1986 Fleetwood Brougham.  Car is really straight, the paint is pretty good but has had paint work on portions of the car at different times, so there are some noticeable color matching issues.  This car has had ALL of the bumper fillers replaced on it within the last year, so you won't have to worry about that issue for another 20+ years, or pay hundreds of dollars to replace them because they all crack on these cars eventually. The top has some splits in the vinyl, but there is no bulging anywhere that would indicate rust issues underneath whatsoever.  This car seems to have spent almost all of its life parked inside a garage, there are no signs of sun-fading on the interior and even the window sweeps are crack free.  

The interior is really nice.  The carpet looks almost like new, the seats are in good shape and don't have any rips or cracks. The dash doesn't have a single crack anywhere.  Both front arm rests have minor cracks, but the car will include a replacement arm rest for the passenger side.  The headliner is pinned up into place.  This car has the Delco/Bose stereo and it sounds surprisingly good.

The climate control unit works great, the heat and defrost work good.  The AC cycles, so it's probably low on refrigerant, and it uses R-12, so it would probably be wise to convert to 134-A instead of paying a fortune for R-12 to fix and fill it.

Mechanically this car runs great and gets 23-24mpg on the highway.  The engine doesn't smoke and runs smoothly and pulls cleanly.  The transmission shifts and runs perfectly with no flaring shifts or problems.  The front suspension and steering are really tight, all of the ball joints and steering components are free of slack.  The shocks are noticeably worn, so it "floats" a little, but it tracks and drives really straight.  The tires are around 50%, but are beginning to show some cracking from age.  They are drivable, but showing their age.  I have driven this car on a 400 mile round trip within the last year, so I wouldn't be worried to drive it anywhere.

The odometer reads 4,xxx miles.  My title says "Mileage Exempt" and the prior owner bought the car about 13 years ago, so I doubt there is any carfax information out there, but I haven't looked it up.  If the odometer said this were a 60k mile car it would be easily believable.

Overall this car is a really straight and original car that is reliable to drive.  It would be a great car to restore because most of the expensive stuff is there and in good shape and it doesn't have rust issues.  I am only selling it because I simply have too many projects right now.

Thanks for looking!

2020 Cadillac XT6 earns IIHS Top Safety Pick award

Wed, Dec 4 2019

The 2020 Cadillac XT6 luxury three-row crossover has proven to be plenty competent on the road, and now it turns out to have impressive performance in crash tests. The IIHS recently tested the big Caddy and gave it a Top Safety Pick award. It just missed out on the highest Top Safety Pick + rating because of headlight performance. In every single crash test, the XT6 earned the highest "Good" rating for passenger protection. Both the standard and optional forward collision prevention systems also received the highest "Superior" ratings, and they were both able to bring the car to a stop before colliding with another vehicle at speeds up to 25 mph. The one area it didn't earn top marks was with headlights, which were rated "Acceptable," the second-highest score. Though it doesn't factor into the Top Safety Pick criteria, the IIHS also rated the child seat LATCH anchor access "Acceptable." Among three-row luxury crossovers, there are three others that have the Top Safety Pick rating: the Infiniti QX60, Lexus RX and Volvo XC90. Only one crossover in this segment has the highest Top Safety Pick + rating, and that's the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class.

Jay Leno welcomes a 2016 Cadillac CTS-V into the garage

Tue, Nov 17 2015

After checking out a multitude of classic cars and customs over the past few weeks, Jay Leno switches things up with a modern performance machine in the latest video from the garage – a 2016 Cadillac CTS-V. Leno is curious about Caddy's attempt to challenge the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S, and he takes a long, technical look at the sedan with chief engineer David Leone. Not content to just peek under the hood, Leno puts the CTS-V up on the rack to see what it packs underneath the svelte body. Once he gets the lowdown on the Caddy's engineering, it's time for a drive. Leno also flexes his interviewing skills while behind the wheel and gets even more info about the CTS-V's capabilities from Leone. He seems fairly impressed, but Leno's most entertaining question about the 640-horsepower sedan is whether it can do a burnout. He provides a definitive answer to that at the end of the clip.

Reuss says GM diesel plans are still on pace

Fri, Oct 16 2015

General Motors is not going to let Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal ruin its plans for a new line of efficient, torquey oil-burners, the company's Executive Vice President Mark Reuss said at a recent press event. "No way," Reuss responded when asked about cancelling the upcoming diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles. "The Cruze Diesel is too good not to do it." Slated for 2017, the compact is just the latest member of a diesel offensive that initially kicked off with the first Cruze Diesel and most recently saw the introduction of the oil-burning Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. Reuss also reassured those in attendance that there was "no delay" in development of Cadillac's diesel lineup. Cadillac is working on a line of four- and six-cylinder turbodiesels for Europe. They'd make their way into the US market, too, eventually. "It's a question of timing," Reuss said, according to Car and Driver. Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has caused automakers across the globe to at least reanalyze their diesel strategy. Jaguar Land Rover, which is preparing several diesel-powered models for the US market, went on record late last month to reaffirm its commitment to diesel.
