1976 Cadillac Coupe de Ville
Less than 32,000 Miles From New - Rare Fuel Injected,
Highly Optioned Car
Exceptional Triple Phoenician Ivory Example - Just Serviced
Long in a Cadillac Dealer Collection, Much Work Done By Them
Offered for your consideration is this fantastic
1976 Cadillac Coupe de Ville in Triple Phoenician Ivory. This incredible
car has less than 32,000 original miles on the odometer and was optioned
out from new with a host of rare extras and accessories: Factory Bendix
Fuel Injection, Tilt & Telescopic Steering, Dual Power 40/60 6-way seating,
Cruise Control, Delay Wipers, Guidematic (automatic headlight dimming),
Twilight Sentinel (automatic headlight on/off), AM/FM Stereo 8-Track, Power
Trunk Release & Pulldown, External Thermometer on Driver's Mirror, Stand-Up
Hood Ornament, Econometer, Low Fuel Warning Light, Door Edge Guards and
More.
As best as I can tell, this car was sold new
somewhere out west before going into the collection of a Michigan Cadillac
dealer. I do not know the timeline and there is no documentation to back
this up, merely some hints along the way. A few years and a few thousand
miles ago, the car was sold to a local member of our region of the Cadillac
& LaSalle Club here in Richmond. Despite being in the car biz, I have
a soft spot for these Cadillacs, which helps to explain why I am a life
member in the CLC and a founding member of our local region. I agreed to
take the car off his hands and deal with some issues it had prior to putting
it up for sale.
The car is incredibly straight and solid throughout,
it was undercoated and rust-proofed when new and at some point in its life
the recipient of a very high quality respray in its original code 52 Phoenician
Ivory. I expect the Cadillac dealer owned it by this point as whoever did
the work seemed to know their way around the car. All the trim came off
and went back on correctly and without damage to the best of my ability
to tell.
The bumper fillers were all replaced at the
time of the respray; the outer fillers around the 'fins' and the license
plate filler would seem to be firmer (i.e. ABS plastic) than the taillamp
filler panels which would seem to be the original style urethane. The original
edge trim around the filler panels was salvaged and reattached though they
would seem to have lost the little stainless steel connecting pieces which
I had on my shelf and fitted to this car. The sticklers will notice that
the stainless surrounds around the taillamps did not make it back onto the
taillamp fillers - if these fillers are urethane, there's a good reason,
as the fillers tended to crack around these surrounds.
The car was also pinstriped following the repaint
and very nicely too.
I removed the trunk lock cover and repainted
the crest, which you can see here. I also did the wheel cover emblems.
All four wheels wear these correct vintage Cadillac
locking wheel covers. The tires are as-new Firestone FR721s with the correct
width whitewall, they are not flat-spotted or damaged in any way. Back to
the caps - I removed all four crests and repainted them. These caps were
an astounding $251 extra on a new 1976 Cadillac. However, I suspect these
are not original to the car as we also have...
... a beautiful set of original 1976 wheel covers
with repainted crests, I did these only this morning. These go with the
car as well.
The right hand side of the car is no different
than the left, straight, solid and a nice even finish.
The vinyl top is in good condition as well and
I believe it to be original as it's just too good to be even a GM replacement.
You'll notice that both opera lamps also work
as they should with the lights on.
There's a little garage door rash on the front
bumper rub strip here. There is no damage to the underlying bumper and I
expect it's been this way for a long time.
Let's take a look inside the car. All four door
and rear quarter panels are like new; the vacuum-formed upper panels which
are so often cracked are perfect as are the lowers - no cracks or splits.
All the weatherstripping is likewise excellent throughout the car just like
on this door.
A quick aside, the original driver door mirror
thermometer - and it works, yes, it was 70 here this afternoon!
The original interior is phenomenal - no cracks
in the leather seats or dash, good original carpeting throughout, nothing
is overly faded or worn.
