This 1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille represents the last of the truly gigantic land yachts. Never again would two-door coupes with 500 cubic inch engines cruise the highways casting 18-foot-long shadows on the pavement. 64,106 original miles Of course it's not perfect because no 40-year-old is, but you'll have everyone's eyes bugging out of their heads when you explain that it's completely original. The Buckskin leather interior is a nice change from cloth, which was standard-issue in the DeVille. Again, it definitely looks like a very low-mile car with smooth hides and minimal wear on the seating surfaces and carpets, which are protected by the original mats. All kinds of power equipment was available on the big Cadillacs, including automatic climate control, power windows and locks, a tilt wheel, and an AM/FM stereo that still sounds decent in this age of 900-watt factory setups. For a 2-door, back seat space is incredible, rivaling today's full-sized 4-door sedans, and the leather back there looks almost completely unused. Other trick features include fiber-optic lamp monitors, a built-in trash receptacle, and reasonably convincing woodgrained materials on the dash and door panels. And if you like road trips, you'll need a pickup truck to carry more than you can in the massive trunk, which is finished with the original mat and perhaps even the original spare tire and jack assembly. Cadillac's 500 cubic inch V8 was in its final year in 1976, and was designed to do one thing: move a lot of car without apparent strain. With a full head of steam, this car is content to cruise at 80 MPH all day in virtual silence. The engine bay looks as nice as you'd expect from a quality survivor like this, with dark blue Cadillac paint on the engine, an original air cleaner with Thermactor tube intact, and signs of conscientious maintenance throughout. The chassis is incredibly clean and it's neat to note that Cadillac painted the TH400 3-speed automatic transmission to match the engine and installed them as a unit, something no other division would do. There's also an original-style exhaust system, complete with catalytic converter and there's simply nothing else on Earth that rides like a '70s Cadillac. Handsome chrome spoke hubcaps. Selling with original license plates.

Junkyard Gem: 1998 Cadillac Catera

Wed, Dec 14 2016

A decade or so after Ford tried to swipe some US-market sales from European luxury marques by selling the German-built Ford Scorpio with Merkur badging, General Motors opted to sell the German-built Opel Omega luxury sedan as a Cadillac. The Catera was a reasonably nimble rear-wheel-drive sedan with a 200-horse DOHC V6 engine, and its badge-engineered nature made it a much less costly gamble than, say, the Cadillac Allante, which had its bodies built in Italy and flown to Michigan for assembly. Unfortunately, it had no manual transmission option, and Americans who remembered the miserable US-market Opels of the 1970s were put off by the Catera's Opelness. Its $29,995 list price was quite a bit cheaper than that of the (slightly less powerful) $39,800 BMW 528i and a bit less than the (slightly more powerful) $33,585 Acura 3.2 TL's cost, but the Catera didn't sell in large numbers. This one made it to a respectable mileage figure, and the nice interior shows that it was well-cared-for during its 18 years on the road. The ads for the Catera featured a cartoon duck named Ziggy. Fast, fun, fiendishly flexible! By 2000, Cadillac had ditched the duck and was touting the Catera's value. Related Video:

2014 Cadillac CTS

Fixated By Europeans, GM Ensures The Third Time Is A Charm
Few things are better for consumers than competition raising the bar. And no campaign seems fiercer than the one currently underway in the midsize sport-sedan segment now that Cadillac has introduced its all-new 2014 CTS to go head-to-head against the benchmark Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
While the CTS has been on the market for slightly more than a decade, up until this third-generation, Cadillac hasn't truly had the proper high-performance rear-wheel-drive architecture to build a genuine world-class fighter, both inside and out. And now that the American automaker has successfully mirrored Audi, BMW and Mercedes in overall vehicle size, engine output and cabin appointments, the first shots have been fired.

Opel director Sedran to succeed Docherty as Chevy Europe boss

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

When longtime General Motors executive Susan Docherty announced she would be stepping down from her post as the head of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe, there was some idle chatter that plans for the creation of a new global overseer position for the Bowtie brand was behind the move. And while US sales chief Alan Batey has indeed assumed control of Chevy worldwide since her departure announcement, Docherty's vacancy is being filled after all, with Opel chief strategist Thomas Sedran taking up the reins.
That's according to Automotive News, who reports that Sedran will be tasked with pulling Chevy out of a sales funk, much of it pegged on Europe's stagnant auto industry, which has sunk to a 20-year low. AN notes that Chevy's EU sales plunged 32 percent to 57,584 units through the first five months of 2013, but the everyday value brand is faring worlds better than Cadillac, which has sold just 167 units in Europe over the same time period.
Sedran, 48, has been in the auto industry for over 20 years. Most recently, at Opel he had been working on long-term plans for the marque, and was appointed to the brand's management board in April of last year. Prior to joining GM, Sedran was employed as a management consultant for AlixPartners, where he worked closely with Opel for six years. Sedran will assume his new duties beginning July 1.
