This vehicle started its lie as a rear wheel drive Cadillac Fleetwood Sedan then it was stretched 48 inches in the middle behind the drivers door. A middle seat was added and two doors were added with concealed door handles in the frame and no exterior door handles. So middle exterior looks like s standard limousine with no door handles, hidden openers are in the front driver nad passenger door frame The rear 1/3 of the roof was cut off above the rear seat for wide open air riding. This vehicle is called the Pheaton model. The Phaeton is a term that comes from early 20th century coach building and it means open top. In this case the roof above the rear seat has been removed. The rear seat has been raised ten inches and a parade seat has been added on the rear deck. In case it rains there is a snap on manual top that covers the rear seat so no rain will spoil your fun.

This is an
awesome ride reminiscent of early 20th century open rear compartment Parade
Cars the President rode in and seen in every parade. This is the perfect
vehicle for promoting 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. 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 47K miles on it!!!! THAT IS RIGHT JUST 47 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES. Mechanically for the gear heads, this Cadillac came from the factory with the formidable LT-1 Engine and matched automatic transmission which Cadillac borrowed from Chevrolet to give unbelievable power to this 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 for a large heavy car.

finished in Cadillac Cotillion White paint and the paint is flawless and brand
new. The vehicle has no dents or dings or scratches. The chrome trim and
bumpers are also in excellent condition. 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 and it is fitted with "FLEETWOOD PHAETON" emblems on the rear doors.

The front driver’s compartment is finished in original medium blue leather and it is in very good shape with no rips or tears.
The rear
salon is brand new in all aspects. The middle seat faces the rear. On each
side of the middle seat are two cup holders and champagne buckets built in to the door panels. The
rear seat is raised ten inches and has air conditioning vents under it that
blows ice cold. The rear salon is fitted with medium blue vinyl which is brand
new on the parade seat. The entire interior is like new and carpet is brand new

on roof, if passengers stand) and surrounding parade seat.

white paint.
The limousine is in mint condition
with 47K miles on it. Reserve is low considering the original purchase and
build cost of this vehicle.
We have used this car in parades all
over Florida and have new buses coming
in so one of these must go. This vehicle is open in the rear 1/3 with a snap on roof that stores on the back deck or in the trunk. The manual top is vinyl just like the roof and clear plastic back window to cover the back totally if it gets caught in the rain. It stores either on the back parade deck or in the trunk and I would compare it to a boat bimini that takes 3 minutes to snap on. That alone costs $1550.00 and it is yours with the car.
We never needed it and never take it
out on cloudy days

complete features list we can send serious buyers upon request by email thru

2016 Cadillac CT6 shows crisp sense of style in leaked images
Tue, Mar 31 2015You're looking at the 2016 Cadillac CT6, aided by the almost inevitable internet-aided leak, ahead of its debut at the New York Auto Show this week. As you can see, the overall shape is straight-edged and aggressive, and overall in keeping with what we've seen from Cadillac over the last several years. High-tech lighting clusters extend from the fender peaks all the way down in what appear to be LED strips toward the lower fascia and its rectangular fog lights. A suitably massive grille encrusted in chrome boasts one of the larger Wreath and Crest badges we've ever witnessed on a car. Under that sharply creased hood will sit a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine with 400 horsepower at its disposal, according to Cadillac, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. A naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6 will also be available, we're told. We may wish for an edgier range-topping sedan from Cadillac, but it's not really fair to draw any real conclusions from just one leaked image. In other words, stay tuned, 'cause the rest of the story won't be far behind.
Cadillac, Daimler execs take swipes at Tesla
Tue, Apr 22 2014Despite the financial ties between Daimler and Tesla Motors, at least one Mercedes exec thinks the electric automaker doesn't have a bright future. And over at Cadillac, the message is that Tesla doesn't pose a threat but offers the luxury arm of General Motors more of classroom experience. The Mercedes story runs like this. Mercedes-Benz USA president and CEO, Steve Cannon, said at the New York Auto Show last week that Tesla has "no network" and only offers "little shops that don't have service capacity." He also said: "Folks are buying a Tesla now because they're kind of cool, but if you're a Tesla buyer, you have to have multiple cars. With Mercedes, you have a whole network. You've got no worries. ... Tesla is great, but you've got plenty of well-established brands that mean luxury, like Porsche or Mercedes-Benz, and how long do you think we're going to wait and let Tesla be out there alone [selling premium electric cars]?" "Treehuggers do not buy new luxury cars" – Uwe Ellinghaus For Cadillac's global chief marketing officer, Uwe Ellinghaus, Tesla's EV success represents little other than "a great opportunity and a learning exercise for all of us, and will help us traditional manufacturers to think twice about electric mobility." He added that, "I am not afraid of Tesla. ... There is no willingness to really sacrifice on the traditional qualities of a luxury car. These are not cars for treehuggers, as treehuggers do not buy new luxury cars." Ellinghaus made the comments during a panel discussion at the 2014 Automotive Forum. Perhaps the lesson of Tesla's offer of free Supercharging to Model S owners is what led to Cadillac to recently announce a deal with Chargepoint that gives ELR drivers access to that company's 16,500 charging stations. Read more details on that below. Cadillac and ChargePoint Bring EV Customer Luxury Driving Experience World's largest, most open electric vehicle charging network available to ELR drivers 2014-04-16 NEW YORK – Cadillac today announced a partnership with ChargePoint, the largest and most open electric vehicle-charging network in the world. The collaboration brings Cadillac ELR drivers immediate access to more than 16,500 charging locations on the ChargePoint network. The ELR electrified luxury coupe went on sale at the end of 2013. It embodies Cadillac's Art & Science design philosophy, combining provocative design with progressive technology.
Confident new Cadillac marketing boss ready to take on Tesla, BMW
Thu, Jun 26 2014When there's a former BMW executive heading Cadillac's efforts to boost sales of its only plug-in, it's a pretty safe guess that the marketing emphasis won't be on environmental friendliness and tree-hugging tendencies. The General Motors luxury brand has appointed ex-Bimmer executive Uwe Ellinghaus to be its marketing chief late last year, and the German-born Ellinghaus is now saying that he's targeting potential customers of Tesla Motors, in addition to BMW, for potential growth in sales of the Cadillac ELR extended-range plug-in. Appointed to Cadillac's head of marketing last November, Ellinghaus recently told Advertising Age that GM needs to highlight the Cadillac's looks and performance. He complimented Tesla for putting more emphasis on those attributes in the Model S than on its lack of emissions or lack of refueling costs (but Tesla hasn't shied away from highlighting the EV's savings). Ellinghaus says that trying to gear advertising "for people who are tree-huggers and green-wash an entire brand" won't be successful. You don't say. So far, the ELR hasn't made much of a dent in US car sales. Through May, Cadillac, which spent about $280 million on all of its US marketing last year, sold 293 units, whereas Tesla had been approaching the 11,000-unit figure for the Model S. With that in mind, Cadillac may be working on a sportier version of the ELR, as spy shots of a test vehicle from May revealed larger brakes and wheels.
