Hello
I am selling my 1983 Cadillac El Dorado. The car is in beautiful condition with only 66,000 miles. This a rare in house " Cadillac Classic Edition", with Rolls Royce Grill and rear trunk straps. Cadillac dealers were doing this option a lot back in the day, as an extra add on. A lot of documentation goes along with the car to prove the mileage and service records. It has not been tagged for the road in years, however the previous owners Ground Keeper, drove it regularly around his estate.
I purchased the car from a collection that the gentleman had. He was a very successful real estate owner. He was friends on Frank Sinatra and Bob Hope. I had known the car for years as I grew up. It has always been kept in a heated garage with carpeted floors.
The car appears to still retain most of its original paint. It is in very nice condition with the only checking noticeable from the left side fender (repaired at some point). I just had all the bumper fillers replaced. The roadster top is in very nice shape and shows little wear. The car is not dinged up and very straight. It runs, drives and shifts beautifully.
The leather interior is almost as new, showing very minor wear on the floor mats only. The headliner was starting to sag, so I replaced it. The interior still has that new car leather smell. Not at all damp and /or musty inside due to the way its always been stored. The trunk area is big and clean enough to camp out in it.
The following pictures tell the story, although they don't do it justice.. I guess you would call it a survivor. If it was a muscle car it would definitely fit the criteria. A very nice driver would be my description. Way to nice to even touch. Email me if you have any questions. It can also be seen with appointment only. I can be reached at 302-229-0844
This a no reserve auction. No zero feedback bidders please. Good Luck.

Cadillac dealers get $5,000 incentive for ELR test drives
Tue, 13 May 2014The 530 Cadillac dealers - out of 940 total dealers - that signed on to sell the brand's ELR for $75,000 or lease it for $699 per month have managed to move 247 of them in the last five months. That's a little less than two cars for each dealer more than two dealers for each car if you need help with the math. With inventories of the luxury plug-in hybrid building up - Automotive News reports a 725-day supply - General Motors has created the Demonstrator Allowance Program to billow the sails on that slow moving ship, giving dealers $5,000 to promote ELR test drives.
A dealer with one ELR in its test fleet that racks up 750 test driven miles between May 1 and June 2 earns the fifty Benjamins, a dealer with two ELRs in the test fleet will get one hundred Benjamins. That will be added to summer incentives for dealers that pay $2,000 for units sold in July and $1,000 for units sold in August, while on the customer side, Cadillac has put "customer discount certificates" worth $3,000 on the hood for buyers and lessees.
Cadillac suggests this is about raising awareness of the ELR, but the question is how much dealers will be able to do for a car that observers - and buyers, apparently - still consider highly overpriced.
Cadillac tipped to call flagship something other than LTS
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without large sedans in its lineup, and while the XTS has had to hold down that end of the fort all on its own, it won't have to for too long. That's because the luxury brand in the General Motors portfolio is preparing to roll out its new LTS, stylistically previewed by the Elmiraj concept pictured above. Only now, the latest thinking is that the upcoming flagship model may not be called LTS at all.
As Automotive News points out, Cadillac's naming scheme is all over the place at the moment. The ATS slotting below the CTS makes sense (alphabetically), but where do the ELR, SRX and especially the Escalade fit into that naming hierarchy? And how would LTS - as the project has been known until now - sit above the XTS?
Fortunately, Cadillac may be on the case, as two of the division's most recent senior appointments seem keen to rationalize the naming scheme. One is Uwe Ellinghaus, who joined Cadillac as chief marketing officer late last year. Speaking of the brand's nomenclature last spring, Ellinghaus was quoted as saying, "We are aware that this is currently a weakness of the Cadillac brand." And his new boss is bound to agree.
Combative de Nysschen defends Cadillac move, naming change
Mon, 29 Sep 2014
Johan de Nysschen isn't afraid of taking quick, decisive actions, even if they are criticized. Since taking the wheel at Cadillac, he instigated moving the luxury division's base of operations to Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood and introduced a new naming scheme for the future of the brand, like he did at Infiniti. The polarizing boss recently explained his feelings about the future of Cadillac in more depth on his Facebook page, but unfortunately only his friends could read it. Thankfully, Daily Kanban posted much of the strongly worded missive for the whole world to see.
Much of the message examines the decision to move some employees to New York. De Nysschen claims that it's all about giving Cadillac distance from Detroit to reshape itself. It allows for, "No distractions. No side shows. No cross-brand corporate considerations. No homogenized lowest common denominator approach. Just pure, unadulterated, CLASS."
