How about this. The Cadillac XLR is a "rebadged" Corvette. :banghead: Oh well, at least they thought it was one of the "seven best". Seven of the Best Rebadged Cars Ever Made

I've been going through some old boxes and envelopes looking for documents associated with my 66 GTO, the GreaT One. Here's an interesting item I came across. It's from 1974, when most of us were sitting in line to buy a tank of gasoline. The station from which I purchased most of my gas put...

Shortly after I purchased Crimson Pearl, Cadillac Tech (Bruce) posted about using this product to prevent problems with the fuel gauge sensors. He stated that the regular use of this product would help prevent expensive problems with the fuel level sensors. Based on his recommendation, I...

Has everyone else received this letter from Cadillac concerning manual access? It discusses manual operation of the door latches in the event of a discharged or disconnected battery. It also reminds you to review the owners manual about the access keyhole located in the rear bumper cover. I...

As time goes on, it seems to me that the XLR may become the Unknown Cadillac. As pointed out in some other threads, the Cadillac book by Assouline doesn't even mention the XLR and it doesn't appear on the Cadillac timeline in the book. Accidental omission or deliberate snub? The XLR book by...

The GreaT One was entered into my favorite local Car Show on Saturday, June 13, 2015. This is always a fun event with good people, hot dogs and burgers and lots of great cars. It won "Best Original". You can see the plaque on the trunk of the GreaT One. A couple that are friends of Alexis...

UPS delivered a large package last week. What could it be? The return address was Hit Zone Pro Shop in MN. It's an Air Force Master Blaster! I wanted one, but just was too cheap to lay out the $$ that they sell for.:eek: But I travel a lot for business and accumulate a lot of reward points...

My GTO was invited to participate in the 2015 Trump Charlotte Concours d'Elegance. It was in the "American Musclecar" category and the class was limited to eight entries. The other entries were a 1967 Shelby GT350, a 1967 Shelby GT500, a 1968 Ford T5 Export Mustang, a 1969 Mercury Cyclone Dan...

The spring issue of Hagerty Classic Cars magazine contains an interview with Ed Welburn, GM Vice-president of Global Design. He was asked to name his top five Cadillacs of all time. He said he had written down as many as 20 different models. Then he thought about what he would like to have in...

I've had very few problems with Crimson Pearl, but I recently had a very frustrating experience with OBDII! In the state of North Carolina, your vehicle has to pass a State Inspection. It includes an actual inspection of safety items as well as a test of your OBDII System. This is for...

Twas the day before Christmas, when all through the house, only one creature was stirring, of course, it was my spouse. The cars were parked in the garage with care, in hopes that better weather would soon be there. The XLR, GTO and El Camino were nestled snug in their beds, while visions of...

I purchased my first car back in 1972, a 1966 Pontiac GTO. I purchased it from the folks that had ordered it new in 1966. I drove it through my college years and the first few years after I graduated and was working for the power company. As the years went by, It was driven less and less and...

I stopped by my local Chevrolet/Buick/Cadillac/GMC Dealer this week to pick up a new TPMS Sensor for my Tahoe. I walked around to the showroom to have a look at what was new and lo and behold, I saw this! I thought I would post it here in the event that anyone was looking for one. Less than...

I received this postcard recently advertising non-manufacturer warranty contracts. It makes sense that if they pulled my info from the DMV database, they would know I owned a XLR and would use the image of one on the card. I spotted this business card the other day when in my Insurance agent's...

I was cleaning out my desk today and came across this in a GM report to stockholders booklet. I thought some might find it interesting.

I recently acquired this Summer 2002 issue of Vision magazine. It has a very nice article about the forthcoming XLR.

The nature of my business necessitates frequent travel. Fortunately, most of it is within the Carolinas. When I have the opportunity to do so and not take too much time, I like to travel the "backroads". You never know what you might see and it often provides an idea for a nice little day trip...
