The 1972 Cadillac Eldorado is considered by some enthusiasts as the most desirable of the 1970's line of Eldorado convertibles due to it's low production of only 6,800 models in 1972 (compared to 14,000 in the last year of 1976) and obviously due to being ridiculously fast for a car of it's size and weight with the high 365 horsepower 500 c.i. 8.2L V8 engine (only produced in the 1971-72 models and drastically reduced to only 235HP in 1973; 210HP in 1974 and 190HP in 1975-76!).
Original 91K miles! Always garaged kept since new considering it's completely rust free body with no sun or element damage whatsoever! The car has it's original factory color paint 'Patrician Covert Firemist' color paint (Code 94) with its lovely matching and original 'Dark Jade' color Sierra Grain Leather interior and with a brand new matching original beige color soft top with a plexiglass rear window. The car looks extremely striking with virtually no noticeable imperfections. The car has a brand new professionally fitted beige power soft top and headliner. The 'Dark Jade' color leather interior seats do have some age cracks in them as this was my Grandfathers vehicle, and he did not want to do a thing to it. The car has its original matching color carpeting and dashboard which are also in gorgeous all original shape with no wear or discoloration in the carpet and no cracks or blemishes in the dash! The vehicle comes with two Parade covers that will cover the convertible top when down, one is light beige same as the top, and the other is Sierra which is the same color as the interior.
All the car's options are working including all the power windows, the power soft top, lighters, cruise control. The original engine with 92K original miles is extremely strong and powerful and this particular car drives absolutely magnificently - must be driven to be appreciated and seen to be believed - drives straight as an arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles!
The car has a recent new fuel pump, air cleaner, spark plugs, electronic ignition, front rotors, and pads, and calipers vacuum advance unit, passenger door lock actuator, right and left brake hoses, P/S high pressure hose, new Holly 750 carburetor, front wheel bearings and left & right outer CV boot, new upper and lower ball joints, new P235/75R15 tires, battery, shocks, (Stock Radio is in the dash, works, just needs a fuse, as my cousin installed a new radio in the glove box, 500 watt amp, with JDM speakers mounted in the trunk with speakers.
This is a rare opportunity to own an unabused example of an obviously always garaged kept desirable 1972 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible in this highly striking color combination with only some 92K original miles and no signs of any rust or accidents. This must therefore be considered a very rare example of this most desirable 1972 year of production of this decades last mass produced drop-top and a great investment that's sure to appreciate over the years for any American classic car collector of obviously any Cadillac enthusiast!
Note I took close up photos of the rocker panels as to show that there is absolutely no rust on this vehicle. This is the ultimate head turner. The car still has all of the original factory tags still under the hood, door jams, and on the frame.
You are not going to find a cleaner, better runner, three owner 1972 drop top then this one right here.

Cadillac SRX production moving to TN, next-gen Equinox going to Mexico
Fri, 29 Aug 2014It's a good week for the town of Spring Hill, TN, as General Motors has announced that its factory in the city of 31,000 will receive a $185 million contract to produce engines. On top of that, the next-generation Cadillac SRX crossover will be built at the factory (NA models are presently built in Ramos, Arizpe Mexico), which was once famous for being the home of GM's now-defunct Saturn brand.
The factory is one of GM's six facilities around the globe that will screw together the company's new line of three- and four-cylinder Ecotec engines. Spring Hill currently builds the 2.0-liter, turbocharged Ecotec, as well as the naturally aspirated 2.4 and 2.5-liter variants.
Spring Hill's vehicle assembly lines were idled in 2009, but were reactivated in 2011. The SRX is just one of the products meant to benefit from last year's $350-million investment, and should have a positive impact, creating or retaining around 1,800 positions at the factory.
2015 Cadillac Escalade
Mon, 07 Apr 2014Cadillac has been an interesting story in the auto industry over the past several years. Its comeback bid may be well over a decade old, but it's only recently that the Wreath and Crest has transformed from the auto industry's retirement home into its hot new thing. Today's Cadillac is a powerful marque working to instill passionate design, sound driving dynamics and cutting-edge technology into each model it builds, with vehicles like the ATS and redesigned CTS leading the charge.
Now, its latest model has arrived. This fourth-generation Escalade is among the most important new Cadillacs since the division's renaissance kicked into high gear. It's the brand's de facto flagship, and the first vehicle many young people think of when hearing the name "Cadillac." In the past, the Escalade was the chosen vehicle of the rich, flashy and famous. It's suffered over the past few years, though, particularly as new and more luxurious competitors have come to the fore.
With this latest redesign, General Motors is aiming to retake the spotlight as purveyors of the market's premier luxury SUV. To find out if it's been successful, I ventured down to the South Carolina Lowcountry to test the all-new 2015 Escalade.
2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe
Thu, 30 Oct 2014Cadillac has become a very, very different company since the dawn of the new millenium. Its turn-of-the-century lineup, consisting of staid offerings like the Seville, DeVille and Eldorado, represented the Old Cadillac. These cars were plagued with Old GM quality issues and catered to a more elderly audience. Since the company's Art and Science design language arrived, though, we've seen Cadillac flesh out its lineup in a big way, introducing notable and (so far) enduring products, like the the CTS, SRX and most recently, the ATS.
With the CTS tackling the 5 Series segment and the SRX duking it out with the Lexus RX and its classmates, the ATS has been left with the tough task of battling the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, among others. Critically, at least, it has excelled in this role, but it's still working on finding its feet sales-wise. On paper, broadening the model range by adding a two-door personal luxury coupe could help.
After a week with the ATS Coupe, though, we've found a car that, while retaining the standard model's excellent driving character, doesn't quite offer enough visual excitement to stand up to other cars in its segment.
