Here is very nice 1975 Cadillac Coupe Deville. This car is in great shape, with low miles. I want to start off by saying that if anyone has any questions, or would like to come see the car, please contact me via ebay, or by telephone. I would like anyone who is interested in this car to feel confident if they decide to purchase it. This is an excellent example of a classic Caddy. This car also has many new parts, and some interesting extras included with it, which we will get into in a bit. Ok, with all that being said, lets get into the specifics about this great car.
- First, if you need more pictures, please go to Flickr.com, and go to caprala23's photo page. I got about 100 more pictures of the car on there, Ebay won't allow the link...
- 3 owner car, 66,000 original miles.
- No accidents, no smoking.
- Car is rot free, underside is immaculate. Interior is in excellent condition.
- BODY: The body is in great shape front to back. The car has seen a re-paint once, about 8 years ago. The paint job is decent, not show quality, but very presentable. There are a couple tiny chips here and there, but its only in the top coat. There is a very small, nickel-sized rust spot from paint peeling above a piece of the rocker trim. That's the only rust on the whole car. All the chrome is shiney, and in great shape, Bumpers, trim, all very nice. This Caddy has the Cabriolet package, which includes a vinyl half-top with special trim, and a see-through chrome hood ornament. Vinyl roof was re-done same time as paint. Floors, roof, trunk floor, frame, doors, and hood are solid as a rock.
- INTERIOR: The interior is above-average, and fantastic. It's tan, and features the very 70's Maharajah fabric pattern. You don't see this kind of pattern on anything anymore, especially cars. Everything is all original, and in great shape. The headliner, steering wheel, rear dash, and seats are perfect. The carpet is a little sun faded in some areas, due to age, and there is a tiny crack in the side of the dashboard. Everything else is near perfect.
- UNDERHOOD: Under the hood is the original 8.2L 500 c.i.d. engine. Runs great, and starts 1st time every time. Everything is still intact. The engine bay has been cleaned, and detailed. Air Conditioning is still intact, but not working. Convert it to R134A, and you'll be good to go.
- OPTIONS: This Cadillac is equipped with many power options, as a Caddy should be. Options include; Power windows, locks, seats and antenna. Also has cruise control, air conditioning, automatic headlights, tilt and telescoping steering column, 3-speed windsheild wipers, and power trunk pull-down.
- EXTRAS: Car comes with some great extras. Included is a COMPLETE REAR BODY FILLER KIT. This includes taillight surroundings, and rubber fillers for both sides. I would like to note that- these are not re-production pieces, they are original GM parts, and anyone who knows about Caddys, knows that these are like $400 for a re-production kit, and that originals are impossible to find. Ones on the car are perfect now, these are to have for spare, or use on your other Deville you got sitting around! ALSO INCLUDED, is all the original Maintenance Schedule, Consumer Information, Owners Manual, and heres the best part, included is a 24-page full-color Cadillac Options and Availability brochure for 1975. This is a very rare piece of literature to have. Would look great in the rear dash at a car show. This booklet includes; Color choices, Interior patterns, Model Availability, Specs, and just about anything you would have needed to know before you purchased your brand new 1975 Cadillac!
- NEW PARTS/WORK: Recent work includes; Complete engine tune-up; plugs, wires, dist.cap, and rotor, and Lucas oil change. Carb clean and adjust, along with a new fuel filter, New valve cover gaskets, Transmission filter, fluid, pan gasket, and tailshaft seal. New heater blower motor, New LH side exhaust manifold, and new manifold gaskets on both sides. All vacuum hoses have been replaced, new master cylinder, new belts, and all underhood wires have been cleaned, and tested. New front brake calipers, and new fuel hoses that go from sending unit to fuel lines. All ground connections have also been checked and cleaned.
- NEEDS: OK, 1st, let me just say, this car doesn't ''need'' anything to make it a great, running and driving dependable classic car. These are just some things that would make it better. Springs and shocks all around. The car doesn't bounce around or anything, but the springs are original, so its probably time to replace them, and why not do the shocks while your at it? As i mentioned before, the A/C needs some attention, basically just a retro-fit.
- NOT WORKING: The things not working are very minimal. There are a few light bulbs out in the speedo cluster in the dash. The power antenna works when it wants to, and the power trunk pull-down works, but not properly. Maybe someone with more knowledge of these can make it work right? The radio works, but there are a few speakers out.
