Have you noticed that most of the cars listed here on ebay are from the Rust Bucket States like New Jersey, New York, Illinois and yes, even Pennsylvania? Talk to any mechanic, and they will tell you that the bolts break off the end of almost every single connection on the car.  Little bubbles appear in the paint job at most of the wheel wells and the floor boards feel springy when you get in.  My Mechanic will not even do an oil change on an “Eastern Sea Board” car as they seem to bend once you get them on a rack and something always goes wrong with the car even on minor maintenance.  Yes, some car’s are advertised as being kept in a heated garage but unless you do a complete undercarriage car wash after every time you drive it, well, you get the picture.  People flock to Florida for the “little Old Lady” syndrome for low mileage and excellent care of the car.  Don’t kid yourself;  you have no idea of the damage living near the Salt Water of Florida does to a car. 

Out in Arizona, we have every major Airline in the world parking their 747’s in storage as a plane stored In Arizona is like having a time capsule.  Even the United States Government parked their World War II planes at Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson.  Even the DEA parks their confiscated planes there as they may sit there for years before trial.  We also have Sun City, the original housing development created by Del Webb for retirement folks over age 65.  Arizona is probably the only place in the Nation that you can truly find a “clean” used car.  We have an auction out here called Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auction where you can find million dollar cars.  Only a true connoisseur of  fine automobiles are even going to know the name of Barret-Jackson, but real collectors do.

Don’t make a mistake.  You can buy a car here really cheap from one of the Rust Bucket States or you can buy a pristine car, well kept and truly a “keeper”.  My private collection is constantly updated with classic cars that will sooner or later end up at Barret-Jackson.  Look at a 1958 Cadillac listed at a quarter of a million dollars and you will get a clue.  The first car I ever bought new was a 66 Corvette. Kept my used Jaguar XKE because I just had an idea that it would go up in value. I was right.  The next new car I bought was a 1969 Mustang 428 from a garage owned by a former race car driver called Carroll Shelby.  I did pretty well with that one also.  The Cobra from the same garage was my best hit.  Certain cars have that look and feel that will eventually put them in the “hall of fame”.  When people stop and turn their heads to stare, you have a pretty good idea your on to the right model.  Certain cars have what is called curb appeal and those cars are the first ones that sell on a lot as opposed to the plane Jane’s that sit on the rear of the lot and never get any attention.  Did you ever wonder why Cops write twice as many speeding tickets to “red” cars as they do “Black” cars?  It’s not because they speed twice as often, it’s because a red car will even make a cop turn his head to look. 

Unlike most people here on ebay, I am in no big hurry to sell my cars.  I always like to update my collection and ad new and exciting cars to it.  I offer a few of my cars from time to time to increase my collection, not reduce it.  I usually ad money to what ever I sell and go out and seek a rare and collectible.  If it is from my collection, you can be assured it is low mileage, cherry and destined for greatness. It didn’t take a Rocket Scientist to know that a 57 Chevy or a 65 Mustang was going to light up the collectors boards.  It’s the sleepers that are difficult to spot and what was very much in demand the day they were bought (think 63 Corvette split window coupe or Gull Wing Mercedes) will end up being collectors cars when you least expect it. 

OFFERED FOR SALE:

1997 Cadillac Eldorado ETC a truly classic Touring Car.  Fire Engine Red with immaculate leather interior.   Just look at the other cars offered here on ebay and look closely at the cracks In their seat leather and you will soon discover what the advantage of being kept in an Air Conditioned Garage is.  A/C is also a dehumidifier and that removes the moisture from the air taking away water that not only causes Rust, but also removes the dryness from real leather.  Sitting down in the car is like sitting on the show room floor. This car has less than 64000 miles on it and the last ten years it has been driven less than a thousand miles per year.  Yes, you heard that right.  According to AutoCheck, this car was driven less than Ten Thousand miles in the last ten years and stored in an air conditioned garage for its entire life.  My mechanic spent the last three days going through this car trying to find something wrong.  He Couldn’t.  He didn’t want to return it either as his wife fell in love with the car.  Don’t miss out on this one.  A real classic are far and few between and you might not see one this nice for quite a while to come.

