For sale here is a show quality 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado Convertible with just over 71,000 original miles. This Eldorado was purchased new at a dealer located in North Carolina, and the owner held onto it for more than 30 years! I bought it from a Florida resident 3 years ago, and have stored it during the winter months here in Michigan. Since I've owned the car, it has only been driven in the best of weather, and has been garage kept otherwise. I've put a lot of time and effort into making this classic stand out in a crowd. I have a collection of papers and documentation including the factory window sticker, owner's manual, and receipts going all the way back to the first owner.
The car is in beautiful condition, and is ready to drive. The matching number 500cid V-8 engine purrs like a kitten through a dual exhaust system that I had installed. The carburetor has recently been rebuilt, and I've added many new mechanical items including: Front axles, ball joints, and American Classic wide white wall tires.
Overall this classic Cadillac is truly gorgeous. The car has been repainted in the factory color (Brentwood Brown Metallic), and that remains in great condition. I had a local artist add subtle pinstripes in gold to set off the body lines. Included is a new fiberglass parade boot painted to match the body color that can be seen in the photos. The hood ornament is a 1939 Cadillac piece, and the original is also included. The vinyl top and the rubber inserts on the rear bumper were replaced last year too! All the sheet metal is straight, damage, and rust free.
The interior is just as nice as the exterior. The steering wheel has been replaced, as has both of the dashboard covers. The stereo and speakers have all been upgraded, and I still have the factory deck that is included. There is a custom center console that I had made which houses some of the new speakers and adds functional cup holders.
Bid to own this stunning Cadillac as my reserve price is very fair. I've invested more time and money than I could possibly recoup from this auction. What that means for you is a great deal while this lasts...don't miss out on this opportunity!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me @ (231)775-5734 (Ask for Ron). Thanks for looking and GOOD LUCK!

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

For 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.

GM design boss Welburn says Lincoln isn't a Cadillac rival [w/poll]

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

General Motors Vice President of Global Design, Ed Welburn, had some dismissive words for a certain cross-town luxury brand during an interview with Car and Driver. When asked about his thoughts on Lincoln, Welburn deflected, before saying, "I don't consider Lincoln to be a competitor for Cadillac."
"They're not a global luxury brand. I don't consider them a competitor. Are they a competitor for Buick? Quite possibly. But not for Cadillac," GM's head designer explained. Welburn, who's been at the helm of GM Design North America since 2003 and is the first to hold the position of VP of Global Design, has been instrumental in the styling renaissance at GM, so predictably, Car and Driver's interview with him focused on the design aspect of cars.
During the interview, Welburn explicitly denied plans for a reborn Cadillac XLR, even as a new Chevrolet Corvette is hitting the market and strides are being made with Cadillac's V-Series performance arm saying, "We have a lot of cars that we're working on for the Cadillac brand. The XLR is not one of them right now."
