Up for auction is my 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. Triple black with only 94,000 miles. Very original survivor. This Eldo isn't much different than it was 38  years ago when it was sitting on the showroom floor of a Cadillac dealer. I bought this Caddy last summer. I never met the original owner. It was represented by the owner of the garage that has serviced this Eldo for at least the last 30 years. As far as the story goes this car has never been stored. Just garaged kept and easily driven an avg. of only 2500 miles a year. The owner just got to old to keep driving it and finally decided to sell it. When I bought it it had a brand new PA inspection sticker on it. It is still valid and only has about 800 miles since it was put on. The paint is original except the hood was re sprayed about 10 years ago. The hood looks great the rest could use a good detail but still looks pretty good. The black leather interior also still looks very good. Back seat is in great condition. The drivers seat has a small tear in the lower part of the back. Pretty darn good for a 38 year old convertible. Chrome all looks good, wheels are great looking, tires look close to new. The fillers are showing their age, not completely gone but should be replaced. Door panels look great. A couple of small cracks in the dash. The roof isn;t new, not sure if it is original or not. Not ripped up or torn. Boot is good. Roof motor works. One of the cross bars is disengaged. I have only had it down. With a second person you can get it up and down. On my list to get fixed. Starts right up. Runs good. In the shop now getting a valve cover gasket replaced and some new belts installed. Tranny shifts as it should. The windows work. The original radio does not. Air wasn't blowing cold. I haven't had any of the issues diagnosed. After the long winter here in Pgh, I just got it out of the garage last week. I bought this Eldo to keep and drive. Long story short, my daughter got engaged last fall and will be married this fall. The bills are starting to pile up and need to be paid some how. I have a few of my small collection for sale and don't know yet if I have to sell all of them. You know we got her through college and I thought I could finally spend some money on myself. Oh well. Either way, these cars are rare and getting rare each year. If you are local come on by and check it out. Thanks. Email with any questions.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.

2021 Cadillac Escalade ESV will debut at the New York Auto Show

Wed, Feb 5 2020

LOS ANGELES, California — Cadillac pulled the wraps off its 2021 Escalade today at an event in Los Angeles, and we were there to see it all play out live and in living color. But while we have some specifications for the long-wheelbase ESV version, that model wasn't on display. According to the automaker, the next-generation Escalade ESV will get a formal debut at the 2020 New York Auto Show in April. The 2021 Cadillac Escalade ESV will boast a wheelbase of 134.1 inches and an overall length of 226.9 inches, making it 15.9 inches longer than the standard Escalade and 5 inches longer than the similarly extended Lincoln Navigator L. That extra length translates into 1.7 additional inches of third-row legroom and 17.4 more cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row over the standard Escalade. We expect the ESV will get the same two powertrain options as other Escalade models. The standard 6.2-liter V8 puts out 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. An optional 3.0-liter diesel-fueled inline-six will offer 277 hp and 460 lb-ft while delivering improved fuel efficiency over its gasoline-powered sibling. Both engines will be mated with 10-speed automatic transmissions. The 2021 Escalade will go on sale in late 2020. We're not yet sure if the extended ESV will come at the same time or be added later, but we ought to know more by its debut in April. Related Video:

Cadillac follows Lincoln in going back to proper names

Thu, Dec 12 2019

Who else is excited for the 2025 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham? Right, don't all excitedly jump up and down at the same time. May make Earth wobble. In an interview with multiple outlets (and brought to our attention by Reuters and CNET Roadshow) that mostly covered Cadillac's electrification plans, Cadillac President Steve Carlisle indicated that the brand's Euro-style alphanumeric naming strategy will mercifully be coming to an end. CNET indicates it'll correspond with the rollout of new EV models, but we wouldn't be surprised to see it happen even earlier. Lincoln's similar decision has already proven to be successful, and it's always seemed like a matter of time before Cadillac followed suit given the two brands' similar history and market segments. The current naming convention of CT(number) for cars and XT(number) for crossovers was hatched in 2014 and is widely credited to former Cadillac president Johan de Nysschen, who had previously transformed Infiniti's naming convention into something similarly Germanic. That the man previously worked at Audi should be a surprise to no one. While people have generally been confused by the switch, we can't say it's any worse than the old CTS, XTS, ATS and SRX business that came before. At least de Nysschen's system had a hierarchy. Yet, for a brand once known for grand, stately cars and equally grand, stately names like Eldorado, Seville and, yes, Escalade, a European-style alphanumeric strategy never seemed right. It was at least indicative of Cadillac's constant attempts to emulate German brands rather than setting its own, uniquely American course (as Lincoln has done recently). That the most American and successful of its lineup, the Escalade, hung onto its name through thick-and-thin speaks volumes. So, will we really be seeing that '25 Fleetwood Brougham? That does seem rather doubtful. Beyond Eldorado, there's not a lot out there in the back catalog that doesn't reek of crusty old country club luxury. Or was garbage. Perhaps sampling from Cadillac's concept car file with something like Elmiraj? Whatever it comes up with, though, how could it be worse than simultaneously selling an XT5 and XTS?
