Up for your consideration is a beautiful 1985 Cadillac Seville. This is a low mileage car with only 74522 miles on it. To the best of my knowledge this is the correct mileage. The car is in great shape, and runs and drives well. Transmission shifts beautifully with no jerking. The car is equipped with all of the Cadillac options for 1985 except for the sunroof. It does have the factory installed faux convertible top on it which was recently replaced. It is also equipped with the optional Kelsey Hayes spoke wheels offered by Cadillac at the time. These wheels are in fair shape with a little discoloration of the chrome on a couple of them, but all in all look really great considering they are about 28 yrs. old. Another option it has that I had installed is a remote 12 disk CD player located in the trunk. This system works great and is controlled from a controller attached to the dash. The A/C is climate control as in all Cadillac's and works fine both heating and cooling. The car is finished in Firethorn Blue and had a repaint about 4 yrs. ago. The paint still looks really good. Chrome is in great shape also. it is equipped with semi-wide white wall tires which have about 60% of their tread left on them. The interior is all original with the exception of the headliner which was replaced four years ago with the original type material. The seats are all leather and in excellent shape with no tears or major scuffs. The door panels also in great shape with no cracks or tears in the vinyl. One thing that does not work on the car is the auto leveling system. About a year ago the compressor, although it still runs, does not put out enough air pressure to raise the car. I have been unable to find a replacement compressor, therefore that system is now controlled manually by a valve stem near the gas tank filler under the rear license plate.
For anyone who is a fan of the so called "hump back" design of this generation of Seville this is a great example of a great auto. This design was used on the Seville from 1980 thru 1985. One of the complaints about this car was the 4.1 Liter engine not having enough power. It is true it is a little under powered but it was not meant to be used as a race or drag race car and performs beautifully on the highway.
I drove this car for several years as my daily driver and now in the last several months it has only been out for an occasional car show.
I am listing this with no reserve with what I feel is a low starting bid. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

Cadillac abandons plans for six-digit flagship sedan
Mon, 01 Jul 2013So much for that party. Cadillac has announced that it is walking away from plans to build a high-dollar, rear-wheel-drive ultraluxury sedan. The low-volume model would have been based on the lusty Ciel Concept, and the production iteration would have carried a price tag well over $100,000. Executives with the automaker reportedly claim the model wouldn't have bolstered the brand enough to be worth the investment.
Even so, Automotive News reports Cadillac is still on track to build a range-topping four-door to go head-to-head with the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. That model will likely be constructed on the company's upcoming Omega rear-wheel-drive platform, but we won't see it bow until at least 2016. Right now, the front-wheel-drive XTS sits at the top of the Cadillac lineup, and while that machine and it's twin-turbocharged V6 variant makes a compelling argument against certain luxury entries, it falls short serving as a legitimate competitor for the likes of the 7 Series and S-Class for enthusiast drivers.
2013 Cadillac ATS Premium 2.0T 6MT
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The new Cadillac ATS is an impressive sport sedan, often considered one of the most serious threats to the BMW 3 Series. Unlike GM's previous attempts, this four door brings aggressive styling, commendable chassis dynamics and class-leading handling to the highly competitive battle. And, like its daunting German foe, Cadillac offer several powertrain choices.
I recently spent time with the ATS 2.0T Premium on my home California turf. Fitted with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox with a limited-slip rear differential, my tester was lightly optioned, with only a paint upgrade and a cold weather package. That brought the as-tested price to $46,305, configured the way I imagine most enthusiasts would prefer. This meant I fully expected to enjoy a week with a tossable sport sedan that boasted "fun-to-drive" as its middle name, but all was not well...

Cadillac LTS flagship to bow at NY Auto Show
Wed, 06 Aug 2014There is widespread agreement across the industry that Cadillac needs a proper, rear-drive flagship sedan that completes legitimately with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series.
Fortunately, the same view is held within the company, and just such a car - possibly dubbed LTS - is under development. According to a high-level source at Cadillac, the new four-door, which is said to incorporate design cues from the marque's celebrated Elmiraj coupe concept, will debut at the New York Auto Show next April.
If the car needs a cheerleader, surely incoming president Johan de Nysschen is just such a person. De Nysschen doesn't arrive at Cadillac until late in the month, but certainly he will want a proper flagship to do battle with his old foes at Mercedes-Benz and BMW and old friends at Audi and Infiniti.
