1989 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham D' Elegance - 63k Miles - Executive Series on 2040-cars
Bedford, New York, United States
1989 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d' Elegance "Executive Series" 63K Original Miles - Gold Trim - Presidential Hubcaps - Padded Roof Warning: If you are a private person, and do not like added attention, or getting into conversations with strangers, then DO NOT consider this vehicle. However, if you like to bring smiles to strangers, getting thumbs up wherever your drive, (the gas station, the market, the deli), or discussing cars with people, and letting them sit in the back seat because they have never seen an interior like this one, then this just may be the car for you. This is NOT for the shy and meek! This Cadillac is the last of the great ones, done with every option that was offered in 1989. The styling is not much different than the 1977-79 Cadillacs, but it is 12 years newer. It has power everything. This was sticker priced at nearly $30K in 1989, and now has entered ANTIQUE status. This is an "Executive Series" Car that is originally from Indiana, purchased by a retired military colonel in 1989. He sold it in 2005 to a man in Pennsylvania, and I purchased it last year from him. This car has been pampered it's whole life. No pets, no kids, and the interior is proof of it. It is black with a gorgeous quilted leather burgundy interior. The color combination of black on burgundy is stunning! It is equipped with reading lamps in the rear seats. I would imagine these were the cars used in the cities as limousines. It has the words "Executive Series" written on each window of the rear doors, with black lines running down the window to ward off the sunlight. The car is in beautiful condition It has been garaged and maintained meticulously. It rides flawlessly, like a Cadillac should. When you sit in the plush leather seats, you do not want to get out. The interior is outrageous. The whole car is outrageous. The chrome, the lines, the padded roof, the gold trim, the stainless steel, the hubcaps, the lights, the accessories. It has 63K original miles, and is tight all around. It is fully equipped. Air conditioning, AM/FM cassette, power trunk, mirrors, windows, locks, seats, tilt steering, sentinel lights, cruise control, antenna. (the antenna motor works, but it turned off) That's the only thing not working currently. I play my ipod through the cassette deck, so I don't use the radio. But you can pull up the antenna by hand if you like the radio. The interior digital clock works, as well as the outside tempature gauge. All the fans work, as does the heat. The heat is REALLY good in this car. (But for some reason, you MUST press the defroster key first to get the fans working, then it's absolutely fine. HIGH MED lOW all work, but to get it going, you have to hit the defroster key first.) The car comes with its original brochure, as well as one set of true GOLD GM KEYS, to go along with all the gold trim and accents of the car. It has a V8 307 motor. It is reliable, it is strong, and it is solid. BUT.....you will not win a drag race with this car. The car is slow to accelerate with it's factory produced 140 horsepower, but it cruises. Great around town. On the highway, it floats, but yet its tight. Gas mileage --- Maybe 14 MPG around town, 18-20 on the highway. She likes GAS.....premium. You can get away with 87, but I use premium, and the person I bought it from used premium. It is the last year of the 4 headlight look, and the non-digital dashboard. It has that 70's look, but 80's interior, and modern accessories. All three lights on both sides of the top of the fenders work. One for the blinker and parking lights, one for the headlights, and the third for bright lights. It's hard to believe it is now an antique. When I am driving it, it feels pretty modern to me. A true luxury car.... But then again my other car is a 1968 Plymouth Fury. There is not a speck of rust on this car.....nothing.....straight as an arrow. Some light scratches over the years, but not visible unless you are looking for them, or waxing the car, which I have done. And when it is waxed and polished, shines like new. Most of these Fleetwoods have wire wheels. But this one has what they call "Presidential Hubcaps" I LOVE these hubcaps! I have not seen another Fleetwood Brougham with hubcaps. All the glass is perfect, lenses are perfect, and all the lights work. If you are looking for a Weekender automobile that is plush, dependable, wonderful to look at, and fun to drive, or just a show car, this is the one. I have been in a multitude of conversations with people when I drive this car. It's crazy ! Good luck bidding. I can answer any questions through email, except how much the reserve is.

