Rare 1981 Eldorado Convertible up for auction with NO RESERVE

Fuel injected 368 V8, 94k original miles. True dependable Caddy 368, not the underpowered HT4100 engine found in the 82 and up models. The previous owner told me that all the 4-6-8 components were removed by Cadillac dealer when it was new, now it's a smooth running, dependable fuel injected 368. With the overdrive transmission the Caddy will get over 20 mpg on the highway. Digital dash, digital climate control, power top with automatic window lowering and raising with top operation. Original cadillac AM/FM stereo cassette (working), automatic ride leveling (also operational), tilting, tescoping wheel, automatic headlights and triple fender light indicators. C&C (Classic Cadillac) full size chrome grill with extra chrome section for nose of hood, very sharp looking.

Mechanically the Caddy has four new whitewall radials (less than 500 miles on them), fuel injection service (cleaning and replacement of a couple of injectors) recent brakes, tuneup, some new exhaust parts, oil change and belts and hoses. The digital dash is intermittent, will display properly then the numbers will flicker. The driver's power seat is intermittent as well, the switch needs cleaning or replacing. The top and windows work properly, all raise and lower at once. The engine compartment is remarkably clean. The engine turns over easily, the fuel injection allowing a simple turn of the key to start the car.

Cosmetically the Eldorado shows very well, repainted about ten years ago in a nice metallic teal shaded dark blue, close to the original color but with a modern metallic finish, it sparkles in the sun. All the bumper and fender fillers were replaced when the Caddy was painted. Some spots have been touched up in the last couple of years, only visible up close. The bumpers are in good shape, no dents or scratches, the chrome gleams. The seats had some tears in the leather so the previous owner had black heated seat cushions installed  over the pillow top sections, it's very nice for top down cruising on chilly summer nights. An upholstery shop did it; it's held on with strong adhesive and fasteners, it doesn't move when you get in and out of the car. The back seat has a standard  bench seat cover, black to match the front. The dash has two sun cracks in the center, they are almost symmetrical, only noticeable when you're in the car. The door panels and rear panels are nice, the only flaw being a small crack in the vinyl at the top of the driver's door panel where your arm rests when the window is down. The top was replaced in 2000, one area beginning to fray by the rear top driver's side corner. The top is nicely upholstered inside, nice and quiet on the highway when the top and windows are up. The Eldorado has a nice cushioned boot cover to snap on when the top is down. The original spoke hubcaps are in great shape, chrome shines, no dents or scrapes. 

These are all the pix I have right now, I'm away on business and I just found out I'm losing storage. These are the pix I submitted for Classic Insurance, just all four sides with the top up is what they require ($190 a year for full comprehensive). This is a ten day auction and I should be home in time to take a some full size pix of the Caddy all around. If not, you can check my feedback- I'm a classic car nut with a particular fondness for Caddies and buyers have been pretty happy with the cars I've sold. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Eldo is for sale locally and I'm open to buy it now offers as well. Cruises nicely on the highway, holds the road perfectly. Engine starts easily, doesn't leak anything, garage floor always dry when I pull her out. Runs very strong, tracks straight as an arrow and brakes evenly. She idles well, shifts smoothly, stops easily and the suspension is luxurious. Drives overall like a Caddy should. She's roadworthy, all directional/brake/turn signal/headlights work as well as the horn and wipers. The floors, trunk and frame are solid as the Caddy has been a Garage Queen.

Rare, classic Caddy convertible that will only appreciate in value. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230

Cadillac Oscars ad shows none of its cars or trucks

Wed, Feb 18 2015

Can you sell something without actually showing the product in an ad? While this sounds like a question that Don Draper might have, Cadillac apparently thinks it's possible with at least one of the brand's three upcoming Oscars commercial. Days after whiting-out the company's social media presence in preparation for the new campaign, some of the advertising is finally here. Titled Dare Greatly, the first released spot goes for a stripped down, minimalist aesthetic. The entire piece is made up of voiceover and ambient noise set over slow-motion driving shots of New York City. Viewers catch a few out-of-focus glances at a Cadillac interior, but otherwise the only vehicles in the commercial are the ones parked along the street. The speech that is the centerpiece of the ad is all about the glory in just making an attempt, rather than criticizing others. "There is no effort without error and shortcoming," it says at one point. According to The Detroit Free Press, the text comes from a lecture by Teddy Roosevelt in 1910 at the Sorbonne in Paris. Cadillac's commercial never actually attributes the words to the former president, but the company is playing up the connection on social media. The full 1:30 version of the spot is already streaming online, but Cadillac is cutting the commercial into 30-second and 60-second versions to air during the Oscars, according to The Detroit Free Press. Of the brand's two other ads during the awards show, at least one of them shows the company's vehicles.

GM laying off more than 4,000 workers Monday morning

Sat, Feb 2 2019

According to reports from Automotive News, The Detroit News, and CNN, General Motors plans to begin laying off more than 4,000 salaried workers starting Monday morning. In a statement to AN, a spokesperson for the automaker said, "We are not confirming timing. Our employees are our priority. We will communicate with them first." We've been expecting layoffs at General Motors since November, 2018. At the time, the Detroit-based automaker announced it would seek to shed 8,100 salaried employees, shut down five assembly plants in North America, and kill off several slow-selling models. One month earlier, GM offered buyout packages to 18,000 workers and said it would seek to cut its global workforce by 25 percent. A spokesperson said at the time the moves were "proactive steps to get ahead of the curve by accelerating our efforts to address overall business performance." The cost-cutting moves are expected to save GM up to $2.5 billion in 2019 and as much as $6 billion by 2020. David Kudla, CEO and chief investment strategist of Mainstay Capital Management, referred to the impending culling as "Black Monday" and told The Detroit News that the layoffs would begin around 7:30 a.m. and continue in waves throughout the coming days and weeks. GM plans to deliver on its fourth-quarter and full-year 2018 earnings report on Wednesday. President Donald Trump plans to deliver the annual State of the Union address a day earlier on Tuesday. We expect to hear plenty more from both sides over the next several days.