- MY AUCTIONS RULES/GUIDELINES/PAYMENT: PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT PLAN ON PURCHASING AND FOLLOWING THROUGH. BID TO OWN. Contact me with any questions you have before bidding. A $500 non-refundable deposit will be made by winning bidder within 48 hours of auctions end via PAYPAL. The remaining balance will be paid within 10 DAYS, and in CASH. NO CHECKS, NO MONEY ORDERS, OR ANY OTHER FORMS OF PAYMENT. If you insist on paying full amount with paypal, then YOU will be responsible for paying the paypal fees that will occur, NOT ME. If you need to have the car shipped, I will assist in any way I can to make it a easy, smooth transaction. Also, if you have less than a "10" feedback score, you need to contact me prior to bidding.

Cadillac moving to NY as separate business unit
Tue, 23 Sep 2014Cadillac is under new leadership, and the automaker is committed to turning itself (back) into a global luxury powerhouse. It's got a strong product offensive (of products currently in showrooms, and much more on the way), and now it will have a new location to call home.
Following earlier speculation, GM has confirmed that it is moving Cadillac's base of operations from Detroit to New York. Lest you think it might rent offices in the Chrysler Building (which is, after all, one of the tallest in the city), the new Cadillac global headquarters will be located in the Soho area with a "multipurpose brand and event space in conjunction with modern loft offices." The company is still evaluating which staff will move along with it to Manhattan, and which will remain in Michigan where technical operations will still be based.
The move from Detroit to New York is the first major change being instituted by new Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen, who previously undertook a similar shift in moving Infiniti away from Nissan headquarters to its own facility in Hong Kong. Ford had attempted a similar move in relocating its luxury portfolio under the Premier Automotive Group (which then included Lincoln, Mercury, Land Rover, Jaguar, Aston Martin and Volvo) from Dearborn to Irvine, CA, but ended up moving Lincoln (the last one still under the Ford umbrella) back to Michigan. Other luxury automakers like Audi (Volkswagen) and Maserati (Fiat) are headquartered away from their parent companies as well, but have a longer history of independent operation.
Cadillac could 'flourish' in Australia, says marketing chief
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Cadillac might have its best product mix in recent history, and GM's luxury brand is looking to expand. In fact, it might even be making a trip Down Under, at least according to the company's global marketing chief.
Uwe Ellinghaus spoke with Australian site Car Advice at the Geneva Motor Show and said the brand could be quite successful there. "[The] goodwill that the Cadillac brand has is such a good starting base that once we get proper volume commitment and a dealer network behind it we can easily flourish," he said, though he warned that the plans are still in their earliest stages and years away. First, Cadillac will expand in markets with the highest possible sales, like China and Russia.
Ellinghaus said that the most likely models for Oz would be the SRX, Escalade and CTS; the latter would probably act as a replacement for the Holden Commodore. GM's Australian arm is ending local production in 2017, and there have been many rumors about what is happening to the big sedan. However, Ellinghaus admits exporting cars from the US to Australia is going to mean higher prices. In addition to the expense, Cadillac doesn't currently build any right-hand-drive models. It would likely take until the end of the decade before the Aussie models could be ready.
Cadillac reveals stretched ATS-L in China
Tue, 29 Jul 2014In the market for a new Cadillac, but need more space than an ATS can afford? Then you'll want to look at the larger CTS. Unless you live in China, where buyers - often chauffeured instead of driving themselves - seem to prefer a long-wheelbase version of a smaller sedan than upgrading to a larger one. For those buyers, Cadillac has released the new ATS-L.
Based on the existing ATS sports sedan, the ATS-L offers an extra 3.3 inches of rear legroom over the model we get here. As a result, the ATS-L stretches its wheelbase to 112.5 inches and its overall length to 186 inches, while riding a quarter-inch lower than the standard-wheelbase model, which itself was recently updated. That places its length in between the regular ATS and the CTS available Stateside.
Otherwise it's essentially the same sedan, but appears to ditch the base 2.0-liter four to offer either the 2.0-liter turbo four or 3.6-liter V6. Of course this model, produced locally for the Chinese market, isn't likely to make the transpacific voyage to US showrooms, so American buyers will still have to choose between the standard ATS, the larger CTS or the even larger XTS.