Cadillac Escalade gets $10,000 discount to ward off Navigator
Mon, Apr 16 2018Cadillac is once again defending its full-size luxury Escalade SUV from assault by the hot-selling Lincoln Navigator, offering $10,000 discounts to some current customers to keep them from switching brands. The discount, reported by Bloomberg, applies to lessees of 2016 model-year Escalades, with a $7,500 discount offered to owners, through May 31. It's at least the second time GM has resorted to incentives to keep customers in its cash-cow luxury SUV since Ford launched the all-new 2018 Navigator late last year. In November, Cadillac offered a $5,000 discount on the purchase or lease of the Escalade to any buyer who traded in a 1999 or newer Lincoln model. Analysts have estimated that the Escalade produces nearly $1 billion in yearly profit for GM. Escalade sales were up 14 percent in March and 8 percent during the first quarter, with retail sales up by double-digit percentages in both periods, higher transaction prices and market share expected to climb by 2 percent year-to-date, according to GM. That's impressive for a vehicle that has received only minor updates since the current generation went on sale for 2015. While it still trails the Escalade in sales, the Navigator has been riding a 63 percent increase in deliveries this year, with new models lasting on dealer lots an average of only 10 days and average prices ballooning to $82,500, according to Bloomberg. Ford earlier this year announced it was pouring $25 million into its Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville to boost production of the Navigator and Ford Expedition. You can read Autoblog's side-by-side comparison of the 2018 Escalade and Navigator with competitors including the Lexus LX 570 and Infiniti QX80.

Cadillac CT6 loses the entry-level 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder
Mon, Apr 29 2019General Motors continues its engine rationalization among product lines. A few days after Chevrolet dropped the old-generation LTG 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the Traverse, Cadillac has jettisoned the new-gen LSY 2.0-liter turbo four from the CT6 range. Given a look at the dealer ordering system, Cadillac Society said the 2.0-liter option shows "built out" or "no longer available," and the online configurator at the Cadillac site confirms the omission. The retired engine can be had in the XT4 crossover, rated at the same 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This means a couple of things for the big sedan. The CT6 entry price was $50,495 before destination, but fitted with the now-base 3.6-liter six-cylinder, the entry price has gone up to $55,495. The other change is that rear-wheel drive is no longer available; the three remaining engine choices come with all-wheel drive. Those engines are the NA 3.6-liter V6 with 335 hp and 284 lb-ft of torque, a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with 404 hp and 400 lb-ft, and coming in a few months, the detuned 4.2-liter Blackwing twin-turbo V8 with 500 hp and 574 lb-ft, down from 550 hp and 627 lb-ft. Cadillac Society thinks one of the possibilities for making the move could be that GM is having a hard time meeting demand for the 2.0-liter. That might be, but we think no matter the reason, the result puts more logical pricing between the midsize CTS/CT5 and the full-size luxury flagship. We don't know how Cadillac will price the coming CT5, but there's now an $8,005 difference between the CTS and the CT6, instead of the $4,000 gap when the 2.0-liter was a CT6 option. Mercedes-Benz, for instance, puts a $12,000 gap between the C-Class and the E-Class, a $38,000 gulf between the E-Class and the S-Class. There's a $19,000 difference between an Audi A4 and A6, a $25,000 difference between an A6 and an A8. It isn't clear if this will affect every other market where the CT6 is sold. The Canadian, Mexican, and French Cadillac site configurators don't list the 2.0-liter turbo, but the Chinese Cadillac site does.
Recharge Wrap-up: Cadillac CT6 Plug-In on sale in China, Oregon utilities spur EV adoption
Fri, Dec 30 2016The Cadillac CT6 Plug-In is now available in China. The luxury plug-in hybrid sedan uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine plus two electric motors, which give the car a 0-62 mph time of 5.4 seconds. Its liquid-cooled 18.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack gives the car an all-electric range of 50 miles, with a total range of 581 miles. Cadillac offers a 200V charger with the CT6 Plug-In, which provides a full charge in less than five hours. Owners can check charging status remotely using OnStar or the MyCadillac app. The CT6 Plug-In is offered in two variants, priced at about $80,400 and $94,800. Read more from GM. Two Oregon utilities are launching a program to increase EV adoption. Portland General Electric (PGE) will build six charging locations, each with up to four dual-standard fast chargers. PGE will also build and operate charging sites for electric buses, freeing up money for Portland's TriMet transit agency to spend on the actual buses. Pacific Power will also build public EV chargers, and lower some electricity rates for operators. Both companies will also work to inform the public about the benefits of electric mobility. Oregon utilities are required to stop using coal by 2030, and use 50 percent renewable energy by 2040, which will make EVs even cleaner. Read more at Green Car Reports. Continental says a shift to EVs will cost its company jobs. The automotive parts supplier's CEO, Elmar Degenhart, says that while the company will need to cut production jobs, those will be offset at least in part by the creation of new positions related to electric mobility. "There is enough time to design the process such that the blow is softened and major pain can be avoided," says Degenhart. Some 30,000 jobs at Continental are tied to combustion engines.
