1966 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible 


The 1966 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, with a production run of only 2,250 vehicles makes this baby a rare gem. With over 200,000 Cadillacs sold in 1966... the 1966 Cadillac was the best ever in sales and production in the history Cadillac. The 1966 Cadillac convertible production reached its peak with 19,200 1966 Cadillac DeVille Convertibles and 2,250 1966 Eldorado convertibles produced. This is an ultra rare car. Only 2,250 1966 Cadillac Eldorado convertibles manufactured. Of which less than ten percent (200 cars) were equipped with the ultra rare bucket seats and console. Furthermore, how many were built like this car and equipped with dual power bucket seats? Additionally, this car appears to have been originally equipped with rare factory head rests.

This car has an interesting history, having been bought new by a cattle dealer in the state of Vermont, who upon his retirement sold it to a Vermont State Senator. It has been blessed to have never have been driven in inclement weather and stored indoors during the winter months. As such, it has only racked up 73,068 original miles on its odometer. This is a very original and unmolested car. It still sports its original leather interior and carpeting. Best of all, it has an uncracked dash pad. It was treated to a very high quality paint refinish in its original Aztec red using Sikkens paint a few years ago by its third owners (a pair of physicians) who owned the car for 17 years and lovingly kept it garaged and out of the rain. The black convertible top was also replaced at that time and is close to new.

This car could be enjoyed the way it is, or upgraded with very little effort. I have located the original missing stainless trim for the bottom of the rear quarters. I just drove this car on a 300 mile trip at highway speeds with no problems. I am a fussy Dentist. Please call me with any questions or to discuss this wonderful automobile: Clark Goodwin - Home: (315) 637-1189     Cell: (315) 440-1417

New V6 engines are only the start at Cadillac

Fri, Mar 20 2015

Cadillac debuted its new family of V6 engines Friday, but that's not all General Motors' luxury brand has in store for the coming years. The six-cylinder powerplants will certainly help Cadillac in the near term, but they're just two of the many parts of the company's future strategy. GM has invested $12 billion in Cadillac to help the brand grow over the next five years, and the company will launch eight new products between now and 2020. That all starts with the launch of the CT6 flagship later this year – a fullsize luxury sedan we'll see for the first time in New York on March 31. The CT6 will introduce several new features and technologies to the Cadillac range, and with its launch also begins the slow restructuring of Cadillac's model-naming system. The new nomenclature means CT and XT badges for cars and utilities, respectively. Cadillac says that of the eight new vehicles it plans to launch by 2020, five of them will be first-time offerings in market segments where the brand currently does not play. But it's not just about new products – new powertrains are an important part of the Cadillac story, too. After the new V6 engines – a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter and a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter engine – launch later this year in the 2016 ATS, CTS and CT6, the company says it has a strategy for V8 power – possibly a twin-turbo application – as well as future electrification. Cadillac also says it's working on adding four- and six-cylinder diesel powertrains, though it's unclear which vehicles will make use of those engines. This new six-cylinder engine family is indeed important, with Cadillac's chief engineer, David Leone, calling it the "most advanced V6 in the industry." With 335 horsepower, the 3.6-liter engine is the highest output, naturally aspirated V6 powerplant Cadillac has done – and that's SAE-certified, and on regular fuel. Beyond that, the 3.0-liter mill (pictured at right) marks the first application of GM's active fuel management system on a twin-turbocharged engine. This means that when full power isn't necessary, the TTV6 can run as a 2.0-liter V4 in order to save fuel. New transmissions are also part of the V6 engine story. GM's all-new eight-speed Hydra-Matic 8L45 gearbox will be paired to the 3.6-liter V6, and the 3.0-liter TTV6 will use the company's existing 8L90 transmission that is already found in the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups (with the 6.2-liter engine).

Weekly Recap: New bosses try to jump-start Cadillac and Lincoln

Both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.

2013 Cadillac XTS [w/video]

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

The Cadillac Of Stopgaps
As confusing as most alphanumeric car names have gotten in recent years, at least one constant has been that the letter "X" is generally indicative of a crossover. Then why did General Motors use this letter on its new 2013 Cadillac XTS luxury sedan? Well, for that, we'll have to look to the world of mathematics where "X" stands for an unknown variable or a placeholder. Now we're talking. The XTS is just an interim product sitting at the top of Cadillac's four-door food chain until the brand gets a true flagship in place. That sounds like a lot of resources to spend on what will likely be a one-and-done model, but the automaker needed to get something - anything - to replace the DTS.
So here you have the 2013 XTS. A big luxury sedan that was created to bridge the gap between Cadillac's recent past and its pending future. Going into our week with this XTS knowing that it was a stopgap measure proved to be both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, we know (or hope) that this car will act as a baseline for future high-end Cadillac models, but at the same time, we couldn't help but be mindful of past stopgap models, albeit in more entry-level segments, like the Cimarron and Catera.
