1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz,  Beautiful low mile example of the Last of the Full size (larger than Life Eldos.). Very desirable color combination of white, with white pillow interior and red accents. I purchased this car indirectly from the original owner, I am the second registered owner.  The car came from Maryland.  It has obviously been garaged and cared for all its life with only 22,000 + miles on it.   Due probably to lack of use just before it was sold to me it is obvious that someone went through the cooling system and fuel system completely and professionally reconditioning or replacing the radiator,  heater core, restored carburetor, sealed and cleaned fuel tank, radiator Hoses, fuel hoses, etc. Anything that should be considered before driving it trouble free to NJ from Maryland. Also has like new wide white radial tires. I have used the car for local car shows and ice cream stand runs very limited for the time I have owned it. I changed the oil and filters, added ZDP , I  serviced the transmission oil and filter. I purchased the car to take place of other collector cars I own because I wanted something stately and user friendly, and safe for my kid to be in.  Due to limited space and some changes in life I would like to try to Pass The Torch, and sell for what I have invested in it.  This is a true car of integrity, It runs like a Swiss watch, Rides like a living room couch. And it  glows like it is plugged into the wall. Climate control. power seats, brakes, windows, Trunk, Automatic headlight dimmer, split power front seats, Leather pillow interior, cruise control, 4 wheel disc brakes, 4 way stereo with working 8-track tape player. Factory cadillac CB radio. Rear window defog,  Etc.  Has original space saver spare and jack, trunk floor mat. original cadillac floor mats. original owners manual. The condition of the car speaks for itself as far as being an honest cared for low mile car in that the interior is like new, the chrome is beautiful, All the pot metal is perfect with no pitting. Even the insides of the ash trays and cigar lighters are immaculate. The condition of the underside is such that many of the factory markings and tags from the assembly line are in place, the exhaust system is clean and complete with catalytic converter, muffler and resonator.
    To answer a few things about the car that knowledgable caddy people are likely to ask,,,  The front and rear filler extensions on this car have been replaced with reproduction ABS fillers. The air ride hight sensor was not working so I removed it along with the original rear shocks and installed a set of Monroe air shocks with a manual air valve under the rear bumper. I bagged and tagged the old parts to be kept with the car.    Although all components are in place, the air conditioner   Does Not Work  , I never bothered to try servicing it because I do not use the car enough. It does appear to have the newer freon connectors as opposed to the old R-12. 
    Important notes,,,,,  My description is honest,  Yet please understand that the car is being sold as is usually the case with No Warranties, it is an old car that is to be accepted as-is. I would also appreciate a hand to hand transaction and have you or someone look the car over.  However,,  I will not take the car to some garage and have it poked and probed. Also I have no problem with over seas buyers, but I cannot in these days and times give out personal info or fill out forms for import reasons.  So if anyone over seas is interested in the car please know the ropes,, Have someone here who can see and purchase for you. This only the second time this car has been available for purchase since it was bought new. ( I have the original owners name), It will not be one of those forever Ebay listings, If the car shows no series interest I am going to put it on Jack stands in the garage and forget that I own it for ten years.  I reserve the right to remove the listing at any time. Payment of $400. deposit within 24 hours of sale  , remainder to be paid bank transfer, certified check, payment in person is preferred. buyer responsible for any and all shipping expenses .  Thanks for looking.

Cadillac snags de Nysschen from Infiniti, names him new president

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

Johan de Nysschen, the (now former) president of Infiniti, has officially jumped ship. The 54-year-old, who also spent time as the chief executive for Audi USA, has taken the position of president at Cadillac, following a two-year stint at the Nissan-owned luxury brand. In his new role, the 54-year-old will be responsible "for all aspects of Cadillac globally," according to a statement from General Motors.
"Johan brings to our company vast experience in the development and proper execution of luxury automotive brands," said GM President Dan Ammann, de Nysschen's new boss. "With over 20 years in this exact space, especially in the development of the Audi brand, his track record proves he is the perfect executive to lead Cadillac for the long term."
"I have for some time now been impressed by how the new General Motors has been transformed into a formidable force in the industry," de Nysschen said in a statement. "The combination of strong corporate leadership and exceptional engineering resources presents the perfect combination to restore Cadillac to its place among global premium brands."

Cadillac ATS Coupe headed for Detroit reveal

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without its two-door models. But the XLR has been discontinued for over four years now, the Elmiraj concept may never see production and the future of the CTS Coupe is still up in the air. That leaves just the ELR, which may not be conventional enough for traditional Cadillac coupe buyers. Fortunately a new coupe is coming along to fill the void.
According to Edmunds, Cadillac will reveal the new ATS coupe just a couple of months from now at the Detroit Auto Show. Expected to mechanically mirror the existing ATS sedan, the new coupe will also more conventionally resemble its four-door counterpart than the CTS, whose coupe version was distinguished by a rakishly sloping roofline.
Expect the same choice of engines to carry over, with a 2.5-liter four serving as the base engine, and both a 2.0-liter turbo four and a 3.6-liter V6 offering more power for those looking for that extra bit of oomph. Following the Detroit reveal, sources anticipate the ATS coupe to go on sale next summer.

Cadillac boss: We will have diesels

Tue, Aug 18 2015

Johan de Nysschen doesn't usually mince words about his plans, and the Cadillac boss says that diesel-fueled models are on the horizon for the luxury brand in the US by the early 2020s. The four- and six-cylinder engines under development would launch first in Europe about 2019. "We will definitely bring them to the US," de Nysschen said during a press event, according to Automotive News. Unfortunately, the Cadillac president isn't saying which models would get the diesels, yet. This plan has been in the works for at least several months, and Cadillac made mention of the two oil-burners earlier this year during the unveiling of its new V6 engine. De Nysschen broached the possibility during an interview at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, and he also referred to the inclusion of hybrids and plug-ins into the company's lineup at that time. Last year, a rumor suggested the addition of a V6 turbodiesel into the Escalade range. There were also rumblings of an oil-burning ATS during that model's launch. While Cadillac is no stranger to offering diesels in Europe, the decision to develop these new ones could come at an inopportune time. Governments there are rapidly moving against the fuel in favor of electrification. Tighter emissions regulations could also be on the way for the EU. Related Video:
