This car was bought new in Southern Oregon and has had just 3 owners.  Mechanic owned since 1995, the car has been exceptionally well cared for and always garaged. ??In the photo above you'll notice the grill medallion with the Roman numeral 14.  These "Heritage of Ownership" medallions are given to loyal Cadillac customers with a long history of new car purchases.  In this case, the original owner was awarded his 14th medallion with the purchase of this 1990 Brougham.  I've seen lots of medallions with fives and sixes, sometimes up to 10, but never to this level.  The original owner was definitely a Cadillac man.??The Brougham d'Elegance was Cadillac's top model offering for 1990 and was well optioned.  On top of that, this particular car was ordered with option code V4S, which had a specific interior trim design including tufted multi-button leather seats, three overhead assist handles, six-way power passenger seat adjuster, illuminated driver and passenger visor vanity mirrors, rear sail pane reading lights, Twilight Sentinel, power trunk lid pull-down, heated mirrors and factory alarm.  Additionally, special "Autumn Maple Firemist" paint was ordered, which was an extra cost option.  Lastly, this car features the desirable 5.7L V8, much preferred over the 5.0L powerplant.  To sum it up, this car is loaded.?? 

Finished in Autumn Maple Firemist, code 89, this car wears the color well.  The paint finish is glass smooth with excellent gloss and depth. The car has zero rust issues anywhere; this is an Oregon car, the land that rust forgot.  Tires are quality Michelin XW4's with good tread.

How GM's grueling 24-hour test gets the kinks out of its performance cars

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

One of the biggest challenges automakers face when designing a high-performance car is making sure that it is both fast and reliable. For General Motors, any car that might be taken to the track by its owner - like the Corvette, Camaro Z/28 (shown above) and the Cadillac CTS-V, for example - undergoes a rigorous and strenuous 24-hour test by engineers at the Milford Proving Grounds, as pointed out by Car and Driver.
We've posted on this topic in the past - on a video showing the Camaro ZL1 being brutalized, for instance - but this article gives a more in-depth look at what actually happens behind the scenes... including what that poor ZL1 went through. Though the test isn't for 24 hours straight, the cars are pushed as hard as possible by some of GM's best drivers with only the brakes and tires replaced frequently.
We don't want to ruin the fun for you, but it is an interesting article that tells just some of what GM does to develop its sports cars. Check out the full article over at Car and Driver for the rest of the story.

Cadillac ATS Coupe spy photos show more sedate two-door

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Remember when the Cadillac CTS Coupe debuted, and we were all like, "Oh hello there?" Well, don't expect the same thing to happen when the new ATS Coupe is unveiled - these brand new (overexposed) spy shots show a two-door that's decidedly more sedate than the angular yet curvaceous and all-around good-looking CTS Coupe. This isn't to say that the smaller Caddy Coupe won't be attractive - the four-door version is plenty pretty, to be sure - it just likely won't have that extra somethin'-somethin' to truly set it apart from the sedan.
Fine, then. We don't doubt that the two-door ATS will be just as enjoyable to drive as its sedan sibling, with a lot of the mechanical stuff likely carrying over unchanged. That includes the powertrain options, meaning buyers will be able to choose from the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four, turbocharged 2.0-liter four, or larger free-breathing 3.6-liter V6.
Look for the 2014 ATS Coupe to enter production in January of next year, meaning a reveal later this year (LA Auto Show, perhaps?) would be in order.
