I am the second owner of this saved 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe. The 1st owner after replacing a leaking windshield had it to leak again, so he bought a new car, built a 2"x12" lumber wooden crate and stored this 76 Eldorado in his heated RV Bldg. from 1968 until I bought it in 2012. The windshield has sealed itself over time. The yellow leather is soft and clean, and the headliner and sun visors are in very great shape without any holes in them. The carpet has some small stains that may come out with soap and water, but I haven't tried that yet. All the glass is nice. The yellow paint is drivable but needs repaint or touchup to be perfect. The padded top has some small cracks in the surface and some small rust stains at chrome lines. The chrome band that trims behind the back glass has popped a plastic connecter, so the trim has popped up and apart, but isn't broken. There is no broken trim anywhere. The trunk has a solid floor, the trunk lid has typical surface rust at the drip edge that you can see in trunk pictures. It needs to be sanded and repainted. A tree limb blew onto the once perfect body and as you can see in two pictures, it put two small dents in it, one the left fender and one in the hood. The plastic bumper filler on all four corners have cracked and I removed them thinking that I would get some new ones, they are remanufactured for replacement. The low mileage 500ci engine, after having the oil changed and using clean gasoline cranked up right away and ran good. I pulled the valve covers, cleaned the covers, cleaned the rocker arm assembles by taking them and the pushrods out and cleaning them thoroughly. The water pump was leaking, so I pulled the pump off and replaced it with a new one. I cleaned all the pulleys, braces, radiator, new hose, and painted the metal components
Cadillac blue before installing them. The nice nostalgic CB unit and gear are still mounted to left of the steering wheel. The lights and gauges all work including the interior lamps. The front grill is all complete without any damage The car starts, runs but can't be driven far, because the tires are old and 2 won't hold air for over a day. Needs new set of tires There is still a water leak under the engine area and I can't do the work anymore which is the reason for selling the car. I have developed a serious muscle and nerve disorder that won't let me get up and down or use my hands very well. I got a new Texas title in my name, got new Texas plates when I bought it. The catalytic convertor is good, but needs a new muffler. If I had stayed in good health, I would complete this beautiful 1976 model, but I would be pleased to get some of my investment back, good luck bidding if you also like this body style. I have shipped a car before with a hauler just 100 miles away and he is fair. I could get you in touch with his office if you need a hauler, and I will do what I can to answer other question, just send me a note through my listing on e-bay. call 325-201-4710 cell, Jerry located 100 miles west of Fort Worth near Abilene, Texas

UPDATE for those who asked about the rough edge on the front fenders, The metal fender is smooth, it is the left broken white rugged plastic insert that you see still there.

Cadillac's new ad campaign to tell you how to get lucky

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

Cadillac is set to launch a new ad campaign this fall, as it attempts to maintain the momentum established by new models like the ATS. The campaign comes from an agency called Rogue, and according to AdAge, will lean on American values. It's called, "Work Hard. Be Lucky."
The campaign is fairly self-explanatory, just from the tagline. It's meant to make a Cadillac seem more attainable to the average, aspirational buyer. It does kind of pander to that American idea that everyone's hard work gets rewarded, but as ad campaigns go, that's not a bad thing.
Somehow, it doesn't roll off the tongue quite like "The Standard of the World." As AdAge points out, Cadillac's advertising over the years has lacked a real coherent theme, although we'll admit to enjoying the most recent campaigns, particularly the around-the-world jaunts with the ATS. It's unclear if the "Work Hard. Be Lucky." theme will evolve into an actual tagline for the brand, with Caddy spokesman Dave Caldwell telling the advertising mag, "It could very easily end up being a line of copy along with other lines; we don't really know yet. It's an open question as to how dramatically it will be featured."

