remotely using OnStar or the MyCadillac app. The CT6 Plug-In is offered in two variants, priced at about $80,400 and $94,800. Read more from GM. Two Oregon utilities are launching a program to increase EV adoption. Portland General Electric (PGE) will build six charging locations, each with up to four dual-standard fast chargers. PGE will also build and operate charging sites for electric buses, freeing up money for Portland's TriMet transit agency to spend on the actual buses. Pacific Power will also build public EV chargers, and lower some electricity rates for operators. Both companies will also work to inform the public about the benefits of electric mobility. Oregon utilities are required to stop using coal by 2030, and use 50 percent renewable energy by 2040, which will make EVs even cleaner. Read more at Green Car Reports. Continental says a shift to EVs will cost its company jobs. The automotive parts supplier's CEO, Elmar Degenhart, says that while the company will need to cut production jobs, those will be offset at least in part by the creation of new positions related to electric mobility. "There is enough time to design the process such that the blow is softened and major pain can be avoided," says Degenhart. Some 30,000 jobs at Continental are tied to combustion engines.
