You are viewing the king of luxury "barge cars" of the early 1970's.  A 1973  CADILLAC FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM.  Nothing was longer or heavier - not Lincoln or Imperial of that era.  The only car in standard production which was larger, was the Cadillac series 75 (which was the commerical chassis for ambulances, herses, and limousines.)  If you owned a Fleetwood Brougham sedan, it was a status symbol in American culture before the downsizing and fuel crisis that soon followed.

The interior of the car is a must see.  No cracks, sun-fading, rips, tears, dents, or stains.  Car has been garage kept most all of its life.   The interior is olive green leather  with embroidery (...goovy).  Carpeting is all original, thick, with no stains.  The rear seat passengers have carpeted leg rests - a feature only found on the Fleetwoods.  All electrics operate on the car - power windows, locks, and the driver's six-way power seat.   The front seat is a split 60/40 design.    All interior lights work including the reading lights on the "C Panel".  What does not work is the power antenna (maybe a wire).

Original rubber (color correct) floor mats with the Cadillac crest come with the car.   The gold vinyl roof is all original and is superior!  The exterior paint is the original factory Phoenix Gold Firemist with maintained areas (an extra charge option back then).  So The flanks of the car are good as are the horizontal surfaces.  The very hard-to-find plastic fender fillers (1973 was the first model year for these due to the Federal Government mandate of 5 mph bumpers, which this car has)  are all there.

Air conditioning is R12.  Blower is strong, and the air conditioning does blow super cold air.   The caddy built 472 engine is strong coupled to a massive Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission which does have a very slow leak.  It is not enough to have the seal changed.   

Underneath is excellant with NO RUST.  Engine does not burn oil.  No smoke from exhaust.  No rust in the trunk with all of the original trunk carpeting including an original Cadillac rubber trunk mat.

I have owned this car since November of 2008 and I love it, but must sell it for room.   I have had it garage kept.   I have rebuilt the quadrajet carb and upgraded the exhaust with new muffler and tailpipes. removed all ca smog equip and have installed a custom bypass pulley.      This piece of equipment is unique.  The front is stunning!   The Fleetwood standard hood stand-up Cadillac wreathed crest is missing.   Talk about over the top...  anybody looking at this monster rolling up behind them on the highway will take notice!

I have the original window sticker with all of the original factory installed options.  Plus additional original brochures from 1973.  Included with the sale of the car will be a nice softback book about Cadillacs.  What a great package of Cadillac nostalgia for the Cadillac enthusiest.  

The car will be sold with the brochures and hardback book.   I am requesting only serious bidders for this car.  If you are knowledgable about this era of American cars - this is an outstanding example for you to consider.   The car does need to be restored to be able to say its a "10".   -  but....this would be an easy restoration job, with hardly any work to be done on the interior and some work on the exterior.   No re-chroming needed.   Come see this car and what AMERICAN ENGINEERING was all about.  

There was only 24,800 Fleetwoods made in 1973.   Only the 1973 models have the unique "beaver tail" rear end bumper.  Starting in 1974, these vehicles had a restyle keeping the same dimensions.  Few 1973's are on the road today.  This one is very driveable today and a head turner AS IS.

Cadillac Elmiraj Concept brings big coupe style to Pebble Beach [w/videos]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Two years ago, Cadillac absolutely floored us with the debut of its gorgeous Ciel concept at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. And since that droptop four-door's debut, we've seen plenty of its design language worked into the latest Cadillac products. Now, we're seriously hoping that history will repeat itself with this stunning new Elmiraj coupe concept, which makes its first public appearance in Monterey this week.
Cadillac states that the Elmiraj concept simply showcases the next step forward for the brand's Art & Science design DNA, and doesn't necessarily preview an upcoming model. But if you told us the Elmiraj was a conceptual look at the next-generation CTS Coupe, or a smaller, two-door version of a new flagship, we'd believe you. At 207 inches long, 76 inches wide and 55 inches tall, its dimensions are only slightly larger than the current two-door CTS.
Regardless of what the Elmiraj does or does not become, it's certainly a fantastic modern interpretation of the classic GT formula with its short front overhang, long hood, rakish roofline and petite rear deck. The strong character lines running along the sides and exaggerated 22-inch wheels round out the beautiful coupe, and Cadillac's signature vertical LED lighting elements are found at the front and rear. Also take note: the badge on the grille is a crest without a wreath, basically confirming our earlier report.

Cadillac ATS-V Coupe caught undisguised ahead of LA reveal

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Vsport versions of the CTS and XTS sedans are all well and good, but what Cadillac enthusiasts have really been looking forward to is the arrival of the next full-on V model. And here we have it.
Spied in the nude during an apparent photo shoot ahead of its anticipated debut at the fast-approaching Los Angeles Auto Show, the upcoming new Cadillac ATS-V Coupe is set to pick up where the old CTS-V left off, only in a more compact form. Unlike previous spy shots of heavily disguised prototypes, this final version is showing a chrome-framed mesh grille, along with a deep lower air dam with what looks to be a carbon-fiber front splitter. That bulging hood with heat extractor vents is tipped to be packing a twin-turbo V6 engine, breathing out of quad exhaust tips.
The aggressive aero kit also encompasses side skirts, a reshaped rear bumper and a lip spoiler on the truck, while the upgraded rolling stock wears serious low-profile rubber and the brakes appear to be carbon-ceramic units. Peer through the window and you can even see the sport bucket seats with slots for racing harnesses. All of which suggests a serious American challenger to the BMW M4 and its ilk, and we're looking forward to seeing the vehicle in the metal in LA next month.

Cadillac to launch Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology in two years [w/video]

Sun, 07 Sep 2014

We all know that self-driving cars are coming. It's not so much a question of If so much as When. And when it comes to General Motors products, we now have something of a date to work with, as Cadillac has announced plans to roll out what it is calling Super Cruise technology in an unnamed new model within the next two years. As you would expect, this new tech can speed the car up, slow it down and keep it in its intended lane, but GM isn't expected to release a fully self-driving car, saying that it will still require "an attentive driver."
We're not quite sure what new model Cadillac will use to launch this new technology, but our best guess would be its upcoming LTS sedan. Other possibilities may include a new crossover - we've heard rumors of CUVS coming from Caddy both above and below the current SRX - or entry-level sedan, but those seem less likely than a high-dollar flagship like the LTS.
The next techy bit of kit currently being shown off by Cadillac engineers includes vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, technology which would seemingly allow cars to travel in close proximity to one another, with less danger of collisions. According to our friends at Engadget, GM is working with the University of Michigan to outfit some 120 miles of roads in and around Detroit, MI, with the requisite sensors to make all this technology possible.
