1955 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible


This 1955 Eldorado has just been purchased by me. It has had the same owner for the last 18 years. This car is what I would call a very solid, pristine driver. It was purchased new in Arlington, Virginia. It spent some time in Colorado , North Carolina, Ohio and Florida, and has always been garage-kept. I've driven this car a little bit, and while the auction is going, I am making several improvements that are cosmetic. I have extensive history and paperwork on the car, and have added a correct 1955 Eldorado only hard boot. I am color matching the boot  to the car. When I purchased this car, the last owner had a Hartz cloth snap-on boot cover, so the pinch well trim does have snaps on it, but if you have the boot on it you won't see them. Just would like to clarify that what you're buying is a real, real nice pristine driver. It's not a car that's going to win a Hershey 1st place award, but it could if you wanted to do some minor upgrades down the road. For now, it makes a pristine driver to drive and enjoy . I can personally deliver this to your door, and help with any type of international shipping to the port, and possibly store the car for you until Hershey Car Show 2014 is over. If not sold it will be for sale at Hershey 2014 Fall Meet in the Car Corral.
Here are some upgrades that I am doing while the auction is going:
  • Painting hard boot to match
  • All new lenses for the brake light, reverse light, fog lights, and fin reflectors.
  • Gold plating script and V on trunk and hood
  • Upgrading the trim on the doors and the front fender, polishing the rear wheel opening trims
  • Replacing and chroming belt line side fender trim (right and left)
  • Replacing and professionally polishing right and left door trim stainless for the belt line
  • Bleaching the convertible top to get it bright white
  • Touching up minor paint chips
  • Slightly detailing the under carriage
  • Painting the air cleaner correct gold, as well as the valve covers, I have the PODS
  • Adding correct air cleaner hardware/bolts
  • Buying a new reproduction driver's side mirror
  • Buying a new rear view mirror
Here's some key points on the car:
  • Excellent chrome
  • Convertible top is in working order
  • No rips or tears in the top
  • Nice back window for a convertible top
  • Tires have about 1000 miles on them
  • Excellent undercarriage, but not detailed
  • Bottom of front seat was replaced in leather and matches pretty well
  • Correct air cleaner for dual quad carburetor
  • Nice glass
  • Has Daytona weave carpets
  • Original radio included (note that right now there is an unoriginal AM/FM radio in it)
  • Has glass packed mufflers and they sound great
  • Recent brake work  and wheels cylinders
  • You can drive it anywhere
  • Carbs were rebuilt by Daytona
  • Paperwork as far as  the 80's from the second owner, TONS OF IT !!
  • Originally am Arlington Green code #34  with Biege leather code #95
  • Build sheet goes with the car
  • Recent repair of new distributor, new master cylinder
  • Paperwork shows first owner had the car up until 1967
If this car does not sell, it will be at the Hershey Car Corral for sale in October 2014.
I do have a Cadillac scrap yard with parts ranging from the 50s to 60s. If you have any requests please contact me.
Please call 301 672 1000 with any questions.

Watch Brad Pitt's Chinese Cadillac XTS commercial

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Once 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."

2015 Cadillac Escalade on sale in April priced at $71,695*

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

With the fourth-generation Cadillac Escalade set to go on sale in April, Cadillac has released the pricing data for its fullsize luxury SUV. While there's no retail configurator yet, the data posted on AOL Autos - and confirmed by Cadillac - shows that the 2015 Escalade will have a starting price of $71,695 (*not including $995 for destination).
This new starting price is about $8,000 more than the outgoing model, but Cadillac is quick to point out that the latest 'Slade is packed with more standard equipment in the new base Standard trim that actually puts it more on par with the midlevel Premium trim on the 2014 model (currently priced at $73,245). These new standard features include Magnetic Ride Control, LED headlights and taillights and 20-inch wheels.
Stepping up to the 2015 Escalade Luxury, the price increases to $75,695 and includes added equipment like 22-inch wheels, head-up display, power fold-and-tumble second-row seats and safety systems such as forward collision warning and lane departure warning. The top-rung 2015 Escalade Premium will start at $80,195 adding features such as a rear-seat entertainment system, illuminated exterior door handles and the Driver Assist Package consisting of front and rear automatic braking and adaptive cruise control.

2015 Cadillac Escalade configurator lets you bling it your way

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

It's Friday, so there must be a new configurator to play with. While last week we showed you how to build your own McLaren 650S, today's ride is a bit more common. It's the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, a vehicle that you've been able to colorize since the end of last year, and which is sure to be an increasingly common sight on US roads in the coming months.
For those that have played with the build-your-Caddy tool, there's not much new here, aside from the vehicle being configured. The Escalade is available in three trims and two wheelbases, with prices spanning from the SWB, two-wheel-drive Standard, which starts at $72,690, on to the all-wheel-drive, long-wheelbase ESV Premium, which kicks off at $86,790. The options list, meanwhile, isn't hugely extensive. A rear-seat entertainment system and power-retractable side-steps (only available on the Premium trim) are the two notable options, while customers will have their choice of six exterior paints and two to three interior schemes, depending on the trim level.
Hop on over to Cadillac's consumer page and take a look.
