No other American car defined luxury than the Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. These were large vehicles that made a statement. They were an automotive status symbol of importance as well as offering smooth ride with luxurious appointments offered by no other.

This one family owned 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Coupe is an outstanding original vehicle that still commands the presence that it did when new 35 years ago. This car was purchased new in 1978 at Grossinger in Chicago. 

Shortly after the purchase, my uncle passed away and the car went with my aunt to Texas. The car remained in a Texas garage for more than twenty years. I acquired the car from my aunt about 12 years ago and drove it back here to Chicago. The car was used for an occasional "date night" with my husband, and only in the spring,summer or fall. Never had it on the road in the winter.

ok, story time out of the way. The details:

1) Minor body repair needed
2) needs brakes
3) needs tires
4) needs a new battery (I will install a new battery so people can fire it up and test drive)
5) Electric antenna not working
6) everything else works fine

    First Cadillac ELR rolls off the line

    Thu, 30 May 2013

    Gearing up for the Belle Isle Grand Prix this weekend, General Motors invited some of the Chevrolet and Cadillac racecar drivers out to its Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant. While there, the racers - including IndyCar Driver and Chevrolet Volt owner, Simona De Silvestro - witnessed the very first 2014 Cadillac ELR to roll off the assembly line.
    These vehicles are not destined for customers, however, but instead pre-production units will be used by engineers for testing purposes. Actual production of ELR consumer models is expected to commence closer to the end of this year. As a refresher, this range-extended electric Cadillac shares much of its powertrain with the Volt but will have a sportier coupe design inspired by the Converj Concept. De Silvestro manged to snap a few images of here own, which you can see in the gallery below.

    2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport [w/video]

    Bridging The Gap With Power And Poise
    As you read these words, West Coast Editor Michael Harley is preparing to drive the brand-new 2014 Cadillac CTS along the gorgeous, sun-drenched roads of Southern California. And while I'll wait for Harley's full report before I put words in his mouth, I'm willing to bet he enjoys the hell out of Cadillac's new CTS. In fact, I'm sure of it.
    I say this with confidence because, about a month ago, I spent the better part of a day flogging the new CTS Vsport around the 2.9-mile Milford Road Course - a challenging circuit laid out in the infield of an oval test track at GM's proving grounds in southeast Michigan. The MRC was built about a decade ago after Bob Lutz was lured out of retirement to work closely with GM's product development team, and thus, this circuit is known informally as the "Lutz Ring." The main objective of the MRC was to have an in-house facility for engineers to fine-tune vehicle dynamics, without having to constantly schlep cars over to Germany's infamous Nürburgring. (Of course, they still do.)

    GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software

    Thu, 21 Mar 2013

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
    NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
    While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
