1976 Eldorado Convertible Coupe. Power Top, Leather, Highly Optioned. 703 Miles* on 2040-cars
North Canton, Ohio, United States
1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible 2-Door (500 cid V8) LOW MILES
The last year of the factory built Eldorado Convertibles. These are collected and driven by lovers of the biggest and most powerful rag tops ever built. This one has been owned and pampered by the same family since brand new and adult driven a little over 700 miles on special occasions and parades only. She was started and warmed on a regular basis to keep the fluids flowing. Just take a peak at the pictures to see how outstanding she is.
Equipped including
Paint The painted metal surfaces look like that of a car that is just a few months old. The family explained that other then the new bumper fillers, it has never had any paint work since they bought it new. All very smooth and shiny original paint. The fillers have a very similar finish but just like when these cars were brand new, they don’t match perfectly in every light condition or angle. I did not see any other chips or nicks on the surface which is the result of only 700 miles. Body The body is about as close to like new as you could probably imagine. Original and very straight and correct to the point of how they were built brand new with the exception of a slight little factory deviation in the hood that can only be seen under fluorescent lights. Being extremely critical, there also is a slight dimple in the top edge of the left quarter (see pics).
Bright Work All of the bright work appears to be in place and fastened properly. The stainless surrounding the window areas as well as the balance of the chrome and stainless looks free of any aging, wear or damage. The only exceptions being a slight light pitting on the very top of the front & rear bumpers and door handles (see pics). Glass Overall, the glass is as close to new as imaginable and without the usual vertical light scratching that power windows often develop. All glass being very clear, no delaminating, discoloring, cracks, or wiper marks as the car has just not been used that much.
Top The Vinyl top is only a few months old. It was replaced as an edge was gnawed on by something (1” approx) extremely bright white and new material in and out. (See interior top pics). Interior With its having very little exposure, it remains about as close to new as imaginable. When sitting in the drivers seat and admiring the dash and steering wheel, it’s like a trip back in time. Other then a little cleaning on the doors arm rests where they are touched, a slight seat spot, a glove box paint flake, and the foam maybe breaking down in the visors, it’s like taking a trip back to the Cadillac showroom in 1976 during the Bicentenial.
Trunk Thought it’s also had very little use like the rest of the car, the black flooring has been slightly damaged by what I guess to be a rodent (mouse?) ( easily replaced ) We have the original inflatable spare, canister, and jack in place. Tires Tires, wheels, caps are all original per the family LR78-15. 10 to 11/32" remaining on all tires depths.
Engine The engine compartment inspection doesn’t not show any obvious changes except the battery has been replaced. A slight belt dust and a concern did find an alternator replacement necessary Chassis You can see some factory markings and some metal with a bright shine yet. Others not painted very well upon assemble. Just as you would expect a 700 mile car with normal surface rust from a typical garage storage situation. May have received a typical dealer light undercoat or factory coverage.
Test Drive Chad has started the car cold, warm, let idle, and drove it several miles around the neighborhood. The engine seems to start and run well as designed. With no plates he couldn’t drive it out on the main road. Trans seems to shift up and down properly. Chad was able to drive up to around 40-45 mph in the neighborhood. Steering was nice and smooth and works as designed. Upon braking, do not notice pulsation or pulling in brakes. A light air noise was heard in the rear but I’m not sure what it is. Tires seem slightly out of round and give slight vibration in steering wheel. This may or may not straighten itself out with a few more miles and getting tires warm. The owner explained that she had received the car new as an anniversary gift. Her son added that an in house mechanic looked over the car at least yearly and performed service. T his included oil changes and needed fluids most every year. They also made it a point to at least start and warm the engine sometime within every 3-4 months.
Chad tested the following (nothing noted as not operating) [ PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING ]

Auto Connection is not responsible for any misrepresentation by the seller and/or errors in research results, including history statements of vehicle history, repairs, etc. This vehicle is being sold AS IS and without a warranty, unless otherwise stated. Information about serial numbers, engine numbers, and any other codes does not guarantee a vehicle’s authenticity. These codes and numbers are not guaranteed to be the same as the information on the vehicle ID or vin, trim tag, engine block, cylinder heads, transmission, differential, or other components within this vehicle. Auto Connection does not guarantee documentation, authenticity, repairs, mechanical work, titles, odometer discrepancies, matching numbers, stamped engines, casting numbers, or any other codes, tags, or numbers. The potential for reproduction paper documentation exists, as well as restamped engines and reproduced trim/data tags. Auto Connection has described this vehicle to the best of their knowledge, but does not guarantee the accuracy of the description. Prospective buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence, including a physical inspection of the vehicle in person, or through a qualified third party inspector/appraiser. We welcome inspections and even have an 8 page professional vehicle inspection form you or your appraiser can use. The vehicle will remain for sale until a buyer has placed a deposit on it. This deposit is nonrefundable with the exception of the vehicle being severely misrepresented by Auto Connection or the seller, or stipulated in the Bill of Sale. It is possible that this vehicle will be sold at a higher price than the highest bid (before or after the auction ends), if the reserve is not met. After the sale (if reserve is met or not), Auto Connection must receive at least a 10% deposit (wire transfer or official bank or cashier’s check) within 3 days of the end of the auction (or the Bill of Sale is signed). The high bidder/buyer has 10 days from this time to send the balance in full or final payment and inspect the vehicle (or have a 3rd party professional inspection). For the most part, the vehicle for sale is not “perfect”. It is unreasonable to assume that every single flaw in the paint, body, engine, etc. or any minor mechanical items (such as a light not working) be considered a reason to refuse the vehicle. Major rust/rot, undisclosed problems with the frame, etc. might constitute a legitimate reason for the buyer to refuse to follow through with the sale. In that situation, Auto Connection would negotiate with the seller and buyer to try to reach an agreeable solution. The buyer acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to inspect the vehicle to verify it is as listed and represented. He accepts the vehicle with all advertised equipment, options and accessories in "AS IS" condition with any faults or defects. The buyer will bear all future costs of repairs or correcting any defects that exist or may occur in the future. The seller will have no responsibility or liability for any consequential damages or injury caused by any failure or malfunction of the vehicle or any components. This car is being offered for sale by owner.

Watch Brad Pitt's Chinese Cadillac XTS commercial
Thu, 14 Mar 2013Once upon a time, in a land not so far from this one, Brad Pitt was the very face anti-consumerism. You see, when he slipped into the role of the elitist-loathing, food-abusing, violence-embracing Tyler Durden from Fight Club, his visage was inextricably married to images of leveling credit card corporations with nothing more than a little human fat and some determination. Of course, that was before Pitt settled into old age with a passel of children at his feet. Now, it seems, he'll shill for something as long as it doesn't damage his reputation in America.
Need proof? Look no further than this Chinese ad for the Cadillac XTS. In it, Pitt contentedly wafts the big front-wheel drive barge around San Francisco against a mildly euphoric soundtrack. You can check out the scene for yourself below, just make sure you have your last meal squarely situated in your stomach before pressing play. We have to wonder if Pitt wakes up in the middle of the night with Chuck Palahniuk's oddly omniscient words echoing in his ears: "Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you."

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.
