    THE 1957 CADILLAC ELDORADO

 

Cadillac's completely restyled 1957 Eldorado borrowed heavily from the lines of the Park Avenue, a hardtop sedan concept car shown at the 1954 Motorama.  A new X-member chassis contributed to structural rigidity as well as to a profile nearly three inches lower than before.

The Eldorado Biarritz and Seville had their own rear-end configuration. The work of Ron Hill, a talented 23-year-old design newcomer, it featured a sloped deck flanked by rounded fenders sprouting sharply pointed fins.  The lower rear fenders were liberally garnished with chrome.  The hood ornament was eliminated, contributing to a smoother frontal appearance.  Overall, the 1957 Eldorado was more readily distinguishable from other Cadillacs than any Eldorado since the original.  The standard horsepower was 300, more than enough power to get the job done.

Vehicle Condition:

 

THE “ORIGINAL” INTERIOR OF THIS 1957 ELDORADO IS IN AMAZING “SURVIVOR” CONDITION!  THIS BEAUTIFULLY STYLED VINTAGE AMERICAN LUXURY CAR RUNS AND DRIVES WONDERFULLY!

 

 

This Eldorado is 57 years old, so some signs of age are to be expected!  Let me first say that much of this car appears to be in amazing unrestored original condition.  However, I’m sure that a few items were replaced or rebuilt through the years.  I know the tires were replaced, and I assume the engine and transmission were rebuilt as it runs like it was new!  

 

This Eldorado has an amazing original “survivor” interior in excellent condition.  As would be expected, the clock is not currently working, very common for a vehicle this age.  The original factory radio does come on, but does not play.  I do believe the antenna is not plugged in, so that could be the problem.  The padded dash looks great and is soft and supple.  The glove box lock is not working and the door is being held closed with a spring.  The driver side ash tray is being held closed with silicone. 

 

The exterior is beautiful but not perfect!  The chrome bumpers have been rechromed.  The front bumpers look great, but do show some issues on the driver’s side lower piece.  The rear bumpers and tail light housings do have pitting, some corrosion and pealing.  There are three very minor windshield wiper scuffs that I believe will polish out.  The paint has a good shine but would benefit from a good polishing.  The paint does show some age as there is some cracking on the hood.  There are indications that the car may have had some minor body repair and the car was resprayed sometime in the past.  There is a scuff on the right rear stainless that can be repaired.  The sabre wheels show some pitting and minor chips. 

 

The trunk interior is in beautiful condition and holds what appears to be the original spare tire.  Most everything under the hood appears to be stock original components that have been refreshed as some time.  The license plates shown on the car are not included in the sale.

 

The odometer reading above is as it reads and is most likely not the total miles. 

 

 

This Cadillac Eldorado Seville will turns heads and gets thumbs up virtually everywhere it goes!

New V6 engines are only the start at Cadillac

Fri, Mar 20 2015

Cadillac debuted its new family of V6 engines Friday, but that's not all General Motors' luxury brand has in store for the coming years. The six-cylinder powerplants will certainly help Cadillac in the near term, but they're just two of the many parts of the company's future strategy. GM has invested $12 billion in Cadillac to help the brand grow over the next five years, and the company will launch eight new products between now and 2020. That all starts with the launch of the CT6 flagship later this year – a fullsize luxury sedan we'll see for the first time in New York on March 31. The CT6 will introduce several new features and technologies to the Cadillac range, and with its launch also begins the slow restructuring of Cadillac's model-naming system. The new nomenclature means CT and XT badges for cars and utilities, respectively. Cadillac says that of the eight new vehicles it plans to launch by 2020, five of them will be first-time offerings in market segments where the brand currently does not play. But it's not just about new products – new powertrains are an important part of the Cadillac story, too. After the new V6 engines – a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter and a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter engine – launch later this year in the 2016 ATS, CTS and CT6, the company says it has a strategy for V8 power – possibly a twin-turbo application – as well as future electrification. Cadillac also says it's working on adding four- and six-cylinder diesel powertrains, though it's unclear which vehicles will make use of those engines. This new six-cylinder engine family is indeed important, with Cadillac's chief engineer, David Leone, calling it the "most advanced V6 in the industry." With 335 horsepower, the 3.6-liter engine is the highest output, naturally aspirated V6 powerplant Cadillac has done – and that's SAE-certified, and on regular fuel. Beyond that, the 3.0-liter mill (pictured at right) marks the first application of GM's active fuel management system on a twin-turbocharged engine. This means that when full power isn't necessary, the TTV6 can run as a 2.0-liter V4 in order to save fuel. New transmissions are also part of the V6 engine story. GM's all-new eight-speed Hydra-Matic 8L45 gearbox will be paired to the 3.6-liter V6, and the 3.0-liter TTV6 will use the company's existing 8L90 transmission that is already found in the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups (with the 6.2-liter engine).

