One of the purposes of studying history is to find iconic
symbols that represent a certain period of that moment in history. We all know that after World War II,
Americans were very proud and decided to flaunt it in their automotive
design. As the years went on the
cars got bigger, more elaborate, with more accessories and special colors. The 1978 Cadillac was probably the last
in the series of post-war design that represent that momentum.
Keep in mind that during the late 1970s, incomes were high,
taxes were low and the automotive manufacturers could afford to put in the
excesses that were desirable and expected and that the wealthy could afford. Just look to the interior of this car
for sale, there is no way it could be more posh and elaborate. It is made with the finest leather with
the goal of having the most comfortable car seats ever put into a car. Even though these cars were expensive for
a traveling salesman, in the 1970s many used these cars because they could
drive for 12-14 hours a day and still be somewhat refreshed after driving all
day. There is no question that the
1978 Cadillac Eldorado is one of the most comfortable cross country American
cars ever produced.
The car that you see before you is a car that has always
been kept by the most fastidious owners and the car has absolutely minimum
wear. While the pictures make the
car look like it is brand new, of course there is some slight wear here and
there but as you can see it is not even picked up by the camera.
So this is the car that made the two-tone brown color scheme
the trend for the next five or six years on all cars from Detroit and also is
the color scheme of the car used for the 1978 Cadillac Eldorado sales brochure.
Everybody loved the subtleties’ of
the colors and this is by far the favorite color scheme for the 1978 Cadillac
Eldorado.
Most car collectors love a big, long hood and certainly the
1978 Cadillac Eldorado used that formula for its great success. You can drive this car over the
roughest road and think you are on a newly resurfaced highway, that is how
smooth these huge cars roll out the bumps.
We know that Cadillac Eldorados of all years are especially
popular in Australia, New Zealand and Sweden and we do require that foreign
bidders get permission a head of time to bid but we do work with all out of
country buyers to make a smooth transaction.
Today many of the options on this car were just coming out
on the luxury cars of the 1970s; such as electronic level control,
thermostatically controlled air conditioning, rear window defoggers, four wheel
disc brakes and Twilight Sentinel along with a security alarm system, tilt
telescopic steering wheel, sunroof and CB radio just to name a few.
This car also includes new tires, new battery, owner and
shop manual along with a CB manual (during the 1970s having a CB radio was as
close to a cell phone as you could get).
To top all this off the original car has only 33,425
original miles.

GM removes start/stop from full-size trucks and SUVs with V8 engines
Mon, Jun 14 2021GM is removing start/stop technology from a number of its popular full-size SUVs due to the ongoing chip shortage. This follows the removal of cylinder deactivation technology from some of its trucks, which was also due to the chip shortage. GM Authority first reported the news, but we’ve just confirmed everything with a GM spokesperson. The following 2021 model year vehicles will be affected: Chevy Tahoe, Chevy Suburban, GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500. Only versions of those vehicles built with the 5.3-liter V8 or 6.2-liter V8 and mated to the 10-speed automatic will have the tech removed from them. Only vehicles manufactured on or after June 7 will be affected. “By taking this measure, it will enable us to continue production of our high-demand full-size SUV and pickups as the industry continues to rebound and strengthen,” GM said in a statement. Those who ultimately buy one of these vehicles without start/stop technology will receive a $50 discount off MSRP for their troubles. Losing this fuel-saving tech could be a big negative for some, but we know many folks turn it off anyway. Not having to press the button to deactivate start/stop every time could actually be a positive if youÂ’re part of the camp who does that already. 2021 Cadillac Escalade Sport Platinum View 27 Photos On the downside, GM says “most of the affected vehicles will experience a minor reduction in fuel economy.” We donÂ’t have revised window stickers in hand to know how each model will be affected, but any 1 mpg reduction will be rather impactful for vehicles rated as low as these trucks already are. Any reduction will be seen in the city mpg rating, so take the kind of driving youÂ’re going to be doing into account before purchasing. When it comes to greenhouse gas compliance rules, GM says it doesnÂ’t foresee this impacting the companyÂ’s average fleet score. It also intends to begin adding start/stop back to these models as soon as possible, but there will be no retrofit effort made to fit the tech to vehicles already built without it. “Our supply chain organization continues to make strides working with our supply base to mitigate the near-term impacts of the semiconductor situation,” GMÂ’s statement reads. “GM continues to leverage every available semiconductor to build and ship our most popular and in-demand products, including our highly profitable full-size trucks and SUVs for our customers.
South Dakota dealer filled to brim with classic cars
Wed, 12 Mar 2014Other than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Mount Rushmore, South Dakota isn't generally a hot topic, but that just means that cool stuff can hide in the open waiting to be discovered. Case in point: the classic car dealer Frankman Motor Company that operates three locations in Sioux Falls, SD.
Unearthed by the folks at Bring a Trailer, Frankman is a treasure trove of vintage, American iron. Their collection is full of the type of vehicles your irresponsible but cool uncle would show up with when you were a kid. Even better, these cars are priced at a level a working man can afford.
If you are lusting about a cruiser then Frankman has a 1956 Cadillac Deville Hard Top Sedan (pictured right) with 82,896 miles for $12,975. It's painted a color called Cascade Grey, but looks more like a pastel purple in pictures. While it needs some repairs to the accessories, the Caddy runs and drives, which is all you really need.
GM announces $7 billion Michigan factory investment, most going to EVs
Tue, Jan 25 2022GM announced a $7 billion investment in Michigan manufacturing, much of which is earmarked for EV production. Four sites are included, but the key elements are a new battery cell plant in Lansing and the conversion of GM's existing Orion Township facility to expand production of the forthcoming Chevrolet Silverado EV and its GMC Sierra sibling. GM says it is the largest investment announcement in company history and that it will create 4,000 new jobs. It also says 1,000 jobs will be retained. "We are building on the positive consumer response and reservations for our recent EV launches and debuts, including the GMC Hummer EV, Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Equinox EV and Chevrolet Silverado EV," said GM CEO Mary Barra. GM says the Orion expansion and new battery plant will support an increase in full-size electric truck production capacity to 600,000 units. This is in addition to the Factory ZERO facility in Detroit that will also be constructing the electric Silverado and Sierra. The Orion Township factory current builds the Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV, and will continue to do so during the plant's conversion. GM did not indicate what will happen with the Bolts once that conversion is complete or whether all will continue to be built at Orion. They do not use the Ultium vehicle architecture. GM will build other EV models at three other factories that are under construction or being converted. They are located in Spring Hill, Tennessee, Ingersoll, Ontario, and Ramos Arizpe, Mexico. GM says that it will have the ability to produce 1 million electric vehicles by 2025. The Ultium Cells Lansing facility is a $2.6 billion joint investment by GM and LG Energy Solution. GM says it alone will create 1,700 jobs once fully operational by late 2024. It will join two other GM Ultium Cells battery factories currently under construction in the United States, one in Ohio and the other in Tennessee. Not all of the $7 billion investment will be for EVs. It also announced $510 million of the total will go toward upgrading the Lansing Delta Township Assembly to produce the next-generation Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Money will also go to upgrading Lansing Grand River Assembly.
