1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. Last year for the full size Eldorado.

Probably one of the nicest example ever to hit ebay. This is really a buying opportunity. This car has been kept in a temperature controlled environment, as part of a collection. I rarely ever sell a car from my collection, but another opportunity has become available and space being an issue ( you can't ever have enough) I've decided to sell it. I am not a car dealer, nor do I buy cars with the intent to just turn them. I had looked long and hard before finding this one. The car has 11,258 original very well documented miles, as records of the state inspection were kept, and will remain with the car. Everything works and performs as it should. I've included lots of pictures from just about every conceivable angle in order to show the cars condition, even a shot of the carburetor. I've taken close up pictures of the factory pin stripes, which show the factory connection where the two stripes meet which are actually one piece, in order to show that it's all original paint under them, with the exception of the plastic filler ends, which have been replaced. The glass is in perfect condition, no scratches. I welcome by appointment anyone that wants to view the car in person. This car was also featured in a hard cover book about Cadillacs, and it represents the 1978 model year. I've included pictures of the car in the book as well as the photograph that was taken at the time, in order to prove it's legitimacy. If you're looking for a super nice example for your collection, this is the car. There is no rust anywhere on this car, not even in the normal known locations, and the reason is because of how it has been stored. The # 1 thing to consider as it reflects everything about the car. When I purchased this Cadillac, the original tires were still on the car, but because of their age, the tires were starting to show signs that would not be safe to drive, and since I wanted to take the car to local car shows, I decided it was better to replace them. When the original tires were removed, I took that opportunity to have the factory wheels ash blasted and re-coated with the proper black tone. The new tires are the proper size Vogue White Wall Yellow Stripe as seen in the pictures. Tires still show the nipple strands from production as they have hardly any miles on them. Included with the car are all the rare factory books with samples of interior and exterior options, these books are rare and are highly collectible and have sold for hundreds of dollars in this condition. Also included are the original Cadillac keys given out by the dealer at the time of the original purchase and still in it's original packet. The owners manual as well as all the other booklets are still in excellent condition and will remain with the car.

The term you get what you pay for applies here, those that are hard core collectors know this better than anyone else.

The picture were taken about a week ago, and nothing including the engine compartment has been all dolled up just for the pictures. You're looking at the car pretty much the way that I got it.

The pictures were taken with the eye of a real collector (me) with plenty of automotive background and history knowledge. The pictures were also taken so that you could see what I would be looking for, when I'm on the hunt for a super nice car. Condition of rubber and seals in general, and in this cars case in exceptional condition. The reflection side shot, tells a lot about the side panels, your looking for abnormal distorted reflections, this car has none. The body lines and the joints, the chrome including all moldings, the wheel wells, the door jams. Interior you're looking at the molding, dash, door panels for any signs of unusual wear or warpness for the mileage and the stated condition of the car, you want to make sure it matches. If it sounds like I'm way too picky, I am, I've been told by other car enthusiast like myself this many times, but hey, cars have always been a big part of my life.

Note: The car is not from Montana as the license plate would have you believe, but when I saw that plate on ebay, I couldn't pass on the opportunity to buy it for this car.

If you have any questions about this car please feel free to ask.

Cadillac executive appointments have global flair

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

Cadillac has rearranged its executive suite in order to take full advantage of its sales momentum. Don Butler is moving from his role as US VP of marketing to a newly created position with the title VP of global Cadillac strategic development. It will be his job to "drive the next phase of Cadillac growth internationally," planning strategy and developing new markets.
He will be replaced by Steve Majoros, an exec poached from Chevrolet's ad agency of record, Campbell Ewald. Majoros, who has the Chevrolet campaigns "Like a Rock" and "American Revolution" on his resume, will oversee Cadillac's US and international marketing.
Another component in the brand's renewed global focus includes conducting an ad agency review. Announced last month, Fallon Worldwide remains Cadillac's agency of record, but others, said to include Campbell Ewald, will be bidding to make the creative that helps Cadillac expand sales percentages by triple digits here and in China. Scroll down below for the official press release.

2016 Cadillac ATS-V brandishes 450 horses and 6-speed manual

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

Details about the hotly anticipated 2016 Cadillac ATS-V are tumbling out, and they look to be everything we could ask for in a high-performance Caddy coupe.
According to Road & Track, the ATS-V will use a version of the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 from the CTS Vsport, but the wick will be turned up to 450 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. In glorious news for driving enthusiasts everywhere, that potent mill will be available with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic.
According to R&T, the engine has a heap of high-performance tech to let it make the extra ponies, including titanium connecting rods, two water-to-air intercoolers, titanium turbines for the turbos and an additional radiator dedicated to cooling the gearbox and electronically locking differential. Keeping it all planted are a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, and a suspension with 50 percent more roll stiffness.

Genesis cars win accolades, offer value — so why are sales so bad?

Tue, Jul 31 2018

My high-school buddy Brent Cormier was so smitten with the Genesis G80 when he saw it at an event I hosted at SXSW in 2016 he bought a used 2013 Hyundai Genesis a short time later and fell in love with the car. "It surpasses my every expectation," said Cormier, a self-described "renaissance man" who owns and runs a real estate agency with his wife Laura, is a food service executive chef and part owner of Austin-based Thin the Herd Guitars. "I was locked into Mercedes and Audi for 10 years," he added. "And felt trapped in an endless pit of maintenance costs." After owning the Genesis over the past two years — including using it as an Uber and Lyft driver to earn extra cash Â— Cormier learned what some frugal luxury sedan buyers and a handful of car reviewers have discovered: Genesis offers great bang for the buck compared to other premium brands and can compete with the best in terms of performance, features and comfort. Hyundai's luxury brand also earned a prominent third-party endorsement last week when for the first time Genesis topped J.D. Power's 2018 APEAL study, surpassing German luxury-performance icon Porsche. The APEAL study (which stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) "measures owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement across 77 attributes," ranging from performance to comfort, and asks nearly 68,000 owners of new 2018 models to score vehicles on a 1,000-point scale. In its second year ranked as a stand-alone brand, Genesis earned an APEAL score that bumped it up 15 points to 884 and helped push it past Porsche Â— and past BMW, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, Land Rover and Lexus, in order of ranking. Last month, Genesis also topped J.D. Power's Initial Quality Survey (IQS) for the first time this year. And both its models were awarded Top Safety Pick Plus ratings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, among 11 Plus ratings in all for Korean vehicles. Despite high J.D. Power rankings and great reviews, Genesis U.S. sales were off 50 percent for the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017, and in June Genesis sold only 796 vehicles Â— the first time U.S. numbers dropped below 1,000 in a month. Part of Genesis's APEAL and IQS success can be attributed to its small product lineup: just two models, the G80 and G90 sedans, with a third, the 2019 G70, launching later this year. And while those numbers may help in J.D.
