Tony Soprano’s Cadillac Escalade is for sale and it’s not a steal
A Cadillac Escalade used during the making of “The Sopranos” is up for sale, but not at a New Jersey used car lot.The white 2003 SUV is being offered by Import 1 Motorsport in Pipersville, Pennsylvania.The vehicle was featured in the final three seasons of the show as Tony Soprano’s personal vehicle, according to documentation signed by the late James Gandolfini, who played the mob boss.Gandolfini said the production had two identical trucks and that this one was primarily used for exterior shots and close-ups of his character, along with a chase scene in the fifth season where he ran a rival off the road.The Escalade has 110,939 miles on the odometer and is fully loaded with leather trim, power side steps, tri-zone climate control, a Bose audio system and all high-tech features available in the day, including a computer controlled suspension system.Three of Gandolfini’s signatures can be found on the glove compartment door, the back of the driver’s headrest and on the driver’s sun visor, where he wrote, “thanks for the truck.”The last time the vehicle was publicly sold by RR Auctions in 2015 it went for $119,777, but it might cost a bit more to get into it this time around.Import 1 Motorsport has listed it for $175,000, but is also willing to consider other offers.That price would be more than the most expensive new Cadillac on sale today, which is the high performance Escalade-V that starts at $149,990.General Motors recently reconnected with the Sopranos in a very different way.Chevrolet ran an advertisement during the 2022 Super Bowl called “New Generation” that recreated the opening credits sequence from the show with Jamie Lynne Sigler, who played Tony’s daughter Meadow, driving an electric Silverado EV pickup

Princess Diana’s Ford Escort set to be sold at auction
told the Daily Mail.The Ford Escort RS will come with just under 25,000 miles on it, a Lifetime Tracker, a spare key, Ford internal memos and the car’s registration documents. The People’s Princess drove the small family car for three years — from 1985 to 1988 while Prince William and Harry were young — until the royal protection service made her switch to a more high-end model that offered more privacy and protection.“Parallels could be drawn with the RS Turbo’s reputation as the People’s Sports Car and the honorific of People’s Princess bestowed by the British public on Princess Diana,” the auctioneers said.“The RS Turbo was never designed to be driven by the wife of the second in line to the British throne nor to transport the future king.”Despite Princess Di driving more luxurious cars, the auctioneers said that the Ford Escort RS Turbo “far outperforms them at auction, selling in some cases for three times the price of equivalent models.”This car was said to be the princess’s car of choice because it reminded her of her previous car which was also an Escort, although it was red instead of black.The Daily Mail also reported that driving the car was likely an escape for Diana, possibly using the car to meet friends or go shopping. For it to be more suitable for a royal lifestyle, Ford’s special vehicle engineering department gave the car a “stealth makeover,” which included a five-slat front grille instead of three, along with an extra rearview mirror for the protection officer she had to ride with.The car has had quite the journey since it was owned by the People’s Princess, having three owners after her before being added to the Ford RS collection.However, Silverstone Auctions noted the vehicle is still in “top
