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. |

Liberace's gilded Cadillac could be yours
Tue, 27 Aug 2013With their chrome grilles and oversized wheels, it's hard not to notice a Cadillac these days. But this one is even more blingtastic on account of the 23.75-karat gold-leaf bodywork.
The 1931 Cadillac Golfer's Drop Head Coupé is said to have belonged to the inimitable performer Liberace, who didn't just have it covered in gold - he also had the exterior door handles plated in silver and the inside handles in 24-karat gold as well. It's also got a white leather interior and headlights that - well ahead of their time (if you'll pardon us, Mr. Tucker) - pivot with the steering wheel. All that bling is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission that pales in comparison to the seven, eight and even nine-speed gearboxes appearing on luxury sedans today.
The project was undertaken over the course of three years in the 1970s by one Jack Smith from Kansas. Smith (if that was his real name) sold it at auction in 1975, and it was most recently displayed for 12 years at a museum in Germany which claimed it was Liberace's own. The car is now going up for sale by Barons' at the Sandown Park horse racing track in Surrey, England, on September 17, when bidding starts at 85,000 pounds - equivalent to over $130,000 at today's rates.
2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6 AWD
Wed, 27 Feb 2013All-Wheel, All Right
There is no escaping the luxury all-wheel drive empire Audi has built for itself over the past 15 years. While nearly every high-end marque has at least one offering with power at all four corners, the hardware can't help but play second fiddle to Ingolstadt's Quattro kingdom. Leather-lined all-wheel drive is simply Audi the way minimum wage is an English degree. But General Motors seems hell-bent on raiding as many established fiefdoms as possible with the 2013 Cadillac ATS. Engineers and designers made no secret of the fact that the baby Cadillac was penned specifically to take on the BMW 3 Series, but Audi should be no less concerned about the newest luxury prince from Detroit.
GM has been stuffing all-wheel drive systems under their vehicles for years, but the effort hasn't come without nasty side effects. Unfortunate understeer, extra ride height, smallish wheels and porky curb weight meant opting for all-wheel drive was like signing your driving pleasure's death warrant. Would you like polished brass or brushed nickel hardware for your right foot's coffin, sir?
Cadillac's Butler announces surprise departure
Mon, 05 Aug 2013The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Cadillac's vice president of global strategic development, Don Butler, has resigned. Butler has held the position since April, after a term as vice president of US marketing for General Motor's luxury brand.
As the report explains, the timing here is pretty unfortunate for Cadillac. Butler is the third high-profile member of Cadillac's brass to depart in recent months, following the firing of US sales boss Chase Hawkins and the pending departure of Susan Docherty. Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell told the Detroit paper, "Bob [Ferguson]," global boss for Cadillac, "and other leaders asked him to stay on. Don's here in the office today - and told our team that his decision is purely on a personal level. After three years of putting everything into Cadillac, he is stepping away for some personal time, and to consider new avenues in his life."
Butler says his decision is part of a decision to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities." Whatever the reason, it's an unpleasant surprise for Cadillac, which has been on a surge in 2013, with 30-percent jump in sales on the heels of the hot-selling ATS.
