Up for Auction is a custom built one of a kind 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood open top Limousine I have had in my collection for a few years that was originally built for the U.S. Secret Service as a follow up car by S&S Coachbuilders.  Same coachbuilders that worked with Cadillac on the Clinton Armored Presidential Limousines.  It is very unique with three openings in the roof for riders to stand up and view everything around them.   

This vehicle started its life as a rear wheel drive Cadillac Fleetwood Sedan.  This is the last year of the rear wheel drive Fleetwood Cadillac.

FEAUTURES: 

It was stretched 48 inches in the middle behind the driver doors. The rear compartment is double the size of a factory sedan.  It has a rear facing middle seat and two middle doors with concealed door handles in the frame and no exterior door handles. The middle exterior looks like a standard limousine with no door handles.  Hidden openers are in the front driver and passenger door frame.

The most unique feature of this limousine is its roof and rear compartment.  The roof is steel reinforced and has three cut outs for people to stand up in and stick there head (and weapons out).   One opening is narrow and above the driver compartment.  The rear compartment has two huge openings (see pictures) with grab handles in between.  The roof is finished in vinyl and it is like new.  It also has a snap on black canvas cover if weather is inclement.  That can be folded up and put in the trunk when not in use. 

 This vehicle was built under specifications by the Secret Service and delivered in 1995 and decommissioned right after 9-11 because it is NOT armored.  They went to all armored SUVS as follow up cars.    After that it was used at their training center as a training vehicle.  

I bought it from a dealer in PA in 2012.   

I had it repainted, new carpet, new headliner, new vinyl top.  Rest was perfect.  This is a gorgeous ride and would be awesome in someone's collection.  Or to promote a business, weekend touring, site seeing, charity promotions, vineyard tours, city tours, historic tours, a real estate business and of course parades. OR what i use it for just cruising to car shows and driving on sunny weekends. You can fit six people in the back compartment comfortably.

In case it rains there is a snap on black canvas weatherized top that covers the entire roof.  

 Everything is perfect and looks like new.  Has brand new chrome emblems all around and Cadillac marker lights on the sail panel.  Grab handles are on the roof in case you want to stand up and much more.  

THIS IS A HEAD TURNER. You will NEVER see another one pull up next to you and this one is in mint condition.

THIS VEHICLE HAS just 46K miles on it!!!! THAT IS RIGHT JUST 46 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES. Mechanically for the gear heads, this Cadillac came from the factory with the formidable Corvette LT-1   V-8 Engine and matched automatic transmission which Cadillac borrowed from Chevrolet to give unbelievable power to this huge rear wheel drive car. This model is the last rear wheel drive model Cadillac built. The engine is the same engine as the Corvette of this year. Power is unreal and the ride is incredible.

All the chrome on the vehicle is showroom new. The exterior features lighted flag stands on the front fenders. All badging is brand new chrome because when we got it had none on it. There are a total of six doors that open but the middle doors have no door handles for a clean and finished limousine look.

INTERIOR DESCRIPTION

The front driver’s compartment is finished in original black leather and it is in very good shape with no rips or tears. The front interior has perfect and original leather and original carpet and mats in excellent condition.   The car looks new inside and out with all original gauges, AC and everything works.  There is a high power air conditioning system for the rear with vents along the roof line.

These are the fastest-selling new cars of 2024

Thu, Apr 25 2024

Automakers finally appear to be back on their feet after a few years of severe instability, but that hasn’t helped all of them in the sales department. iSeeCars recently released its study on the fastest- and slowest-selling new vehicles and found that some companies are moving vehicles off dealersÂ’ lots at more than twice the pace of others. Toyota was the fastest-selling new car brand between October 2023 and March 2024, moving vehicles in an average of 39.6 days. Surprisingly, Alfa Romeo came second, averaging 41.8 days on the market. Last year, we saw a list of the fastest-selling individual nameplates overall, as opposed to this study that's ranked by brand. Fastest-selling new cars of 2024 Toyota: 39.6 days on the market Alfa Romeo: 41.8 Cadillac: 43.4 Honda: 44.2 Jaguar: 44.4 Kia: 47 Hyundai: 47.1 Subaru: 49 BMW: 49.1 Mazda: 53.1 The brands moving inventory the fastest show a strong value and desirability for buyers. iSeeCars executive analyst Karl Brauer noted, “Fast-selling brands like Toyota and Honda represent mainstream consumers seeking maximum value for their new-car dollar. Conversely, high-ranking luxury, low-volume brands like Alfa Romeo, Cadillac, and Jaguar reflect both their limited supply as well as high demand from affluent buyers willing to snap these models up shortly after they arrive on dealer lots.” Of course, there is no light without darkness, and on the other side of the list are a handful of brands struggling to move inventory. Lincoln was the slowest-selling new car company, with an average of 82.6 days to sell. Infiniti was close behind at 79.8 days, and Buick took an average of 79 days to move units. iSeeCars noted that new EVs take much longer to sell than their hybrid counterparts, at an average of 70.6 days on the market in March 2024, compared to just 49.5 for hybrids. Some of the fast-selling new brands also made the used car list. Used Hondas sold the fastest, only sitting on dealersÂ’ lots for an average of 26.1 days. LexusÂ’ used cars sat for 26.3 days, and Toyota moved its used inventory in an average of 27.4 days. By the Numbers Green Alfa Romeo Cadillac Toyota Car Buying

Consumer Reports loves the 2014 Cadillac CTS

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Our first drive of the 2014 Cadillac CTS was just published today... we really liked the Vsport version. And Consumer Reports has some even stronger words of praise for the all-new luxury sedan. We already knew that Cadillac had stepped up its game with the third-gen CTS, but CR bluntly states that the sedan drives better than its German luxury counterparts.
While CR shows plenty of love for the new CTS, the outlet still takes issue with some of the in-car technology including the CUE infotainment system - no surprise there. The testers' offer all manner of positive comments where the impressive handling capabilities of the sedan are concerned, with lots of drifting around CR's private test facility in evidence to bear them out. Scroll down to watch the CTS get put through its paces.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
