this is a little out of my realm but what a fabulous original car it is. the body is ABSOLUTELY SOLID AS A ROCK and it is just oh so arrow straight with amazingly original solid black leather interior. and it is ABSOLUTELY LOADED WITH OPTIONS. ok here goes with the list.
FACTORY DISC BRAKES (see the original factory window sticker) TILT AND TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN. POWER TRUNK RELEASE WITH AUTOMATIC PULL DOWN. 2 SPEED REAR DEFROST. LIMITED SLIP AXLE. DOOR EDGE GUARDS. ORIGINAL CADILLAC FLOOR MATS. POWER VENT WINDOWS IN ALL 4 DOORS. POWER WINDOWS. POWER DOOR LOCKS. SELF SEEKING AM / FM RADIO. POWER ANTENNA. SIX WAY POWER SEAT. REAR FOLD DOWN FOOT RESTS. LEATHER STORAGE POCKETS BUILT INTO THE SEAT BACK. 'TWI-LIGHT SENTINEL.' GUIDE-MATIC HEAD LIGHT DIMMER. 4, YES 4 FACTORY HORNS! AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL CRUISE CONTROL. REAR AIR SHOCKS. REMOTE CONTROL DRIVERS DOOR MIRROR. FRONT AND REAR SEAT BELTS. the mileage put on the car by the first owner, mrs. bruton, was 51,324 and the second owner only put 462 miles on the old girl in 5 years! the car has always lived in the wonderful and wealthy city of charlottesville virginia. and this old car really does run GREAT! and she starts up instantly hot or stone cold and idles very smoothly. the vin is P8181765. she was bought new on january the twelve 1968 by mrs. roy v.bruton at peyton cadillac in charlottesville virginia for $9,111.80. i have a copy of the ORIGINAL title and i have CLEAR TITLE FROM THE 2nd OWNER IN HAND. i also have the original keys are with the car in the original selling dealers leather key fob, stamped PEYTON CADILLAC. how cool is that. to see OVER 300 MORE PICTURES OF 'CHARLOTTE' go to the FLICKR photo sharing site and type 1968 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM CHARLOTTE into the search engine and the 300+ PICTURES will come up. the old car can be driven around the yard and onto a trailer but she has been off the road just long enough that you would want to check everything over before taking her out on the highway and getting up to speed. the FACTORY DISC BRAKES work but i think a good bleed of the entire brake system would be a good idea. the tires are about 80% and the exhaust is quiet and looks to be an original cadillac system. she does not run at all hot even if left idling for long periods and the A/C clutch kicks in fine but the system needs a charge. the power seat works, the door locks works, the radio comes on and hums but does`nt want to pick up a station. i think there is a problem with the antenna connection. the antenna works fine from the radio push / pull button but the mast is broken right at the bottom. the power trunk release and pull down work great. none of the power windows work at all so i`m thinking it must be a fuse which i will check out. i will report what i find here on ebay. there is a pretty bad power steering leak, it comes out as fast as you put it in kind of leak. it is dripping from the middle of the front cross member so it must be a hose. the turn signal switch only stays on in one position, the other way you have to hold it. the tilt and tele steering column works great and the horns are amazing, talk about loud, LOL. all the glass is perfect and the area where the vinyl top meets the upper quarter panel`s is really solid, heavy surface rust but thats it. obviously the old girl needs a new top and paint but the whole body is oh so straight with only one really small ding in the drivers door down low, it was probably opened onto something and it will be a very easy ding to repair. the under side of the hood is excellent but the little trims that come down from the hood lip and meet the chrome lip molding are missing, weird. the lip of the trunk lid where it meets the body is excellent also and the only real area with any corrosion is the little channel that holds the rubber trunk gasket on the drivers side. the gasket is still surprisingly supple and soft. ALL THE 4 FLOOR PANS & TRUNK PAN ARE EXCELLENT! the floors are as solid as the day they were made! the old car still has her original jack, lug wrench, wooden chock and spare tire cover but there is no spare wheel or tire. when we took the fender skirts off we found everything behind them to be as solid as the rest of the car. the skirts themselves are also excellent and all the lower body moldings are in truly great condition. for microcar lovers this has to be what amounts to the holy grail of barn finds, it truly is in unbelievably good condition. any inspection is welcome and encouraged, no disappointments at all with this fantastic little van. once again the VIN # is P8181765 and i have CLEAR TITLE IN HAND. now the nitty gritty. i require full payment in 3 days by cash in person or bank to bank wire transfer no other form of payment will be accepted, end of story. if you cannot abide by these very simple terms then do not bid. my feedback is over 380 and 100% positive, check it out. i will gladly ship anywhere in the world. oversea`s shipping is no problem at all. charleston port is 4 hours east of me and i have sent antique cars over sea`s before and know exactly what is involved. if you need a shipping quote to anywhere in the world just email me. if you would like to see OVER 300 MORE PICTURES go to the FLICKR photo sharing site and type 1968 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM CHARLOTTE into the search engine and the 300+ PICTURES will come up. you may also call my cell on 864 616 6860 before 10 pm eastern standard time to discuss the car. the shipping service to england and mainland europe drive on / drive off is approximately $850 and if you put her in a 20 foot container its $2250 give or take a little. a 40 foot container is $2850 if you have other things you want shipped in with the car. i can arrange whatever suits your needs and shipping time is 11 to 13 days depending on where its going. obviously prices can vary a little depending on the exchange rate on the day but as of this writing, 10/31/2013 the prices stated are a safe bet. for a quote to Australia or anywhere in Asia please drop me a line. likewise if you want a shipping quote within the United States just give me a call. thank you all and good luck. |

Cadillac ATS-V and Mercedes-AMG C63 S pitted Head to Head
Fri, Sep 4 2015Our favorite (and only) Autoblog-alum-turned-Motor Trend staffer is back with another Head to Head video, this time pitting the Cadillac ATS-V with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S. This performance machine shootout is ostensibly a way to figure out which of these new super sedans will earn the right to go toe-to-toe with the undisputed champion of its segment, the BMW M3. In reality, it's just a really good excuse to put three of the hottest sedans on the market on video at the same time... and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Jonny Lieberman spends time in each of the two new challengers on the road, picking apart their powertrains, chassis and driving dynamics on the kinds of twisty roads drivers of these cars will relish. Then, he hands the keys off to Randy Pobst, who sort of acts as an unmasked version of a certain tame racing driver, except that he talks and has a personality. 0-60 and quarter-mile times are equated, braking performance is measured and scores are tallied before the two sport sedans end up at Willow Springs raceway. Interestingly enough, the car that proves (just slightly) faster at the race track isn't the car that wins the comparison. Curious? We're not going to spoil it for you. Check out the video, above. Then, for more action of these two machines, check out the videos just below.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
