This Elvis Special!!!  1970 Cadillac De Ville 2 door convertible is all original--472 cubic inch motor.  I am the second owner of the car.  It has been garage kept and covered. Can't think of a more original car.  I purchased it from Mr. Short who bought the vehicle new in Lincolnwood Illinois (see bill of sale)  a Chicago Suburb.  He drove it hear to Southern Illinois to start a chain of Mc Donalds.  I saw the car occasionally in parades over the years.  When I found out it was coming up for sale I bought it the same day.  I did not argue about the price, that was approximately 10 years ago.  I only drive it a few times a year.  I have kept everything original, the only thing I have done is change the oil & filter.


This most desirable color combination of  Cotillion white with red leather interior is a beautiful vehicle.  All original has not been redone even  the original patina of the leather.  Most 1970's have been reupholstered.  Look at the seams and buttons which is on the original interiors.  This has a beautiful original interior.   All numbers match on the car.  The original equipment has tilt and telescope steering wheel, remote control trunk lock with warning light, door edge guards, tinted glass, 6 way power seat, automatic climate control, am/fm stereo signal seeking radio, rear window defogger. Chrome is clean with no rust.  Carpet and dash like new, original floor mats front & back and convertible top cover all snaps are in good shape.  Original paint very nice, all door jams & doors clean no rust. Undercarriage is clean with no rust.  Original spare tire still in trunk with the original jack with it's original security cover.  A great original specimen that hasn't been messed with.  Engine always starts, does not burn or blow oil, top and windows work beautifully just a really nice original car.  

Also have all the original  paperwork, bill of sale from 1970, 1970 owner manual, Cadillac protecto plate, new vehicle warranty papers, consumer information,  original Cadillac keys that came with vehicle, original wheel covers and new tires.  Also when we were cleaning the dashboard last fall I noticed a nickel stuck near the window.  When I got it out the nickel was from 1970 that will also go with the car. (too funny) 

Can't think of a more original car.  I am selling the car because I am down sizing and have other vehicles and I am getting older.  I would love to sell this original specimen to a person that would appreciate it with all it's original history.  I am not a dealer just a guy with a cool Cadillac. I have the car priced at what I think is a very fair reserve for a Cadillac in this original condition and all it's documented history.  I would consider this a high value Cadillac.  Can assist in coordinating shipping anywhere.

de Nysschen pushes to separate Cadillac, GM

Wed, Aug 12 2015

Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen continues his push to separate his brand from General Motors. After controversially picking up shop and moving to New York's trendy SoHo neighborhood, de Nysschen has now gone on record as saying that within two years, the brand will enjoy "a far higher degree of autonomy and self sufficiency." That autonomy will include the brand reporting its own financial results, independent of GM. But what would such a move do for Cadillac? Well, as de Nysschen explained it to Automotive News, "Cadillac at this state makes a very sizeable contribution to the overall profit at General Motors." If that's truly the case, separating financial announcements serves to emphasize the prosperous character de Nysschen seems so keen on attaching to his brand. But that's only one phase of Cadillac's push to distance itself from GM. De Nysschen is eager to revamp the company's dealership model so that it stands out from other GM brands, calling it a "very profound focus." Those moves, according to AN, including a change to the current dealer incentive model with a particular emphasis on building the brand rather than nailing sales figures. "If you aren't strengthening the brand perception, you should have less reward," de Nysschen told AN. While his goals seem clear, de Nysschen's statements have left us wondering whether they're also somewhat counterintuitive. Emphasizing Caddy's prosperity to potential consumers while incentivizing dealers to move less metal seems more like a tactical move rather than a strategic one. And there's no telling how the new dealership model will impact de Nysschen's goal to hit 500,000 global sales by 2020. Related Video:

2015 Cadillac Escalade on sale in April priced at $71,695*

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

With the fourth-generation Cadillac Escalade set to go on sale in April, Cadillac has released the pricing data for its fullsize luxury SUV. While there's no retail configurator yet, the data posted on AOL Autos - and confirmed by Cadillac - shows that the 2015 Escalade will have a starting price of $71,695 (*not including $995 for destination).
This new starting price is about $8,000 more than the outgoing model, but Cadillac is quick to point out that the latest 'Slade is packed with more standard equipment in the new base Standard trim that actually puts it more on par with the midlevel Premium trim on the 2014 model (currently priced at $73,245). These new standard features include Magnetic Ride Control, LED headlights and taillights and 20-inch wheels.
Stepping up to the 2015 Escalade Luxury, the price increases to $75,695 and includes added equipment like 22-inch wheels, head-up display, power fold-and-tumble second-row seats and safety systems such as forward collision warning and lane departure warning. The top-rung 2015 Escalade Premium will start at $80,195 adding features such as a rear-seat entertainment system, illuminated exterior door handles and the Driver Assist Package consisting of front and rear automatic braking and adaptive cruise control.
