1995 Cadillac Fleetwood 6 door High Top/Presidential Top limo. Conversion by S & S!

We purchased it from Impala Motors in Memphis in August 2011 with 44K miles on it. The car most certainly served as a funeral limo. In 2010 it was hit on the passenger side and it was written off by the insurance company, then later repaired, thus the rebuilt title. As we understand it, what was repaired/replaced was the center door and glass.........Since August 2011, it's been the daily driver for me and has been very reliable. It is in overall good condition and has been well maintained. We have a notebook with all receipts and the service history while we owned it. The LT-1 350 CID V-8 engine has been running smoothly and despite the hefty weight of the car, it has had ample power. Starting circa October 2013 it started to occasionally very lightly sputter at acceleration. Brought the car to Christian Brothers several times for them to address the issue. Despite this, it still did not run right. They were not sure what the problem was other than they felt it could be condensation in the gas tank. I felt it was likely the fuel filter but they stated they replaced it. I then had them replace the spark plug wires. The sputtering issue may or may not have stopped but now it ran rough and had very little power. Not sure if they put the spark plug wires on correctly or not, ie, firing order or if it's the condensation issue in the gas tank or something else but she definitely is not running right and doesn't seem to be running on all 8 cylinders. I simply don't have the time, money or interest to fiddle with it any more and get it running right again as I purchased another car and need to sell this one. Time to clear up the driveway. PS: It took part in the 2012 Elvis Presley car show at Graceland! At that time it had a set of bull horns on the hood that we've since removed!

THE BAD:

REBUILT TITLE.
ENGINE NOT RUNNING RIGHT! Runs very rough, has little power but is drivable.
Has very noticeable and prominent exhaust leak.
When it rains the interior and trunk gets a little wet. Interior occasionally has odor of wetness.
Windshield washer fluid not functioning.

Front & rear AC not cold. Rear unit likely needs freon as it was cold last year.
Excessive wind noise from a couple of windows at speeds above 45 MPH.
Fuel gauge is a little off.
Rear view mirror has delaminated from the windshield and will need to be re-adhered.

.......and: Passenger side middle door lower moulding hangs a little (visible in photo). Small dent on hood which is barely visible. Indentation in grille. The vinyl roof is good but has one quarter size hole on top center and a few other small cracks. Drivers side fender light is cracked and a portion of the glass broke off and the bumper moulding on that corner is missing. Window tint is fair with a few scratches and flaws, most noticeably drivers side front which is torn. Passenger side front window tint is missing.

THE GOOD:
Great looking car with only 62K original miles.
Rare, hard to find High Top model.
Drives, rides, shifts and stops smooth and great (when she runs right) with no major squeaks or rattles. The car has a lot of life left in it.
Near flawless interior. No rips or tears anywhere. Dash not cracked or faded.

Water pump, distributor, rotor, spark plug wires all replaced just before I stopped driving it in December 2013.
New tires.
All power features except power antenna & power trunk work.
No warning lights of any type are lit up on the dash.
A lot of car for the money.

......and: This has been one of my favorite cars to drive. It drove like a car should with relatively low miles on it and with it's long wheelbase and LT-1 engine it had quite a road presence and it was a joy to drive. The middle seat has been switched to face the rear for true limo feel, but can be switched back to forward facing. All glass is good!

Best 3rd Row SUVs of 2024

Wed, Oct 19 2022

If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here are our two top choices.  OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (the Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.   In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row Crossover |  Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUV |  Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.

Cadillac recalls ELR coupe over stability control problems

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

Cadillac is recalling about 656 2014 ELR models made between September 26, 2013 and February 14, 2014, because of a fault with the electronic stability control system. On cars without adaptive cruise control, it's possible that diagnostics could prevent the system from telling the driver if ESC is on or off.
Cadillac has a software fix ready and repairs begin on April 17. Alan Adler, General Motors' recall and legal spokesperson, tells Autoblog that only about 55 of the affected cars are in the hands of owners. The rest are either on dealer lots or still at the factory. There have been no reported injuries or crashes caused by the fault.
The correction for the stability control system involves a software recalibration of the electronic brake control module that takes around 20 minutes to perform. While they use the same platform, the Chevrolet Volt isn't involved in this recall because it "uses a different a brake control module," said Adler.
