Up for a "no reserve" auction is an absolute studding 2DR 1979 Cadillac Coupe Deville that has been garage kept it's entire life. This Cadillac has had just 2 owners and the 83 year old 2nd owner owned it since 1980. This Caddy has a very rare color combination & it is stunning. The springtime yellow exterior is all original except for the rear fillers, which were done with the heavy duty replacements. The body is laser straight and the paint is remarkable for being more than 34 years old. Nice luster that is smooth to the touch. Contrasting yellow 1/4 vinyl roof with opera lights. No rust under the top trim moldings like most have. The chrome grill and bumpers are truly spectacular, they gleam, no pitting or fade. The yellow leather interior is equally impressive and still smells like new. The leather is all original and only flaw I could find is a small area on the lower back of the drivers bolster, no rips. The door panels are all original with no cracks, tears or fading. The olive dash with woodgrain is gorgeous and the chrome vents are like new. The golden cut pile carpeting still has it's original sheen and looks nice. The carpets are covered by the original Cadillac floor mats. The drivetrain consists of the powerful 7.0 Litre 425ci 180HP/320TQ V/8 engine, runs and sounds great. No leaks or smoke, it does have just 60K, recent replacement of belts and hoses. Recently replaced the A/C compressor and dryer with GM Delco replacement parts R-34 Freon. Transmission shifts on the dime with no slipping. I kept the engine valve covers original and not all painted up to hide anything. Nicely equip for the year also tested and seems to be working properly are the door locks, tilt, cruise, power seat, factory AM/FM with 8-track tape player. Power antenna also works. As noted also has new ice cold air conditioning. **Car is also for sale locally buyer reserves right to sell and end auction early.

Junkyard Gem: 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible
Sat, Jun 27 2020Convertibles rode high well in 1960s America, with Detroit selling more than 500,000 ragtops in 1965, but sales collapsed by the early 1970s and tightening federal crash-safety regulations made it seem less worthwhile to even bother producing new ones. Chrysler halted convertible production after 1971, with Ford following suit by 1973. By the 1976 model year, the Cadillac Eldorado was the last new American car you could buy with a convertible top from the factory, and it appeared that none would ever be built again. I've found one of those "last convertible" Eldorados in rough-but-identifiable condition in a Denver junkyard. As it turned out, the convertible never really died in America. Car shoppers could still buy new European-made convertibles after 1976, coachbuilders modified new Detroit cars with factory-grade drop-tops, and then Chrysler began selling K-Car convertibles starting with the 1982 model year. Because the '76 Eldorado appeared to be the absolute end of the convertible line, however, buyers thought they were investing in a sure-fire collector car that would be worth vast sums in the not-very-distant future (this belief led to lawsuits against GM later on, when the Cadillac Division resumed production of the Eldorado convertible for 1984). While a one-of-200-made Bicentennial Edition Eldorado with red-white-and-blue trim really is worth plenty these days, an ordinary 1976 Eldorado in beat-up condition doesn't seem worth restoring. This car appears to have sat outside in Colorado with the top down for decades, filling with snow each winter and enduring high-elevation solar irradiation each summer. A 1960s GTO or Camaro might be worth fixing up after falling into this state of disrepair, but not one of 14,000 "last convertible" Eldorados made in 1976. GM's Unified Powerplant Package front-wheel-drive system, which used battleship-strength chains to transmit power to the drive wheels, proved to be extremely reliable on the street, joining the small-block Chevrolet engine and Hydra-Matic transmission in the pantheon of The General's Greatest Engineering Hits. Even gigantic motorhomes used this system. In 1976, the Eldorado got the last of the 500-cubic-inch (8.2 liter, or litre as GM's marketers spelled it) V8s, rated at a disappointing 190 horsepower and an impressive 360 lb-ft of torque.
Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable
Sun, 10 Aug 2014A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
