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

I am the second owner of this saved 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe. 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.

2014 Cadillac ELR
Mon, 29 Sep 2014Well, this is awkward.
A few years ago, Audi Of America's boss Johan de Nysschen went on record describing the Chevrolet Volt as "a car for idiots." Fast-forward to earlier this summer, and the well-regarded executive suddenly found himself in a new office with new business cards bearing the title: President, Cadillac. That means that among other challenges, de Nysschen is now tasked with selling the ELR, a car that is, at its core, a Volt in a sportier, less utile frock wearing a price tag that's twice as expensive.
Frankly, it's not a prospect we imagine the South African executive and recent Infiniti boss relishes. Just about nobody is buying the ELR - Cadillac has sold but 774 examples of its plug-in hybrid coupe this year and it presently has an almost a 200-day supply according to Automotive News. What's more, those numbers actually represent big improvements over just a few months ago, before GM started heaping on the incentives. The cynic in us says that the bad news for De Nysschen is that he's got a borderline sales-proof car in his new corporate garage. The good news? Cadillac customers apparently aren't idiots.
The new presidential limo is almost ready and way bigger than a Suburban
Thu, Feb 23 2017If you're familiar with the current presidential limo, which is nicknamed The Beast, you know it's based on a medium-duty truck platform. This new one, shown in aerial spy photos, appears to be just as huge. The vehicles flanking it in these shots are Chevrolet Suburbans, basically the largest passenger vehicle you can buy. And while the limo looks car-shaped, it's very tall and much longer than the three-row SUV. You might say it's yuge. Like its predecessor, The Beast 2.0 is being developed in secret because all of its various systems and defenses are matters of national security. We are fairly confident that it has lots of armor protection, glass that's about five inches thick, and special systems to clean the air in the event of a biological warfare attack. The current Beast is also said to carry a pint or two of the President's blood type just in case something does happen. When the President is being transported in a motorcade, he is at his most vulnerable, so Cadillac One and the vehicles that surround it have to be prepared for almost anything. In fact, two identical presidential limos travel together to make it harder for would-be attackers to do bad stuff. The Suburban escort it's getting here at the GM proving grounds is appropriate, since most of the vehicles used by the Secret Service to accompany the President's motorcade are big GM SUVs. By the looks of this camouflaged prototype, GM is nearing completion of testing the new Presidential car. The styling is a mix of CT6 sedan and Escalade, with a little XTS thrown in, and it looks a lot more sleek by comparison than the current blocky Beast. When it's ready, President Donald Trump will be the first to ride in it on official business and the current beasts will probably be retired and end up in a museum.

Cadillac is bringing a new concept to Pebble Beach
Mon, Aug 15 2016Cadillac will debut a new concept Thursday in Monterey. The company also released teaser video, but it only shows us a few glimpses of interior parts and a concept drawing that seems to show a very minimalistic dashboard. The big draw appears to be the large screen filling in for instruments and infotainment. According to Cadillac, the screens are curved OLED panels co-developed with LG, and the technology behind them will appear in a future Cadillac. Bringing a new concept to the famous Monterey Car Week is a return to form for Cadillac. In past years the company brought beautiful concepts like the full-size, four-door Ciel convertible, and the taught, athletic Elmiraj coupe. The latter of these showcased designed cues that trickled into production Cadillacs. No word (or pictures) on the exterior yet. We'll be sure to have complete coverage of the concept later this week.
