1985 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Coupe

43k miles

78 high resolution pictures below

This immaculate 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood only has 43k one owner miles.

The Coupe made up just over 10% of the RWD Fleetwood production for 1985. This body began production in 1980 to appease the loyal Cadillac owners that were disgruntled over the 79 Eldorado Biarritz being drastically down sized. This full sized coupe with all it's trimmings filled the "personal luxury" spot well and production ran through midyear of 1985. Very few of these were saved and finding a good one often takes years to find. On any given day you can find a nice low mile Eldorado of this generation but the low mile Fleetwood Coupes are very scarce and have become very sought after. The demand for this body amongst collectors have more than doubled in the last 5 years as many Cadillac aficionados are snapping up the best examples for their collections. 1985 was the very last year for this incredible body style and from a design standpoint was GM at it's finest hour. These Brougham Coupes were the last of a classic style era which will never be produced again.

1985 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Coupe in rare triple white(paint, top and leather interior).

I have had the privilege of owning several of these Brougham Coupes in my 20+ years of Cadillac collecting, and this particular example is hands down the best of them all. This Fleetwood has always been collector owned and garage kept. With only 43k miles, this Cadillac needs no excuses and stands well to be a very lucrative long term investment. The best resale colors for these are white, red, blue and black. As far as color combos, triple white and triple black lead the pack in resale value. The car detailer I use is one of an elite group called upon to prep very high dollar pedigrees for Pebble Beach. Aside from myself, he is the only one I will let touch my cars and he just completed an extensive detail on this Cadillac. You could put this Fleetwood directly into a car show today.

This is by far the tightest, smoothest driving Brougham Coupe I have ever owned. This is one of those "steer with one finger" cars, tracking straight with very smooth braking.

This Cadillac spins heads and gets many a thumbs up.

The bumper rub strips are like new with no scrapes.

All lenses are as new, crystal clear and free of cracks

Dripping with chrome

Perfect proportions and factory stance.

Curb presence.

This Fleetwood Coupe was ordered with a generous list of options, with a sticker price of almost $27k whereas a base Fleetwood stickered for $21,219. Some of these options include; Leather Seating Area($680), Twilight Sentinel($85), Passenger seat recliner w/six-way power seat($380), Electric Remote-control Outside Mirrors($101), Symphony Sound AM/FM Cassette with CB($570), Illuminated Vanity Mirrors Driver and Passenger($140), Illuminated Entry System($80), Rear Window Defogger including Heated Outside Mirrors($220), and the list goes on.

GM's highest paint process and quality control went into the Corvettes and the Cadillac division.

There has been no parking by braille done with this Cadillac. Wire wheel covers are free of curb rash.

Aside from the filler panels which where recently replaced and re painted with a perfect color match, this car has factory paint all the way around and is very glossy. No fading anywhere on this car. No dings in the fender well trim.

Class at every angle.

The body is straight as an arrow.

Again, beautiful chrome with no rubs on the bumper rub strips. Tail light lenses are clear and as new.

Vinyl Landau top is as new.

Chrome rocker panels are like the rest of the car,,,gorgeous.

Passenger side

Driver's side

ALL chrome on this Coupe is luscious and pit free. Shows so much better in person.

Standard of Excellence

Door jambs are rust free and in excellent shape

This Cadillac has a striking nautical color scheme with the white and rich navy two-tone interior.

As new.

No other Fleetwood quite like this one.

Front passenger seat close-ups

The leather in this car is amazing!

Time capsule

Dash is perfect with no cracks or fading whatsoever.

43k miles

Not a single door ding on this Cadillac. None.

This Fleetwood is so fresh. Door panels are plump and free of cracks. Door jambs and hinge area are free of any rust or corrosion all the way around.

Seat belts are still snow white, even on the drivers side!

Drivers seat leather perfection.

To see this Fleetwood in person will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. It is a sight to behold.

Headliner has been replaced and is perfect.

These leather seats are a work of art. The details are amazing.

Very smooth and quiet runner. I would drive this car anywhere.

All the original floormats including the trunk mat are still with this car and near perfect condition.

I doubt you will see another quite like this one come around anytime soon. VERY hard to find especially with the coveted triple white color scheme.

Bid with confidence, win with high expectations!

2017 Cadillac XT5 cuts weight, adds room over SRX [UPDATE]

Mon, Nov 9 2015

UPDATE: This post has been updated with a full set of official photos. Impressions on the interior and exterior have also been added. The attention of Cadillac fans may be focused on the new CT6 sedan, but the most important new vehicle in the New York-based company's quiver might be the all-new XT5. Cadillac officially unveiled the SRX replacement today ahead of its full debut in Los Angeles next week. Short for Crossover Touring 5, the new XT5 drops 278 pounds over the old SRX, while offering an extra 3.2 inches of interior space. The XT5's face balances the best parts of the Escalade and CT6's fascias, with a strong egg-crate grille and prominent LED accent lights. It looks good scaled to a vehicle of this size. The taillights curve up and over the rear haunches, which feed into a strong shoulder line that runs towards the front of the car. It's a solid look, and one we're looking forward to seeing in person. The interior looks very, very nice, with warm leather and wood trimmings. The steering wheel, with its large, central wood accent, looks remarkably good. In fact, it might be one of our favor parts, if only because it's such a bold piece of design. We aren't crazy about the sheer abundance of buttons on the wheel, though. All four spokes are covered, and it just looks kind of cluttered. As is the trend nowadays, the center console features a floating bridge design with plenty of storage space underneath. Our early impression of the leather-wrapped dash is positive, although as is so often the case, we need to get a hands on before rendering a final judgment. There are no major surprises under the hood. Like the current SRX, the XT5 utilizes the same 3.6-liter V6 as the CTS and ATS sedans. Start/stop has been fitted, which should provide a boost in fuel economy although no mileage figures have been published yet. Cadillac will also offer a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder XT5, although for reasons that aren't clear, it's only for the Chinese market. This seems like a misstep in our eyes, considering the XT5 will challenge the likes of the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Mercedes-Benz GLC – all of which offer four-cylinder turbos. With the V6, the XT5 delivers 310 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. While there's more total horsepower than the Lexus, Audi, or BMW, the 3.6 still faces a torque deficiency versus the turbocharged X3 xDrive35i or supercharged Audi V6. The XT5 has a standard eight-speed automatic transmission.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
