***1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, 2-owners, 39k Original Miles, What A Ride!! on 2040-cars
Wakefield, Massachusetts, United States

1966 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM TWO OWNERS 39,654 ACTUAL MILES The car has a neat history. The original owner was a man named William F. Powell from Philadelphia who got the title on 8-22-66. One of the cool things is a book suggesting service visits in which he noted the mileage on visits for the first couple of years. (I think it's in the glovebox). He put on VERY few miles. He sold it on 12-24-88 to a car dealer (probably a trade in) Auto World in Gathersburg Maryland. It had 26, 277 miles on it, meaning he had driven just over 1,100 miles per year. Auto World transferred it to a dealer in Springfield, MD - Motor City Auto Sales on 4-30-89. It had 26,690 miles on it. The current owner bought it on 6-20-92 with 26,815 miles on it, making him the 2nd registered owner. Over the past 20 years, he brought it up to about 39,600 miles or about 600 miles per year. I have all of this documented. It was an original paint car up until it was hit in the rear of the car 14 years ago by a neighbor. The car was painted completely, and the roof was all re-done. It does have some minor rust starting from water trickling down the vinyl roof behind the rear windows. This will need to be dealt with eventually, but most people don't even notice it, but I wanted to disclose it. It's also missing the lettering on the right side - F L E E T W O O D. At some point water had leaked into the trunk damaging the trunk liner, but you can find reproduction trunk liners now. The red/organe cloring you see in the trunk is NOT RUST it's the red oxide primer coating under the paint, the trunk is rock solid. The interior is nearly perfect, including the original floor mats. The wood has some staining. The front vent window gears were replaced, they weren't available for the rear vents. (It has 8 electric windows!) I just had a new muffler put on it recently. It has rear air shocks, I'd replace the back springs. The car runs great, it's tight, and fun to drive. It has almost all options, except cruise, rear window defogger and heated seats. I have a cruise control someone could add. I also have the rear window defogger blower, etc that someone could add. I also will include two extra wheel covers, a headlight bezel, and a couple of other small parts. I think the cruise control and defogger cost me about $500 combined when I bought them. So, that's the history. It was the top of the line Cadillac with the exception of the Limousines, and is similar in some ways to the Eldorado convertible for 1966.

Cadillac tipped to call flagship something other than LTS
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without large sedans in its lineup, and while the XTS has had to hold down that end of the fort all on its own, it won't have to for too long. That's because the luxury brand in the General Motors portfolio is preparing to roll out its new LTS, stylistically previewed by the Elmiraj concept pictured above. Only now, the latest thinking is that the upcoming flagship model may not be called LTS at all.
As Automotive News points out, Cadillac's naming scheme is all over the place at the moment. The ATS slotting below the CTS makes sense (alphabetically), but where do the ELR, SRX and especially the Escalade fit into that naming hierarchy? And how would LTS - as the project has been known until now - sit above the XTS?
Fortunately, Cadillac may be on the case, as two of the division's most recent senior appointments seem keen to rationalize the naming scheme. One is Uwe Ellinghaus, who joined Cadillac as chief marketing officer late last year. Speaking of the brand's nomenclature last spring, Ellinghaus was quoted as saying, "We are aware that this is currently a weakness of the Cadillac brand." And his new boss is bound to agree.
Cadillac issues stop sale on ATS to recall 82k units
Wed, Jul 29 2015Cadillac is issuing a recall on 82,620 examples of the 2013-2016 ATS worldwide to fix a compliance issue with the sunroof controls. Until a service bulletin goes out to take care of things, there's also a stop sale on the luxury compact in the United States, The Detroit News reports. Of the affected models, 63,665 are in the US, according to a statement sent to Autoblog, and 7,922 of them are in Canada. The problem is actually the same issue as a recall on nearly 59,000 examples of the 2013-2015 ATS in the US in February. In them, the controls for the tilt and slide of the roof aren't recessed enough to meet government standards for the force necessary to operate the buttons. The Feds believe that someone could accidentally activate the auto-close and potentially be at risk. At the time, Cadillac dealers installed a new trim plate to add the needed clearance. In the latest update, the company is adding the 2016 model year, and according to The Detroit News, 70 percent of the cars from the original campaign also need another new trim plate. Unsurprisingly for such a minor defect, there are no known crashes, injuries, fatalities, or customer complaints related to this issue, according to the announcement by General Motors. Cadillac ATS Statement: General Motors is recalling 63,665 Cadillac ATS sedans in the United States from the 2013-2016 model years because the power-operated roof panel systems on these vehicles will auto-close when the non-recessed portion of the "Slide" or "Tilt" switches are pressed and the roof panel is open. Because these switches are not fully recessed, they can be actuated with less force than required to comply with applicable federal standards. GM knows of no crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this issue and has received no customer complaints. The total population of the recall including Canada, Mexico and exports is 82,620. Transport Canada Recall # 2015322 Recall Date 2015/07/21 Notification Type Compliance Mfr System Electrical Manufacturer Recall Number 15568 Units Affected The number of vehicles or components affected by the recall. 7,922 Category Car Recall Details Certain vehicles equipped with power-operated sunroof system may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 118 - Power-Operated Window, Partition and Roof Panel Systems.
Hear the new Cadillac CTS-V torture some tires
Thu, Dec 25 2014The 2016 Cadillac CTS-V seems like the type of wonderful gift that Santa might cook up in his workshop for one extraordinarily good boy or girl. However, the first chance for most people to actually see the super sedan and its carbon fiber pieces in real life is at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in January. As a stocking stuffer until then, Caddy has released this video highlighting the latest V-Series roasting its tires better than any dinner for the holidays. With the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 from the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 nestled into the CTS-V's engine bay, the Cadillac certainly has quite a bark coming from its exhaust. The mill might be detuned slightly from the 'Vette to 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque, but that's still plenty for this smoky application. Enjoy this tease of the future V-Series, ahead of the Detroit show.
