1990 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Base Sedan 4-door 5.7l on 2040-cars

Lebanon, Missouri, United States

If you want to turn heads,  this car will certainly do it!  This is rolling on 20" knockoff wire spoke wheels and has bull horns that go from fender to fender.  The window tint is new and in good shape.   This 1990 Cadillac Brougham has the factory fuel injected 5.7 engine.  The motor runs reliably with no check engine lights.  The transmission runs and shifts properly with no flaring shifts or issues.  This car has brand-new Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks on the front and rear and also has new rear springs.  The tires are good on the front and rear and don't have any leaks.  The front tread is around 75% rear tread is around 50%.  The car rides and handles surprisingly well.  It gets 20-22 mpg on the highway.  I drive it regularly on my 60 mile round trip to work and have not had any problems with it over the last year.  Most of the gizmo's still work on the car, Cruise control, Twilight Sentinel, Cassette Deck, Locks, Windows,  etc. 

 The Bad:  The climate control head needs to be replaced.   The blend door and fan work and the AC compressor is a remanufactured unit.  These climate control heads are about $30 at the scrap yards, and literally only take about 2-3 minutes to change.  I just haven't run across a 90-92 Brougham in the junkyard since it quit working last fall.  The vinyl top has lots of small cracks and discoloration.  Two of the doors have an approximately 2" spot bubbling up around the body side molding, this is a typical issue from GM cars of this era.   I have not seen any apparent rust issues with the rest of the car except on those doors,  The floor pans, rockers, quarters, fenders don't have any apparent rust.  Both front arm-rests are cracked, which is a common issue with these cars and you can get reproduction ones.  The headliner is pinned up into place.   

I have a factory GM shop manual for this car that will be included.  The lead-hammer and spanner wrench for the wheel spinners is included, and I have the stock wheels and tires that you can take if you want them.

This car is a TON of fun, and these Brougham's seem to be getting more rare and valuable, but I simply have too many cars right now to even maintain them all.  This car isn't perfect, but I will say that it has been a fun, reliable car that hasn't had a lot of hack-job repairs or jury-rigged wiring under the hood or dash.  It wouldn't be a difficult car to restore if you wanted a nice Brougham, but it's also great if you want something nice enough to have fun with but you won't have to worry about every nick and scratch.

 

You can see an in-car video of this fine car on youtube.  My user name on Youtube is hasty1982, you'll be able to find it in my videos.

Cadillac CTS-V gets Stealth Blue and Silver Frost limited edition models

Fri, 15 Feb 2013

A little more than a year and a half ago, former weekend editor Alex Nunez and I were talking about how sweet it would be for Cadillac to offer a CTS-V in the Corvette's Supersonic Blue paint, and as if General Motors eavesdropped on our conversation, this showed up. And while the Stealth Blue car you see here isn't an exact duplicate of the hot-looking sedan GM showed off in prototype form, it's really close. And really sweet.
New for 2013, the Cadillac CTS range gets two new colorful editions, starting with the Stealth Blue package available on the CTS-V (in sedan, coupe and wagon bodystyles) as well as the naturally aspirated CTS coupe. In addition to the unique paint, blacked-out grille and dark satin wheels, Stealth Blue cars can also be done up with an optional Twilight Blue leather interior. (And you thought blue-on-blue color schemes died in the '90s.)
Cadillac is also offering a new Silver Frost package, but it's a bit more exclusive. Only 100 examples will be built, all in CTS-V Coupe form. The Silver Frost paint is a low-gloss matte finish, in that while it technically has a clearcoat covering, it's reduced in a way that the surface still appears flatter than standard paint. Even so, Cadillac states that the car should be hand-washed only.

2014 Cadillac CTS configurator open for business

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Cadillac has just set the new configurator for the redesigned, 2014 CTS live. While we've already tested out the new CTS, this is our first chance to play with all the interior and exterior color options and to get a fair idea of the price. The new CTS covers a broad swath from the $46,025 base model, with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, to the $59,995 VSport, complete with its brawny, 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6.
It doesn't take much to send the CTS's price up from there, though. Opt for the VSport Premium trim, and the price immediately jumps $10,000. Opting for one of the premium paint colors is all that's needed to nudge the CTS past $70,000. For reference, a 556-horsepower CTS-V (previous-generation, naturally) starts at $64,515.

Cadillac ATS Crimson Sport Edition is here for a limited run

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

The Cadillac ATS has been a well-received entry into the small sport sedan segment for General Motors' premium brand, but keeping the model fresh is an understandably high priority. A two-door coupe variant is on the way and should help keep interest up, but the line's volume leader is still expected to be the sedan. In order to keep awareness high and sales going, GM will need to lavish a little attention on its four-door, as well. That's where the Crimson Sport Edition comes in.
Crimson Red Metallic paint is the exterior highlight for this special-edition Cadillac, while the interior is complemented with a number of microsuede touchpoints, including the heated steering wheel and shifter. To this point, the car's rich burgundy finish has only been offered on CTS-V Coupe and Sport Wagon models, and brand spokesperson Donny Nordlicht tells Autoblog that this is the first time that the company has offered a microsuede wheel with heat. Four interior trims are also available, although all have been seen previously.
The Crimson Sport will be limited to production this spring, and the trimmings can be added to either the 2.0T Performance or the V6 Premium specifications. Both rear- and all-wheel drive will be available, as well. Prices start at $46,010 for the turbocharged model and $51,010 for the V6 including destination fees, which represents a premium of $2,990 for the extra equipment.
