Offered for sale is my 59 Cadillac Eldorado that has undergone the most meticulous restoration with over 3500 hours of painstaking attention to detail. It is a numbers matching car with all of the power options that Eldorado's were known for including power windows, power door locks, power trunk release and pull down, power vent windows, 6 way seat, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, cruise control, power antenna, autronic eye, fog lights, Cadillac Q engine with tri power carbs, fully rebuilt air ride suspension. Every single part has been carefully cleaned and re-plated, re-upholstered, chromed, rebuilt, painted or polished to perfection. Nothing has been overlooked down to the smallest part that you cannot even see and I have tried to restore the car back to be totally original with a number of minor enhancements that cannot be detected unless I pointed them out. The car is currently registered, drives great and is a real head turner. I have receipts for over $230K so this gives you some idea of the extent of this incredible restoration. I have accumulated quite a collection of manuals, parts books, brochures, cd's etc, and a 5 layer car cover which will go with the car. If you are looking for the best, then you will not be disappointed. I have been asked several times about the materials used in the restoration and the differences that are unique to Eldo's. The interior leather is the correct Cardiff and Florentine grain metallic blue with the correct seat buttons. Gorgeous. The padded vinyl roof is the correct colour and grain Vicodec material as fitted from the factory. The headliner is the correct pattern vinyl in light blue with matching sun visors. The trunk area has the correct colour lining material for the padded floor mat as well as the sides and spare wheel cover. It even have the proper thatched material for the rear parcel shelf. That is a nice finishing touch. There are a few other Eldorado items to mention that are unique to Eldo's like the "lightning bolt" door lock knobs only for power door locks, rear trunk lip bar with the "Eldorado" script, 3 row rear grille, reversing light chrome "V"s, as well as the unique polished stainless side trim, and the Eldo only door trims that really look classy with the brushed stainless trim panels. These door trims have 3 courtesy lights in them, the rear one on the arm rest is red while the other 2 are the round white type and with the rear quarter panel lights, roof lights and dash light give 11 lights when the door is opened. It also has a 45 amp generator to keep the batter charged! Even the front seat is unique to Eldo's with chrome trim on the back and sides of the seat, along with map pockets and rear passenger knee pads. Other Eldo unique parts are the power brake pedal stainless trim and script, along with the stainless trim on the park brake pedal and the accelerator pedal. This is build number 216 out of a low total of 975 and first delivered to Fort Smith, Arkansas. I have the full build sheet details from Cadillac archives which lists every option that the car was built with and is very interesting. I can be contacted on +61 411 108 433 or email tpseddon@bigpond.net.au for any further information. Can assist with shipping if required. Well worth a look if you are serious and want the best. Vehicle is advertised elsewhere and may be withdrawn if sold prior to auction end. |

Off-road Cadillac Escalade adds some extra bush country capability
Wed, 26 Jun 2013So, you're a dyed-in-the-wool General Motors fan, but like the notion of a machine like the Hennessey Velociraptor. We have good news for you. Behold the Aria Coachworks XPLORE Cadillac Escalade. For a modest fee, Aria will outfit your Escalade with a custom suspension, BF Goodrich all-terrain tires wrapped around aluminum wheels, a Warn winch and a special exhaust. There's even a snorkel option for those of you with aspirations toward deep water crossings. Consider yourself warned, however: unlike other GMT900 SUVs, the Cadillac only has an all-wheel drive system, not the more rugged four-wheel drive setup of the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon). Outside, the luxury SUV gets matte paint, black chrome trim, XPLORE power running boards and a roof rack system.
The interior also receives a few fun changes as well, but we're more interested in the fact that buyers can snag a power roof top tent. You know, in case you need to camp out at Best Buy for the PS4. There's also a matching camp trailer and, our personal favorite, a matching BMW GS motorcycle. Bikes not your bag of tricks? That's fine. Aria will also sell you a matched Airstream trailer or Old Town wooden canoes. As much as we want to hate this, we love the notion of bashing through the woods in a $100,000 Cadillac battlewagon with our GS in tow. Check the press release below for more information.
2017 Cadillac CT6 Plug-in Hybrid is the most efficient and torquey CT6 of all
Tue, Nov 15 2016Cadillac is returning to the hybrid game after discontinuing the ill-fated ELR, this time with an existing car and a new drivetrain. The company has taken its CT6 flagship and given it a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, a pair of motors, and a big battery pack. The result of this combination is a CT6 that manages a rating of 65 MPGe, can go 30 miles on a full electric charge or 400 miles combined with the engine. The powertrain produces 335 horsepower and 432 lb-ft of torque. That's the same amount of power as the 3.6-liter V6 CT6, and more torque than that engine or the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6. Cadillac claims the CT6 plug-in is capable of hitting 60 miles per hour in 5.2 seconds and reaching a top speed of 150 mph. The green and grunty CT6 plug-in will be available this coming spring, and it will have a premium price of $76,090. Cadillac says that its equipment list is comparable to the CT6 Premium Luxury trim level, which starts at $64,590 with the 3.6-liter V6, and $68,590 with the twin-turbo V6. However, in addition to the hybrid powertrain, Cadillac throws in a number of features that are options on the conventional gasoline models. To get the hybrid's rear seat infotainment system and enhanced night vision, a buyer would have to add $5,800 in option packages. That still leaves the twin-turbo model $1,700 shy of the hybrid, but that's not a terrible trade for the option of fuel-free driving for at least some of the time.

North American Car, Truck and SUV of the Year finalists revealed
Thu, Nov 17 2022The finalists for the 2023 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards were announced Thursday at the L.A. Auto Show. — The Acura Integra, Genesis Electrified G80 and Nissan Z made the cut in the car category. — The Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Lordstown Endurance advanced in trucks. — And the Cadillac Lyriq, Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6 advanced among utilities. The winners will be announced Jan. 11 in Detroit. The finalists underscored the industryÂ’s shift to electric vehicles, as all three utilities and two of the three trucks are EVs. The finalists were culled from a list of 26 semifinalists made up of three trucks, 10 cars and 16 utility vehicles that are new this year. Notables that missed the cut include the Mercedes EQE, Subaru WRX and Toyota GR Corolla in cars; while the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Rivian R1S were among the utes that did not advance. The three trucks are the only ones eligible this year and have advanced through the voting. 50 jurors who work for media outlets across North America vote three times over the course of the year to whittle down the field, which was originally 47 vehicles. Jurors also test the semifinalists at an October group event in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Honda Civic (car), Ford Maverick (truck) and Ford Bronco (utility vehicle) were the 2022 winners.
