Up for auction is my 1975 Cadillac Eldorado convertible. This car is silver with green interior. The car is all original. The car is a driver and not a show car. The car only has 61,000 original miles and has never been driven in snow or inclement weather. The exterior of the car has no rot at all and a couple very minor barely noticeable spots of surface rust. The interior is in decent shape the seats have cracking in the leather but no tears. The door panels are in decent shape there is a tear in the driver side one but fairly decent other then that. The carpet was replaced about six months ago. The power top works great and was just replaced last month. I have a parade boot for the car which is a hard cover that goes over the top when its down so you can sit on it. The parade boot is black in color and you can see it in the picture of the trunk. The car has had many new parts in the last year which include top, all 4 tires with whitewalls, idler arm, steering stabilizer links, rear air shocks, battery, and the list goes on. The floors are solid in the car and the rears were replaced last summer. The paint on the car shines up good. The filler plates between the headlights and body and the tailights and body are intact but the paint could use redoing.It is a 40 year old all original car so there is some scratches and small sports of surface rust but the rust is very minimal and the car is still very presentable. The trunk lid has some scratches on it but that is the worst of the blemishes on car I think. I included a pic of the trunk lid so you can see what im talking about. The chrome on the car is in decent shape it does have some spots where it peeling but isn't bad at all. The frame on the car is as solid as can be with no rot spots or weak spots. The car has the 500ci V8 in it and is front wheel drive. Overall this car is in good shape for being almost 40 years old and all original. I upgraded the radio in the car and had a cd player installed and new speakers in front and back of car. Mechanically the car runs good the only issues is a exhaust leak which I have never tried to trace down because it didnt bother me much and it leaks some small oil drips which every old caddy does no matter what year they are. Its not enough of a leak to leave marks in the driveway but you can see some old oil on motor.If your looking for a restored car to trailer to shows then this isn't it but if your looking for a car to load with people and drive to the shows and drive home then look no further. This car gets compliments every time I drive it due to how it looks and mostly because of how big it is. The car is around 20 feet long and floats like a caddy should. This is a very fun car to drive and I have enjoyed it but thinking of buying a older truck so one of the toys has to go. The car is sold as is and the buyer is responsible for shipping or pickup. A deposit of $500 is due within 24 hours and the remainder is due within 7 days. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

GM to build $1.3 billion Cadillac plant in China
Wed, 08 May 2013General Motors has gotten approval to build a $1.3 billion manufacturing facility for its Cadillac brand in China. China's National Development and Reform Commission signed off on plans for GM to build the plant in the country's Shanghai's Jinqiao zone; construction is expected to begin in June of this year. According to a Bloomberg report, the plant will have an annual production capacity of 150,000 units.
No surprise here, but Cadillac would like to sell a lot more cars in the plush Chinese luxury market. The brand moved only 30,010 cars in China last year, compared with 400k for Audi, and about 330k for BMW. With Cadillac already telling us that it would be moving production of its XTS sedan to China - a production decision that saves having to pay 25-percent import tariffs - approval of the factory is a critical win for the company.
In fact, according to earlier comments by GM China president Bob Socia, it's at least conceivable that Chinese-built Cadillacs could be shipped back to the US for sale. The brave new world of globalization, getting stranger by the minute.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
