Up for your consideration is a beautiful 1985 Cadillac Seville. This is a low mileage car with only 74522 miles on it. To the best of my knowledge this is the correct mileage. The car is in great shape, and runs and drives well. Transmission shifts beautifully with no jerking. The car is equipped with all of the Cadillac options for 1985 except for the sunroof. It does have the factory installed faux convertible top on it which was recently replaced. It is also equipped with the optional Kelsey Hayes spoke wheels offered by Cadillac at the time. These wheels are in fair shape with a little discoloration of the chrome on a couple of them, but all in all look really great considering they are about 28 yrs. old. Another option it has that I had installed is a remote 12 disk CD player located in the trunk. This system works great and is controlled from a controller attached to the dash. The A/C is climate control as in all Cadillac's and works fine both heating and cooling. The car is finished in Firethorn Blue and had a repaint about 4 yrs. ago. The paint still looks really good. Chrome is in great shape also. it is equipped with semi-wide white wall tires which have about 60% of their tread left on them. The interior is all original with the exception of the headliner which was replaced four years ago with the original type material. The seats are all leather and in excellent shape with no tears or major scuffs. The door panels also in great shape with no cracks or tears in the vinyl. One thing that does not work on the car is the auto leveling system. About a year ago the compressor, although it still runs, does not put out enough air pressure to raise the car. I have been unable to find a replacement compressor, therefore that system is now controlled manually by a valve stem near the gas tank filler under the rear license plate.
For anyone who is a fan of the so called "hump back" design of this generation of Seville this is a great example of a great auto. This design was used on the Seville from 1980 thru 1985. One of the complaints about this car was the 4.1 Liter engine not having enough power. It is true it is a little under powered but it was not meant to be used as a race or drag race car and performs beautifully on the highway.
I drove this car for several years as my daily driver and now in the last several months it has only been out for an occasional car show.
I am listing this with no reserve with what I feel is a low starting bid. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

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.
Cadillac logo losing its wreath?
Tue, 23 Jul 2013The easily recognizable Cadillac logo dates back to the company's founding in the early 1900s, but over the last 110 years, there has been an on-again, off-again love affair with the wreath surrounding the crest. Cadillac's current badge design has used the wreath since the 1980s, but Automotive News is reporting that GM's luxury division is planning to ditch the laurel wreath for a cleaner-looking logo.
The new logo could make its debut as early as next month on a new concept car that will be revealed at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, although the report also says that it might be until 2015 before it makes its way to a production car. Even then, it doesn't like anything has been finalized yet, as the article also says that plans could still change.
As Cadillac looks to improve its global presence as a luxury automaker, the report says that a simpler logo could make it easier for designers to incorporate the badge onto the car - either in the grille or above the grille (possibly in a fashion similar to Mercedes-Benz). Head on over to the AN article, which shows the Cadillac logo dating back to its earliest design.
2014 Cadillac ELR is making green sexy in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013
In terms of styling, inside and out, the ELR hits the ball out of the park.
Cadillac has pulled the wraps off of its newest family member, the long-rumored, Voltec-powered, eye-catching extended range hybrid coupe called the ELR. The car makes use of the same basic architecture as the Chevrolet Volt, but has been thoroughly layered on with design, technology and performance tuning - with the goal of being a properly situated product for the Cadillac brand.
