Vehicle Condition: THE “ORIGINAL” INTERIOR OF THIS 1957
ELDORADO IS IN AMAZING “SURVIVOR” CONDITION! THIS BEAUTIFULLY STYLED
VINTAGE AMERICAN LUXURY CAR RUNS AND DRIVES WONDERFULLY!
This Eldorado is 57 years old, so some signs of age are to be
expected! Let me first say that much of this car appears to be in amazing
unrestored original condition. However, I’m sure that a few items were
replaced or rebuilt through the years. I know the tires were replaced,
and I assume the engine and transmission were rebuilt as it runs like it was
new!
This Eldorado has an amazing original “survivor” interior in excellent
condition. As would be expected, the clock is not currently working, very
common for a vehicle this age. The original factory radio does come on,
but does not play. I do believe the antenna
is not plugged in, so that could be the problem. The padded dash looks great and is soft and supple. The glove box lock is not working and the
door is being held closed with a spring.
The driver side ash tray is being held closed with silicone.
The exterior is beautiful but not perfect! The chrome bumpers have
been rechromed. The front bumpers look
great, but do show some issues on the driver’s side lower piece. The rear
bumpers and tail light housings do have pitting, some corrosion and pealing. There are three very minor windshield wiper
scuffs that I believe will polish out. The paint has a good shine but would benefit
from a good polishing. The paint does
show some age as there is some cracking on the hood. There are indications
that the car may have had some minor body repair and the car was resprayed
sometime in the past. There is a scuff on the right rear stainless that
can be repaired. The sabre wheels show
some pitting and minor chips.
The trunk interior is in beautiful condition and holds what appears to be
the original spare tire. Most everything
under the hood appears to be stock original components that have been refreshed
as some time. The license plates shown
on the car are not included in the sale.
The odometer reading above is as it reads and is
most likely not the total miles.

Even if GM does close all 5 of those plants, it'll still have too many
Wed, Nov 28 2018DETROIT — General Motors' monumental announcement on Monday that it will close three car assembly plants and two powertrain plants in North America and slash its workforce will only partially close the gap between capacity and demand for the automaker's sedans, according to a Reuters analysis of industry production and capacity data. Sales of traditional passenger cars in North America have been declining for the past six years and are still withering. After GM ends production next year at factories in Michigan, Ohio and Ontario, it will still have four U.S. passenger-car plants — all operating at less than 50 percent of rated capacity, according to figures supplied by LMC Automotive. In comparison, Detroit-based rivals Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will have one car plant each in North America after 2019. The Detroit Three are facing rapidly dwindling demand for traditional passenger cars from U.S. consumers, many of whom have shifted to crossovers and trucks. Passenger cars accounted for 48 percent of retail light-vehicle sales in the United States in 2014, according to market researchers at J.D. Power and Associates. This year, sedans will account for less than a third of light vehicle sales. That shift in turn has left most North American car plants operating far below their rated capacities, while many SUV and truck plants are running on overtime. The collapse in passenger-car demand is a challenge for nearly all automakers in the United States, including Japan's Toyota and Honda, which have the top-selling models in the compact and midsize car segments. Toyota executives said last month they are evaluating the company's U.S. model lineup. But Toyota also plans to build compact Corolla sedans at a new $1.6 billion factory it is building in Alabama with partner Mazda. The obstacles facing GM in its plans to close more auto factories became apparent on Tuesday as U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to block payment of government electric vehicle subsidies to GM. While it is not certain that Trump unilaterally has the power to do that, he made it clear he intends to use his office to pressure the company to keep open a small car plant in Ohio that GM says will stop building vehicles in March.
Cadillac ELR getting massive discounts, some up to $14,000
Mon, Jul 14 2014Well, that didn't go as planned. General Motors had marketed the Cadillac ELR extended-range plug-in as a premium version of the Chevrolet Volt with some Caddy refinements. Now, it looks like that premium, at least from a price standpoint, is shrinking. Shoppers in a number of states are reporting that GM and its dealers are discounting the ELR in order to move more off dealer lots. The issue is that few people are biting at the official price tag of about $76,000, so GM has started offering as much as $8,000 worth of dealer and customer incentives, Transport Evolved reports. More recently, dealers in states such as Florida, Texas and Maryland are offering discounts in the $12,000-to-$14,000 range, and that's before any federal and state plug-in incentives kick in. It's not difficult to guess why. Through the first half of the year, GM sold fewer than 400 ELRs. Last month, Caddy moved just 97 units, or about as many as Tesla sells of its Model S in a day. Perpahs recent spy shots that reveal a test ELR that appears to up the sportiness quotient, with touches such as larger wheels and brakes, will also help sales. Check out Autoblog's "First Drive" impressions of the ELR here.
Online Find Of The Day: 2008 Cadillac XLR picks up where Excalibur left off
Thu, 23 May 2013We try very, very hard to keep snark away from creations like the one you see here. After all, someone poured plenty of enthusiasm, time and money into turning a 2008 Cadillac XLR into a modern interpretation of the new-old cars typically done by cottage builders like Excalibur and Clénet. Even so, it's hard not to wince when you set an eye on this machine. With its wheelbase stretched to accommodate the extra bodywork, goofy sidewalls and upkicked nose (examine it in profile, it looks slightly bent in the middle), this "neoclassic" takes whatever was loveable about the Cadillac underneath and buries it in a tacky grave.
Miraculously, the engine bay has been left unmolested, which means the retractable hardtop convertible still features a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine good for 320 horsepower. If only that were enough to outrun its shame. If, for some reason, you feel like taking this thing home, Harry Kaufmann Motorcars of Milwaukee says it can be yours for a paltry $74,998. We wish were joking. Check it out here.
