We have here what was supposed to be my first car. In 1981 my dad told me to find a car that didn't cost an arm and a leg and he'd cosign a note. After a few days I found this Eldorado at a local Ford dealer. He'd picked it up at auction as a government drug confiscation out of Florida. It still had a false panel over the trunk floor. And a mild shift kit in the trans. And mag wheels. And it was black. Cool factor for a 16 year old kid in 1981? Off the scale. So I took the folks and showed them...and my mother bought it for herself the next day. But that worked out because I got her triple black '73 Montego MX...

The Eldorado worked its way thru the family for the next 15 years or so until it wound up with me. Finally. I promptly had the vinyl top removed and the car stripped to bare metal and painted. It was sweet, but I was just married and had a business I was opening and so I sold it. Not my brightest moment. So, a fast forward to around 2004 or 5 and this old guy comes in my office and says "Wanna buy that Cadillac back?" Well I'd had a lot of Cadillacs so I said "Eh?" He said "The black one" Well I'd had some black Cadillacs by then, too, but my curiosity was piqued, even though I didn't remember the guy. So we went to his house and out in his field was...my Eldorado. So yeah, I said I'd take it off his hands. Thru a battery in her and drove her home...

...and in 2007 I had a major health crisis I have just recovered from. The Eldo sat outside...for 8 or 9 years. There was simply nothing I could do with her and nobody else had the time. And so what you see is what she is reduced to: A parts car. That's what I am selling her as. She still runs and the trans shifts as far as I know but the body is rusty and the back floor boards are gone and the mileage is approximate(the title says exempt since she's over 10 years old). The interior is crap. The brakes are out and there is no exhaust. But she's a 425 with 4 Western Wheels turbine mags and a whole lot of other good parts and a clean Indiana title. Or, you could be slightly crazy and fix her in spite of her sad condition.

That's what I am kind of hoping someone does.

Pick up is entirely the buyer's responsibility and let's emphasize again: She's a rough old car. Don't expect anything BUT a rough, rusty old car.

A rough rusty old car that I hope someone saves from what comes next, because if she doesn't sell like this I'll be cutting her up before the 1st of July. So do me and the car a favor and take her home with you. She's been a money pit her whole life but she's fun.

Lexani Motorcars unveils plans for 2021 Cadillac Escalade Mobile Offices

Sun, Mar 29 2020

Lexani Motorcars is an aftermarket shop that specializes in high-end luxury customizations for a variety of large SUVs and vans. The Corona, Calif. company aims for business-class-type vehicles, rather than "Pimp My Ride" hack jobs, and has recently been working on 30-inch extended mobile office conversions, among other projects. Up next: the 2021 Cadillac Escalade. Lexani Motorcars, not to be confused with Lexani wheels, took to Instagram to show off a vision for a custom office setup for the new-generation 2021 Escalade. Cadillac's large SUV would be extended by 30 inches and outfitted with a plethora of over-the-top luxury options. Lexani's most extreme additions include armoring, but their toys don't have to be that serious. The most immediately noticeable feature in the Escalade is the starlight headliner. Similar to what's seen in certain modern Rolls-Royces, the starry ceiling is not necessarily a new feature for Lexani Motorcars, but the design has evolved. This most recent interpretation looks like it has a specialized design, possibly one that mimics a real part of the sky.Â The Mobile Office includes four massive captain's chairs, each of which has motorized functionality and quilted leather. In between each set of seats is an integrated iPad tablet, and more are seen built into the walls of the SUV. Each seat also has a fold-out desk and foot rests for reclining.Â Furthermore, the Mobile Offices include hideaway big-screen TVs that pop up behind the rear seats. Other options include satellite, curtains or shades for the windows, custom trim pieces made out of high-end materials such as carbon fiber or real metals, cooled storage for drinks, and storage compartments for libation stemware. Lexani Motorcars does not list a price, as each car is configured per the customer, and it does not mention when the new Escalades will become a reality. The Escalade was originally estimated to launch in late 2020, but it's unclear whether or not that will be affected by the current production stoppages due to coronavirus.

2019 Cadillac ATS-V Coupe Drivers' Notes Review | Not your granddad's Coupe de Ville

Wed, Oct 31 2018

The 2019 ATS-V is Cadillac's smallest car, slotting below both the CTS and CT6 sedans. It's also the automaker's only two-door model, helping compete against the Audi RS5, BMW M4 and Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe. Based on the GM Alpha platform, the ATS shares more than a little with the Chevrolet Camaro. Unlike the Camaro, the high-performance V variant uses a twin turbo V6. Like the Chevy, power is sent to the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic. Our Wave Metallic blue test car has about $10,000 worth of options, the most expensive of which are the $2,300 Recaro sport seats. The Luxury Package — alloy pedals, HID headlights, navigation and a Bose stereo system Â— tacks on another $2,100. There are some visual upgrades, too, including $1,295 for a dealer-installed carbon-fiber engine cover. All in, this ATS-V rang up for $78,775. Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore: Cadillac has problems, but the ATS-V coupe isn't one of them. It's everything former Cadillac president Johan de Nysschen hoped the brand could achieve in the sporting realm. The car has a tight yet tolerable suspension. The steering is direct but not overly weighted. The engine burbles and growls with noticeable attitude. It's all underscored by the six-speed manual transmission, which has a heavy clutch and requires precise throws. It's a serious sports coupe for enthusiasts. Cadillac's style is brash, edgy and sharp. It's all of those things literally and figuratively. Note the cuts and creases. The ATS is borderline severe Â– but I like it. I think it's smart for Cadillac to really go for it in the design department. Cadillac is again tweaking its lineup and the ATS sedan and ultimately the coupe will be replaced. Still, there's a place for a car like the ATS-V coupe in the Caddy stable. There should be, anyway. The devil is in the engine, but the details of the @Cadillac ATS-V Coupe aren't bad either. @therealautoblog pic.twitter.com/7fQOrBkxeE Â— Greg Migliore (@GregMigliore) October 29, 2018 Associate Editor Reese Counts: I forgot how great this thing is to drive. I won't repeat all of Greg's comments, but suffice it to say that it's everything you want in a luxury sports coupe Â— direct steering, a chassis that balances performance and comfort and a potent engine. Combine sharp styling and competitive pricing, and you have one of the most compelling non-German luxury cars on the market.
