Orlando, Florida, United States

1976 ELDORADO CONVERTIBLE Beautiful Firemist Green with white top. Only 59,000 miles.Very good condition and all original except for a new top, new tires, new door interior upholstery and new OEM carpets which have all been replaced within last two years. Has had a brand new A/C compressor installed and full air conditioning service done in the past month. The power top operates properly as do all four passenger windows. Even the clock still works! This car has its original paint which appears to be in good condition and the non-fuel injected 500 cu inch engine which runs exceptionally well and shifts smoothly.The car drives very well with no hesitation or steering issues. There are no oil drips under the engine and no blue exhaust smoke. The body is straight and there are virtually no dings or dents. The chrome appears to be in excellent condition. The flexible fender fillers appear to have been replaced at some time in the past, but are in very good condition. This car has virtually all the convenience options Cadillac offered in 1976 including the usual P/S, P/B, P/W, tilt and telescoping wheel, cruise control, power antenna, white leather 6-way seats, power door locks, cornering lights, remote control mirrors, AM-FM 8-track tape unit, remote trunk release, power pull-down trunk lid, glass rear window with electric defogger and even the optional trumpet horns. All options work except Cruise Control, but all parts are intact. There is a small (1/4") wear spot on the piping on the driver's side of the front center arm rest and the beginnings of two cracks in the front passengers seat. The original 8-track tape unit was replaced with a cassette tape player a few years ago, but the original 8-track unit as well as a large box of 70's and 80's tapes are included. Also included are the 1976 Cadillac Shop Manual, the corresponding Fisher Body manual plus all original documentation including the Owner's Manual and the original window sticker. This car has been garage-kept for the past 37 years and has been driven only short distances about once a month to keep the seals lubricated. I believe this car is a solid #3 or better condition with an excellent potential to be either fully restored or used as a daily driver. More pictures available. |

Cadillac still planning for big things in China
Sat, 20 Apr 2013Despite some hiccups, China remains the auto industry's great hope for new vehicle sales, with significant sales gains and a huge upside. Nowhere is that hope more fervent than at General Motors, which offers eight different marques in the Asian nation. China has been GM's single biggest market the last three years running, and is unlikely to give up that title anytime soon. Yet its premiere brand, Cadillac, has remained essentially stagnant, selling just 30,000 units in China last year. That's in a segment where sales of luxury vehicles has outpaced that of the larger Chinese market. So what gives?
According to Cadillac officials Autoblog spoke with in China this week at the Shanghai Motor Show, it's been a problem of product - they haven't had the right ones. Displacement taxation issues, import tariffs and currency fluctuations have all conspired to make the brand's products less appealing than they might otherwise have been. But GM is stepping on the gas with Cadillac, and executives are eyeballing 100,000 sales by 2016 - more than triple the Wreath and Crest's current volume. And the expectations for the brand only get more ambitious from there - they're shooting for 10 percent of the luxury market by 2020. Bob Socia, President of GM China, promises that there will be a new Caddy launched in the market each year from now through 2016 and most will be built in China. Characterizing the company's efforts to revive the brand's fortunes as a "relaunch" of sorts, Cadillac also figures to gain dealers as GM expands its sales outlet footprint westward.
New products like a made-in-China XTS sedan (with a market-specific 2.0-liter four-cylinder to avoid heavy displacement taxes) will help, and Socia hinted that the ATS sport sedan could be next in line for in-country production. The SRX crossover - currently the brand's best-selling model in China - will also likely get a long look for future local production when the next-generation model is introduced. In the meantime, Cadillac unveiled the Escalade ESV Hybrid (shown above) as its latest model addition to capitalize on the market's white-hot luxury SUV segment.
Carpool Deville aims to be the world's fastest hot tub
Wed, 16 Jul 2014The world needs crazy inventors with wild dreams. While we might not long for the things that they create, their contraptions certainly make the day a little more enjoyable. Take the Carpool Deville as an example. Nobody (well, almost nobody) is asking for a hot tub fashioned from a 1969 Cadillac that is still drivable. But now that you know that such a beast exists, don't try to tell us you aren't at least intrigued.
The team behind the six-year-long project has a pretty ingenious setup worked out. The Caddy's original 472-cubic-inch (7.7-liter) V8 both provides propulsion and heats the water. The interior is entirely replaced with a watertight, fiberglass tub that includes working jets, and the controls are all done by hand.
As if just building a mobile hot tub isn't enough, the team behind the Carpool Deville plans to take it racing too. Specifically, they intend to go to the Bonneville Salt Flats later this year to make a top speed run while immersed in water at over 100 degrees. They even have a roll cage all set to install to meet the safety requirements there.
OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles
Thu, 06 Jun 2013As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.
