This is a very rare 1979 Seville Elegante. If you like the first series of Caddy Sevilles, the Elegante is the one to have. It has Two-Tone paint, special perforated Leather & Suede seats, a center console with "secretary" stationary table and several other nice touches not found on lesser model Sevilles. The Elegante package was a nearly $3k option when new...... I bought this car a couple of years ago and just put it in my collection in Kansas, where it has sat until 2 weeks ago when I had it shipped out to Cali. I don't know much about the history of the car as I purchased it from a broker out of NY. It would appear to have new paint, new carpet, upholstery, and tires. the headliner is good, but the material looks "thin"..The door panels are good with minor wear on drivers door panel, but nothing more than a little wear on armrest. The dash is good. the paint is very shiny, I don't know how old it is. It is NOT show quality, it is a very good driver quality paint, put on very thick for my standards. Some minor cracking in paint just below rear window trim. The chassis has ZERO rust, some new suspension bushings, and appears to have never been damaged. The chrome on the car is good, some minor pitting here and there as its a 35yo car, but again, VERY NICE LOOKING. The engine is an Olds 350 to my knowledge, and has been converted to a 4-barrel carb at some point. It starts, runs good, doesn't leak ANY fluids, but I'd recommend a full tune up and fluid changes before putting it back on the road.....The wheels are Caddy wire hubcaps, but the originals  should be Dayton wire spoke wheels, I do NOT have them, this is how I purchased the car. I was planning on doing a LSA engine swap into this car as a pro-touring sleeper. The RWD Seville is basically the same platform as a Chevy Nova, but with 4-wheel disk brakes and a few other nicer pieces (auto ride height).  This car would make a great addition to any collection, just needs to be properly brought back out of hibernation and enjoyed. Due to divorce forcing asset liquidation I must sell this car and several others shortly.  This is a very nice car, but it is NOT a $20k car, not yet. If you're a true car guy you WILL be happy at the Buy-it-Now price

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014



The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.

Cadillac could 'flourish' in Australia, says marketing chief

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Cadillac might have its best product mix in recent history, and GM's luxury brand is looking to expand. In fact, it might even be making a trip Down Under, at least according to the company's global marketing chief.
Uwe Ellinghaus spoke with Australian site Car Advice at the Geneva Motor Show and said the brand could be quite successful there. "[The] goodwill that the Cadillac brand has is such a good starting base that once we get proper volume commitment and a dealer network behind it we can easily flourish," he said, though he warned that the plans are still in their earliest stages and years away. First, Cadillac will expand in markets with the highest possible sales, like China and Russia.
Ellinghaus said that the most likely models for Oz would be the SRX, Escalade and CTS; the latter would probably act as a replacement for the Holden Commodore. GM's Australian arm is ending local production in 2017, and there have been many rumors about what is happening to the big sedan. However, Ellinghaus admits exporting cars from the US to Australia is going to mean higher prices. In addition to the expense, Cadillac doesn't currently build any right-hand-drive models. It would likely take until the end of the decade before the Aussie models could be ready.

2015 Cadillac Escalade

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

Cadillac has been an interesting story in the auto industry over the past several years. Its comeback bid may be well over a decade old, but it's only recently that the Wreath and Crest has transformed from the auto industry's retirement home into its hot new thing. Today's Cadillac is a powerful marque working to instill passionate design, sound driving dynamics and cutting-edge technology into each model it builds, with vehicles like the ATS and redesigned CTS leading the charge.
Now, its latest model has arrived. This fourth-generation Escalade is among the most important new Cadillacs since the division's renaissance kicked into high gear. It's the brand's de facto flagship, and the first vehicle many young people think of when hearing the name "Cadillac." In the past, the Escalade was the chosen vehicle of the rich, flashy and famous. It's suffered over the past few years, though, particularly as new and more luxurious competitors have come to the fore.
With this latest redesign, General Motors is aiming to retake the spotlight as purveyors of the market's premier luxury SUV. To find out if it's been successful, I ventured down to the South Carolina Lowcountry to test the all-new 2015 Escalade.
