1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz,  Beautiful low mile example of the Last of the Full size (larger than Life Eldos.). Very desirable color combination of white, with white pillow interior and red accents. I purchased this car indirectly from the original owner, I am the second registered owner.  The car came from Maryland.  It has obviously been garaged and cared for all its life with only 22,000 + miles on it.   Due probably to lack of use just before it was sold to me it is obvious that someone went through the cooling system and fuel system completely and professionally reconditioning or replacing the radiator,  heater core, restored carburetor, sealed and cleaned fuel tank, radiator Hoses, fuel hoses, etc. Anything that should be considered before driving it trouble free to NJ from Maryland. Also has like new wide white radial tires. I have used the car for local car shows and ice cream stand runs very limited for the time I have owned it. I changed the oil and filters, added ZDP , I  serviced the transmission oil and filter. I purchased the car to take place of other collector cars I own because I wanted something stately and user friendly, and safe for my kid to be in.  Due to limited space and some changes in life I would like to try to Pass The Torch, and sell for what I have invested in it.  This is a true car of integrity, It runs like a Swiss watch, Rides like a living room couch. And it  glows like it is plugged into the wall. Climate control. power seats, brakes, windows, Trunk, Automatic headlight dimmer, split power front seats, Leather pillow interior, cruise control, 4 wheel disc brakes, 4 way stereo with working 8-track tape player. Factory cadillac CB radio. Rear window defog,  Etc.  Has original space saver spare and jack, trunk floor mat. original cadillac floor mats. original owners manual. The condition of the car speaks for itself as far as being an honest cared for low mile car in that the interior is like new, the chrome is beautiful, All the pot metal is perfect with no pitting. Even the insides of the ash trays and cigar lighters are immaculate. The condition of the underside is such that many of the factory markings and tags from the assembly line are in place, the exhaust system is clean and complete with catalytic converter, muffler and resonator.
    To answer a few things about the car that knowledgable caddy people are likely to ask,,,  The front and rear filler extensions on this car have been replaced with reproduction ABS fillers. The air ride hight sensor was not working so I removed it along with the original rear shocks and installed a set of Monroe air shocks with a manual air valve under the rear bumper. I bagged and tagged the old parts to be kept with the car.    Although all components are in place, the air conditioner   Does Not Work  , I never bothered to try servicing it because I do not use the car enough. It does appear to have the newer freon connectors as opposed to the old R-12. 
    Important notes,,,,,  My description is honest,  Yet please understand that the car is being sold as is usually the case with No Warranties, it is an old car that is to be accepted as-is. I would also appreciate a hand to hand transaction and have you or someone look the car over.  However,,  I will not take the car to some garage and have it poked and probed. Also I have no problem with over seas buyers, but I cannot in these days and times give out personal info or fill out forms for import reasons.  So if anyone over seas is interested in the car please know the ropes,, Have someone here who can see and purchase for you. This only the second time this car has been available for purchase since it was bought new. ( I have the original owners name), It will not be one of those forever Ebay listings, If the car shows no series interest I am going to put it on Jack stands in the garage and forget that I own it for ten years.  I reserve the right to remove the listing at any time. Payment of $400. deposit within 24 hours of sale  , remainder to be paid bank transfer, certified check, payment in person is preferred. buyer responsible for any and all shipping expenses .  Thanks for looking.

2014 Cadillac CTS

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

Fixated By Europeans, GM Ensures The Third Time Is A Charm
Few things are better for consumers than competition raising the bar. And no campaign seems fiercer than the one currently underway in the midsize sport-sedan segment now that Cadillac has introduced its all-new 2014 CTS to go head-to-head against the benchmark Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
While the CTS has been on the market for slightly more than a decade, up until this third-generation, Cadillac hasn't truly had the proper high-performance rear-wheel-drive architecture to build a genuine world-class fighter, both inside and out. And now that the American automaker has successfully mirrored Audi, BMW and Mercedes in overall vehicle size, engine output and cabin appointments, the first shots have been fired.

2015 Cadillac Escalade

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

Cadillac has been an interesting story in the auto industry over the past several years. Its comeback bid may be well over a decade old, but it's only recently that the Wreath and Crest has transformed from the auto industry's retirement home into its hot new thing. Today's Cadillac is a powerful marque working to instill passionate design, sound driving dynamics and cutting-edge technology into each model it builds, with vehicles like the ATS and redesigned CTS leading the charge.
Now, its latest model has arrived. This fourth-generation Escalade is among the most important new Cadillacs since the division's renaissance kicked into high gear. It's the brand's de facto flagship, and the first vehicle many young people think of when hearing the name "Cadillac." In the past, the Escalade was the chosen vehicle of the rich, flashy and famous. It's suffered over the past few years, though, particularly as new and more luxurious competitors have come to the fore.
With this latest redesign, General Motors is aiming to retake the spotlight as purveyors of the market's premier luxury SUV. To find out if it's been successful, I ventured down to the South Carolina Lowcountry to test the all-new 2015 Escalade.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward'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.
