Barn Find: Rare 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Touring Coupe "commemorative Edition" on 2040-cars
Year:1985
Mileage:11580
Location:
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
|
NO RESERVE AUCTION Barn Find: Up for bid is a "Commemorative Edition" 1985 Cadillac Touring Coupe. One of only 585 touring coupes produced in 1985 and one of only a few that were ordered with the gold commemorative package. How many still are around, if any, I am not sure. Yes, the mileage is right as this old girl still has her original set of Uniroyal "Gold Seals" on her after all these years and they still show about 70% - 80% tread. She was a Sunday driver and came from the estate of a local businessman who passed away several years back. This vintage Caddy starts and runs well but the brakes are a little spongy from sitting and the "Brake Warning" light stays on when driving. It has climate control and still blows cool but not cold when turned on. She needs a new owner to restore her back to her original elegance that she had when she left the Linden NJ plant in 1985. This car is a great investment considering its truly "One of a Kind" factory order and modification makeup ranging from the Hood Mascot and Chrome Wings, Rolls Front Valence Piece, Fender Side Pipes and Step Boards, Scripted Glass/Taillights, Continental Spare Tire Kit, the ASC conversion Sunroof, Phaetom Style Rear Roof with Gold Accents... Bodywise this car is straight and complete although there is some rust mostly on the passenger side as the pictures show. Terms of sale are a $500 deposit from high bidder via PayPal within 24 hours of auction close and remaining balance by Bank Draft within 5 days of auction close. Pickup location is Pembina ND zip code 58271 and car will need to be picked up within 2 weeks of auction close unless other arrangements are made. I can help arrangement shipment to your location if needed but the cost is the responsibility of the new owner. Thanks for looking... |

GM considering new powertrain options for large SUVs
Tue, 15 Oct 2013Aside from the new General Motors offerings, there's not a whole lot of action going on in the fullsize SUV segment. That doesn't seem to be stopping GM from pushing the envelope in the market as Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is looking to introduce some new powertrain options into the Chevy Tahoe (and Suburban), GMC Yukon (and Yukon XL) and the Cadillac Escalade - all have been redesigned for the 2015 model year.
Now, we already know that GM and Ford are collaborating on nine- and ten-speed transmissions for a broad range of applications (including the big SUVs), but this new report says that GM is also considering other options as a way to one-up the competition and, of course, to optimize fuel economy. AN quotes Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for GM trucks, as saying that "interesting powertrain technologies" are coming including a return of a hybrid SUV and possibly even a diesel engine. Although it sounds like the latter could come down to how customers respond to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design
Sat, Jun 6 2015General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI.