All this car's power options work as they should
- the Guidematic and Twilight Sentinel options, Climate Control (the A/C
blows cold as well!), Cruise Control - on and on. The original steering
wheel is nearly perfect, the woodgrain is intact and there are three very
small hairline cracks in the casting of the wheel itself.
Here's another image of the wheel. The camera
really picks up on these tiny cracks, I just would prefer they look worse
than better so that you're pleasantly surprised when you get the car. Just
so there is no confusion...
Both front seats (40/60 split driver/passenger)
have 6-way power adjustment, these both work without issue.
A non smoker!
Mileage as of this afternoon. I reserve the
right to put a few more test miles on the car prior to sale!
Another shot of the dash. You'll notice that
while the dash has not been modified, there's indeed a funny looking radio
in there...
The most recent owner of the car must not have
had enough music on 8-track, as he bought this RetroSound AM/FM Stereo with
dual AUX inputs and a Pioneer 6-CD changer (mounted under the passenger's
seat and remote controlled). It is a very clean and good working installation,
it even makes the antenna go up and down properly. He also changed all four
speakers with Infinity Reference Series 3.5" and 6x9" drivers
front and rear.
This installation is completely reversible -
the original radio is in great condition as are the original 10 ohm speakers.
In this photo you will also see the original stand-up hood ornament and
the hubcap key tool. I also put the owners manuals for the modern stereo
here.
Just a good shot of the perfectly working original
power antenna!
Like the driver's side, this door panel is also
in great original condition as is the weatherstripping around the door.
Another shot of the front seats.
Very good chance that nobody ever sat in the
rear seat!
Again from the left.
A very clean and original trunk compartment!
This and the corresponding electric trunk release
work perfectly! Nice thing about 1976, this all worked key on or off!
The original spare tire has never been on the
ground. You'll also note the last six digits of the chassis number marked
on the tire from new. This is incredible.
Under the hood, the fuel injected 500 CID Cadillac
V8 engine purrs cold or hot. It goes through the cold start cycle just as
it should and is very responsive off the line - just as it should be. I
had a fuel injected 1976 Fleetwood Talisman for many years that ran no less
well than this car did. When this car arrived here it had a slight miss
- turned out to be just a few dirty connectors under the air cleaner. If
only that slight green drip underneath had been so simple to fix...
The Cadillac dealer fitted a lot of correct
AC Delco replacement parts to this car, including the radiator, alternator,
A/C compressor and water pump not long ago. Unfortunately, the water pump
did not last very long as when the car arrived here it was dripping steadily.
I removed it and procured another new one...
The restorer's itch got to me, so the pump got
painted the correct Cadillac Blue as did the crankshaft pulley. I cleaned
the flex fan and water pump pulley and left them alone as they were in amazing
original condition with no damage. I also changed the lower radiator hose
as it was a bit on the rough side. Belts are newer Gates Green Stripe belts
and they did not require replacement. Naturally, I changed the antifreeze,
then warmed it up and dumped the oil, which I then changed along with a
new AC Delco PF24 filter and a quart of BG Shear Guard on top of the API-SJ
oil with lots of good ZDDP and molybdenum disulfate I keep on hand for old
cars. Finally, I addressed a low charge in the A/C, which once again blows
cold; it had been converted to R134a, I have an R12 substitute I like much
more.
All other fluids were checked and topped off
as needed. I was impressed with how much work had been done to this car
prior to it arriving here; apart from those items mentioned above, the car
has newer spark plugs and wires, AC and Power Steering hoses and some fuel
injection parts as well.
The air conditioning VIR (Valve In Receiver)
is also a newer replacement as is the heater valve and the windshield washer
pump (on the motor).
Underneath the car, all four shocks appear to
have been replaced at one time or another, perhaps also the sway bar end
links and bushings. The steering linkage is original and tight as are the
upper and lower control arm bushings front and rear. A newer center muffler
was fitted at one time but the rest of the pipe appears original, I replaced
a section just after the center muffler that had some small pin holes. I
also had the front end alignment checked and slightly adjusted so that the
car goes down the road very ably indeed.
