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.

President Trump's new limo spotted testing at high speed

Thu, May 25 2017

What you're looking at is no ordinary limo. Look past the swirly camouflage and you'll see what appears to be a Cadillac, but don't let those looks fool you. This is the new Beast, otherwise known as Cadillac One, and codenamed by the Secret Service as Stagecoach. This is the car that will shuttle President Trump to and fro. It's hard to get a sense of scale from these images, but this car is huge. It's very likely built atop a heavy-duty truck platform, which is necessary due to the thick armor-like bodywork that's hermetically sealed to keep POTUS safe and sound. It's hard to tell for certain, but it appears this Beastie is riding on Goodyear Regional RHS II tires, which would otherwise be used on trucks and buses. Translation: this thing is heavy. The Beast is ostensibly badged as a Cadillac, and it wears the latest version of Caddy's corporate grille, badge, and upright headlamps at the front. From the rear, there's a hint of Rolls-Royce Phantom, with rear glass that tapers elegantly into the deck lid. In between is a massive slab-sided passenger compartment that's rumored to seat as many as seven passengers. These shots were snapped at GM's Milford Proving Grounds. It seems The Beast is undergoing some high-speed tests, though high-speed here is relative. Those Goodyears are only rated for 70 miles per hour or so, and we doubt the big 8.1-liter gasoline-fueled V8 engine is geared to push the President much faster than that, anyway. Related Video:

Jeep Twitter account hacked, bad language, poor grammar and some hilarity ensue

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Just a day after Burger King's Twitter account was compromised by "unauthorized users," Jeep's social media feed has been similarly hacked. Both instances of digital incursion share some similarities - the BK hackers changed the company's logo for McDonald's familiar golden arches, saying a sale had occurred, while the Jeep miscreants have replaced Jeep's branding with that of General Motors property Cadillac.
The resulting tweets from the damaged Jeep account have been a pretty brutal, to put it bluntly. Most of the content coming from the hacked account is unpublishable here, using language that is peppered with racial epithets, and poorly worded "shout outs."
In addition to the defamatory tweets themselves, the hackers have significantly altered the layout of the page. Jeep's header image now features a picture of the Cadillac ATS to go along with the Wreath and Crest, some language calling out that car as winning the 2013 North American Car of the Year award, and this gem: "The official Twitter handle for the Jeep(R) - Just Empty Every Pocket, Sold To Cadillac =[" Also, perhaps in an ode to yesterday's Burger King heist, the background image for the page now features a McDonald's-themed donk. The devil's in the details, we guess.

Cadillac is bringing a new concept to Pebble Beach

Mon, Aug 15 2016

Cadillac will debut a new concept Thursday in Monterey. The company also released teaser video, but it only shows us a few glimpses of interior parts and a concept drawing that seems to show a very minimalistic dashboard. The big draw appears to be the large screen filling in for instruments and infotainment. According to Cadillac, the screens are curved OLED panels co-developed with LG, and the technology behind them will appear in a future Cadillac. Bringing a new concept to the famous Monterey Car Week is a return to form for Cadillac. In past years the company brought beautiful concepts like the full-size, four-door Ciel convertible, and the taught, athletic Elmiraj coupe. The latter of these showcased designed cues that trickled into production Cadillacs. No word (or pictures) on the exterior yet. We'll be sure to have complete coverage of the concept later this week.
