1984 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible Gorgeous Red Ca Car on 2040-cars
Santa Rosa, California, United States
I bought this car as a birthday present for myself for my 40th birthday, and it's been a lot of fun to own and drive. Cadillac made
only 3,300 of these cars in conjunction with ASC, a convertible top
manufacturer, and only a fraction of those cars survive today. The shape of
these cars is gorgeous, they age well, and according to Wikipedia: “the
convertible models are now highly sought after by numerous collectors.” This
model was very expensive when first offered, about triple the cost of a new
Fleetwood! It became an iconic car; I first saw it in the movie Pretty In Pink
and decided I must have one! I bought the car partly because the value
holds over time unlike many other classics. I put the car in storage in
2008 after buying a Rolls Royce. The year before I put it in storage, I
installed a new convertible top (cost $3,000) and painted it. The body is
straight, and most systems work fine. It is a California car with no rust. It has many options like leather interior,
leather wheel, power driver seat, digital displays, CD changer in trunk. The leather is good because I treat it regularly with a leather conditioner, and I replaced the front seat bottom panels with durable exterior vinyl. The
engine is strong: on a compression test done on 8/21/2013 the psi values were
as follows: Cylinder 1: 110 psi. 2: 130. 3: 120. 4: 130. 5: 130. 6: 100. 7:
110. 8: 110. It recently passed California’s rigorous smog test. I have the original tonneau cover (shown in photos) and a custom storage bag. Also a custom car cover for the rare occasions it's out of the garage. The car has some
minor mechanical issues, as follows: The climate control unit is bad (I have a
used replacement, plus a trunk full of miscellaneous parts). The odometer
stopped working in 2007. It shows 92,000 but the true mileage is about 5,000
more. One of the back windows rolls up slowly, and the torque converter rattles
for a few seconds when the car is first started up. I’ve really enjoyed the car
but with 6 other cars to care for I just can’t do justice to this beautiful
machine any more, and I need the garage space. My custom plate does not come with the car.

2016 Cadillac CT6 to get an aluminum body?
Sat, Dec 27 2014Well this is interesting: A hot-off-the-press report in Automobile claims the coming Cadillac CT6 will have an aluminum body. Most write-ups on the CT6 claim it will have a body that's a combination of aluminum and high-strength steel - Automobile itself wrote of "high-strength steel, aluminum, and steel stampings" in October. An all-aluminum body would be quite the reversal, contradicting the last four months of reportage and company statements on the matter. Mark Reuss, EVP of global development at General Motors, told The Detroit News in October, "We will create with the CT6, the world's most advanced body structure... [and] it's not aluminum. It's a stronger, smarter, safer premium luxury vehicle." It echoed the earlier Automobile story in saying the CT6 would use GM's "patented welding technology with high-strength steel, aluminum and steel stampings and castings." That same month, the Wall Street Journal ran a piece titled, "GM Won't Follow Aluminum Strategy in Future Cars," in which Reuss said, "making big statements around all carbon fiber, all aluminum, all magnesium, they're very interesting," and that GM wouldn't be doing it. That piece also circled back to a material mix and GM's special welding process, saying the CT6 "will have a body made of aluminum, high-strength steel and other materials, and will be 100 kilograms (220 pounds) lighter than a similar-sized car made of high-strength steel." We don't know what kind of body Cadillac's new assault on luxury is going to wear, but now we can't wait to find out.

Cadillac sales chief Peffer resigns amidst slow sales
Fri, 20 Jun 2014Cadillac continues to hemorrhage executives, as it's just seen its fourth high-level departure in the past year. Vice President of Global Strategic Development Don Butler (who defected to Ford) and European President and Managing Director Susan Docherty both left the company of their own volition, while Chase Hawkins, Cadillac's vice president of sales and service, was fired following a "violation of policy" in July of 2013. Strangely, it's Hawkins' replacement, Bill Peffer (shown above), who has handed in his papers this time around.
"Bill left to pursue other interests. Kurt McNeil replaces him, effective immediately," spokesman David Caldwell told Autoblog via email.
McNeil last held the VP of sales and service position back in 2012. He's currently the vice president of US sales for all of General Motors. According to The Detroit News, McNeil will take on the post in what is likely an interim capacity.
Comparing Cadillac's crazy classy coupes
Wed, May 6 2015I just returned from the press launch of Cadillac's new ATS-V, a high-performance version of the US luxury marque's entry-level compact car. While ordinary ATVs offer a choice of a 202-horspower, 4-cylinder, a 272-hp turbocharged four or a 321-hp V-6, this one packs a twin-turbo V-6 that pumps out 464 thoroughbred horses and 445 pound-feet of hard-charging torque. Starting at $62,000 for the sedan and $64,000 for the sexy coupe, ATS-Vs are available with a 6-speed manual (with Active Rev Matching and no-lift shift capability) or an 8-speed automatic with steering-wheel shift paddles. They comes with GM's latest 4-mode Magnetic Ride Control, 5-mode Performance Traction Management (with launch control), competition-spec traction and stability controls, an electronic limited-slip differential, specially-tuned electric power steering, huge Brembo brakes, and added air cooling for their engine, transmission, and rear axle lubricants. They roll on 18-inch Michelin Pilot Super Sport tri-compound summer tires on 9-inch-wide front alloy wheels and 9.5-inch-wide rears. And they will rocket from rest to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds while delivering 16 city EPA miles per gallon and 24 highway with the automatic and 17/23 with the manual transmission. The obvious purpose of all this technology is to effectively endow Cadillac's latest V-Series models with a rarely achieved true dual personality: go, stop, and corner like race cars on a track, then sooth, coddle, and entertain like luxury cars on the way to and from the track, or work. We had ample opportunity to verify both personalities with multiple hot laps of the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) Grand Prix course, followed by a more leisurely drive on public roads near Austin, TX. Even lacking wheel-to-wheel comparisons, we believe these hot new ATS-Vs are fully competitive with their pricier German competitors, and probably superior in some ways. So now, Cadillac will offer not one but two very sharp-looking, upscale, small-volume, 2016 compact coupes, almost the same size and at similar prices, but with totally different missions: this new high-performance ATS-V and the soon-to-be-upgraded ELR extended-range EV. The key question: why? Aside from its cramped back seat and ridiculous $76,000 starting price, I loved the ELR when it was introduced for 2014.
