***1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, 2-owners, 39k Original Miles, What A Ride!! on 2040-cars
Wakefield, Massachusetts, United States
1966 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM TWO OWNERS 39,654 ACTUAL MILES The car has a neat history. The original owner was a man named William F. Powell from Philadelphia who got the title on 8-22-66. One of the cool things is a book suggesting service visits in which he noted the mileage on visits for the first couple of years. (I think it's in the glovebox). He put on VERY few miles. He sold it on 12-24-88 to a car dealer (probably a trade in) Auto World in Gathersburg Maryland. It had 26, 277 miles on it, meaning he had driven just over 1,100 miles per year. Auto World transferred it to a dealer in Springfield, MD - Motor City Auto Sales on 4-30-89. It had 26,690 miles on it. The current owner bought it on 6-20-92 with 26,815 miles on it, making him the 2nd registered owner. Over the past 20 years, he brought it up to about 39,600 miles or about 600 miles per year. I have all of this documented. It was an original paint car up until it was hit in the rear of the car 14 years ago by a neighbor. The car was painted completely, and the roof was all re-done. It does have some minor rust starting from water trickling down the vinyl roof behind the rear windows. This will need to be dealt with eventually, but most people don't even notice it, but I wanted to disclose it. It's also missing the lettering on the right side - F L E E T W O O D. At some point water had leaked into the trunk damaging the trunk liner, but you can find reproduction trunk liners now. The red/organe cloring you see in the trunk is NOT RUST it's the red oxide primer coating under the paint, the trunk is rock solid. The interior is nearly perfect, including the original floor mats. The wood has some staining. The front vent window gears were replaced, they weren't available for the rear vents. (It has 8 electric windows!) I just had a new muffler put on it recently. It has rear air shocks, I'd replace the back springs. The car runs great, it's tight, and fun to drive. It has almost all options, except cruise, rear window defogger and heated seats. I have a cruise control someone could add. I also have the rear window defogger blower, etc that someone could add. I also will include two extra wheel covers, a headlight bezel, and a couple of other small parts. I think the cruise control and defogger cost me about $500 combined when I bought them. So, that's the history. It was the top of the line Cadillac with the exception of the Limousines, and is similar in some ways to the Eldorado convertible for 1966.

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad
Fri, 05 Jul 2013European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.
Steve Carlisle replaces Johan de Nysschen as head of Cadillac
Wed, Apr 18 2018Johan de Nysschen, a longtime automotive industry executive, is out the door at Cadillac after four years at the helm of GM's flagship luxury brand. Steve Carlisle will replace de Nysschen as General Motors senior vice president and president, Cadillac. Carlisle previously served as president and managing director of GM Canada. Travis Hester will replace Carlisle in that role, starting immediately. "We appreciate Johan's efforts over the last four years in setting a stronger foundation for Cadillac," said General Motors President Dan Ammann. That strong foundation is mostly seen overseas. Cadillac has seen record sales in China under de Nysschen's watch, but has continued to flounder in its home market of the United States with market share significantly lower than rival brands like Audi, BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz. Growth in the U.S. market is mostly happening with crossovers and SUVs, and Cadillac has been trailing its German and Japanese rivals on that front. The brand-new XT4 is seen as a big potential sales booster for the automaker, but its late arrival has already hurt the brand's sales figures here in America. "Looking forward, the world is changing rapidly, and, beginning with the launch of the new XT4, it is paramount that we capitalize immediately on the opportunities that arise from this rate of change," said Ammann. "This move will further accelerate our efforts in that regard." Carlisle will report directly to Ammann in his role as the head of the Cadillac brand. Related Video:
Cadillac considering more radical ATS-V
Tue, May 5 2015Cadillac is stepping up its performance game with the launch of the new ATS-V and CTS-V, but it's not about to rest on the laurels it removed from its own badge. While it's tipped to launch additional V models in the future, the latest word is Caddy could also come out with an even more extreme version of the ATS-V in the near future. According to Car and Driver, the prospect is on the table: "We might have something down the road that is a little bit more aggressive," chief engineer Dave Leone said, while another source pegged its potential arrival for 2017. It's too early to say what would constitute the more extreme model. The magazine points toward the Mercedes-AMG Black Series as an example. Jaguar took a similarly extreme approach with the XKR-S GT, as BMW has with the M3 GTS. As it is, the ATS-V is offered in both coupe and sedan variants with a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 464 horsepower channeled to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual. Cadillac reportedly considered employing a dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive, but went the old-school route to avoid excess weight and (no doubt) cost.