If you have ever wondered what the true meaning of the word "antique" or Classic really means, simply compare it to the day it was made.  If it was truly a work of art the day it was built, it will still be a piece of art fifty years later.  Build a piece of junk and no matter how old it is, it will still be junk when it arrives on the antique market.  That can never be said about the classic lines or design artwork on a Cadillac Eldorado.  Quality is built in, not given freely on some advertising brochure.   This fine piece of History was garage kept it's entire life.  It has never left the cover of it's air conditioned sealed and locked garage unless it was in use.  Stored in an environmental controlled condition since the day of manufacture, this car shows it.  One look at it's pristine luxury interior and you know the car was well kept, well loved and preserved for the ages.  Not every car can become a classic, but this one was destined for History the day it was built.  Don't miss your opportunity of owning a truly great piece of History, the Cadillac Eldorado.

Cadillac snags de Nysschen from Infiniti, names him new president

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

Johan de Nysschen, the (now former) president of Infiniti, has officially jumped ship. The 54-year-old, who also spent time as the chief executive for Audi USA, has taken the position of president at Cadillac, following a two-year stint at the Nissan-owned luxury brand. In his new role, the 54-year-old will be responsible "for all aspects of Cadillac globally," according to a statement from General Motors.
"Johan brings to our company vast experience in the development and proper execution of luxury automotive brands," said GM President Dan Ammann, de Nysschen's new boss. "With over 20 years in this exact space, especially in the development of the Audi brand, his track record proves he is the perfect executive to lead Cadillac for the long term."
"I have for some time now been impressed by how the new General Motors has been transformed into a formidable force in the industry," de Nysschen said in a statement. "The combination of strong corporate leadership and exceptional engineering resources presents the perfect combination to restore Cadillac to its place among global premium brands."

Cadillac prepares to top its own 'Ring record with upcoming new CTS-V

Mon, 14 Jul 2014

It was a big deal back in 2008 when the original Cadillac CTS-V clocked a lap time of 7:59 at the Nürburgring, making it the fastest sedan ever to lap the Nordschleife to that date. Not many four-doors have bested that time since - the list consisting pretty much only of the Porsche Panamera Turbo - but now hot hatches are lapping faster than that, so you can bet that the new one will manage an even better time.
Now we've spotted the upcoming new CTS-based performance sedan several times before undergoing testing in locations around the world, but this is the first time we've seen it at the Nürburgring, apparently using the Goodyear Dunlop test facility as its base of operations (and still wearing Michigan manufacturer plates, incidentally). Considering how well the outgoing CTS-V performed and how much further you can bet Cadillac will push the envelop this time around, a new sedan lap record is almost a certainty - and we can only hope for an all-out war between Europe's performance sedan power houses to ensue.

2015 Cadillac Escalade blings its way into LA

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

The new Cadillac Escalade sauntered out onto the Los Angeles Auto Show stage, showing off its new familial face and redesigned interior. That exterior, with its slim, wrap-over headlights and tall, vertical taillights (both made up of LEDs) is a subtle but significant departure from the past styling of General Motors' flagship SUV.
And while there's no shortage of stuff to discuss about the Caddy's exterior, its cabin is where the big changes happen. Aside from the column-mounted shifter, the cabin receives a heavy going-over, receiving Cadillac's new CUE infotainment system and a significant upgrade to the materials. Comparing it to furniture, Eric Clough, Cadillac's director of design for interiors, said, "An exceptional level of craftsmanship has gone into the redesign of the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, and it all centers on the premium materials and extensive use of cut-and-sew live stitching."
Under hood sits a 420-horsepower, 460-pound-foot, 6.2-liter V8. Fitted with direct injection and active fuel management, fuel economy for the big Escalade should get a much-needed boost beyond the current model's 14-city and 18-highway miles per gallon, although official numbers haven't been published quite yet. A six-speed automatic is the sole gearbox choice. Cadillac has also fitted the new Escalade with GM's magnetic ride control system, which should deliver a more refined ride than its predecessor.
