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 first details about the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V recently hit the web ahead of the official debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Now, the latest model to wear Caddy's high-performance V moniker is officially official, and the specs are even better than initial rumors suggested. The latest figures actually give the ATS-V a hair more power than first believed, with 455 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque pumping out of the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6. With a standard electronic limited-slip differential keeping rear wheels in check, Cadillac claims that the model sprints to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 185 mph. Buyers have two transmission choices that both offer launch control: a six-speed manual featuring Active Rev Match and no-lift shifting, or an eight-speed automatic. Thoroughly revised suspension and braking systems should also mean that the ATS-V excels at more than just going in a straight line. The chassis itself receives extra bracing to boost overall stiffness by 25 percent over lesser ATS models. On top of that, a host of suspension upgrades front and rear, including third-generation Magnetic Ride Control dampers, mean quicker steering response and a tighter ride. Plus, Brembo six-piston calipers up front and four-pistons in the rear should bring rapid deceleration. To tune it all to the driver's whim, the Performance Traction Management system gives five settings to choose from for stability and traction control.

The Cadillac Escalade has pushed incrementally up-market over the years. From its humble Chevy/GMC truck underpinnings, the latest Escalade starts at $72,970 and tops out at $96,940. But according to the latest reports, Cadillac is weighing an even more upscale version. Though the exact nature of the upgrades that would push the Escalade further up-market remain unknown – and perhaps undecided at this point – the impetus for such a move is crystal clear. European luxury SUVs keep getting more and more expensive, both from established players and new challengers. Bentley just launched the Bentayga, and other luxury marques like Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Maserati, and Lamborghini are all getting into the game. All the while manufacturers like Land Rover and Mercedes-Benz keep rolling out ever more expensive offerings, like the Range Rover Autobiography and anticipating forthcoming Maybach sport-ute. To challenge those European imports with their astronomic price tags, Cadillac could go with an even higher trim level than its existing Platinum spec – or it could go with a more powerful, performance-oriented Escalade V or Vsport. Getting that big a vehicle to hustle would require a lot of power, but then General Motors has never been one to shy away from slotting a bigger engine into its vehicles. One thing's for certain though, and that's that Cadillac isn't quite done with pushing the Escalade higher up the market.
