You are viewing the king of luxury "barge cars" of the early 1970's.  A 1973  CADILLAC FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM.  Nothing was longer or heavier - not Lincoln or Imperial of that era.  The only car in standard production which was larger, was the Cadillac series 75 (which was the commerical chassis for ambulances, herses, and limousines.)  If you owned a Fleetwood Brougham sedan, it was a status symbol in American culture before the downsizing and fuel crisis that soon followed.

The interior of the car is a must see.  No cracks, sun-fading, rips, tears, dents, or stains.  Car has been garage kept most all of its life.   The interior is olive green leather  with embroidery (...goovy).  Carpeting is all original, thick, with no stains.  The rear seat passengers have carpeted leg rests - a feature only found on the Fleetwoods.  All electrics operate on the car - power windows, locks, and the driver's six-way power seat.   The front seat is a split 60/40 design.    All interior lights work including the reading lights on the "C Panel".  What does not work is the power antenna (maybe a wire).

Original rubber (color correct) floor mats with the Cadillac crest come with the car.   The gold vinyl roof is all original and is superior!  The exterior paint is the original factory Phoenix Gold Firemist with maintained areas (an extra charge option back then).  So The flanks of the car are good as are the horizontal surfaces.  The very hard-to-find plastic fender fillers (1973 was the first model year for these due to the Federal Government mandate of 5 mph bumpers, which this car has)  are all there.

Air conditioning is R12.  Blower is strong, and the air conditioning does blow super cold air.   The caddy built 472 engine is strong coupled to a massive Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission which does have a very slow leak.  It is not enough to have the seal changed.   

Underneath is excellant with NO RUST.  Engine does not burn oil.  No smoke from exhaust.  No rust in the trunk with all of the original trunk carpeting including an original Cadillac rubber trunk mat.

I have owned this car since November of 2008 and I love it, but must sell it for room.   I have had it garage kept.   I have rebuilt the quadrajet carb and upgraded the exhaust with new muffler and tailpipes. removed all ca smog equip and have installed a custom bypass pulley.      This piece of equipment is unique.  The front is stunning!   The Fleetwood standard hood stand-up Cadillac wreathed crest is missing.   Talk about over the top...  anybody looking at this monster rolling up behind them on the highway will take notice!

I have the original window sticker with all of the original factory installed options.  Plus additional original brochures from 1973.  Included with the sale of the car will be a nice softback book about Cadillacs.  What a great package of Cadillac nostalgia for the Cadillac enthusiest.  

The car will be sold with the brochures and hardback book.   I am requesting only serious bidders for this car.  If you are knowledgable about this era of American cars - this is an outstanding example for you to consider.   The car does need to be restored to be able to say its a "10".   -  but....this would be an easy restoration job, with hardly any work to be done on the interior and some work on the exterior.   No re-chroming needed.   Come see this car and what AMERICAN ENGINEERING was all about.  

There was only 24,800 Fleetwoods made in 1973.   Only the 1973 models have the unique "beaver tail" rear end bumper.  Starting in 1974, these vehicles had a restyle keeping the same dimensions.  Few 1973's are on the road today.  This one is very driveable today and a head turner AS IS.

Vehicle was valued at @ $8000.00 + one year ago.   I  have no reserve on the price!! I have salvage title to this vehicle due a tow yard two owners ago.  Buyer is responsible for pick-up and transportation/shipping.  There is no reserve to be met on this Ebay auction.  Car is located in California.  

(!!!!!!! NO RESERVE !!!!!!!)

If you have any questions - please feel free to contact me.   HAPPY BIDDING !

Combative de Nysschen defends Cadillac move, naming change

Mon, 29 Sep 2014


Johan de Nysschen isn't afraid of taking quick, decisive actions, even if they are criticized. Since taking the wheel at Cadillac, he instigated moving the luxury division's base of operations to Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood and introduced a new naming scheme for the future of the brand, like he did at Infiniti. The polarizing boss recently explained his feelings about the future of Cadillac in more depth on his Facebook page, but unfortunately only his friends could read it. Thankfully, Daily Kanban posted much of the strongly worded missive for the whole world to see.
Much of the message examines the decision to move some employees to New York. De Nysschen claims that it's all about giving Cadillac distance from Detroit to reshape itself. It allows for, "No distractions. No side shows. No cross-brand corporate considerations. No homogenized lowest common denominator approach. Just pure, unadulterated, CLASS."

Off-road Cadillac Escalade adds some extra bush country capability

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

So, you're a dyed-in-the-wool General Motors fan, but like the notion of a machine like the Hennessey Velociraptor. We have good news for you. Behold the Aria Coachworks XPLORE Cadillac Escalade. For a modest fee, Aria will outfit your Escalade with a custom suspension, BF Goodrich all-terrain tires wrapped around aluminum wheels, a Warn winch and a special exhaust. There's even a snorkel option for those of you with aspirations toward deep water crossings. Consider yourself warned, however: unlike other GMT900 SUVs, the Cadillac only has an all-wheel drive system, not the more rugged four-wheel drive setup of the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon). Outside, the luxury SUV gets matte paint, black chrome trim, XPLORE power running boards and a roof rack system.
The interior also receives a few fun changes as well, but we're more interested in the fact that buyers can snag a power roof top tent. You know, in case you need to camp out at Best Buy for the PS4. There's also a matching camp trailer and, our personal favorite, a matching BMW GS motorcycle. Bikes not your bag of tricks? That's fine. Aria will also sell you a matched Airstream trailer or Old Town wooden canoes. As much as we want to hate this, we love the notion of bashing through the woods in a $100,000 Cadillac battlewagon with our GS in tow. Check the press release below for more information.
