1968 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe
In 1967 Cadillac transformed the Eldorado into a
whole new “Personal Luxury” automobile. The all new Eldorado Coupe shared the
Oldsmobile Toronado’s United Power Plant Package and front wheel drive set up.
The redesigned Eldorado was a very crisp and distinct model that gave the brand
a very modern and competitive edge in the luxury marketplace. The Eldorado was
an instant success and for model year 1968 disc brakes became standard along
with new safety features and by 1968.
I am pleased to offer this very rare and desirable
1968 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe presented in lovely Monterey Green Firemist
Metallic over White leather and black interior. This Eldorado has had a repaint
in its original Monterey Green Firemist some time ago and still looks very nice
retaining an excellent shine. The original leather interior is great with absolutely
no tears or fading. The driver door arm rest does show some cracking and wear. The
original black carpets are still intact along with the cars original dashboard
and vinyl headliner. The car still retains its original Cadillac wheels,
steering wheel, radio, and all of its original interior and exterior trim. This
Eldorado starts right up and runs very well, it idles very nicely and the
transmission shifts smoothly without any issues. The brakes feel great, the
suspension feels nice and is free from any rattles or squeaks. The chrome on
the exterior looks nice but does show a little pitting on the lower and a
couple bubble spots on the lower area. The body is very straight and accident
and dent free. There are a couple spots that are bubbling under the paint, one
on the lower left hood and a couple small spots in the trunk area. The
headlights are powered by vacuum assist and work well, all of the lights work.
All of the exterior lights are working, the reverse lights, side marker lights
and headlights are all working. Interior lights work, the power windows are in
working order and even the power seats are in working order. Original spare
tire in in truck. This Cadillac is a very nice original low-mile car that had become
increasingly hard to find over the past few years. If you are looking for a
very nice, well maintained and rare original early Eldorado Coupe this is it, an
extremely handsome and nice example. On 22-Jan-14 at 09:15:12 EST, seller added the following information: The mileage is actually 103,300 |

2014 Cadillac CTS images leak from somewhere
Sun, 24 Mar 2013The redesigned 2014 Cadillac CTS will be unveiled this Tuesday on the eve of the New York Auto Show, but as often happens, some images of the car have leaked onto the web a few days early. Previously, the only information we had on the 2014 CTS concerned the all-new twin-turbo V6 engine that will be found underhood, rated at 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
While none show the new car in its entirety, the images do show much of the front end, particularly the headlights that feature vertical bars of LEDs that start down low as foglights and continue up to the top of the front fenders. They're similar to the lighting design first shown on the XTS and ATS, except the lower portions are much taller.
There are also views of the rear end and one of the taillights, as well as an interior shot of the front passenger door. The latter image has us most intrigued, as it shows some very high end materials being used in the new CTS interior. The low-gloss wood trim, in particular, looks very premium.
Cadillac prepares to top its own 'Ring record with upcoming new CTS-V
Mon, 14 Jul 2014It was a big deal back in 2008 when the original Cadillac CTS-V clocked a lap time of 7:59 at the Nürburgring, making it the fastest sedan ever to lap the Nordschleife to that date. Not many four-doors have bested that time since - the list consisting pretty much only of the Porsche Panamera Turbo - but now hot hatches are lapping faster than that, so you can bet that the new one will manage an even better time.
Now we've spotted the upcoming new CTS-based performance sedan several times before undergoing testing in locations around the world, but this is the first time we've seen it at the Nürburgring, apparently using the Goodyear Dunlop test facility as its base of operations (and still wearing Michigan manufacturer plates, incidentally). Considering how well the outgoing CTS-V performed and how much further you can bet Cadillac will push the envelop this time around, a new sedan lap record is almost a certainty - and we can only hope for an all-out war between Europe's performance sedan power houses to ensue.
Cadillac expects major growth in China
Thu, 25 Sep 2014The US sales issues facing Cadillac are not being paralleled in the People's Republic of China, as a new report from Automotive News indicates the US luxury maker should see its sales increase by as much as 40 percent.
The report cites Cadillac's own forecasts, which put its 2014 sales in the PRC at 70,000 units after cresting 45,000 vehicles at the end of August. Provided the sales pace holds true through 2015, the brand would hit its new 100,000-unit sales goal, AN reports.
"We're very optimistic about the luxury market, we believe that the luxury market by 2016 here will become the largest luxury market in the world, surpassing even the size of luxury in Europe," GM China President Matthew Tsien told AN. "With [Cadillac president] Johan [de Nysschen], we have somebody that really is an executive that understands luxury, but he also is very, very keen on understanding what do we need here in China for Cadillac to be successful."
