This is a sharp clean rust free survivor! 1978 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham 73,400 original miles Columbia blue (#21) Dark blue top (C) Blue cloth interior (#24C) Car comes with original window sticker and paperwork This Cadillac was purchased new at Bill Copps Cadillac in Vancouver, Washington on November 11, 1977 by Mr. Louis Krize. The car was lovingly cared for by Mr. Krize and was soon brought to his home in Arizona where it was used lightly and always garaged. After Mr. Krize passed away a friend of his purchased the car from his estate and he drove the car lightly as well. Soon after the car came to California and I was able to purchase the car. The car has been serviced and cared for and it shows. The car starts and runs like it should and it is smooth and powerful! All options work including level-ride and A/C and power antenna. This is a great driving car and handles nicely around town or on the freeway. Drive anywhere! Every angle of this car shows nothing but beauty! Car comes with two sets of keys and one set of uncut gold keys from 1978 in the pouch. Interior is so original and no cuts rips tears etc. The car has been fully serviced and needs only a new home. Thousands of dollars just spent on the following work done this year. New master cylinder/booster Belts/hoses Battery Muffler Cooling system flush Transmission service Rear differential service Complete tune up Rebuilt A/C system (Compressor etc) coverted to 134A Heater core Valve cover gaskets New front shocks 4 new American Classic 1.6" whitewall tires Power steering high pressure line New fuel pump and hoses Alignment The only work left to do is the headliner that is loose as they all are. It is tacked up but intact and useable. The interior is amazing and clean and soft cloth (not sunbaked) wood trim is exceptional! Door panels and dash are crack free. The body is straight and rust free, the paint is shiny and has very few imperfections. Look at the reflections in the paint in the pictures. The chrome is amazing as well. This car is clean sharp and almost a show car! There were 36,800 Fleetwood models produced in 1978, how many remain? You see many Coupe deVilles and Sedan Deville's But very few Fleetwood models. And when you do see them they are almost never in this great shape. This is one you can show or drive, your choice. Please call with questions or to make an appointment to see this amazing car.

Johan responds to critics again about Cadillac's NY move
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Cadillac's new President Johan de Nysschen has faced a fair amount of criticism since assuming his position at the head of the American luxury manufacturer. From the company's move to New York City to a controversial new naming scheme, the first few months of his tenure have not been smooth sailing. Now, the embattled exec is firing back against his critics, notably Automotive News Editor-in-Chief Keith Crain, in a new column running in AN.
De Nysschen countered Crain's claim that the move to the Big Apple, "can only mean that someone wants to live in New York."
"The relocation decision is entirely unrelated to the personal living preferences of any Cadillac executive. No corporation would tolerate such indulgence by its leadership," de Nysschen wrote. "It is about structurally entrenching a challenge to the status quo by reinforcing the psychological and physical separation in business philosophy between the mainstream brands and GM's luxury brand."
C7 Corvette won't spawn new Cadillac XLR [w/video]
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Between the new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray and the even newer Cadillac Elmiraj Concept shown off at Pebble Beach, we were already expecting some sort of chatter of a Cadillac XLR redux. During an in-depth C7 Corvette discussion with Tadge Juechter, the car's chief engineer, Fox News asked if a Corvette-based, Bowling Green-built Cadillac will be built off the C7. Non-spoiler alert: the answer is no.
Juechter says that General Motors has "no intent" on transforming this car into a Cadillac product since the C7 has been optimized for the Corvette buyer, a consumer that's generally a different sort of person than a Cadillac intender who might also be cross-shopping a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class or BMW 6 Series.
While we're not ready to write off a future XLR altogether, we assume that the Corvette Cadillac experiment is most likely never going to happen again. The interview with Juechter is posted below, but the XLR discussion comes in at the 9:00 mark.
Cadillac could 'flourish' in Australia, says marketing chief
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Cadillac might have its best product mix in recent history, and GM's luxury brand is looking to expand. In fact, it might even be making a trip Down Under, at least according to the company's global marketing chief.
Uwe Ellinghaus spoke with Australian site Car Advice at the Geneva Motor Show and said the brand could be quite successful there. "[The] goodwill that the Cadillac brand has is such a good starting base that once we get proper volume commitment and a dealer network behind it we can easily flourish," he said, though he warned that the plans are still in their earliest stages and years away. First, Cadillac will expand in markets with the highest possible sales, like China and Russia.
Ellinghaus said that the most likely models for Oz would be the SRX, Escalade and CTS; the latter would probably act as a replacement for the Holden Commodore. GM's Australian arm is ending local production in 2017, and there have been many rumors about what is happening to the big sedan. However, Ellinghaus admits exporting cars from the US to Australia is going to mean higher prices. In addition to the expense, Cadillac doesn't currently build any right-hand-drive models. It would likely take until the end of the decade before the Aussie models could be ready.
