2005 Cadillac XLR

By

Dan from Pennsylvania sent in some pictures of his beautiful 2005 Cadillac XLR. The color is Silver Platinum Nickel, I love the way it shines in the sun. Dan sent these pictures in a few weeks ago during the NY Auto Show but I didn’t get a chance to share them until now. Dan just got her back from the shop as the water pump decided it had enough and just quit. Welcome to our Cadillac Club Dan.

I have to say I am a big fan of the Cadillac XLR. I think it is just as sexy with the top up as it is with the top down. Thanks Dan for sending in the pictures, she sure is a beauty.

Now that the NY Auto show is over I can get back to posting about our members. As you can imagine I have lots of news from members that have come in over the last few weeks.

This Cadillac was sent in by Poppa De Grande from Northern California. He has a 77 Seville 88 Fleetwood and 84 drop EL Dog

red Cadillac convertible

When I was a kid my parents wold always buy the to ford the LTD and never would get a Caddi. I ask why and I was told that if I wanted a Caddi that I would have to by one myself when I got older, lol I did just that many times over lol.

I fell in love with cadillacs when this guy parked his car in front of my house as a kid and left his lights on (or so I thought) He said ” Dont worry about young blood its a little man in there and he runs back and forth and blows the candles out and then my light go off! Lol

My 1st Cadi was a 1964 Sedan De Ville. I saw the car when I was going to school one day just sitting in the driveway. I knocked on the door and the guy said he would sell it to me for 500.00 bucks The car was clean in and out and great running. When I got it home I got a couple bottles of cheap champange and sprayed down lol.

I have had at least 20 of my Fave car And if I had only half of them I would be a money rich man! I have been BLESSED to have had from the classic caddis to the brand new north star when the 1st came out. (Still my fave engine of all time) I could go on and on however I will be around to share more later I wanted to share my pics of what we have named Apple. We as in my 9 year old daughter which has already told me that this is her car when she is old enough to drive lol! More pics to come.

2013 Cadillac SRX at New York International Auto Show

By

I know it has been a while since I have posted but there is one more Cadillac I have to show you from the 2012 NY Auto show. This 2013 Cadillac SRX was really cool. It has the new Cue system in it as I am sure all Cadillacs will have going forward. Standing next to the SRX is Rosemary who was very helpful in providing me with all the details about the SRX. I was able to get a close up view on media day which was cool.

Here are some details from the press release:

The 2013 SRX’s enhanced technology also contributes to safety, with Cadillac’s new Driver Awareness and Driver Assist technology packages. Their features include Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Cadillac’s Safety Alert Seat technology, Automatic Front and Rear Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control and more, using radar and other technologies to help avoid collisions.

Interior and exterior design updates further distinguish the 2013 SRX, while active noise cancellation technology helps provide a quieter driving experience. It goes on sale this fall.

“The 2013 SRX illustrates the Cadillac philosophy of never leaving well enough alone,” said Don Butler, vice president of marketing for Cadillac. “The enhancements for the SRX – including CUE – are examples of how we’re developing advanced technologies and pushing them consistently through the Cadillac portfolio. They are also some of the key elements of the all-new XTS luxury sedan and ATS compact sedan, which will expand the Cadillac portfolio this summer.”

Since its redesign in 2009, the SRX has established a strong visual signature for Cadillac in the luxury crossover segment. The 2013 SRX refines that appearance with a new design for the front upper and lower grilles that conveys greater depth and the brand’s attention to detail. The front fender vents are new and incorporate LED light pipes.

Three new exterior colors are offered: Evolution Green Metallic, Glacier Blue Metallic and Silver Coast Metallic. Also new is the SRX’s range of 20-inch wheel designs, including new chrome and polished aluminum wheels for the Performance and Premium Collections – the top two option packages.

The SRX is offered in FWD and Advanced AWD models, each powered by a 3.6L Direct Injection V-6 that was added for 2012. It is rated an SAE-certified 308 horsepower (230 kW) and 265 lb.-ft. of torque (358 Nm).

I may make another post or two about the show but for now we are going back to normal. I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by both the new Cadillacs and our club members. You guys rock! No one complained about the amount of coverage from the show and all the emails. We also picked up a bunch of new readers. Kind of mixing new Cadillac fans with our older Cadillac fans is refreshing. It is good to see Cadillac gaining new fans.
