1953 Cadillac Eldorado - *movie Car* - Body 529 on 2040-cars
Poolesville, Maryland, United States

1953 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible - Used in the movie My One and Only Almost as much of a star as its fellow cast, including Ren?e Zellweger and Logan Lerman, this vehicle played the family's get-away from a troubled life in New York in the 2009 movie My One and Only. Since filming, it has been starred in several magazines including Cadillac Self Starter and Old Cars Weekly. Originally from California, the car was purchased in Hollywood by me as a 95% rust-free white car with a black interior. It is one of the last 1953 Eldorados produced.
Two 1953 Cadillac Eldorado Convertibles were used for the movie. This is 1 out of the 2 used to play the main car. Two were used in order to have back-ups, as there were many scenes where the cars were required to drive very fast. The other car is currently overseas. The shooting for the movie took place over the summer of 2008 in Baltimore, MD and New Mexico. This Eldorado was redone for the movie, but has not been cleaned thoroughly since filming. The movie company had actually sprayed the car with dirt for effects, and that dirt has not been cleaned off since. For some scenes, the car was not driven but rather pulled on a trailer with Ren?e driving and filmed that way. For this, the windshield was sometimes removed. It has since been put back in. Wire wheels will be supplied with this car. Full wheel covers were used in the movie due to the wire wheels making the car appear to be moving backwards on film. Modifications done to the car for the movie include:
It has been stored in Maryland since filming. Contact Marc at (301) 672-1000 for any inquiries. View my About Me page for more information. |

2020 Cadillac CT5 revealed, will replace the CTS
Mon, Mar 18 2019Between the end of most of Cadillac's sedan offerings and the launch of the underwhelming XT6 crossover, things were looking dreary at the American luxury brand. But now we get an exciting surprise in the reveal of the 2020 Cadillac CT5 sedan. It's a clean, and arguably conservative-looking sedan, but there are a number of things that have us intrigued. The sedan is clearly the CTS replacement, since the name falls just below the flagship CT6 sedan. Under the hood are two familiar Cadillac engines, a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 and a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6. Power numbers haven't been announced, but expect each to make similar power to the current CTS: 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque for the four-cylinder and 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque for the V6. Rear drive and all-wheel drive are available, and both engines get a 10-speed automatic transmission. The car also adopts the trim level scheme introduced by the XT4 and XT6 crossovers, which means there are just two choices, Sport and Luxury. The Sport model, pictured in gray, has a more aggressive front fascia and dark taillights, while the Luxury model, shown in burgundy, has a more demure appearance and classic red taillights. We only get a glimpse of the interior, and it shows the latest electronic gear shifter shared with Cadillac's recent crossovers, along with a physical knob for interacting with the infotainment system. Cadillac announced that the car will make its public debut at the New York Auto Show, and it will be built at the Grand River factory in Lansing, Mich. We expect to get more details and images of the car when it's revealed at the show.
Cadillac teases production ELR ahead of Detroit Auto Show
Tue, 18 Dec 2012General Motors has just confirmed that the 2014 Cadillac ELR will make its official debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. We've already seen the ELR testing earlier this year using the same range-extended electric drive system as the Chevrolet Volt, and based on the shadowy image above, we're happy to see that the coupe's styling has stayed pretty true to 2009 Converj Concept.
The two-door ELR will be built alongside the Volt at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck plant starting later next year. Aside from this info, Cadillac has remained tight-lipped on the specific details of the car. But all that will all change on January 15.
Until then, all we have to offer you is the press release posted after the jump.
Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable
Sun, 10 Aug 2014A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.
