The 1972 Cadillac Eldorado is considered by some enthusiasts as the most desirable of the 1970's line of Eldorado convertibles due to it's low production of only 6,800 models in 1972 (compared to 14,000 in the last year of 1976) and obviously due to being ridiculously fast for a car of it's size and weight with the high 365 horsepower 500 c.i. 8.2L V8 engine (only produced in the 1971-72 models and drastically reduced to only 235HP in 1973; 210HP in 1974 and 190HP in 1975-76!).
Original 91K miles! Always garaged kept since new considering it's completely rust free body with no sun or element damage whatsoever! The car has it's original factory color paint 'Patrician Covert Firemist' color paint (Code 94) with its lovely matching and original 'Dark Jade' color Sierra Grain Leather interior and with a brand new matching original beige color soft top with a plexiglass rear window. The car looks extremely striking with virtually no noticeable imperfections. The car has a brand new professionally fitted beige power soft top and headliner. The 'Dark Jade' color leather interior seats do have some age cracks in them as this was my Grandfathers vehicle, and he did not want to do a thing to it. The car has its original matching color carpeting and dashboard which are also in gorgeous all original shape with no wear or discoloration in the carpet and no cracks or blemishes in the dash! The vehicle comes with two Parade covers that will cover the convertible top when down, one is light beige same as the top, and the other is Sierra which is the same color as the interior.
All the car's options are working including all the power windows, the power soft top, lighters, cruise control. The original engine with 92K original miles is extremely strong and powerful and this particular car drives absolutely magnificently - must be driven to be appreciated and seen to be believed - drives straight as an arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles!
The car has a recent new fuel pump, air cleaner, spark plugs, electronic ignition, front rotors, and pads, and calipers vacuum advance unit, passenger door lock actuator, right and left brake hoses, P/S high pressure hose, new Holly 750 carburetor, front wheel bearings and left & right outer CV boot, new upper and lower ball joints, new P235/75R15 tires, battery, shocks, (Stock Radio is in the dash, works, just needs a fuse, as my cousin installed a new radio in the glove box, 500 watt amp, with JDM speakers mounted in the trunk with speakers.
This is a rare opportunity to own an unabused example of an obviously always garaged kept desirable 1972 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible in this highly striking color combination with only some 92K original miles and no signs of any rust or accidents. This must therefore be considered a very rare example of this most desirable 1972 year of production of this decades last mass produced drop-top and a great investment that's sure to appreciate over the years for any American classic car collector of obviously any Cadillac enthusiast!
Note I took close up photos of the rocker panels as to show that there is absolutely no rust on this vehicle. This is the ultimate head turner. The car still has all of the original factory tags still under the hood, door jams, and on the frame.
You are not going to find a cleaner, better runner, three owner 1972 drop top then this one right here.

Cadillac previews CT6 interior and its 34 Bose speakers
Fri, Mar 27 2015We get an early monochrome look at the upcoming Cadillac CT6 interior thanks to its stereo system. Bose will debut its Panaray Sound System in the flagship sedan and have 34 speakers located throughout the cabin that will have the occupants bathing in sound. A close look at the interior mock-up shows little visible difference between the CT6 and the praised CTS; the only thing we could find was that the headrests are slightly different and the seat switches have been moved to the doors, a la Mercedes-Benz. As for that Panaray, Bose says it incorporates elements from the company's home and professional audio products, and was designed "exclusively" for this car. We don't know if that means it was tuned for the CT6 or that it will only ever be available on the CT6. Nor do we have any detailed specs on it at the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more tidbits and a high-res graphic above with details on each speaker. Bose Introduces First-of-its-Kind Panaray® Sound System for First-Ever Cadillac CT6 Advanced automotive sound system integrates elements from home products DETROIT, 2015-03-26 – Thirty-five years ago, Bose and Cadillac defined premium automotive audio, forever changing how people listen to music in a vehicle. Now Bose is introducing its most advanced and highest-performing automotive sound system – the Bose® Panaray® system, designed exclusively for the Cadillac CT6 sedan. The 2016 CT6 is a first in its segment, combining the prestige and technology of a range-topping vehicle with the dynamics and efficiency of a smaller one. The Panaray system marks the global debut of Bose Automotive's new line of "Advanced Technology Series" sound systems, integrating technologies and design elements from Bose home entertainment and professional audio products to deliver unprecedented performance in a car. "We asked Bose to create something truly special for this new vehicle: an unbounded sound system, providing an audio experience unmatched in any other luxury automobile," said Travis Hester, Cadillac CT6 executive chief engineer. "Cadillac CT6 customers will be elated by what they hear and feel when they switch on the Bose Panaray system." The Bose® Panaray® system reproduces music with more clarity, precision and deep bass than any system preceding it.
