BELOW THE AVERAGE QUALITY VALUE.There is also an interesting back story to this car. This historical account has been passed from the second
owner, has been consistent over the years, and has remained with the car today. Fans know that Elvis Presley loved
Cadillacs, and he really loved flashy Cadillacs. He also made sure they were modified to his taste. Everyone has
heard the true story of Elvis and June Juanico flying to a Houston, TX. Cadillac dealer June 12, 1956, and buying
a white 1956 Eldorado Biarritz convertible with black interior. He immediately turned it over to his customizer,
Jimmy Sanders, of Memphis. He squashed a handful of grapes on the fender and told Jimmy that was the color he
wanted. Hence, his purple convertible came to be. He also changed the interior to white roll and pleated leather.
The coupe in this ad, according to verbal history, was purchased and given by Presley to his manager, Colonel Tom
Parker. The car was an unimpressive green and white with green and white interior. Presley bought the car, then
stipulated that it be repainted red and white and a red and white interior installed. Later, Elvis also gave Parker
a 1975 Blue Cadillac Seville, that displayed the TN. license plate “ADMIRAL”. Clean southern body. Paint is good driver quality, some older and some newer blend work on the quarters. Mandan red
and alpine white two tone. Dual rear antennas. EZ Eye safety glass is in good condition. White sidewall tires and
Eldorado saber spoked wheel covers. Chrome and stainless is in good condition. Tasteful pin striping on hood and
deck lid. Fit and gapping is all good.
Red and white leather interior. Seats and cushions in good condition. Door panels in good condition. Interior
chrome trim is in good condition. Would clean up more with a little work. Original steering wheel is in good
condition, with a few cracks. Power windows. Air conditioning. Signal seeking radio. Autronic Eye headlamp dimmer.
Aftermarket tachometer mounted on the eye. Overall nice interior, comfortable, good looking, and well appointed.
365 Cu. In. Cadillac engine. Engine and engine bay are primarily in stock configuration. The exceptions- the Carter
WCFB carburetor has been replaced with an Edelbrock Competition Series four barrel. The bat wing air cleaner has
been replaced with a chrome pie pan type. Upgraded to electronic ignition. Dual exhaust. Hydra-Matic automatic
transmission.
Trunk area is clean and solid as a rock. Undercarriage is not detailed, but is also clean and solid.
This is the chance to own a car that most Cadillac enthusiasts would love to have. It is rare, unique, and
investment quality. Priced significantly under book value, leaving plenty on the table if you choose to do some
more restoration work. Runs and drives as well as it looks. Don’t hesitate.

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
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.
How GM's grueling 24-hour test gets the kinks out of its performance cars
Tue, 27 Aug 2013One of the biggest challenges automakers face when designing a high-performance car is making sure that it is both fast and reliable. For General Motors, any car that might be taken to the track by its owner - like the Corvette, Camaro Z/28 (shown above) and the Cadillac CTS-V, for example - undergoes a rigorous and strenuous 24-hour test by engineers at the Milford Proving Grounds, as pointed out by Car and Driver.
We've posted on this topic in the past - on a video showing the Camaro ZL1 being brutalized, for instance - but this article gives a more in-depth look at what actually happens behind the scenes... including what that poor ZL1 went through. Though the test isn't for 24 hours straight, the cars are pushed as hard as possible by some of GM's best drivers with only the brakes and tires replaced frequently.
We don't want to ruin the fun for you, but it is an interesting article that tells just some of what GM does to develop its sports cars. Check out the full article over at Car and Driver for the rest of the story.
