1979 Cadillac Phaeton Time Capsule 9,100 Original Miles Collector Owned on 2040-cars
South Plainfield, New Jersey, United States
|
For Sale is my 1979 Cadillac Phaeton with 9,100 original miles. I am a collector and the second owner of this spectacular time capsule Cadillac. I purchased this car from the original Texas owner in 2005 with 6,800 miles on it. I have documentation and photos of the then elderly man standing in front of the car in front of his home the day I purchased it. It was a family treasure parked in the garage for Sunday drives. This car had been kept all original as a drivable collector.
Since I purchased this car I performed annual services, changed battery, headliner (factory correct) bumper fillers, new power antenna, new remote alarm and door and trunk unlock, air shocks and built in battery tender etc. I drove the car on average 350 miles per year to keep it active. The Car is stored in my temperature controlled warehouse with the rest of my collection. This phaeton is fully equipped with special edition leather in as new condition (smells new), am/fm cassette, and cruise control. Twilight auto headlights. Illuminated entry, auto pull down trunk, all manual and best of all a set of NOS 1979 vintage appliance true spokes on vogue tires. These are period correct and could be purchased brand new on this car in 1979. I have the original hub caps as well. I have over $5,000 invested in the car that I am not looking to recoup, I am selling for fair market value only. The car is all original. The slight flaws- very few but I will list every single thing my perfection eyes know of, no hold backs at all. A small dent on the underside of the driver side rear quarter panel, see photo- unless I pointed it out you would not see it. I did not want to repair it and risk blending the paint on the quarter panel. There is extremely light discoloration on the driver door armrest; from light wear again I did not want to risk a color match. The trip odometer sometimes sticks when you press to reset the trip mileage. On my last ride home I noticed the fuel gauge sticks after a fill up for a few seconds, then releases. The car is a true 9,100 miles, the undercarriage and gas tank still factory clean. Paint is all original except bumper fillers, which match great and pinstripe was matched perfect. The hood and trunk paint are not as bright as the rest of the car, but shows very well as you can see in the photos. I never sell cars, and never intended on selling this one. I searched for this year, make and model for years, however I recently purchased an additional collector car I have been searching for and I getting tight on space in my temperature controlled storage warehouse. This is a great car, turns heads and stops traffic, and rides like a dream. My price is set very fair; you can buy this car take out the entire family, keep it for a few years and sell it for more than you purchased it for. The car is in South Plainfield, NJ 07080. Buyer must pick up or ship at their expense. $1,000 deposit within 24 hours of winning bid, full payment and pick up with certified or bank check within 7 days of winning bid. |

Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.
Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards
Fri, 18 Jan 2013This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.
Online Find Of The Day: 2008 Cadillac XLR picks up where Excalibur left off
Thu, 23 May 2013We try very, very hard to keep snark away from creations like the one you see here. After all, someone poured plenty of enthusiasm, time and money into turning a 2008 Cadillac XLR into a modern interpretation of the new-old cars typically done by cottage builders like Excalibur and Clénet. Even so, it's hard not to wince when you set an eye on this machine. With its wheelbase stretched to accommodate the extra bodywork, goofy sidewalls and upkicked nose (examine it in profile, it looks slightly bent in the middle), this "neoclassic" takes whatever was loveable about the Cadillac underneath and buries it in a tacky grave.
Miraculously, the engine bay has been left unmolested, which means the retractable hardtop convertible still features a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine good for 320 horsepower. If only that were enough to outrun its shame. If, for some reason, you feel like taking this thing home, Harry Kaufmann Motorcars of Milwaukee says it can be yours for a paltry $74,998. We wish were joking. Check it out here.
