1984 Brougham De Elegance Sedan Modified Pwr:fuel Injected Cadillac 425 V8 on 2040-cars
New Carlisle, Ohio, United States
First, thanks for looking. Here we have a 1984 Fleetwood Brougham De Elegance. I purchased the car from an older gentleman in Denver, CO when I lived in CO. He inherited the car from his brother who bought It new from Rickenbaugh Cadillac. It was always very well cared for and had just under 50K miles when I purchased it. The original motor was bad and I replaced it with a professionally rebuilt 425 Cadillac V-8. The original TBI was adapted to the old Cadillac manifold and the motor is powered by new Chevy 454 throttle body fuel injectors. The motor runs well and averages low teens mpg. The highest I have yet to achieve is 20 mpg on the freeway. This motor can put out an excess amount of torque/PWR such that caution must be used so as to not destroy the stock THM-200R4 transmission! This very we'll may be the only Fuel injected 4 speed/overdrive big block Cadillac Fleetwood out there! Everything works on this Cadillac as it should except that the A/C has never been charged since the motor conversion. I believe this Fleetwood has every available option for 1984 except moonroof. This is a nice one of a kind Cadillac. The paint is nearly original and has checked/faded some. All in all a super Cadillac! Please email or call with questions. I have more than a dozen cars and intend on selling a few this year. Happy bidding! The auction will not end early; no buy it now option- period.

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe
Thu, 30 Oct 2014Cadillac has become a very, very different company since the dawn of the new millenium. Its turn-of-the-century lineup, consisting of staid offerings like the Seville, DeVille and Eldorado, represented the Old Cadillac. These cars were plagued with Old GM quality issues and catered to a more elderly audience. Since the company's Art and Science design language arrived, though, we've seen Cadillac flesh out its lineup in a big way, introducing notable and (so far) enduring products, like the the CTS, SRX and most recently, the ATS.
With the CTS tackling the 5 Series segment and the SRX duking it out with the Lexus RX and its classmates, the ATS has been left with the tough task of battling the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, among others. Critically, at least, it has excelled in this role, but it's still working on finding its feet sales-wise. On paper, broadening the model range by adding a two-door personal luxury coupe could help.
After a week with the ATS Coupe, though, we've found a car that, while retaining the standard model's excellent driving character, doesn't quite offer enough visual excitement to stand up to other cars in its segment.
Cadillac's new ad campaign to tell you how to get lucky
Thu, 05 Sep 2013Cadillac is set to launch a new ad campaign this fall, as it attempts to maintain the momentum established by new models like the ATS. The campaign comes from an agency called Rogue, and according to AdAge, will lean on American values. It's called, "Work Hard. Be Lucky."
The campaign is fairly self-explanatory, just from the tagline. It's meant to make a Cadillac seem more attainable to the average, aspirational buyer. It does kind of pander to that American idea that everyone's hard work gets rewarded, but as ad campaigns go, that's not a bad thing.
Somehow, it doesn't roll off the tongue quite like "The Standard of the World." As AdAge points out, Cadillac's advertising over the years has lacked a real coherent theme, although we'll admit to enjoying the most recent campaigns, particularly the around-the-world jaunts with the ATS. It's unclear if the "Work Hard. Be Lucky." theme will evolve into an actual tagline for the brand, with Caddy spokesman Dave Caldwell telling the advertising mag, "It could very easily end up being a line of copy along with other lines; we don't really know yet. It's an open question as to how dramatically it will be featured."
Cadillac to vie for Secret Service armored car contract, new Beast?
Wed, 03 Jul 2013President Obama has used the same armored limo since his inauguration in 2008. Known by many as The Beast, the Presidential Limo was provided by Cadillac and earned its nickname in large part because of its massive size, which isn't surprising considering that its Caddy-shaped bodywork is said to sit atop a heavy-duty truck chassis.
It seems the Secret Service may be in the market for a Beast replacement, having issued a request for proposals for a new armored limo. According to Motor Trend, Obama's backup limo is a leftover from the Bush Administration, so it will be interesting to see if this new machine will serve as a replacement for The Beast or for its backup. The contract is to be awarded by September 29, 2013.
The boys from MT contacted Cadillac, Lincoln and Chrysler, and Chrysler is the only one that would confirm that it is not pursuing the contract. Cadillac may have the inside track, as it has provided Presidential limos since 1993, but Lincoln also has a long and storied history of chauffeuring the President.
