 Hello, Here is my 1979 Cadillac Coupe Deville.  It has the 425 engine and 400 trans

The Good: 

  • Runs and Drives every time. 
  • New stock exhaust system and re-gasketed exhaust manifold (Jan. '12)
  • Tires- Cooper Trendsetter SE  (Dec. '11) 63,000, rotated (Dec. '12)  67,000
  • Master Cylinder (Jan. '11)
  • Calipers/Rotors (Aug. '11)
  • Power Steering Pump/Pulley/Belt (Oct. '12)
  • Thermostat and Gasket and Upper/Lower radiator hoses w/Radiator Flush (Feb. '11)
  • Rear air shocks (Feb. '11)
  • Re-gasket and paint valve covers w/new pcv valve (Dec. '12)
  • Alternator/Belt (Nov. '12)
  • Battery (Jan. '11)
  • Water Pump/Pulley/Fan Clutch (Jan. '13)
  • Distributor, Module,Cap, Rotor, Plugs, Wires (Feb. 13)
  •  New Carburetor and gasket and fuel line: carb to fuel pump (Nov. '12)
  • Brake Pads (Dec. '12)
  • Headlamps (March '13)
  • Dual 12' Sub-woofers, sealed box, Rockford Fosgate Amp (Feb. '12)
  • And a few other things, but I've always kept up on the maintenance

The Bad

  • Rust Hole on hood and lower passenger door
  • Landau top is weathered
  • Front seats have rips and tears
  • Engine has a noisy lifter- When I took the car to the dealer in Nov. '12 to have the engine tuned and jetted because of the new carburetor, they did a compression check and said it was good, but the lifter was noisy.  I bought a new intake gasket for when I replaced the lifters but never got around to it.  So, the gaskets in the trunk 
  • No A/C  I had the fittings converted from the old R-12 to the new R134a but couldn't get the system to charge.  They said it needs to be vacuumed out.
  • No power Antennae
  • Right Side Corner bulb socket needs replacing - doesn't turn on when turn signal is activated
  • Left Rear Wheel has many wheel weights

Hopefully I covered most the topics, email me if you have any questions.

Thanks, James

Cadillac partners with Saks Fifth Avenue for limited-edition ELR

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

There's no softening the blow with this one - this is the limited edition 2014 Cadillac ELR Saks Fifth Avenue Edition, and it costs $89,500, including $995 for destination. The special model, limited to just 100 units, is part of a holiday season collaboration between Cadillac and luxury retailer Saks Fifth Avenue. In addition to the ELR, there will also be a special "Frozen Escalade" window display at the Saks Fifth Avenue flagship store near Rockefeller Center in New York City, which will feature the 2015 Escalade with functioning LED running lamps that, as the automaker says, "appear embedded and breaking through a wall of ice."
But back to that ELR. This Saks edition plug-in hybrid coupe commands a surcharge of $14,500 over the $75,000 base model that over 85-percent of Autoblog readers polled already feel is overpriced. For that extra coin, you get an ELR wearing exclusive (to this car) White Diamond paint matched with either a jet black or light cashmere interior. Buyers will also receive an upgraded 240-volt charging station complete with professional installation, and the cars come with Cadillac's ELR Concierge service - representatives "trained in white-glove customer care" that serve as an additional point of contact beyond the dealership when it comes to topics like like battery care, charging, service scheduling and news updates.
Folks who order the Saks Fifth Avenue ELR are expected to receive their cars in March of next year. Price aside, we're sure it'll look great parked alongside the Neiman Marcus Aston Martin Vanquish Volante in owners' garages. Scroll down for Cadillac's official press blast.

2023 Detroit Auto Show Mega Photo Gallery: All the new reveals and first looks

Wed, Sep 13 2023

The 2023 Detroit Auto Show didn’t play host to a lot of reveals, but on top of the new cars that were revealed there, automakers brought a whole bunch of cars we havenÂ’t seen in person yet. In a show of home strength, all the big reveals came from the hometown Big Three, with Ford, GM and Stellantis playing host to the most important unveilings. We took Huntington Place by storm to capture all of the new cars and sights to see in Detroit, and you can see everything we did in the series of galleries below. Interesting special editions like the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum Black Edition and the 2024 Chevrolet Camaro CollectorÂ’s Edition found some floor space alongside bigger debuts like the refreshed gasoline-powered F-150 and 2024 Jeep Gladiator with its new interior. If you wanted to see it all yourself, make sure you check out our guide on how to attend the public show days.

Cadillac shows 2015 Escalade interior

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Following the reveal of the new GMC Yukon, Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, the next in line is Cadillac, which is set to unveil the new Escalade on October 7 in New York. And in the lead-up to the reveal, the company has released this third teaser image, giving us a good glimpse of the 'Slade's interior.
Or part of the interior, we should say, because while the image above clearly shows the new dashboard and center console, as well as parts of the front seats and interior door panels, the Escalade is most certainly not a two-seat coupe. The outgoing Escalade can accommodate up to eight in either standard or ESV form (but not in EXT pickup configuration), and the new model promises to deliver the same, and we're curious to see what Cadillac has in store for the rear passenger compartment.
Compared to its more accessible counterparts, the new Escalade clearly offers a more upscale environment than even the uplevel Yukon Denali, with softer-looking leather, richer wood veneer and a waterfall center infotainment console that's different from the more modular design in the Chevy and GMC. The steering wheel is also unique and the instrument cluster appears to meld more smoothly across the dashboard, but the door mirrors, wide center armrest, column shifter and A-pillar grab handle all look like they were carried over from the Escalade's platform mates.
