Classic 1997 Cadillac Eldorado Etc Touring Coupe 2-door Emaculate/pristine on 2040-cars
Mesa, Arizona, United States
Have you noticed that most of the cars listed here
on ebay are from the Rust Bucket States like New Jersey, New York, Illinois and
yes, even Pennsylvania? Talk to any mechanic, and they will tell you that the
bolts break off the end of almost every single connection on the car. Little bubbles appear in the paint job at
most of the wheel wells and the floor boards feel springy when you get in. My Mechanic will not even do an oil change on
an “Eastern Sea Board” car as they seem to bend once you get them on a rack and
something always goes wrong with the car even on minor maintenance. Yes, some car’s are advertised as being kept
in a heated garage but unless you do a complete undercarriage car wash after every
time you drive it, well, you get the picture.
People flock to Florida for the “little Old Lady” syndrome for low
mileage and excellent care of the car. Don’t
kid yourself; you have no idea of the
damage living near the Salt Water of Florida does to a car. Out in Arizona, we have every major Airline in the
world parking their 747’s in storage as a plane stored In Arizona is like
having a time capsule. Even the United States
Government parked their World War II planes at Davis Monthan Air Force Base in
Tucson. Even the DEA parks their
confiscated planes there as they may sit there for years before trial. We also have Sun City, the original housing
development created by Del Webb for retirement folks over age 65. Arizona is probably the only place in the
Nation that you can truly find a “clean” used car. We have an auction out here called Barrett-Jackson Classic Car
Auction where you can find million dollar cars.
Only a true connoisseur of fine
automobiles are even going to know the name of Barret-Jackson, but real
collectors do. Don’t
make a mistake. You can buy a car here
really cheap from one of the Rust Bucket States or you can buy a pristine car,
well kept and truly a “keeper”. My
private collection is constantly updated with classic cars that will sooner or
later end up at Barret-Jackson. Look at
a 1958 Cadillac listed at a quarter of a million dollars and you will get a
clue. The first car I ever bought new
was a 66 Corvette. Kept my used Jaguar XKE because I just had an idea that it
would go up in value. I was right. The
next new car I bought was a 1969 Mustang 428 from a garage owned by a former
race car driver called Carroll Shelby. I
did pretty well with that one also. The
Cobra from the same garage was my best hit.
Certain cars have that look and feel that will eventually put them in
the “hall of fame”. When people stop and
turn their heads to stare, you have a pretty good idea your on to the right
model. Certain cars have what is called
curb appeal and those cars are the first ones that sell on a lot as opposed to
the plane Jane’s that sit on the rear of the lot and never get any
attention. Did you ever wonder why Cops
write twice as many speeding tickets to “red” cars as they do “Black”
cars? It’s not because they speed twice
as often, it’s because a red car will even make a cop turn his head to
look. Unlike
most people here on ebay, I am in no big hurry to sell my cars. I always like to update my collection and ad
new and exciting cars to it. I offer a
few of my cars from time to time to increase my collection, not reduce it. I usually ad money to what ever I sell and go
out and seek a rare and collectible. If
it is from my collection, you can be assured it is low mileage, cherry and
destined for greatness. It didn’t take a Rocket Scientist to know that a 57
Chevy or a 65 Mustang was going to light up the collectors boards. It’s the sleepers that are difficult to spot
and what was very much in demand the day they were bought (think 63 Corvette
split window coupe or Gull Wing Mercedes) will end up being collectors cars
when you least expect it. OFFERED
FOR SALE: 1997 Cadillac Eldorado ETC a truly classic Touring Car. Fire Engine Red with immaculate leather interior. Just look at the other cars offered here on ebay and look closely at the cracks In their seat leather and you will soon discover what the advantage of being kept in an Air Conditioned Garage is. A/C is also a dehumidifier and that removes the moisture from the air taking away water that not only causes Rust, but also removes the dryness from real leather. Sitting down in the car is like sitting on the show room floor. This car has less than 64000 miles on it and the last ten years it has been driven less than a thousand miles per year. Yes, you heard that right. According to AutoCheck, this car was driven less than Ten Thousand miles in the last ten years and stored in an air conditioned garage for its entire life. My mechanic spent the last three days going through this car trying to find something wrong. He Couldn’t. He didn’t want to return it either as his wife fell in love with the car. Don’t miss out on this one. A real classic are far and few between and you might not see one this nice for quite a while to come. If you have ever wondered what the true meaning of the word "antique" or Classic really means, simply compare it to the day it was made. If it was truly a work of art the day it was built, it will still be a piece of art fifty years later. Build a piece of junk and no matter how old it is, it will still be junk when it arrives on the antique market. That can never be said about the classic lines or design artwork on a Cadillac Eldorado. Quality is built in, not given freely on some advertising brochure. This fine piece of History was garage kept it's entire life. It has never left the cover of it's air conditioned sealed and locked garage unless it was in use. Stored in an environmental controlled condition since the day of manufacture, this car shows it. One look at it's pristine luxury interior and you know the car was well kept, well loved and preserved for the ages. Not every car can become a classic, but this one was destined for History the day it was built. Don't miss your opportunity of owning a truly great piece of History, the Cadillac Eldorado. |

