1960 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham - 1 0f 101 Built - All Original Survivor - Rare! on 2040-cars
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
This is a mostly all original, ultra rare 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham in excellent, well preserved condition inside and out. This is one the rarest Cadillac's ever built as it is #63 of only 101 Broughams ever built in 1960 and one of only 200 built in its two year production run. There are only half believed to exist today. This limited production Cadillac sold for a lofty $13,075 when new, the Eldorado Biarritz convertible sold for only $7,400 new. The Brougham wasn't even made in America. Pinin Farina built the bodies in Turin, Italy, for installation on a stock chassis shipped from Detroit. This beauty has been well taken care of all its life and it shows! It is a 43K original mile car that is mostly all original except for some of the interior. It was originally ordered by Standard Oil chairman Jack Rathbone Jr. It has spent most of its life in southern California and still has its original California black plates on the car that were last registered in 1973. I purchased the car recently out of a large car collection in southern California where it was stored for years. Prior to that is was donated years ago to the Peterson Automotive museum in Los Angles, CA, where it spent over a decade of its life. These cars were completely loaded from the factory. It has its original 390ci 345hp tri-power engine, factory air conditioning and full air ride suspension that is still fully intact and functional on this car. After many years of storage we did a complete tune up, drained the old gas and went through the brakes. It is now a great running and driving car. Amazing everything still works in the car except the clock. Even the A/C kicks on but needs a charge of Freon. It was ordered in Black, which is one of the rarest and prettiest colors offered in the Brougham, which this is 1 of 30 built in this color!! This is a super rare and desirable car in this original condition. This is the car to have if you want to feel like an instant celebrity. It's the ultimate cruiser and it gets more attention and appreciation than any exotic or new luxury car could ever get. This Black beauty is a rolling testament to the glitz, glamour, innovation, and prosperity of the 1950's and 1960?s! It's loaded with the following equipment:
This 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham has been very well preserved all its life. It is completely original on the exterior with all original paint. The original paint shined up very nicely after fully detailing it, after its many years of storage. It looks great but shows its age upon close inspection. It was painted in lacquer from the factory and has a lot of lacquer checking in the finish. To be perfect again it would need a complete paint job but if you're a stickler for originality it can be kept the way it is and it has a lot of character to it. Shows that this car withstood the test of time. This is an original California black plate car that retains all its original sheet metal and is almost completely rust free and solid as rock. The only rust in the car is on the bottom of the right front fender, which is just starting and very minor. The floors and the rest of the car are dry as a bone. Believe it or not, all the chrome and trim on this car and is completely original and in excellent condition. This car was kept inside and treated as a true Collector Car should be! It is super straight down the sides. This Cadillac again only has 43,000 Original Documented miles. These Cadillac Broughams don?t get offered for sale much. Don't miss this chance, Bid Now! It has a beautiful mostly all original, blue broadcloth interior in it that looks amazing! The only thing that has been replaced on the interior is the carpet and the front seat was redone in the original NOS material. Absolutely everything works in the car except the clock. All the chrome and trim on the dash is bright and clean as new. The dash pad is excellent with a perfect steering wheel. Inside the trunk is all original with its original trunk material, spare and jack. Mechanically, the engine and transmission runs excellent! This Cadillac drives with no issues at all! The original numbers matching 390ci motor provides great power to move this little diamond around. The car fires right up and runs excellent. Driving down the road there are no squeaks or rattles and that's wonderful coming from a 50 plus year old car. Every option and or function works as it should. The engine compartment is all stock and original right down to the original hood insulation. I went through the whole brake system, fuel system and a complete tune up. It even has a new exhaust system on it. The original air ride suspension is still intact and in working order. It is alittle slow going up and does loose air after sitting. I would say the system would need to be gone through to work perfectly. The air conditioning kicks on but needs to be charged and serviced. The car is an absolute pleasure to drive. Fire her up and she's ready to cruise. All and all, this 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham is one of the absolute rarest classic Cadillac's ever built! With Top Notch Quality and one of the highest mechanical Standards this car makes a wonderful choice. What a rare opportunity such a rare and original car. I even have all its original owners manuals and owner protect policy book. If you have any additional questions please Call Jimmy at 608-215-8300 7 A.M. to 7 P.M.

Cadillac to bolster CT sedans with XT crossovers
Wed, 01 Oct 2014Cadillac is moving swiftly to change up its naming scheme. Barely over a week ago we received our first indication that it was considering a different name its the upcoming flagship sedan previously known as LTS. Then Cadillac not only revealed the model would be called CT6, but announced that it would set the stage with a massive overhaul of its model nomenclature. And now we have another piece of the puzzle.
