1968 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe

In 1967 Cadillac transformed the Eldorado into a whole new “Personal Luxury” automobile. The all new Eldorado Coupe shared the Oldsmobile Toronado’s United Power Plant Package and front wheel drive set up. The redesigned Eldorado was a very crisp and distinct model that gave the brand a very modern and competitive edge in the luxury marketplace. The Eldorado was an instant success and for model year 1968 disc brakes became standard along with new safety features and by 1968.

I am pleased to offer this very rare and desirable 1968 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe presented in lovely Monterey Green Firemist Metallic over White leather and black interior. This Eldorado has had a repaint in its original Monterey Green Firemist some time ago and still looks very nice retaining an excellent shine. The original leather interior is great with absolutely no tears or fading. The driver door arm rest does show some cracking and wear. The original black carpets are still intact along with the cars original dashboard and vinyl headliner. The car still retains its original Cadillac wheels, steering wheel, radio, and all of its original interior and exterior trim. This Eldorado starts right up and runs very well, it idles very nicely and the transmission shifts smoothly without any issues. The brakes feel great, the suspension feels nice and is free from any rattles or squeaks. The chrome on the exterior looks nice but does show a little pitting on the lower and a couple bubble spots on the lower area. The body is very straight and accident and dent free. There are a couple spots that are bubbling under the paint, one on the lower left hood and a couple small spots in the trunk area. The headlights are powered by vacuum assist and work well, all of the lights work. All of the exterior lights are working, the reverse lights, side marker lights and headlights are all working. Interior lights work, the power windows are in working order and even the power seats are in working order. Original spare tire in in truck. This Cadillac is a very nice original low-mile car that had become increasingly hard to find over the past few years. If you are looking for a very nice, well maintained and rare original early Eldorado Coupe this is it, an extremely handsome and nice example.

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.

GM recalling Cadillac ATS, XTS, Chevy Impala over faulty brake lamps

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

General Motors has issued a recall covering 1,627 sedans over faulty brake lamps. Both the 2013 Cadillac ATS and XTS are affected by this problem, as is the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
According to an official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, "the brake lamps may intermittently flash without the brakes being applied and the cruise control may disengage" on these vehicles. The report does not state that the brakes themselves are faulty, but rather that "if the brake lamps flash when the vehicle is not slowing, a following driver may not adjust vehicle speed when the vehicle is in fact braking."
This marks the first recall for the 2013 Cadillac ATS, as well as the recently introduced 2014 Chevy Impala. In late 2012, over 12,000 Cadillac XTS models were recalled due to a head restraint issue.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
