 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.

Watch the 2014 Cadillac CTS get its groove on in the rain

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

In case you haven't got enough of the 2014 Cadillac CTS that just debuted at the New York Auto Show, Cadillac has let us have some rolling footage of the car around its test track along with a few words from VP of marketing Don Butler and executive director of design Mark Adams.
You won't learn much more about its 420-horsepower, twin-turbo V6 but you can hear how it growls in the rain, and you can get a better idea of how you'll look in the driver's seat giving it a workout. That's got to be worth something, right? You'll find both videos just below.

Cadillac confirms CT8/CT9 flagship, ELR successor

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

Cadillac has certainly been a hot topic as of late, what with Johan de Nysschen now running the joint, moving its headquarters to New York, and overhauling the company's naming structure (only to later publicly defend all of these drastic decisions). Now, looking ahead, de Nysschen is already revealing some details about what's in store for the future, including a raft of new products that include a large, long-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz S-Class rival positioned above the recently announced CT6, along with a successor to the slow-selling ELR coupe.
In an interview with Reuters, de Nysschen says his company has "just signed off on" a new flagship tipped to be called CT8 or CT9. It will compete with the long-wheelbase versions of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series, and should come to market by the end of this decade.
Among other news, the South African executive said a followup to the ELR plug-in hybrid is in development, though it may not be a two-door coupe like the current car. That's not necessarily a bad thing, since the ELR has garnered nothing but slow sales and poor reviews since its launch.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