According to Forbes, Cadillac will not only rename its sedans with the letters CT, but will realign its utility vehicles under the banner of XT - both to be followed by a number indicating its place in the lineup. The one exception will be the Escalade, whose nameplate has such a strong following that it would be foolish for Cadillac to cast it aside. That leaves only the SRX (pictured above), but makes room for a new crop of crossovers said to be in the works.
It's a similar approach which Cadillac's new boss Johan de Nysschen took in revising the naming scheme at Infiniti. While it's bound to ruffle some feathers and scratch some heads in the beginning - especially since the company's current flagship sedan is called XTS - it's equally sure to make sense of it all in the long run. All we need to know now is what Nysschen and his marketing chief Uwe Ellinghaus plan to call the coupes.
GM will expand Super Cruise to entire U.S. lineup after 2020
Wed, Jun 6 2018General Motors plans to bring its Super Cruise semi- autonomous highway driving technology to its entire U.S. lineup after it rolls it out to all Cadillac vehicles in 2020. Mark Reuss, GM's executive vice president for global product development, made the announcement at the Intelligent Transportation Society of America conference in Detroit. Automotive News reports he also announced plans to offer vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication in a high-volume Cadillac crossover by 2023 — technology that will also eventually spread across the luxury brand's portfolio. Super Cruise is GM's semi-autonomous, lane-centering driving system that uses lidar mapping, GPS, cameras and sensors. The system offers hands-free driving on the highway, with an infrared camera and lights that track the driver's head position to make sure the driver is paying attention, ready to take over when needed, and not nodding off. If it senses the driver is unresponsive, it can bring the vehicle to a stop on the shoulder and activate OnStar. Super Cruise is already an option on the 2018 CT6 and standard on the Platinum trim model. You can read our First Drive review of the technology here. Meanwhile, Cadillac launched vehicle-to-vehicle technology in the 2017 CTS sedan, allowing equipped Cadillacs to share information regarding speed, direction and location at distances of up to 980 feet to help avoid collisions. By going one step further with V2X, Cadillac can tip off drivers to hazardous road conditions, the status of traffic lights, work zones and threats of crashes. It's the first major announcement from the luxury brand since the departure of former CEO Johan de Nysschen and his replacement by Steve Carlisle in April.

General Motors could turn Hamtramck into its electric pickup, SUV hub
Fri, Nov 15 2019Electric off-roaders could revitalize the Detroit-Hamtramck factory that General Motors previously announced it will close. While official details remain shrouded in secrecy, analysts believe the plant will be re-tooled to manufacture at least three electric models due out during the early 2020s. The plant's scheduled closure was one of the grievances the United Auto Workers (UAW) union cited when it embarked on a 40-day strike in September 2019. General Motors agreed to keep it open without shedding much light on what it planned to build there. Analyst at LMC Automotive told the The Detroit News they believe an often-rumored electric SUV that will resurrect Hummer's name, image, or both will be one of the models assigned to the Hamtramck plant. Battery-powered variants of the GMC Sierra and the Cadillac Escalade will be made there, too, as will an enigmatic van. LMC Automotive's Jeff Schuster believes the van will come first; it could enter production as early as 2021. The Hummer — which might also be offered as a pickup — will follow before the end of 2022, while the Sierra and the Escalade will both arrive in 2023. We're taking this report with a grain of salt, though, because only one of the aforementioned models has been announced by General Motors. Rumors of a Hummer resurrection emerged in the summer of 2019, just a few weeks before we heard unverified reports of a battery-powered variant of the next-generation Escalade. General Motors confirmed plans to enter the burgeoning electric pickup truck segment, which Ford, Rivian, and Tesla also have their sights on, but it hasn't detailed how or when. The van is a mystery. General Motors refused to comment on the report. It previously announced it will keep Hamtramck open, and invest $3 billion to build electric vehicles there. The investment will create 2,225 jobs. Inaugurated in February 1985, the Hamtramck factory has churned out a diverse selection of models over the past 34 years, including Cadillac's Eldorado, Seville, and Allante, the Oldsmobile Toronado, the Buick Riviera, and more recently, gasoline-electric Chevrolet Volt. General Motors announced plans to close Hamtramck in 2018, but it quickly backpedaled and extended its lease on life until 2020 by keeping the Chevrolet Impala and the Cadillac CT6 around for a few additional months.