Cadillac will kill the plug-in ELR
Tue, Feb 2 2016Johan de Nysschen, president of General Motors' Cadillac division, says Caddy's ELR extended-range plug-in won't have any future generations, Automotive News (subs. req.) says. The publication previously reported that the car would be around for another couple of years, but even that's questionable, and the model could be yanked even sooner. Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell confirmed that there won't be a second-generation ELR. "Subsequent generations of the car will not be developed," he wrote in an e-mail to Autoblog. "It's available currently as a 2016 model, and there's no change to that status." The model debuted in late 2013 and used a version of the powertrain in the Chevrolet Volt. The main problem, of course, was that the car had a $76,000 price tag that proved too much for most automobile buyers to stomach. Last year, GM sold 1,024 ELRs, down 22 percent from 2014's totals. By comparison, the Chevy Volt moved more than 15,000 units, and that itself was still down 18 percent from year-earlier figures. The merciful end to the ELR shouldn't be much of a surprise, as Cadillac Chief Marketing Officer Uwe Ellinghaus went on the record in December of essentially calling the model a dud. It's a far cry from the excitement, though, that the concept model of what was then called the Converj was unveiled to the public at the Detroit Auto Show in 2009. For those feeling misty-eyed or nostalgic, though, check here for Autoblog's First Drive impressions of the extended-range plug-in.

Lyft and Ghostbusters want to take you for a ride in Ecto 1
Thu, Jun 30 2016Part of the fun of using a service like Lyft is that you never know exactly what kind of car will pick you up. And if you're in select cities this weekend, it could be the Ghostbusters' Ecto 1. Lyft is picking riders up in a 1982 Cadillac DeVille wagon decked out in the livery of everyone's favorite ghost catchers as part of a promotional tie-in with the new Ghostbusters movie. Just select Ghost Mode when ordering a car, and a decked-out Ecto 1 should appear. Customers can't ride with Slimer, but Lyft is packing each car with Hi-C Ecto Cooler – the relaunched juice drink that most older millennials lived on during their childhood – and Twinkies. If you're questioning the Twinkies, we strongly recommend you go back and watch the 1984 original. Egon will educate you. Riders in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, and Washington can order a free ride in Ecto 1 on Friday, July 1 or Saturday, July 2, between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Ghostbusters, starring Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon, hits theaters on July 15.

Cadillac president de Nysschen says electrification coming 'across the spectrum'
Thu, Jan 22 2015We like to pick on new Cadillac president Johan de Nysschen for his insistence, many years ago, when he was president of Audi of America, that plug-in vehicles are for idiots. Listening to him give the keynote address at the Washington Auto Show today, you wouldn't know he ever said anything negative about an electric vehicle. Instead, he sounds something like a EV-angelist. De Nysschen said that Cadillac will be able to benefit from GM's considerable expertise in plug-in technology, which he said would be "applied across the spectrum of our portfolio." GM's electric committment will help in "making electrification commonplace." With the plug-in ELR already on the road, de Nysschen said that the company's next step in advancing powertrains will be the introduction of stop/start technology – which de Nysschen called an "important system to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions" – into a Cadillac for the first time later this year. Without giving any specific details, de Nysschen said that Cadillac will introduce eight new models (not necessarily plug-ins) by the end of this decade, including five that "will take Cadillac into market segments where the brand is not even present today." These new vehicles will likely be much lighter than today's vehicles, de Nysschen said, because "weight reduction today is critical to automotive design, it helps to improve fuel efficiency and contributes to desireable vehicle dynamics." The key is to reduce weight without compromising safety or comfort and to use the right material – steel, aluminum, carbon fiber – in the right place at the right time. It was a not-so-subtle jab at Ford and its new aluminum F-150. "In the pursuit of weight reduction, some manufacturers have also opted for abandoning steel and have gone for an all-aluminum approach," he said. "At Cadillac, we believe that different materials each present particular advantages in specific applications. There is no single material that represents the optimum balance of the conflicting objectives of every single application." Related video:
