Offered for sale is my 59 Cadillac Eldorado that has undergone the most meticulous restoration with over 3500 hours of painstaking attention to detail. It is a numbers matching car with all of the power options that Eldorado's were known for including power windows, power door locks, power trunk release and pull down, power vent windows, 6 way seat, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, cruise control, power antenna, autronic eye, fog lights, Cadillac Q engine with tri power carbs, fully rebuilt air ride suspension. Every single part has been carefully cleaned and re-plated, re-upholstered, chromed, rebuilt, painted or polished to perfection. Nothing has been overlooked down to the smallest part that you cannot even see and I have tried to restore the car back to be totally original with a number of minor enhancements that cannot be detected unless I pointed them out. The car is currently registered, drives great and is a real head turner. I have receipts for over $230K so this gives you some idea of the extent of this incredible restoration. I have accumulated quite a collection of manuals, parts books, brochures, cd's etc, and a 5 layer car cover which will go with the car. If you are looking for the best, then you will not be disappointed. I have been asked several times about the materials used in the restoration and the differences that are unique to Eldo's. The interior leather is the correct Cardiff and Florentine grain metallic blue with the correct seat buttons. Gorgeous. The padded vinyl roof is the correct colour and grain Vicodec material as fitted from the factory. The headliner is the correct pattern vinyl in light blue with matching sun visors. The trunk area has the correct colour lining material for the padded floor mat as well as the sides and spare wheel cover. It even have the proper thatched material for the rear parcel shelf. That is a nice finishing touch. There are a few other Eldorado items to mention that are unique to Eldo's like the "lightning bolt" door lock knobs only for power door locks, rear trunk lip bar with the "Eldorado" script, 3 row rear grille, reversing light chrome "V"s, as well as the unique polished stainless side trim, and the Eldo only door trims that really look classy with the brushed stainless trim panels. These door trims have 3 courtesy lights in them, the rear one on the arm rest is red while the other 2 are the round white type and with the rear quarter panel lights, roof lights and dash light give 11 lights when the door is opened. It also has a 45 amp generator to keep the batter charged! Even the front seat is unique to Eldo's with chrome trim on the back and sides of the seat, along with map pockets and rear passenger knee pads. Other Eldo unique parts are the power brake pedal stainless trim and script, along with the stainless trim on the park brake pedal and the accelerator pedal. This is build number 216 out of a low total of 975 and first delivered to Fort Smith, Arkansas. I have the full build sheet details from Cadillac archives which lists every option that the car was built with and is very interesting. I can be contacted on +61 411 108 433 or email tpseddon@bigpond.net.au for any further information. Can assist with shipping if required. Well worth a look if you are serious and want the best. Vehicle is advertised elsewhere and may be withdrawn if sold prior to auction end. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Cadillac CT6 Plug-In on sale in China, Oregon utilities spur EV adoption
Fri, Dec 30 2016The Cadillac CT6 Plug-In is now available in China. The luxury plug-in hybrid sedan uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine plus two electric motors, which give the car a 0-62 mph time of 5.4 seconds. Its liquid-cooled 18.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack gives the car an all-electric range of 50 miles, with a total range of 581 miles. Cadillac offers a 200V charger with the CT6 Plug-In, which provides a full charge in less than five hours. Owners can check charging status remotely using OnStar or the MyCadillac app. The CT6 Plug-In is offered in two variants, priced at about $80,400 and $94,800. Read more from GM. Two Oregon utilities are launching a program to increase EV adoption. Portland General Electric (PGE) will build six charging locations, each with up to four dual-standard fast chargers. PGE will also build and operate charging sites for electric buses, freeing up money for Portland's TriMet transit agency to spend on the actual buses. Pacific Power will also build public EV chargers, and lower some electricity rates for operators. Both companies will also work to inform the public about the benefits of electric mobility. Oregon utilities are required to stop using coal by 2030, and use 50 percent renewable energy by 2040, which will make EVs even cleaner. Read more at Green Car Reports. Continental says a shift to EVs will cost its company jobs. The automotive parts supplier's CEO, Elmar Degenhart, says that while the company will need to cut production jobs, those will be offset at least in part by the creation of new positions related to electric mobility. "There is enough time to design the process such that the blow is softened and major pain can be avoided," says Degenhart. Some 30,000 jobs at Continental are tied to combustion engines.

2015 Cadillac ATS sedan gets early reveal in making-of video
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Cadillac is apparently preparing to roll out a minor facelift for the ATS sedan - which we know not because General Motors has already revealed it or because we're looking at it in a fresh batch of spy shots (though we've seen that too), but because a behind-the-scenes video from the filming of its commercial has leaked out online. Which may be bad news for Cadillac, and even worse news for the film production company, but good news for us, because we get to see it ahead of schedule.
The revised sports sedan seems to be sporting a new front bumper and less egg-cratey grille with Caddy's new wreath-less badge at its center, all apparently put in place to bring the sedan more in line with the new ATS coupe.
We're sure Cadillac will be revealing the updated 2015 ATS sedan shortly, but you can scope it out right now in the video below. By way of comparison, we've included an image gallery of the current ATS, released back in 2013, as well.
This dream home theater and office happens to be in a Cadillac Escalade [w/video]
Fri, Dec 19 2014Need to take a ride cross country in the lap of luxury while still getting some work done? Short of a tour bus, the Concept One Curve from Lexani Motorcars might be one of the most comfy options imaginable. Lexani is usually known for creating opulent armored vehicles, but for the Concept One Curve it focuses on converting a 2015 Cadillac Escalade into a place for work or play. The company strips out the standard passenger compartment to install a higher ceiling with LED lighting, two leather-upholstered power captain's chairs and jump seats. However, the real highlight is a 48-inch curved 4K television mounted against the driver's partition. Don't worry about missing your favorite shows because there's a TracVision Satellite, too. The driver gets a re-covered seat of their own up front. If business needs to get done, the vehicle also includes a Mac Mini computer, tables stowed in the seats and connections for video conferencing. Of course, if you're riding in something this lavish, security might be a concern too. In addition to the window shades, the Concept One Curve features cameras to know what's going on outside. A touchscreen management system lets occupants control the whole setup from the luxurious chairs. Lexani claims that if all of this somehow isn't enough for a buyer, it offers even more options to fit their needs. Scroll down to watch a video tour and read more about this rolling home theater. {C} Lexani Concept One Curve Lexani Motorcars, a boutique luxury conversion company receiving vast international praise, has produced the Concept One Curve - the world's first 2015 Escalade with a built-in 48" 4K Technology Curved Smart TV. Lexani Motorcars is constantly pushing the boundaries of possibility for luxury transportation in everyday vehicles. The Curve is a revisited version of their latest model, the Concept One, with a television upgrade and electronic rear curtains; it is unmatched in its ability to be a premier theater one minute and a five-star mobile office the next. The curved smart TV-which rests on a proprietary electronic partition-is indeed impressive, but it is just one of the numerous amenities this discreet masterpiece boasts.
