1979 Cadillac Phaeton Time Capsule 9,100 Original Miles Collector Owned on 2040-cars
South Plainfield, New Jersey, United States
For Sale is my 1979 Cadillac Phaeton with 9,100 original miles. I am a collector and the second owner of this spectacular time capsule Cadillac. I purchased this car from the original Texas owner in 2005 with 6,800 miles on it. I have documentation and photos of the then elderly man standing in front of the car in front of his home the day I purchased it. It was a family treasure parked in the garage for Sunday drives. This car had been kept all original as a drivable collector.
Since I purchased this car I performed annual services, changed battery, headliner (factory correct) bumper fillers, new power antenna, new remote alarm and door and trunk unlock, air shocks and built in battery tender etc. I drove the car on average 350 miles per year to keep it active. The Car is stored in my temperature controlled warehouse with the rest of my collection. This phaeton is fully equipped with special edition leather in as new condition (smells new), am/fm cassette, and cruise control. Twilight auto headlights. Illuminated entry, auto pull down trunk, all manual and best of all a set of NOS 1979 vintage appliance true spokes on vogue tires. These are period correct and could be purchased brand new on this car in 1979. I have the original hub caps as well. I have over $5,000 invested in the car that I am not looking to recoup, I am selling for fair market value only. The car is all original. The slight flaws- very few but I will list every single thing my perfection eyes know of, no hold backs at all. A small dent on the underside of the driver side rear quarter panel, see photo- unless I pointed it out you would not see it. I did not want to repair it and risk blending the paint on the quarter panel. There is extremely light discoloration on the driver door armrest; from light wear again I did not want to risk a color match. The trip odometer sometimes sticks when you press to reset the trip mileage. On my last ride home I noticed the fuel gauge sticks after a fill up for a few seconds, then releases. The car is a true 9,100 miles, the undercarriage and gas tank still factory clean. Paint is all original except bumper fillers, which match great and pinstripe was matched perfect. The hood and trunk paint are not as bright as the rest of the car, but shows very well as you can see in the photos. I never sell cars, and never intended on selling this one. I searched for this year, make and model for years, however I recently purchased an additional collector car I have been searching for and I getting tight on space in my temperature controlled storage warehouse. This is a great car, turns heads and stops traffic, and rides like a dream. My price is set very fair; you can buy this car take out the entire family, keep it for a few years and sell it for more than you purchased it for. The car is in South Plainfield, NJ 07080. Buyer must pick up or ship at their expense. $1,000 deposit within 24 hours of winning bid, full payment and pick up with certified or bank check within 7 days of winning bid. |

Cadillac CT6 ushers in new naming convention
Wed, 24 Sep 2014Johan de Nysschen has been at his new post as president of Cadillac for not even three months , but he's already seen two of his most notable accomplishments from his two-year tenure as president of Infiniti matched by Cadillac. The brand has announced that it is relocating its headquarters, and is now officially changing its nomenclature.
The brand's new flagship model will abandon the familiar three-letter designation enjoyed by every other model in the range (aside from the Escalade), and adopt an alpha-numeric title. So, rather than the expected title of LTS, Cadillac's top-end car will be called the CT6.
Of course, this won't be limited to just one model. According to Cadillac's press release, "familiar lettering like 'CT' would be used for car models, with the number indicating the relative size and position of the cars in the hierarchy of Cadillac models." And yes, that means what you think it means - Cadillac will use the exact same naming formula, albeit with different letters, as Infiniti.
2014 Cadillac CTS starts $7k higher than last model at $46,025*
Thu, 13 Jun 2013The redesigned 2014 Cadillac CTS will be more powerful, stylish and luxurious than its predecessor, but it will also be much more expensive. With a new starting price of $46,025 (*including $925 for destination), the 2014 CTS represents a price increase of more than $7,000 compared to the 2013 model, but it should be more appropriately sized and equipped to take on rivals like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which start at $47,800 and $51,900, respectively.
Available trim levels - referred to as Collections - include Luxury, Performance and Premium, offering either a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder or a 3.6-liter V6 and the choice of either rear- or all-wheel-drive configurations. For more performance, the all-new CTS Vsport model will have an asking price of $59,995. This 420-horsepower model is more powerful than both the BMW 550i and Mercedes E550 and about $2,000 less expensive than both.
There's still no word on what Cadillac has in store for a next-gen CTS-V sedan, but we're guessing power and price will both rise considerably. Scroll down for more info on the 2014 CTS that is set to go on sale this fall.
2018 Cadillac XT7 three-row crossover spied [UPDATE]
Fri, Feb 26 2016UPDATE: Upon further consideration, and after speaking to some industry insiders, it appears this might not actually be a new Cadillac, but instead just a mule of the new Chevy Traverse. One source points out that the foglights are fixed, round units, which would be production spec and would not suggest Cadillac. Another source says the Cadillac version of the Traverse/Acadia/Enclave was cancelled, and development has stopped. Yes, a Cadillac of this size is expected to arrive – and elements of this prototype sure do look Cadillac to us – but it might be too early for this to be it. Cadillac is expanding its portfolio with a three-row crossover. This is it. Expected to be called the XT7, the new vehicle will give Cadillac an entry above the XT5 and below the hulking Escalade. Though the XT7 is heavily covered, we can see Cadillac's (?) bold grille and what looks like strong proportions. It'll probably look like a larger XT5, and you can sort of (maybe) see a similar roofline if you squint. Spy shooters caught it testing with the new Chevy Traverse and Buick Enclave, and they're all expected to use the new General Motors 3.6-liter V6 engine, like the recently revealed GMC Acadia. The XT7 could show up as soon as late this year or early in 2017. Its part of GM's push to capitalize on the red-hot crossover segment that has been fueled by low gas prices and Americans' thirst for utility. The XT7 would likely represent GM's most profitable play in this segment. Simply affixing the Cadillac badge on the front adds thousands of dollars to the sticker compared to a Chevy or Buick product. The XT7 will also give Cadillac a significant opportunity for growth – and perhaps allow it to gain on Mercedes and BMW on the sales charts. While the CTS and ATS have had mixed success, Americans have continued to show a willingness to buy Cadillac utility vehicles. The XT7 is the latest in Cadillac's product blitz following the XT5 and the CT6 range-topping sedan. Those two are the most critical Caddys, but the XT7 isn't far off.