GM reports third straight sales drop in China in 2020
Wed, Jan 6 2021BEIJING — General Motors' vehicle sales in China fell 6.2% in 2020, as the U.S. automaker suffered a prolonged slowdown in the world's biggest auto market. GM, China's second biggest foreign automaker, delivered 2.9 million vehicles in the country last year, the company said on Wednesday, for a third straight decline in annual sales. But sales have been recovering in the second half of last year, up 12% between July and September and 14% in the final three months. GM has a Shanghai-based joint venture with SAIC Motor, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicle brands are made. It also has another Liuzhou-based venture, with SAIC and Guangxi Automobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of its Buick brand grew 4% on the year and Wuling rose 9%, the statement said. Luxury brand Cadillac's sales increased 8%. Sales of GM's more affordable Baojun brand dropped 33% last year, while sales of its mass-market Chevrolet tumbled 30%. GM's delivery of 2.9 million vehicles in China follows 3.09 million vehicles in 2019, 3.65 million vehicles in 2018, and 4.04 million in 2017, for a three-year decrease of 28%.
Here are all the cars GM is axing as part of its restructuring
Tue, Nov 27 2018GM plans to kill off a couple of great and a few meh cars as part of its restructuring. Here's a rundown of all the cars being phased out of production. None of the vehicles GM axed were SUVs or crossovers. Instead, it was an action reminiscent of what Ford recently decided to do by discontinuing U.S. sales every Blue Oval sedan. GM just didn't explicitly say, "We're killing our cars," like Ford did — probably a smart move by GM. Keep scrolling down to see the full list of deceased GM models. Chevrolet Volt This one was the most surprising of all the cars GM decided to can, primarily because cars with plugs are supposed to be our future. However, maybe consumer demand just isn't quite there yet for a plug-in like the Volt. We came up with all sorts of ideas for what was to blame for the untimely demise of the Volt, so go check that out for a full breakdown of the situation. Cadillac CT6 Here's another car we'll be sad to see go. Cadillac's flagship sedan was such a joy to drive, and it served as the conduit to deliver GM's semi-autonomous Super Cruise system, which still hasn't been surpassed by any other company's technology in our books, even Tesla's Autopilot. That being said, GM does plan to produce the CT6 until March, with the last cars coming off the line set to be twin-turbo V8 V-Series models. If it's going to go, this seems like a pretty great way to make an exit. We'll be patiently awaiting the next flagship Cadillac once this one finally fades away. Chevrolet Impala The Impala is actually a pretty good car. It doesn't sell terribly, and we think it's a completely satisfactory car to drive. However, people would rather have a Traverse or Equinox these days, making the Impala one of the vehicles to find itself on this list. Chevrolet is keeping its smaller brother, the Malibu, but a big, full-size sedan just isn't what people are ordering up these days. It's unfortunate to see it go, but we won't be broken up over it. Chevrolet Cruze We wouldn't rank the Cruze at the top of the compact car class, but if you were looking for a small, cheap American car, it was either this or the Focus. The Cruze had the potential to be a true small performance car if Chevy had ever wanted to make it into one. But sadly, we're seeing it bow out before Chevy ever tried to slot a hot engine and suspension in there to make it competitive with other hot hatches. A Cruze SS would have made enthusiasts take notice.
