Another GEM from this large Cadillac collection.  Selling this 1972 Cadillac Fleetwood, 60 Special Brougham.  It is finished in blue with a black vinyl top.  The Cadillac has been stored in the garage and has not seen daylight in over 20 plus years.  The interior is in good condition.  The front driver's side bottom cushion does have some wear in the fabric(see video and photos).  The rear seats look like they have never been sat in.  The foot rest are still attached.  The seatbelts clean and intact.  It fires right up and drives good.  I personally would change all the fluids and bleed the brakes as they are a bit spongy.  Most likely from sitting all these years.  The chrome is good and the tires have good tread.  The dash is not cracked, the original radio is still in the dash.  The trunk is clean and the factory jack instructions are still attached.  The spare tire cover is still present too.  Cadillac's were the vehicle of choice of the rich and famous.  This 1972 was purchased new in Northern California in 1973 and remained here it's entire life, cozy in it's custom fit garage.  This Fleetwood was the garage mate of the 1972 Limo that I recently sold on ebay. Many more miles are to be driven in this Fleetwood so bid it to win it.  Selling for NO RESERVE.  Final bid gets to take her home. With all my auctions, a few requirements.  First, NO PAYPAL.  Second, any and all bidders with less than 10 feedback, and/or negative feedback need to contact me prior to bidding with their full name and contact number or their bid will be cancelled and their user id blocked from additional bidding.  Third, you are bidding to own, not look and make excuses.  Any and all inspections welcome during the auction period, not after.  Once the auction is completed, you are the new owner. Also, selling in AS-IS, Where-Is condition with NO WARRANTIES, expressed or implied.  Seller has represented vehicle to the best of his knowledge and makes no representations as to the condition of vehicle that are not known to him.  Vehicle is also advertised locally and seller reserves right to end the auction early and cancel all bids if sold outside of ebay.  Any and all interested buyers can email for a buy it now price if they cannot wait until the end of the auction.  So, with a great big, Caddy for your Daddy" yell, let the auction begin.

2014 Cadillac ELR is making green sexy in Detroit

Tue, 15 Jan 2013


In terms of styling, inside and out, the ELR hits the ball out of the park.
Cadillac has pulled the wraps off of its newest family member, the long-rumored, Voltec-powered, eye-catching extended range hybrid coupe called the ELR. The car makes use of the same basic architecture as the Chevrolet Volt, but has been thoroughly layered on with design, technology and performance tuning - with the goal of being a properly situated product for the Cadillac brand.

Cadillac to vie for Secret Service armored car contract, new Beast?

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

President Obama has used the same armored limo since his inauguration in 2008. Known by many as The Beast, the Presidential Limo was provided by Cadillac and earned its nickname in large part because of its massive size, which isn't surprising considering that its Caddy-shaped bodywork is said to sit atop a heavy-duty truck chassis.
It seems the Secret Service may be in the market for a Beast replacement, having issued a request for proposals for a new armored limo. According to Motor Trend, Obama's backup limo is a leftover from the Bush Administration, so it will be interesting to see if this new machine will serve as a replacement for The Beast or for its backup. The contract is to be awarded by September 29, 2013.
The boys from MT contacted Cadillac, Lincoln and Chrysler, and Chrysler is the only one that would confirm that it is not pursuing the contract. Cadillac may have the inside track, as it has provided Presidential limos since 1993, but Lincoln also has a long and storied history of chauffeuring the President.

Autoweek divulges details on Presidential limo

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Ever since the latest presidential limousine, also known as The Beast, debuted in 2009, we've wondered what's underneath that black Cadillac body. We already know a few details, like the fact it isn't a Cadillac at all, but a very heavy duty truck chassis from General Motors with a body that resembles a super-sized Caddy. Autoweek, however, has managed to extract new details from veteran Secret Service agents about the closely guarded presidential limo. Their methods, of course, are classified.
Designed to be a rolling office, bunker and escape pod all in one, the current presidential limo is far different from previous presidential state cars, which were heavily modified production vehicles. As we would expect, The Beast uses thick, military-grade body armor (eight inches on the doors), an armored fuel tank, special run-flat tires with Kevlar lining, an encrypted satellite phone, a fully sealed cabin with its own oxygen supply and a trunk full of weapons and medical equipment that includes a supply of the President's blood type (in case the car gets cut off from the ambulance that's always present in the President's motorcade).
The Beast also comes with a Halon fire-suppression system, night vision and is powered by a V8 engine, which we already knew runs on gas and not diesel, that returns an EPA-unfriendly estimated 3.7 miles per gallon. The Secret Service operates a fleet of 12 limos and each Beast costs $1.5 million. Lastly, AW estimates that the 18-foot-long state car weighs 15,000 pounds, and each Secret Service agent that drives the car must be specially trained to maneuver such a massive vehicle.
