For Sale is my 1979 Cadillac Phaeton with 9,100 original miles. I am a collector and the second owner of this spectacular time capsule Cadillac. I purchased this car from the original Texas owner in 2005 with 6,800 miles on it. I have documentation and photos of the then elderly man standing in front of the car in front of his home the day I purchased it. It was a family treasure parked in the garage for Sunday drives. This car had been kept all original as a drivable collector.
Since I purchased this car I performed annual services, changed battery, headliner (factory correct) bumper fillers, new power antenna, new remote alarm and door and trunk unlock, air shocks and built in battery tender etc. I drove the car on average 350 miles per year to keep it active. The Car is stored in my temperature controlled warehouse with the rest of my collection.
This phaeton is fully equipped with special edition leather in as new condition (smells new), am/fm cassette, and cruise control. Twilight auto headlights. Illuminated entry, auto pull down trunk, all manual and best of all a set of NOS 1979 vintage appliance true spokes on vogue tires. These are period correct and could be purchased brand new on this car in 1979. I have the original hub caps as well. I have over $5,000 invested in the car that I am not looking to recoup, I am selling for fair market value only.
The car is all original.
The slight flaws- very few but I will list every single thing my perfection eyes know of, no hold backs at all.
A small dent on the underside of the driver side rear quarter panel, see photo- unless I pointed it out you would not see it. I did not want to repair it and risk blending the paint on the quarter panel. There is extremely light discoloration on the driver door armrest; from light wear again I did not want to risk a color match. The trip odometer sometimes sticks when you press to reset the trip mileage. On my last ride home I noticed the fuel gauge sticks after a fill up for a few seconds, then releases. The car is a true 9,100 miles, the undercarriage and gas tank still factory clean. Paint is all original except bumper fillers, which match great and pinstripe was matched perfect. The hood and trunk paint are not as bright as the rest of the car, but shows very well as you can see in the photos.
I never sell cars, and never intended on selling this one. I searched for this year, make and model for years, however I recently purchased an additional collector car I have been searching for and I getting tight on space in my temperature controlled storage warehouse.
This is a great car, turns heads and stops traffic, and rides like a dream. My price is set very fair; you can buy this car take out the entire family, keep it for a few years and sell it for more than you purchased it for.
The car is in South Plainfield, NJ 07080. Buyer must pick up or ship at their expense.

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:

Cadillac ATS-V and Mercedes-AMG C63 S pitted Head to Head

Fri, Sep 4 2015

Our favorite (and only) Autoblog-alum-turned-Motor Trend staffer is back with another Head to Head video, this time pitting the Cadillac ATS-V with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S. This performance machine shootout is ostensibly a way to figure out which of these new super sedans will earn the right to go toe-to-toe with the undisputed champion of its segment, the BMW M3. In reality, it's just a really good excuse to put three of the hottest sedans on the market on video at the same time... and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Jonny Lieberman spends time in each of the two new challengers on the road, picking apart their powertrains, chassis and driving dynamics on the kinds of twisty roads drivers of these cars will relish. Then, he hands the keys off to Randy Pobst, who sort of acts as an unmasked version of a certain tame racing driver, except that he talks and has a personality. 0-60 and quarter-mile times are equated, braking performance is measured and scores are tallied before the two sport sedans end up at Willow Springs raceway. Interestingly enough, the car that proves (just slightly) faster at the race track isn't the car that wins the comparison. Curious? We're not going to spoil it for you. Check out the video, above. Then, for more action of these two machines, check out the videos just below.

Cadillac XT5 caught uncovered during photo shoot

Fri, Jun 26 2015

It's only been a few weeks since Cadillac announced that its replacement for the SRX, the new XT5, is on its way. Now, we have images of it out in the open and completely free of camouflage. Obtained by a reader at Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, the Caddy was spotted during what user Saw930 believes was a photo shoot in New York's trendy SoHo neighborhood. There's only a pair of images, from the front and rear three-quarters, but it's enough to give us a very thorough overview of the exterior styling on the new CUV. In short, the design language that has been seen on Escalade, CTS, and upcoming CT6 has indeed made its way to the SRX replacement. The broad, egg-crate grille is perhaps the cleanest iteration of Caddy's latest styling, while the CT6-inspired headlights look sharp, as well. Expect a similar headlight pattern to the CTS, with strong LED character accents on the outside of the headlights that integrate seamlessly with the lower DRLs. In back, the taillights curve over the rear haunches and blend into an extremely strong shoulder line. It's a dynamic and aggressive piece of design that we'll need to see in person before signing off on. The rear bumper, meanwhile, is a nicely styled piece, complete with twin, integrated, rectangular tailpipes that flank a piece of (probably faux) skid plating. There's a similar off-road treatment in the front bumper, as well. While we wait for scour for more news on the XT5, have a look at the two images Saw930 captured and posted at Oppo and let us know what you think in Comments.