2016 Cadillac CT6 has arrived

Wed, Apr 1 2015

We have known for a while that the 2015 New York Auto Show would mark the debut of Cadillac's latest flagship model. But after months of waiting as Caddy slowly revealed details, the 2016 Cadillac CT6 has finally arrived. The sedan is a technological tour de force for the brand and inaugurates a long list of new technologies. The CT6 will begin production at the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly plant in late 2015 and will go on sale with three engine options. Caddy won't release final figures yet, but based on preliminary numbers, we know the base 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder will make 265 horsepower. Stepping up to the newly revised 3.6-liter V6 will net buyers an estimated 335 hp, and finally there will be the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with an output of around 400 hp. All of these engines will be mated to eight-speed automatic transmissions, and six-cylinder models will get standard all-wheel drive that will be able to constantly vary the power sent to the front wheels. Carrying those powertrains is the new, aluminum-intensive Omega architecture. In addition to the lightweight metal making up the platform, the entire exterior also uses it to provide an estimated curb weight of less than 3,700 pounds. The decision to shed mass makes the CT6 a featherweight in its class – for comparison, the lightest, six-cylinder Audi A8 weighs 4,365 pounds. The sedan rides on a 122.4-inch wheelbase and is 204 inches long. That makes the Cadillac about 1.3 inches shorter than the smallest BMW 7 Series, but the Caddy is projected to tip the scales at less than both the big Bimmer and even the 5 Series, too. Cadillac wants the CT6 to be a luxury sedan that drivers can enjoy. In addition to the low weight, there's an available Active Chassis System throughout the range with rear-wheel steering and Magnetic Ride Control. When combined with the all-wheel-drive system, it means every corner of the car is both driving and steering the vehicle. Inside, the CT6 offers a ton of tech and luxury. Drivers are held in massaging, leather seats, and rear passengers also get adjustable chairs that are heated and cooled. Quad-zone climate controls keep everyone comfortable. Plus, in addition to the 34-speaker Bose audio system and streaming rearview mirror, there are features like a 10.2-inch CUE infotainment system with a capacitive touchscreen and console-mounted touchpad. The display also shows a 360-degree view outside and can even record video when the security system is activated.

Jay Leno welcomes a 2016 Cadillac CTS-V into the garage

Tue, Nov 17 2015

After checking out a multitude of classic cars and customs over the past few weeks, Jay Leno switches things up with a modern performance machine in the latest video from the garage – a 2016 Cadillac CTS-V. Leno is curious about Caddy's attempt to challenge the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S, and he takes a long, technical look at the sedan with chief engineer David Leone. Not content to just peek under the hood, Leno puts the CTS-V up on the rack to see what it packs underneath the svelte body. Once he gets the lowdown on the Caddy's engineering, it's time for a drive. Leno also flexes his interviewing skills while behind the wheel and gets even more info about the CTS-V's capabilities from Leone. He seems fairly impressed, but Leno's most entertaining question about the 640-horsepower sedan is whether it can do a burnout. He provides a definitive answer to that at the end of the clip.
