In 2003, Cadillac released a luxurious two-door roadster with plenty of features and a high specification. It was meant to be a modern iteration of the personal luxury car segment, and Cadillac based it on the Chevrolet Corvette of the period, although you’d never know unless told. The XLR was made until 2009, and only 15,460 units were produced during this run. Nevertheless, it was the first Cadillac with adaptive cruise control and seats that offered both heating and cooling capabilities. Today, the XLR stands as not just a curio, but a fine modern car that will no doubt evolve into a classic in a decade or so. That’s why you’d be smart to pick up this 9,868-mile 2006 Cadillac XLR that currently resides in Placentia, California. Get your hands on it before the crowd starts clamoring.
Exterior and Interior
The design of the XLR is the work of Tom Peters, who also penned the Corvette at the same time. This 2006 Cadillac XLR showcases its fine craftsmanship in a Raven Black coat, riding on recently re-chromed aluminum alloy wheels and hubcaps. We’re told that the wheels have also been clear-coated for added protection. Wrapped around them are a set of Pirelli Scorpion run-flat tires. Then, we get to the most interesting exterior feature of the car, its power-retractable hard top. Yes, this is in effect a coupe and a convertible in one car. The interior of this 2006 Cadillac XLR accommodates two adults on black leather-upholstered seats with heating, cooling, and power adjustment. Then, you’ve got Dark Eucalyptus wood trim, door handles, center console and shift knob. Further highlights include dual-zone automatic climate control, a Bose speaker system, and a color-screened infotainment system. All this was top-tier tech in 2006. The gauge cluster was also designed by Bulgari for that extra bit of high-fashion glam.
Engine
This 2006 Cadillac XLR has a 4.6-liter naturally aspirated Northstar V8 under the hood, sending 320 hp and 310 lb-ft to the rear wheels via a 5-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission and a 2.93 rear axle ratio. The car also features Magnetic Ride Control suspension, much like the Corvette.
The 2006 Cadillac XLR represents one of Cadillac’s most ambitious modern-era grand tourers, combining dramatic styling, an aluminum-intensive chassis, a power-retractable hardtop, and V8 performance in a two-seat roadster. Sharing its basic architecture with the contemporary Corvette but tuned around Cadillac’s luxury mission, the XLR was intended to compete with premium European retractable-hardtop GTs while showcasing technologies such as Magnetic Ride Control. Showing approximately 10,551 miles, this Black Raven example pairs its low-slung roadster profile with an Ebony cabin, Dark Eucalyptus wood trim, and a naturally aspirated 4.6L V8, making it a particularly appealing low-mileage example of Cadillac’s distinctive flagship convertible.
The 2005 Cadillac XLR was Cadillac’s answer to the luxury roadster market of the early 2000s, blending dramatic styling, V8 power, and a distinctly upscale approach to open-top motoring. Showing just 37,731 miles, this example is finished in Crimson Pearl over a Shale interior, a color combination that gives the car a rich, period-correct presence. Under the hood sits a 4.6L naturally aspirated Northstar V8 paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, while the cabin adds its own sense of occasion through Light Eucalyptus wood accents and XM Satellite Radio. With its low mileage, retractable-hardtop grand touring character, and unmistakably Cadillac presentation, this XLR offers a distinctive alternative to the more common European luxury convertibles of its era.
The 2004 Cadillac XLR arrived as Cadillac’s distinctive take on the luxury roadster, combining dramatic styling, a power-retractable hardtop, and Northstar V8 performance in a two-seat grand-touring package. Showing approximately 38,000 miles, this example is finished in Crimson Pearl over a Shale leather interior and presents a particularly elegant color combination for the first-year XLR. Equipment such as Magnetic Ride Control, adaptive cruise control, a head-up display, heated and cooled seats, and Bose premium audio gives it the blend of technology and comfort that made the XLR one of Cadillac’s most ambitious halo cars of the era.
Cadillac’s full-size luxury sedans of the late 1970s were built around comfort, presence, and unmistakable American styling, and this 1978 Cadillac Sedan deVille delivers that character in classic fashion. Showing approximately 61,669 miles, this example is finished in the particularly striking combination of Canyon Copper Firemist Metallic over an Antique Medium Saddle interior, complemented by a contrasting white padded vinyl roof. From its long body and chrome detailing to its V8 power and traditional rear-wheel-drive layout, this Sedan deVille offers the kind of relaxed, imposing cruising experience that defined Cadillac during the era.
The 1972 Cadillac Coupe DeVille is a full-size American luxury coupe from an era when Cadillac emphasized presence, comfort, and effortless V8 cruising above all else. This example shows approximately 47,078 miles and is finished in Promenade Gold Metallic (Code 54) with a White vinyl interior and matching White vinyl top. Its long body, fender skirts, chrome trim, 15-inch factory wheels, and formal roofline give it the unmistakable look of early-1970s Cadillac luxury. Add in the massive 472ci V8, power accessories, and broad bench-seat comfort, and this Coupe DeVille delivers exactly the kind of relaxed, dignified driving experience enthusiasts expect from a flagship American cruiser.
The 1984 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe is one of those cars that instantly takes you back to a time when American luxury meant long hoods, plush interiors, chrome trim, and effortless cruising. This Cotillion White example shows approximately 114,478 miles and pairs its formal coupe styling with a Saddle interior, wire-style wheel covers, opera-style rear quarter windows, and generous woodgrain trim. It is not trying to be sporty or subtle, and that is exactly the appeal. The Eldorado was built to make an entrance, settle into a comfortable cruise, and deliver the kind of old-school Cadillac experience that has become increasingly hard to find.
The C5-generation Corvette remains one of the most accessible ways to experience classic American V8 performance in a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive sports car. This 1999 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible shows 58,755 miles and is finished in Torch Red over a Black interior. Its configuration is especially appealing from an enthusiast standpoint, with Continuously Electronic Variable Real-Time Damping, the Active Handling System, and a Head-Up Display among its standout options. Adjustable sport bucket seats, a 3.15 performance axle ratio, a Bose audio system, and the open-air convertible body style round out a package that blends performance, usability, and unmistakable Corvette character.
The C5 Corvette is one of those cars that has only become easier to appreciate with time. It combines classic front-engine, rear-wheel-drive Corvette proportions with LS-series V8 power, a low curb weight, and a chassis that still feels purpose-built rather than luxury-oriented. This 2003 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe shows 124,410 miles and is finished in iconic Torch Red over a Black interior. More importantly for an enthusiast, this example is equipped with Magnetic Selective Ride Control, the Preferred Equipment Group 1SB, staggered high-polished wheels, and the desirable dual-roof setup with both body-color and translucent removable panels. It is a properly optioned C5 that delivers the combination of V8 character, open-air flexibility, and driver-focused equipment that made this generation such a strong performance value.
This 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 2LT Z51 is especially compelling for one simple reason: it shows just 790 miles. That exceptionally low mileage is paired with one of the strongest early-C8 configurations, combining Blade Silver Metallic paint, an Adrenaline Red interior, the Z51 Performance Package, Magnetic Selective Ride Control, front lift with memory, performance exhaust, and the Engine Appearance Package. Carbon Flash Metallic full-length dual racing stripes and bright red brake calipers add even more visual impact, making this a highly optioned and remarkably low-mile example of the first model year for the mid-engine Corvette.
