1972 Cadillac Eldorado Base Hardtop 2-door 8.2l on 2040-cars
La Mesa, California, United States

This vehicle is a head turner, I named it Apollo 17 since it looks like the Saturn V rocket used on Apollo 17, and 72 was the last Apollo flight, rare to see a hardtop black on white, these are the original colors. I bought this car from an older couple who put 78,000 miles on it (it now has 80k original). After many enjoyable weekends of TLC, I replaced the the vinyl top, fresh upholstery to the seats, installed noise and heat dampening inside the whole floor board (that 500 rumbles pretty loud), then installed fresh carpet, new 3 core aluminum radiator, new shocks and CV boots, changed the points to an electric module, new AC compressor (blows cold). Runs excellent, transmission is smooth, floats on the freeway. It sits on 18" with about 80% on the Goodyears, the original tires and hubcaps come with the car if you like it original. Changed out the speakers to Bose on the front dash and rear. I absolutely love this car, it is a classic piece of Americana I wish I could keep it, but we just had twin boys. I only have one of the side wheel skirts, I like it better with them off. Car still has the automatic leveling compressor, but it wasn't working so I went with KYB shocks front and rear. Paint is about a 7-8 out of 10, it looks amazing, shines and has the original pin striping. This car is about 95% complete. The passenger door needs to have the door pull fixed, the driver door lock doesn't engage with the key, but the power lock does. It has a few minor details (crack in the winshield $250.00), but the heavy labor has been done. I've put over $3200 into this car, with my touches, but its ready for yours. It really is an eye catcher, you'll get so many compliments from all kinds of folks, prepare to do a lot of stop and chats. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6 AWD
Wed, 27 Feb 2013All-Wheel, All Right
There is no escaping the luxury all-wheel drive empire Audi has built for itself over the past 15 years. While nearly every high-end marque has at least one offering with power at all four corners, the hardware can't help but play second fiddle to Ingolstadt's Quattro kingdom. Leather-lined all-wheel drive is simply Audi the way minimum wage is an English degree. But General Motors seems hell-bent on raiding as many established fiefdoms as possible with the 2013 Cadillac ATS. Engineers and designers made no secret of the fact that the baby Cadillac was penned specifically to take on the BMW 3 Series, but Audi should be no less concerned about the newest luxury prince from Detroit.
GM has been stuffing all-wheel drive systems under their vehicles for years, but the effort hasn't come without nasty side effects. Unfortunate understeer, extra ride height, smallish wheels and porky curb weight meant opting for all-wheel drive was like signing your driving pleasure's death warrant. Would you like polished brass or brushed nickel hardware for your right foot's coffin, sir?
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
Cadillac shows 2015 Escalade interior
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Following the reveal of the new GMC Yukon, Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, the next in line is Cadillac, which is set to unveil the new Escalade on October 7 in New York. And in the lead-up to the reveal, the company has released this third teaser image, giving us a good glimpse of the 'Slade's interior.
Or part of the interior, we should say, because while the image above clearly shows the new dashboard and center console, as well as parts of the front seats and interior door panels, the Escalade is most certainly not a two-seat coupe. The outgoing Escalade can accommodate up to eight in either standard or ESV form (but not in EXT pickup configuration), and the new model promises to deliver the same, and we're curious to see what Cadillac has in store for the rear passenger compartment.
Compared to its more accessible counterparts, the new Escalade clearly offers a more upscale environment than even the uplevel Yukon Denali, with softer-looking leather, richer wood veneer and a waterfall center infotainment console that's different from the more modular design in the Chevy and GMC. The steering wheel is also unique and the instrument cluster appears to meld more smoothly across the dashboard, but the door mirrors, wide center armrest, column shifter and A-pillar grab handle all look like they were carried over from the Escalade's platform mates.
