This 1998 Cadillac DeVille D'Elegance is from the estate of a lifelong friend who passed away in January 2014. Purchased brand new in late 1997 from the local Cadillac dealer, this one-owner beauty has been meticulously maintained by the same owner and same dealer since new. It is a non-smoker car that has been garage kept its entire life, and it shows. When I pulled it out of the garage, I rinsed the light dust off of it and that's all I did. She was so particular about her car that she has rubber mats over the carpeted mats. The interior is immaculate. Close inspection shows some very slight wear on the driver's seat bolsters (outside edge) from getting in and out, but you've got to look close. There is no interior odor and, again, I didn't touch the interior prior to taking the photos.

On the outside, it's unbelievable for a '98 model car. There are a few slight pecks and dings, but hardly noticeable. That's the beauty of a White car. Curiously, the thin bright silver trim that circles the car within the side molding has some spots on some of the pieces, most noticeable on the left rear door, but I really don't think it's a distraction to the otherwise stunning appearance. The Michelin tires look nearly brand new and the thin White stripe really sets off the dazzling chrome aluminum wheels. Unlike the faux chrome wheels that automakers use today, these are genuine chromed aluminum wheels, exclusive to the d'Elegance model, and none have any curb damage.

Mechanically, it starts and runs perfectly. The battery looks fairly new, but I can't be sure how old it is. I only drove it a few miles, but checked everything out that I could. The HVAC system operates great, all of the instrumentation is bright and functioning properly, the radio and CD player sound beautiful. I didn't have a cassette to try, however, but would guess it works fine, too. The d'Elegance model has rear seat sun visors and I did notice that the vanity mirror light didn't work on the left rear one.

There could be other things wrong with the car, as would be the case with any used vehicle, but you'd be hard pressed to find a nicer 1998 model car of any description, in my opinion. Automakers don't make roomy, great riding, comfortable cars like these anymore. For the money, this is a lot of car!

Of course, it is being sold As Is, Without Warranty. Buyer assumes all risks. It is impossible to know everything about a used car, or what might happen to it in the future, but from what I know about this one, who owned it, and how it was taken care of, I would not hesitate to load my family in it and go anywhere.

You are welcome to have it inspected by anyone you choose. It has a clear, open title. The title shows the previous title number to be the MSO. The title was issued on 12/04/1997 and it had 89 miles on the odometer. It has all of the original owner's manuals and glove box materials. It has the two original ignition keys (one gold) with built in chip and several door keys (one gold). It has one remote fob, and it works fine (the family could only find one fob).

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I would like to be paid within 3 days of auction close. Cash, cashiers check or wire transfer preferred. Buyer is responsible to pick up the car. It is located in Stuttgart, Arkansas 72160.

Thanks so much for looking!

Liberace's gilded Cadillac could be yours

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

With their chrome grilles and oversized wheels, it's hard not to notice a Cadillac these days. But this one is even more blingtastic on account of the 23.75-karat gold-leaf bodywork.
The 1931 Cadillac Golfer's Drop Head Coupé is said to have belonged to the inimitable performer Liberace, who didn't just have it covered in gold - he also had the exterior door handles plated in silver and the inside handles in 24-karat gold as well. It's also got a white leather interior and headlights that - well ahead of their time (if you'll pardon us, Mr. Tucker) - pivot with the steering wheel. All that bling is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission that pales in comparison to the seven, eight and even nine-speed gearboxes appearing on luxury sedans today.
The project was undertaken over the course of three years in the 1970s by one Jack Smith from Kansas. Smith (if that was his real name) sold it at auction in 1975, and it was most recently displayed for 12 years at a museum in Germany which claimed it was Liberace's own. The car is now going up for sale by Barons' at the Sandown Park horse racing track in Surrey, England, on September 17, when bidding starts at 85,000 pounds - equivalent to over $130,000 at today's rates.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

Cadillac executive appointments have global flair

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

Cadillac has rearranged its executive suite in order to take full advantage of its sales momentum. Don Butler is moving from his role as US VP of marketing to a newly created position with the title VP of global Cadillac strategic development. It will be his job to "drive the next phase of Cadillac growth internationally," planning strategy and developing new markets.
He will be replaced by Steve Majoros, an exec poached from Chevrolet's ad agency of record, Campbell Ewald. Majoros, who has the Chevrolet campaigns "Like a Rock" and "American Revolution" on his resume, will oversee Cadillac's US and international marketing.
Another component in the brand's renewed global focus includes conducting an ad agency review. Announced last month, Fallon Worldwide remains Cadillac's agency of record, but others, said to include Campbell Ewald, will be bidding to make the creative that helps Cadillac expand sales percentages by triple digits here and in China. Scroll down below for the official press release.
