1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. Last year for the full size Eldorado.

Probably one of the nicest example ever to hit ebay. This is really a buying opportunity. This car has been kept in a temperature controlled environment, as part of a collection. I rarely ever sell a car from my collection, but another opportunity has become available and space being an issue ( you can't ever have enough) I've decided to sell it. I am not a car dealer, nor do I buy cars with the intent to just turn them. I had looked long and hard before finding this one. The car has 11,258 original very well documented miles, as records of the state inspection were kept, and will remain with the car. Everything works and performs as it should. I've included lots of pictures from just about every conceivable angle in order to show the cars condition, even a shot of the carburetor. I've taken close up pictures of the factory pin stripes, which show the factory connection where the two stripes meet which are actually one piece, in order to show that it's all original paint under them, with the exception of the plastic filler ends, which have been replaced. The glass is in perfect condition, no scratches. I welcome by appointment anyone that wants to view the car in person. This car was also featured in a hard cover book about Cadillacs, and it represents the 1978 model year. I've included pictures of the car in the book as well as the photograph that was taken at the time, in order to prove it's legitimacy. If you're looking for a super nice example for your collection, this is the car. There is no rust anywhere on this car, not even in the normal known locations, and the reason is because of how it has been stored. The # 1 thing to consider as it reflects everything about the car. When I purchased this Cadillac, the original tires were still on the car, but because of their age, the tires were starting to show signs that would not be safe to drive, and since I wanted to take the car to local car shows, I decided it was better to replace them.  When the original tires were removed, I took that opportunity to have the factory wheels ash blasted and re-coated with the proper black tone. The new tires are the proper size Vogue White Wall Yellow Stripe as seen in the pictures. Tires still show the nipple strands from production as they have hardly any miles on them.  Included with the car are all the rare factory books with samples of interior and exterior options, these books are rare and are highly collectible and have sold for hundreds of dollars in this condition. Also included are the original Cadillac keys given out by the dealer at the time of the original purchase and still in it's original packet. The owners manual as well as all the other booklets are still in excellent condition and will remain with the car.

The term you get what you pay for applies here, those that are hard core collectors know this better than anyone else.

The picture were taken about a week ago, and nothing including the engine compartment has been all dolled up just for the pictures. You're looking at the car pretty much the way that I got it.

The pictures were taken with the eye of a real collector (me) with plenty of automotive background and history knowledge. The pictures were also taken so that you could see what I would be looking for, when I'm on the hunt for a super nice car. Condition of rubber and seals in general, and in this cars case in exceptional condition. The reflection side shot, tells a lot about the side panels, your looking for abnormal distorted reflections, this car has none. The body lines and the joints, the chrome including all moldings, the wheel wells, the door jams. Interior you're looking at the molding, dash, door panels for any signs of unusual wear or warpness for the mileage and the stated condition of the car, you want to make sure it matches. If it sounds like I'm way too picky, I am, I've been told by other car enthusiast like myself this many times, but hey, cars have always been a big part of my life.

Note: The car is not from Montana as the license plate would have you believe, but when I saw that plate on ebay, I couldn't pass on the opportunity to buy it for this car.



If you have any questions about this car please feel free to ask.

2017 Cadillac XT5 will debut in Dubai

Tue, Sep 8 2015

Cadillac confirmed the 2017 XT5 crossover – the replacement for the SRX – will officially debut at the Dubai Motor Show in November. The XT5 will then make its first North American appearance at the Los Angeles Auto Show later that month. The current SRX is a hugely important vehicle for Cadillac – it's still the company's best-selling product worldwide. But it's pretty old now, having launched in 2009 as a 2010 model. The XT5 will bolster all of the good things about the SRX while finally bringing that product up to date. Above, you can see a spy shot of what looks to be the new XT5, caught during a photo shoot. "The XT5 will be the cornerstone of a series of crossovers bearing the 'XT' designation," Cadillac said in a statement. We've long known that Cadillac wants to add a CUV between the XT5 and its flagship Escalade. But we think there's also room for something smaller – a proper fighter to the expanding entry-level luxury crossover segment that includes the Mercedes-Benz GLA, BMW X1, upcoming Infiniti QX30, and more. We'll have more information on the 2017 XT5 this week. In addition to the auto show news, Cadillac confirmed it will have a few photos and details to share in the coming days. Stay tuned.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

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.