The body tag details all the options with which
this car was built. I long ago forgot what most of these stand for! Not
every option was detailed here.

The Cadillac ATS has been a well-received entry into the small sport sedan segment for General Motors' premium brand, but keeping the model fresh is an understandably high priority. A two-door coupe variant is on the way and should help keep interest up, but the line's volume leader is still expected to be the sedan. In order to keep awareness high and sales going, GM will need to lavish a little attention on its four-door, as well. That's where the Crimson Sport Edition comes in. Crimson Red Metallic paint is the exterior highlight for this special-edition Cadillac, while the interior is complemented with a number of microsuede touchpoints, including the heated steering wheel and shifter. To this point, the car's rich burgundy finish has only been offered on CTS-V Coupe and Sport Wagon models, and brand spokesperson Donny Nordlicht tells Autoblog that this is the first time that the company has offered a microsuede wheel with heat. Four interior trims are also available, although all have been seen previously. The Crimson Sport will be limited to production this spring, and the trimmings can be added to either the 2.0T Performance or the V6 Premium specifications. Both rear- and all-wheel drive will be available, as well. Prices start at $46,010 for the turbocharged model and $51,010 for the V6 including destination fees, which represents a premium of $2,990 for the extra equipment.

Need to take a ride cross country in the lap of luxury while still getting some work done? Short of a tour bus, the Concept One Curve from Lexani Motorcars might be one of the most comfy options imaginable. Lexani is usually known for creating opulent armored vehicles, but for the Concept One Curve it focuses on converting a 2015 Cadillac Escalade into a place for work or play. The company strips out the standard passenger compartment to install a higher ceiling with LED lighting, two leather-upholstered power captain's chairs and jump seats. However, the real highlight is a 48-inch curved 4K television mounted against the driver's partition. Don't worry about missing your favorite shows because there's a TracVision Satellite, too. The driver gets a re-covered seat of their own up front. If business needs to get done, the vehicle also includes a Mac Mini computer, tables stowed in the seats and connections for video conferencing. Of course, if you're riding in something this lavish, security might be a concern too. In addition to the window shades, the Concept One Curve features cameras to know what's going on outside. A touchscreen management system lets occupants control the whole setup from the luxurious chairs. Lexani claims that if all of this somehow isn't enough for a buyer, it offers even more options to fit their needs. Scroll down to watch a video tour and read more about this rolling home theater. {C} Lexani Concept One Curve Lexani Motorcars, a boutique luxury conversion company receiving vast international praise, has produced the Concept One Curve - the world's first 2015 Escalade with a built-in 48" 4K Technology Curved Smart TV. Lexani Motorcars is constantly pushing the boundaries of possibility for luxury transportation in everyday vehicles. The Curve is a revisited version of their latest model, the Concept One, with a television upgrade and electronic rear curtains; it is unmatched in its ability to be a premier theater one minute and a five-star mobile office the next. The curved smart TV-which rests on a proprietary electronic partition-is indeed impressive, but it is just one of the numerous amenities this discreet masterpiece boasts.

President Obama has used the same armored limo since his inauguration in 2008. Known by many as The Beast, the Presidential Limo was provided by Cadillac and earned its nickname in large part because of its massive size, which isn't surprising considering that its Caddy-shaped bodywork is said to sit atop a heavy-duty truck chassis. It seems the Secret Service may be in the market for a Beast replacement, having issued a request for proposals for a new armored limo. According to Motor Trend, Obama's backup limo is a leftover from the Bush Administration, so it will be interesting to see if this new machine will serve as a replacement for The Beast or for its backup. The contract is to be awarded by September 29, 2013. The boys from MT contacted Cadillac, Lincoln and Chrysler, and Chrysler is the only one that would confirm that it is not pursuing the contract. Cadillac may have the inside track, as it has provided Presidential limos since 1993, but Lincoln also has a long and storied history of chauffeuring the President.