2023 Cadillac Lyriq vs Tesla Model Y, Audi E-Tron, Jaguar I-Pace | Specs compared

Wed, Apr 21 2021

The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq is the latest electric luxury crossover to enter a quickly growing segment. It brings with it the company's trademark creased design language along with high-tech features and an impressive amount of range. The Cadillac also happens to have a price and specifications that put it square in the middle of a competitive group, so we had to line up the numbers to see how it compares. We've gathered up a selection of premium electric crossovers including the Tesla Model Y, Audi E-Tron and Jaguar I-Pace, all of which seem like the closest rivals for the Cadillac. We've assembled all the raw numbers in the chart below. We've also got some additional analysis below that. And now, onto the data. Power, range, efficiency Interestingly, the Cadillac is the least powerful of the bunch. This is a bit surprising considering that GM will have a 1,000-horsepower electric Hummer pickup coming out soon. But in the Lyriq, Cadillac only uses a single electric motor powering the rear wheels. While its 340 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque should be more than adequate, it falls short of all the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive competition. Because Tesla does not provide horsepower or torque numbers, we're not sure how much the base model makes. We assume it's close. The true power fiends will likely want the optionally available Model Y Performance, though. It also doesn't have publicized power numbers, but its 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds suggests its substantially more powerful than the other crossovers, here. Power is all well and good, but range is arguably more important for an electric car. The Tesla is on top, here. The base Long Range trim has an estimated range of 326 miles. The company doesn't specifically say how large the battery is for it or the Performance, which goes 303 miles. The Cadillac is close behind with a current estimate of more than 300 miles on its 100-kWh battery. Cadillac doesn't say whether that number is the gross amount or the usable amount. The Audi and Jaguar lag behind with less than 250 miles from their 95- and 90-kWh batteries, respectively. Audi is the only company that notes that the usable capacity is less than the total, which is a common strategy employed to extend the life of the battery and to maintain consistent ranges over time. 2020 Audi E-Tron View 13 Photos While not as broadly discussed as range, we also wanted to touch on efficiency.

Cadillac: The standard of what?

Fri, Jul 28 2017

Cadillac's tagline "Standard of the World" goes back to 1908 when it won the Dewar Trophy. While you might think that the moniker and the trophy have something to do with a feat of racing and daring-do against a cadre of British, French, and German marques, it's nothing of the sort. Rather, Cadillac achieved the trophy because of interchangeable parts. The parts they were producing back then were so well-made that Henry Leland, who established Cadillac, was able to disassemble three Model Ks, mix up the parts, and then put together three functioning cars. This amazed the Brits who handed him the trophy, and the "Standard of the World" was born. During the past several months, Cadillac has been producing news releases that would seem as though the company is the Standard of the World: "Cadillac Global Sales Rise 44.2 percent in January ... 18 percent in February ... 22.1 percent in March. . .40.9 percent in April ... 33.8 percent in May ... 7.2 percent in June." Like the Dewar Trophy being about manufacturing not performance, things are not necessarily what they seem. That is, Cadillac's growth is predicated on performance in China, not in the US. Through June, its China sales are 80,357 vehicles for the first five months of 2017, versus 72,073 in the US. The China number is a 75.4-percent year-over-year increase while the US number is a 1.6-percent decrease. For the entire globe, Cadillac has sold 164,174 vehicles. Of them, 65,250 were the XT5. That was followed by the ATS, at 34,277 units. In the US, the XT5 is doing reasonably well, as it has moved 29,798 units during the first six months. The ATS, conversely, is doing not particularly well, as it is down 26.2 percent with sales at just 7,209 for the year so far. To put that into some sort of context, know that Cadillac has sold 7,370 copies of the generally derided XTS, which is down 24.7 percent. The CTS is down 36 percent at 5,059 units, and the only other car in the lineup (we'll pretend that the ELR doesn't exist anymore and it shortly won't), the CT6 sedan, is up 172.7 percent – but they have sold only 5,397 CT6s. While Caddy talks a good game about competing with the likes of the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes E-Class, know that those two sedans have been sold 17,036 and 20,783 times this year in the US respectively. So what is Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen to do? According to Reuters, it is to cull the lineup.
