1953 Cadillac Eldorado - *movie Car* - Body 529 on 2040-cars
Poolesville, Maryland, United States
|
1953 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible - Used in the movie My One and Only Almost as much of a star as its fellow cast, including Ren?e Zellweger and Logan Lerman, this vehicle played the family's get-away from a troubled life in New York in the 2009 movie My One and Only. Since filming, it has been starred in several magazines including Cadillac Self Starter and Old Cars Weekly.     Originally from California, the car was purchased in Hollywood by me as a 95% rust-free white car with a black interior. It is one of the last 1953 Eldorados produced.
Two 1953 Cadillac Eldorado Convertibles were used for the movie. This is 1 out of the 2 used to play the main car. Two were used in order to have back-ups, as there were many scenes where the cars were required to drive very fast. The other car is currently overseas. The shooting for the movie took place over the summer of 2008 in Baltimore, MD and New Mexico. This Eldorado was redone for the movie, but has not been cleaned thoroughly since filming. The movie company had actually sprayed the car with dirt for effects, and that dirt has not been cleaned off since. For some scenes, the car was not driven but rather pulled on a trailer with Ren?e driving and filmed that way. For this, the windshield was sometimes removed. It has since been put back in. Wire wheels will be supplied with this car. Full wheel covers were used in the movie due to the wire wheels making the car appear to be moving backwards on film. Modifications done to the car for the movie include:
It has been stored in Maryland since filming. Contact Marc at (301) 672-1000 for any inquiries. View my About Me page for more information. |

Cadillac reveals stretched ATS-L in China
Tue, 29 Jul 2014In the market for a new Cadillac, but need more space than an ATS can afford? Then you'll want to look at the larger CTS. Unless you live in China, where buyers - often chauffeured instead of driving themselves - seem to prefer a long-wheelbase version of a smaller sedan than upgrading to a larger one. For those buyers, Cadillac has released the new ATS-L.
Based on the existing ATS sports sedan, the ATS-L offers an extra 3.3 inches of rear legroom over the model we get here. As a result, the ATS-L stretches its wheelbase to 112.5 inches and its overall length to 186 inches, while riding a quarter-inch lower than the standard-wheelbase model, which itself was recently updated. That places its length in between the regular ATS and the CTS available Stateside.
Otherwise it's essentially the same sedan, but appears to ditch the base 2.0-liter four to offer either the 2.0-liter turbo four or 3.6-liter V6. Of course this model, produced locally for the Chinese market, isn't likely to make the transpacific voyage to US showrooms, so American buyers will still have to choose between the standard ATS, the larger CTS or the even larger XTS.
Cadillac developing stretched ATS-L just for China
Sat, 25 Jan 2014To luxury automakers, long-wheelbase sedans are to China that crossovers and SUVs are to the US, so it isn't all that surprising any more when the latest sedan gets an extra couple of inches between the wheels to improve rear-seat comfort. According to Car News China, the next sedan to get the stretch will be the Cadillac ATS, which will increase the wheelbase by 10 centimeters (about four inches) to become the ATS-L.
Designed to go up against rivals like the BMW 335Li and the added-length Mercedes C-Class, the ATS-L will reportedly be built locally in China with an engine list that will grow as well. Currently, only the 2.0-liter turbo engine is offered in the ATS in China, but the ATS-L will get the full spectrum of ATS engines including the base 2.5-liter and the peppier 3.6-liter V6. This isn't the first time Cadillac has offered a China-specific stretched sedan either as the SLS dates back to 2006.
2016 Cadillac ATS-V brandishes 450 horses and 6-speed manual
Tue, 11 Nov 2014Details about the hotly anticipated 2016 Cadillac ATS-V are tumbling out, and they look to be everything we could ask for in a high-performance Caddy coupe.
According to Road & Track, the ATS-V will use a version of the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 from the CTS Vsport, but the wick will be turned up to 450 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. In glorious news for driving enthusiasts everywhere, that potent mill will be available with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic.
According to R&T, the engine has a heap of high-performance tech to let it make the extra ponies, including titanium connecting rods, two water-to-air intercoolers, titanium turbines for the turbos and an additional radiator dedicated to cooling the gearbox and electronically locking differential. Keeping it all planted are a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, and a suspension with 50 percent more roll stiffness.
