Have you ever dreamed of discovering a car that was tucked away in a garage and forgotten? That happened to me when I found this beautiful 1979 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. This was my elderly neighbor’s car that she purchased new at a local dealership. She drove it only during the warmer months, and then parked it inside her garage while she drove her AWD Mercedes in the winter. In 1994 she moved to Florida to live with her son and the car remained parked in a climate controlled garage, covered up until her son sold it to me last year. I moved into my house in 1998 so I  did not know the car was sitting there until the day her son had the garage door open and I stumbled across it. Now anyone who knows anything about cars knows that you just can’t get in it and drive it after it has sat for 18 years. I spent almost $4,000.00 to get this Cadillac roadworthy, but now it runs and drives quite nicely. Tires and brakes are great, engine and transmission are smooth, and all electrical components work including the automatic ride leveler and cruise control. The next owner should not have to put very much money into the vehicle, if any. You should be able to drive it any distance with confidence. The interior is almost flawless with no rips, tears, or even any wear areas. To my knowledge the car has never been smoked in, eaten or drank in. The dash is excellent with the dash pad not faded or cracked anywhere. There is very little pitting on the chrome. The headliner was replaced by me. The outside is clean, straight, and rust free with a couple of small areas with a little surface rust. There is a boo boo on the passenger’s side behind the front bumper (pictured).Also,the son told me the front fenders were repainted. Seems his Mother had trouble navigating the narrow garage door and scraped booth front fenders. No body was required,just a respray. I have no reason to believe the mileage of 43,590 is not original. I didn’t do any major detailing to the car, just washed it and vacuumed the interior. Trunk and engine compartment are the way they looked when I pulled it out of the garage.

 

I can go on and on about the superior condition of the Cadillac, but I’m running out of text space. It is offered at no reserve; however I express the right to sell it locally, so it is subject to availability. Inspections are welcomed and recommended but I would be astonished if an inspector found anything of consequence. If you require more information, please reply to the ad with your phone number and I will reply as soon as possible. Thank you for considering my vehicle.

Cadillac launching crossover-heavy product offensive

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Utilizing information provided by Cadillac suppliers, Reuters says that Cadillac is preparing two more crossovers that will bow after its current product initiative is complete. According to the report, a year after the next SRX arrives in 2016, a pair of CUVs will be unveiled that will bracket it in size, and they'll be headed for the US and Chinese markets.
That is years away, though. For now, the company's attentions are on the nearly here CTS and ELR range-extended coupe, the next Escalade SUV (shown above), an ATS coupe, and the range-topper that will sit above the XTS. That, and possibly an even more impressive range-topper that promises to be the mean and majestic super-luxe unicorn Cadillac we've been dreaming about for more than a decade now.
In response to the issue of how German crossovers might be having an impact on Cadillac's future plans, a company source said - rightly, we think - "we don't need to duplicate the Germans." That doesn't mean, however, that it can't wade deeper into a market segment that the Germans are making a ton of money in. In fact, and since everyone is doing it, we'd be surprised if Cadillac didn't, even if it won't happen for another four years.

Cadillac Elmiraj Concept slinks in Leno's Garage

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Jay Leno's Garage has moved to Pebble Beach for the week. This time around, the affable comedian is taking a look at the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept that debuted during the Monterey car week, and is talking to General Motors vice president of global design, Ed Welburn.
There's plenty of reminiscing about what concept cars were like when these two were kids, before a fairly deep dive into the striking Elmiraj Concept itself. Welburn shares a few anecdotes about the design process behind the two-door concept, including how his designers changed his mind on the grille design.
After bringing up the Cimarron, Leno makes a solid point that the Elmiraj would be a solid production car that could even spawn a four-door variant. We couldn't agree more. Take a look below for the full video from Jay Leno's Garage.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
