1981 Cadillac Seville Grandeur Opera Coupe on 2040-cars

Year:1981 Mileage:22285 Color: paint

Escondido, California, United States

Escondido, California, United States

This is an all original 1981 Seville Opera Coupe by Grandeur Motorcar Corp of Ft. Lauderdale, FL.  Grandeur Motorcar Corp would convert the standard four-door Seville to a two-door coupe doubling it's sticker price.  These cars sold for $43,000 - $45,000 new 30 years ago and there were very low numbers produced making this a very unique, hard to find and collectible vehicle. This car has about 22,300 original miles and is in completely original condition, from the interior to the exterior paint, all of which are in very good condition considering the age.  Cosmetically, the most glaring issue is the real bumper filler which is cracked in multiple areas.  There is some patina and cracking in the paint which is observed at close range and there is at least one exterior trim piece missing which is pictured.

This was an estate find and ran well prior to being parked two years ago.  The car starts easily and runs well however seems to lag a bit under heavy acceleration.  The car has not been driven any significant distance and no work has been done on the car since I acquired it.  Accordingly, the car is being sold as-is with no warranties.

Watch Brad Pitt's Chinese Cadillac XTS commercial

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Once upon a time, in a land not so far from this one, Brad Pitt was the very face anti-consumerism. You see, when he slipped into the role of the elitist-loathing, food-abusing, violence-embracing Tyler Durden from Fight Club, his visage was inextricably married to images of leveling credit card corporations with nothing more than a little human fat and some determination. Of course, that was before Pitt settled into old age with a passel of children at his feet. Now, it seems, he'll shill for something as long as it doesn't damage his reputation in America.
Need proof? Look no further than this Chinese ad for the Cadillac XTS. In it, Pitt contentedly wafts the big front-wheel drive barge around San Francisco against a mildly euphoric soundtrack. You can check out the scene for yourself below, just make sure you have your last meal squarely situated in your stomach before pressing play. We have to wonder if Pitt wakes up in the middle of the night with Chuck Palahniuk's oddly omniscient words echoing in his ears: "Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you."

Johan responds to critics again about Cadillac's NY move

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Cadillac's new President Johan de Nysschen has faced a fair amount of criticism since assuming his position at the head of the American luxury manufacturer. From the company's move to New York City to a controversial new naming scheme, the first few months of his tenure have not been smooth sailing. Now, the embattled exec is firing back against his critics, notably Automotive News Editor-in-Chief Keith Crain, in a new column running in AN.
De Nysschen countered Crain's claim that the move to the Big Apple, "can only mean that someone wants to live in New York."
"The relocation decision is entirely unrelated to the personal living preferences of any Cadillac executive. No corporation would tolerate such indulgence by its leadership," de Nysschen wrote. "It is about structurally entrenching a challenge to the status quo by reinforcing the psychological and physical separation in business philosophy between the mainstream brands and GM's luxury brand."
