1984 was the first year that an option of RPO-YP8 was offered from the factory on the Cadillac Eldorado via the dealerships. Cadillac didn't actually build the convertibles in-house and, instead, contracted ASC/McLaren to convert the cars to fulfill the orders received via the dealers.

ASC is best known for being the same company that built the Buick GNX and special edition Ford Mustang, in addition to many other specialty-optioned cars. ASC also pioneered and developed the factory sunroof for most American cars.

There were 3,300 produced in 1984 and only 2,300 in 1985. Most of the cars were ordered with nearly every single dealer option prior to being delivered to ASC.

Some of the notable examples were an upgraded, heavier version of the "touring suspension," to compensate for the extra weight of the convertible as well as a 3:15 axle ratio to make it a bit quicker. It also features a heavy duty cooling system that has an upgraded intercooler for the engine and transmission. The only 2 options that the Convertibles could not get were the Bose sound system and memory seats. The buttons that would control the seats were, instead, used to lower the rear windows and the Bose package featuring enlarged speakers was omitted due to the fact there was no room in the rear for the larger speakers due to the convertible mechanisms.

The car also received several modifications to reinforce the frame, subframe and support beams. This makes the underbody of the convertible more durable than the coupe as well as create a near 50/50 weight distribution.

This particular car is originally from California and wears its original dealer bezel from Symes Cadillac around the license plate. At just over 32,000 miles, (actual mileage increases slightly due to weekend cruising) this car is virtually new.

There are a few flaws to the car, however. The most noticeable is that the bumper fillers are missing; they succumbed to dry rot and haven't been replaced yet. Other faults include a few minor tears in the driver's side arm rest and a bad muffler. Otherwise, there is no rust on this car.

It runs and drives like a Cadillac should. The brakes were recently redone and the tires replaced before it made the trip down from Wisconsin. I have full receipts for around $2,000.00 worth of brake work to verify this. It has a clean Wisconsin title and is located in Tomball, TX; always stored indoors with the top up.

The pictures speak for the quality of this car. It's nearly all original with only rubber components (belts, hoses, tires, etc) and brake parts being replaced. It's hard to find a car from this era in this condition, let alone one with so few miles.

I have a realistic reserve and, if the car doesn't sell, I will hold on to it. I have the car listed locally on Craigslist and reserve the right to end the listing early if I get an acceptable offer.

2018 Cadillac XTS does its best CT6 impression

Mon, Jun 19 2017

Although the Cadillac sedan lineup almost exclusively consists of rear-drive sedans, one last bastion of the old front-drive Caddy exists in the XTS. And it looks like the old-school XTS isn't going anywhere, since it just got a refresh that makes it look more like the CT6 and the CTS. This of course is a bit ironic considering the fact that the CT6 will look different in the near future. Until then, though, this update does make the XTS look more up-to-date. The main part of the headlights end higher up on the front fascia, while a strip of LED accent lights waterfall down the front bumper. The grille has slightly more sculpted slats, and the front badge has been scaled down a bit. There are no longer creases that unify the main grille and the lower one in the bumper, which help the car appear lower and wider than the outgoing model. At the back, the license plate position has been moved down to the bumper, and the trunk lid has more lines and creases. The taillights now have horizontal elements that extend toward the middle of the car. The exhaust finishers and the reverse light also look larger and more prominent now. The refreshed XTS also brings a couple of new trim options. There are new wheel designs both in 19- and 20-inch sizes. Inside, XTS buyers will be able to choose from three new color and upholstery combinations. Two of them, however, are exclusive to the Platinum trim level and come with semi-aniline leather seats. There's not really anything new mechanically with the 2018 XTS. The only major change seems to be a new tire design that is quieter and provides a smoother ride. Otherwise, the XTS will remain available with either the standard 3.6-liter V6 making 304 horsepower, or the optional 410-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 in the V-Sport model. The standard engine comes with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and the V-Sport is only available with all-wheel drive. Pricing has yet to be released for the 2018 model year.

Cadillac shows 2015 Escalade interior

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Following the reveal of the new GMC Yukon, Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, the next in line is Cadillac, which is set to unveil the new Escalade on October 7 in New York. And in the lead-up to the reveal, the company has released this third teaser image, giving us a good glimpse of the 'Slade's interior.
Or part of the interior, we should say, because while the image above clearly shows the new dashboard and center console, as well as parts of the front seats and interior door panels, the Escalade is most certainly not a two-seat coupe. The outgoing Escalade can accommodate up to eight in either standard or ESV form (but not in EXT pickup configuration), and the new model promises to deliver the same, and we're curious to see what Cadillac has in store for the rear passenger compartment.
Compared to its more accessible counterparts, the new Escalade clearly offers a more upscale environment than even the uplevel Yukon Denali, with softer-looking leather, richer wood veneer and a waterfall center infotainment console that's different from the more modular design in the Chevy and GMC. The steering wheel is also unique and the instrument cluster appears to meld more smoothly across the dashboard, but the door mirrors, wide center armrest, column shifter and A-pillar grab handle all look like they were carried over from the Escalade's platform mates.

2016 Cadillac CT6 shows crisp sense of style in leaked images

Tue, Mar 31 2015

You're looking at the 2016 Cadillac CT6, aided by the almost inevitable internet-aided leak, ahead of its debut at the New York Auto Show this week. As you can see, the overall shape is straight-edged and aggressive, and overall in keeping with what we've seen from Cadillac over the last several years. High-tech lighting clusters extend from the fender peaks all the way down in what appear to be LED strips toward the lower fascia and its rectangular fog lights. A suitably massive grille encrusted in chrome boasts one of the larger Wreath and Crest badges we've ever witnessed on a car. Under that sharply creased hood will sit a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine with 400 horsepower at its disposal, according to Cadillac, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. A naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6 will also be available, we're told. We may wish for an edgier range-topping sedan from Cadillac, but it's not really fair to draw any real conclusions from just one leaked image. In other words, stay tuned, 'cause the rest of the story won't be far behind.
