Welcome ! Nice looking car. Welcome aboard! Sound like it's pretty heavily modified, yet tastefully done from what I can tell. Again, welcome to The XLR Site. :wave:

42* With The Top Down? : ) Understand. Just have to do it! The answer to 42* with the top down: Windows up and heater on full blast. Been there, done that! Yet, it still gets darn cold. :thumbsup Enjoy!

So true! Unfortunately we had more snow last night. When we first moved to Colorado, it was May 8th many years ago. Moved here from California. Simi Valley Moving and Storage did the move. The guy told me we were 'Crazy' and he and his crew were getting out of here as fast as they could! We had...

Oh, Gee, Thanks : ) Glad to hear that Silver Beauty is all repaired. --- Rub it in buddy. Here it is Winter Late into what should be Spring, but unfortunately it often isn't 'Spring' until June at 7,400 feet above sea level. I have been told that the altitude also effects one's brain function...

Nice pictures Dan! Did you get it all fixed after the Post Bowling Green Mishap? Today, and I thought it was 'over, maybe?', it is snowing here again! Ugh. Really sick of Winter. Best, Charles

They Did Some Really Weird Things Back Then : ) I also remember my Dad buying the 'huge luxury barge land yachts' back then. He was a Pontiac guy. 1979 was Cadillac's 1st 'downsizing' of The Eldorado. Yet it is by today's standards a big car.

Too Funny. --- A Really Bad Habit For sure, riding the brakes will shell the pads and the rotors out in nothing flat. Typically the rotors overheat and warp from this really bad habit. --- Post some pictures when you can. I understand we are supposed to get more snow starting tonight and...

Thank You! : ) Thanks! Being a 1979 Cadillac COPO ordered car originally (they did not make convertibles then), it is a pretty rare one. It was bought new by one of The Getty Oil Heiress Ladies at (then), Restor Cadillac in Burlingame California. Has 45K original miles on the clock. Special...

Well, if you do not see any coolant on the ground under the vehicle, then it's not leaking, that's for sure. One thing that many on this site have corrected on their XLR's is the cabin heat from the exhaust system that runs through the console tunnel underneath. The fix is to buy the insulated...

Welsome Aboard! Enjoy! : ) The comment about the brakes having to be replaced kind of cracked me up because of mine. Bought it from the original owners in San Diego. It had right at 29000 miles on the odometer. The brakes all around were 'shot'. Took it in to The Cadillac Dealer where they had...

Welcome! + Don't be afraid of The XLR The retractable top is to me one of the most unique charecteristics of these cars. Such attention getters. Also not any more problematic than any other vehciles I have owned. And I have owned many. As previously mentioned, the one thing with these...

Congratulations, and Welcome to The XLR Forum! Hi Scott, many moons ago we also lived in Minnesota. Both St. Louis Park, then Minnetonka. Yes, you guys got hammered with Winter and snow like we did. Ugh. Yet, It IS Melting Now! Yea! Top down weather, soon. ;) You are correct. This IS the place...

Pretty Car! : ) Welcome Great picture. What a beautiful vehicle. Welcome to The XLR Group. Top down weather will eventually arrive here soon as our snow (abundant quantities this Winter) is finally starting to melt. I also own a white Cadillac Convertible. :thumbsup Please see the picture inset...

I Understand it is 'warmer' in Arizona. : ) Me also! We have had lots of discussions about bagging it here, and moving to AZ. Yet it 'really' gets hot there in the summer. Some years ago I traveled to Phoenix on a regular basis as I had a customer right downtown. One day in July when I arrived...

Beautiful ! : ) Congratulations. Just stunning. Enjoy! :) --- Here, 'Goldie' is still sleeping in the garage for the remainder of our winter. Last week, we were in the center of "The Bomb Cyclone" with 70 to 80 mph winds and 18" of new snow (no damage). Drifts 4' to 5' high. Ugh. :( I think we...

Welcom to The XLR Site Please post some pictures of your XLR when you can. Mine had 29K miles on it when I bought it from the original owners in San Diego. Now at 45K miles. Wanted a 'V' also, but also wanted Gold Mist. Apparently they never made The Gold Mist in a V. Go figure. Welcome to the...

Hello Hawyeye from Snowy Colorado : ) Please say hello to your Mom for us. She is a great lady! It was a pleasure to meet you and she in person in Bowling Green. Great cars, greater people. :wave: --- Oops! Meant "Hawkeye" in the intro, but cannot correct this in edit.

Welcome to The XLR Site Welcome aboard! Really neat cars and unusual enough to draw lots of attention. When I first got my XLR it was the first Cadillac in our family. Then The 79' Eldorado Convertible. Then this past Spring my wife got a 2016 SRX AWD. So a "Cadillac Pattern" has now been...

Sounds like you 'Made Up Your Mind' : ) If you replace the wheels and rims with the stock ones, sounds like that should solve the problem(s). I cannot agree with any statement from the Cadillac Dealer or The Seller, that this is "normal" on XLR's for the wheel rims to "bend". Maybe if someone...

Certainly Things To Consider Maybe you could make The Seller deal with the vibration issue, by replacing the wheels and tires and doing the brakes as a condition of sale? Or have them discount it another - $2K or whatever (?), and/or you replace them? Assuming (?) the Car Fax is 'clean' and...
