1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham D'elegance Sedan 4-door 8.2l on 2040-cars
Ramona, California, United States
|
This 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham de Elegance is an original, San Diego car with no body rust. Comes with original bill of sale. I purchased the car from the original owners estate about two years ago, the original owner passed away about 12 years ago, the car sat in storage for 10 years before I purchased it. The original owner spent over $10,000 renovating the car in the late 1980's, it was driven very little after that, and not at all for the 10 years it was in storage. Receipts for work done are with the car. Mileage is believed to be the true original mileage, but no guarantees. Car is very clean, body is very straight, doesn't show any signs of having been wrecked. It was repainted with gloss black and clearcoat just before it went into storage. Paint is excellent except for a couple very minor blemishes and dings, as shown in the photos. 3 ea. Fleetwood emblems come with the car, they were never put back on after the car was painted. Interior has been completely redone, seats are black velour, and items that are usually subject to cracking on older Cadillacs, such as the dash, have been recovered in matching black vinyl. A couple of the door panel pieces and interior trim pieces still need to be attached more securely. There is one small blemish on the back seat that looks like a cigarette burn, as shown in the photos. Mechanically the car is sound, I've driven it for a couple 100 mile round trips in hot weather with no problems. When the car came out of storage, we changed the oil and trans fluid, flushed the cooling system, and installed new radiator hoses and thermostat, and flushed the fuel system with fresh gasoline. Car drives very well, has a slight stumble on initial acceleration, mechanic says the carb should be rebuilt due to the accelerator pump not working due to the years in storage. Car has passed California smog with no problems for Ca. purchasers. Climate control isn't presently working, it looks like the original owner was in the middle of a repair project on it when he passed away. This car isn't a show winning car, but's it's definitely a super clean driver - gets lots of approving nods on the road. |

South Dakota dealer filled to brim with classic cars
Wed, 12 Mar 2014Other than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Mount Rushmore, South Dakota isn't generally a hot topic, but that just means that cool stuff can hide in the open waiting to be discovered. Case in point: the classic car dealer Frankman Motor Company that operates three locations in Sioux Falls, SD.
Unearthed by the folks at Bring a Trailer, Frankman is a treasure trove of vintage, American iron. Their collection is full of the type of vehicles your irresponsible but cool uncle would show up with when you were a kid. Even better, these cars are priced at a level a working man can afford.
If you are lusting about a cruiser then Frankman has a 1956 Cadillac Deville Hard Top Sedan (pictured right) with 82,896 miles for $12,975. It's painted a color called Cascade Grey, but looks more like a pastel purple in pictures. While it needs some repairs to the accessories, the Caddy runs and drives, which is all you really need.
Cadillac prepares to top its own 'Ring record with upcoming new CTS-V
Mon, 14 Jul 2014It was a big deal back in 2008 when the original Cadillac CTS-V clocked a lap time of 7:59 at the Nürburgring, making it the fastest sedan ever to lap the Nordschleife to that date. Not many four-doors have bested that time since - the list consisting pretty much only of the Porsche Panamera Turbo - but now hot hatches are lapping faster than that, so you can bet that the new one will manage an even better time.
Now we've spotted the upcoming new CTS-based performance sedan several times before undergoing testing in locations around the world, but this is the first time we've seen it at the Nürburgring, apparently using the Goodyear Dunlop test facility as its base of operations (and still wearing Michigan manufacturer plates, incidentally). Considering how well the outgoing CTS-V performed and how much further you can bet Cadillac will push the envelop this time around, a new sedan lap record is almost a certainty - and we can only hope for an all-out war between Europe's performance sedan power houses to ensue.
Cadillac SRX likely to see next-gen built in China
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Here's some shocking news to no one: People love crossovers, including those living in China. Since introducing the Cadillac SRX there in 2009, the model's sales have gone through the roof. Now, the brand is considering moving some production of the next-generation model in China to eliminate import tariffs and make it an even bigger player in the market.
According to a recent report in The Wall Street Journal, the crossover is leading Cadillac's Chinese growth, despite its US-equivalent price of over $67,000 after the country's high import tariffs. The CUV's sales are up 23 percent there so far this year, and it's responsible for over 40 percent of the brand's sales. John Stadwick, General Motors' VP of sales, service and marketing in China, told the WSJ that GM could "very possibly" build the next-gen model there.
The SRX is Cadillac's golden goose in China, and it just keeps pushing the brand's sales forward. "It's the vehicle that took us out of being a small niche in the market," said David Caldwell, Cadillac Communications Manager, to Autoblog. Before the CUV, Caddy was selling a little over 20,000 cars a year there, but partially thanks to the crossover's success, the brand sold 50,000 vehicles last year and could reach 60,000 this year. "The SRX is the most popular Cadillac in that market," he said.
