1987 Cadillac Brougham D'elegance on 2040-cars
Seattle, Washington, United States
|
Sudden financial challenges are causing me to sell my two Cadillacs (1987 and 1956) This 1987 car is very unusual in terms of its options: in addition to all the regular accessories that were standard on this model, it has a factory sunroof which works perfectly, it has a driver's memory seat, it has auto dimming lights as well as twilight sentinel, it has an engine block heater, a power rearview mirror that works properly, and it has the velour seats instead of leather. The fabric used on these seats is so amazing. It shows almost no wear after all these years. It is unbelievably comfortable and never hot or cold. This 1987 Brougham d'Elegance is my daily driver. I am retired so the use is not all that much. I also have been using this car in my volunteer work as a chauffeur for the Seattle Opera, giving rides to visiting artists. I truly love this car and enjoy driving it. I did not intend on using it on a daily basis, but once I experienced the quietness, the smoothness, and the excellent handling characteristics of this car I was unable to be satisfied with anything less. Most people are amazed by the beauty of this car, particularly the interior which is so plush and inviting and comfortable. As with any car I own, I keep this car in top shape at all times. At this moment there are no issues at all. The tires still have about a third of their life left, the brakes are wonderful, and everything functions properly. When I got this car about five years ago, I had a new AC compressor installed, had the front end checked over and adjusted. I also bought the Kumho tires which are really terrific for this car. In addition, I have had a new exhaust installed which uses a free-flowing muffler and no resonator. So the car has a nice engine sound and the engine runs just a bit more freely this way. It is well known that this 5.0 liter engine is reliable but not all that powerful for such a large car. I have done my best to keep it super tuned up, free-flowing in terms of the air cleaner and muffler, etc. It really does run great and I am satisfied with the power. I have also had the transmission serviced and examined as a precautionary step. Nothing was wrong with it. If I were asked to fault this car, I would probably say that the white paint is a bit past its prime, but no one would notice that except a critical viewer, because it looks just fine. It has its share of little touch-up and imperfections, and there is one very small indentation over the rear wheel on the passenger's side. A long time ago, someone must have smoked in this car because there are some tiny little empty spots on the driver's door upholstery, where ashes must have fallen and caused holes. The car has no tobacco smell as I do not smoke and I do not allow smoking in any of my cars. Plus the car has been detailed countless times in the interim. The speedometer of my car is in Kilometers. But I have listed the equivalent miles. This car has been trouble-free during the time I have owned it. I needed a new heater core last year, and I believe that has been my only expense in five years time. |

GM delivers best Q3 sales since 1980, 2.4M vehicles sold
Wed, 15 Oct 2014People are a weird sort. Even after registering over 70 recalls through the first three-quarters of 2014, General Motors saw its best Q3 results since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, registering over 2.4 million global sales between June and September on the back of strong results in the US and China.
US sales were marshaled by good results for GM's pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which bumped the manufacturer's truck market share to 35.6 percent, up nearly three points from Q1 2014. Buick has seen healthy growth as well, with the Encore dominating its segment for the sixth month running.
It was China, though, that really bolstered GM's sales, as the company's efforts to top last year's record-setting 3.16 million units continued apace. Small SUV sales saw massive growth, with Encore, Chevrolet Trax and Captiva figures jumping 90 percent in Q3. Brand-wise, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick all saw sales gains in the PRC, with each recording double-digit year-over-year jumps. Cadillac sales alone were up 63 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013.

2016 Cadillac CTS-V arrives with 640 hp, 200-mph top speed
Mon, Dec 22 2014Ask the company's executive team, and they'll tell you "this is the maximum Cadillac V-Series." It's the 2016 CTS-V sedan, and it packs the very best of what's possible at Cadillac. And the company says it doesn't think "anyone thought it was possible that we could push [the CTS-V] this far." The big news is what's underhood: General Motors' supercharged, 6.2-liter LT4 V8, tuned to 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. That's 10 hp and 20 lb-ft less than the monstrous Corvette Z06, and the result is the most powerful car Cadillac has ever produced. With rear-wheel drive, launch control and the eight-speed automatic transmission (sorry, folks – no more manual transmission here), Cadillac says the 2016 CTS-V will sprint to 60 miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 200 miles per hour. Naturally, Cadillac's engineers say they have tuned the CTS-V to ensure it can put all that power to the ground with the most precision and poise possible. That starts with the excellent Magnetic Ride Control active damping system (with a claimed 40-percent increase in responsiveness)and a 25-percent increase in structural stiffness that should improve overall handling and steering. What's more, a high-performance Brembo brake package comes standard, as do 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in seriously sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires that will reportedly offer 1g in lateral acceleration. Cadillac also says that all changes to the bodywork are functional. That includes a carbon-fiber hood, front splitter, rear spoiler and diffuser that are super light and aid with aerodynamics and weight reduction – all of which will be available as an optional package for folks who like the exposed carbon look. Inside, it's more of what we're used to on lesser CTS models, but there's newly optional carbon fiber trim, microfiber suede upholstery trim, and some seriously awesome Recaro seats. Additionally, as we exclusively reported earlier, Cadillac will offer GM's Performance Data Recorder in the CTS-V. It records high-definition video with data overlays that's sharable via social media. Beyond that, Cadillac will offer the usual smattering of tech goodies, including Siri Eyes Free, OnStar with 4G LTE, CUE infotainment with navigation and Bose audio. The CTS-V will launch later next year, following the debut of the smaller ATS-V. In the meantime, the sedan will officially bow at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in just a few weeks.
