Small scuff about 1" long on top of rear quarter panel. Interior is completely original, and has some small tears and some wear to it, as can be seen by the photos. There are a couple of cracks on the arm rests on the front inside door panels, however can be replaced inexpensively."

The 1972 Cadillac Eldorado is considered by some enthusiasts as the most desirable of the 1970's line of Eldorado convertibles due to it's low production of only 6,800 models in 1972 (compared to 14,000 in the last year of 1976) and obviously due to being ridiculously fast for a car of it's size and weight with the high 365 horsepower 500 c.i. 8.2L V8 engine (only produced in the 1971-72 models and drastically reduced to only 235HP in 1973; 210HP in 1974 and 190HP in 1975-76!).

Original 91K miles! Always garaged kept since new considering it's completely rust free body with no sun or element damage whatsoever! The car has it's original factory color paint 'Patrician Covert Firemist' color paint (Code 94) with its lovely matching and original 'Dark Jade' color Sierra Grain Leather interior and with a brand new matching original beige color soft top with a plexiglass rear window. The car looks extremely striking with virtually no noticeable imperfections. The car has a brand new professionally fitted beige power soft top and headliner. The 'Dark Jade' color leather interior seats do have some age cracks in them as this was my Grandfathers vehicle, and he did not want to do a thing to it. The car has its original matching color carpeting and dashboard which are also in gorgeous all original shape with no wear or discoloration in the carpet and no cracks or blemishes in the dash! The vehicle comes with two Parade covers that will cover the convertible top when down, one is light beige same as the top, and the other is Sierra which is the same color as the interior.

All the car's options are working including all the power windows, the power soft top, lighters, cruise control. The original engine with 92K original miles is extremely strong and powerful and this particular car drives absolutely magnificently - must be driven to be appreciated and seen to be believed - drives straight as an arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles! 

The car has a recent new fuel pump, air cleaner, spark plugs, electronic ignition, front rotors, and pads, and calipers vacuum advance unit, passenger door lock actuator, right and left brake hoses, P/S high pressure hose, new Holly 750 carburetor, front wheel bearings and left & right outer CV boot, new upper and lower ball joints, new P235/75R15 tires, battery, shocks, (Stock Radio is in the dash, works, just needs a fuse, as my cousin installed a new radio in the glove box, 500 watt amp, with JDM speakers mounted in the trunk with speakers.

This is a rare opportunity to own an unabused example of an obviously always garaged kept desirable 1972 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible in this highly striking color combination with only some 92K original miles and no signs of any rust or accidents. This must therefore be considered a very rare example of this most desirable 1972 year of production of this decades last mass produced drop-top and a great investment that's sure to appreciate over the years for any American classic car collector of obviously any Cadillac enthusiast! 

Note I took close up photos of the rocker panels as to show that there is absolutely no rust on this vehicle. This is the ultimate head turner. The car still has all of the original factory tags still under the hood, door jams, and on the frame.

You are not going to find a cleaner, better runner, three owner 1972 drop top then this one right here.

C7 Corvette won't spawn new Cadillac XLR [w/video]

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Between the new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray and the even newer Cadillac Elmiraj Concept shown off at Pebble Beach, we were already expecting some sort of chatter of a Cadillac XLR redux. During an in-depth C7 Corvette discussion with Tadge Juechter, the car's chief engineer, Fox News asked if a Corvette-based, Bowling Green-built Cadillac will be built off the C7. Non-spoiler alert: the answer is no.
Juechter says that General Motors has "no intent" on transforming this car into a Cadillac product since the C7 has been optimized for the Corvette buyer, a consumer that's generally a different sort of person than a Cadillac intender who might also be cross-shopping a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class or BMW 6 Series.
While we're not ready to write off a future XLR altogether, we assume that the Corvette Cadillac experiment is most likely never going to happen again. The interview with Juechter is posted below, but the XLR discussion comes in at the 9:00 mark.

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.

2014 Cadillac CTS debuts new design, twin-turbo power, Vsport model [w/video]

Tue, 26 Mar 2013


If ever there were a Cadillac to truly rival the world's best, this could be it.
With every new model, Cadillac indeed gets closer and closer to actually performing at the top of its class, rivaling those crafty Germans at their own sport/luxury sedan game. The best example yet of Cadillac's efforts to challenge the world came last year, when we met the 2013 ATS - a vehicle that we praised for its on-road dynamics and interior refinement, and later went on to be named North American Car of the Year.
