The Cadillac has long stood as a beacon of luxury and sophistication in the American automotive landscape, a tradition that persists to this day. During the 1970s, amidst the fuel crisis, the luxury car market began to evolve, shifting towards vehicles that prioritized fuel efficiency. However, Cadillac remained true to its roots, continuing to produce vehicles that epitomized luxury, despite the growing prevalence of smaller, more fuel-efficient cars from Japanese manufacturers. A prime example of Cadillac's dedication to luxury during this era is the 1972 Cadillac Eldorado. This particular Eldorado is not just any classic Cadillac; it is reputed to have been owned by the legendary wrestler and actor Count Billy Varga and boasts a well-documented history with 32,000 miles on the odometer.
Established in 1902, Cadillac is one of the world's oldest and most respected automobile manufacturers. The Cadillac Eldorado, known for its long, smooth cruising capabilities and colossal Detroit iron, stood out as a trendsetter in the luxury automotive landscape. This 1977 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible, with only 34,000 miles on the odometer, represents a classic example in exceptional condition.
The Cadillac Eldorado, a nameplate that graced the automotive landscape from 1952 to 2002 across twelve generations, held a special place as Cadillac's premier personal luxury car. In 1973, the ninth-generation Eldorado was chosen to lead the prestigious Indianapolis 500, a momentous honor. To commemorate this achievement, a mere 556 units were produced, and we are delighted to offer one for sale: the 1973 Cadillac Eldorado Indianapolis Pace Car, boasting a mere 9,500 miles on its illustrious journey. Impressively, this vehicle is an all-original specimen, having been in the possession of just two discerning owners.
Cadillac has been around for decades, and throughout its time, it was exclusively known as a luxury car manufacturer with some of the best options you could get on an American car. It was a no-brainer when Cadillac introduced the expensive-looking Cadillac CTS in 2002, replacing the outgoing Cadillac Catera model. What was a surprise was the introduction of the Cadillac CTS-V variant of the regular CTS. The V in the CTS-V stands for "Victory," a direct competitor of the likes of the "M Division," Mercedes-Benz AMG, and the likes. In fact, the CTS-V was created to compete in the luxury high-performance market against the BMW M3/M5, thus giving the American crowd an all-American option compared to the Europeans available at that time. While the CTS-V ended production in 2019, it is still a highly sought-after car, as with this 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, with only 19,000 miles on the odometer and has a few aftermarket upgrades.
Cadillac is considered one of the first automotive brands in the world. Founded in 1902 by the founder of Motor City – Detroit, Antoine de la Mothe, Cadillac, whose coat of arms is used as the brand's crest. From its inception, Cadillac's main focus has been on luxury builds, and this continued when General Motors took over the brand in 1909. One of Cadillac's memorable models is the Cadillac Fleetwood, which has its roots all the way back to 1916; while the Fleetwood is currently discontinued, it is still a much sought-after vehicle. The Fleetwood's status as a premier luxury vehicle made it aptly suitable for a myriad of uses. Take this 1988 Cadillac Fleetwood that has undergone a custom funeral car conversion custom built by The S & S Coach Company to give loved ones a last ride in luxury. The conversion has been done with excellent workmanship and is host to the original engine with 75,000 miles on the odometer.
Cadillac is a brand with a rich history dating back to the early 1900s. It cemented its reputation as a luxury carmaker in the United States of America by catering to the auto needs of the rich and famous. Nevertheless, Cadillacs weren’t a one-trick pony. They made sure that their cars had the grunt to match their weight. Cadillac was considered “the standard of the world” after they introduced the V8, V12, and V16 engines in the early 1930s. This heritage has been carried through to the new century when Cadillac introduced its CT line, which is considered a luxury executive saloon. For those executives who were looking for a speed thrill, they came up with the CT5-V Blackwing, the fastest Cadillac ever made. This stunning example is a 2022 model year CT5-V Blackwing with just 4,000 miles on the clock.
