1972 Cadillac Eldorado Base Hardtop 2-door 8.2l on 2040-cars
La Mesa, California, United States

This vehicle is a head turner, I named it Apollo 17 since it looks like the Saturn V rocket used on Apollo 17, and 72 was the last Apollo flight, rare to see a hardtop black on white, these are the original colors. I bought this car from an older couple who put 78,000 miles on it (it now has 80k original). After many enjoyable weekends of TLC, I replaced the the vinyl top, fresh upholstery to the seats, installed noise and heat dampening inside the whole floor board (that 500 rumbles pretty loud), then installed fresh carpet, new 3 core aluminum radiator, new shocks and CV boots, changed the points to an electric module, new AC compressor (blows cold). Runs excellent, transmission is smooth, floats on the freeway. It sits on 18" with about 80% on the Goodyears, the original tires and hubcaps come with the car if you like it original. Changed out the speakers to Bose on the front dash and rear. I absolutely love this car, it is a classic piece of Americana I wish I could keep it, but we just had twin boys. I only have one of the side wheel skirts, I like it better with them off. Car still has the automatic leveling compressor, but it wasn't working so I went with KYB shocks front and rear. Paint is about a 7-8 out of 10, it looks amazing, shines and has the original pin striping. This car is about 95% complete. The passenger door needs to have the door pull fixed, the driver door lock doesn't engage with the key, but the power lock does. It has a few minor details (crack in the winshield $250.00), but the heavy labor has been done. I've put over $3200 into this car, with my touches, but its ready for yours. It really is an eye catcher, you'll get so many compliments from all kinds of folks, prepare to do a lot of stop and chats. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Cadillac chief says ATS convertible, wagon on the table
Wed, 15 Jan 2014What we do know is that the ATS will wear at least one more bodystyle. That comes from Cadillac head Bob Ferguson, who answered "Absolutely" when Automotive News asked him about the possibility of another variant. What we don't know is what that bodystyle or styles will be.
We now have a sedan and coupe ATS, there's supposedly a V sedan coming. After that, a convertible is a likely option given that the man who just became the global product honcho at General Motors, Mark Reuss, admitted to having one already designed in 2012. The decision on it can't get out of the underworld and a wagon is the other option, but the droptop would seem to make the most sense if one considers the competitive set: the BMW 4 Series and Audi A5 convertibles are hot property and Mercedes is bringing a C-Class convertible. Meanwhile wagons are the sentimental utility vehicles that, refusing to die, seem forever destined for life support... CTS Sport Wagon, anyone?
Based on Ferguson's statements, it appears that what Cadillac definitely won't do is play model variant catch-up with the European luxury brands it has spent years hunting down, telling Automotive News, "We want to keep our focus on a limited number of vehicles and do them very well."
Saturn Vue ignition switch leads to new group of GM recalls totaling 312k
Fri, 08 Aug 2014General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada. It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.
GM laying off 510 amidst slow Cadillac, small car sales
Wed, 12 Nov 2014General Motors is laying off about 510 workers from two factories beginning in January, and it could be months before the automaker needs some of that latent capacity to come back on line. A combination of poor sales and high dealer inventories are prompting the cutbacks, according to Automotive News.
The largest changes come at GM's Lansing Grand River plant, where the Cadillac ATS and CTS are made. An entire shift of about 350 workers is being laid off, but the automaker hopes to find positions for some of them at other nearby factories. The decision leaves just a single shift building vehicles there. According to Automotive News, the move is partially spurred by Johan de Nysschen's plan to make Cadillac a more exclusive brand.
The lost shift will likely return for production of the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro at the plant, according to the report, but GM isn't saying when that will be. A previous announcement from the Canadian Auto Workers union indicated that the Oshawa, Ontario, factory would lose the coupe in late 2015 or early 2016.
