Up for sale I have a 1987 Fleetwood FWD. It is white on white with red interior accents such as the dash and carpet. The vehicle runs and drives great and has been used daily up until the end of May when the registration expired. Rather than renew the registration we are pursuing a smaller vehicle that will provide my wife with better gas mileage for her 50 mile daily trip to work and back It made a great winter vehicle for her and has been run daily for the last 2 years. Current mileage is 241,000 on the 4.1 liter V8. So now for the good and the bad
first:
The Good,
1. New front and rear brakes within the last year including rotors, pads, drums, shoes and calipers
2. Rear Air Shocks replaced about a year and a half ago
3. New radiator installed within last year
4. Three year old Die Hard battery
5. Updated 16" factory Cadillac rims with recent tires that have at least 75% tread left
6. Many of the interior pieces have been updated / replaced
Have reciepts for all work that was done and parts replaced
The Not so Good,
1. will need a new front drivers side shock at some point currently rides a little firm
2. exhaust is a little loud not immediate but may need work done in a year or so
3. passenger side front window is inoperable - just stopped working one day during the winter and never looked into it (window is up) may be a switch fuse or loose connection other windows are slow but work fine
4. A/C works but needs a recharge - I can add Freon for the new buyer if they provide the cans, it has been converted to R-134a.
5. Headliner is sagging and there is surface rust and some undercarriage rust - she's not a looker but she will get you where you want to go
Other items of note:
Car comes with a factory Cadillac service manual and the original 14" wire hubcaps that came with the car. Front seats were replaced with a matching set out of a Deville, I have the original set if the buyer is interested. Drivers seat was ripped.
Car is worth $500.00 at the local recycle yard so please no low balls. Reasonable offers only please!
If you have under 10 positive feedback please contact me before making an offer, local pick up only in Leicester MA any shipping is the responsibilty of the buyer. Vehicle is sold as is and as described.

GM design boss Welburn says Lincoln isn't a Cadillac rival [w/poll]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013General Motors Vice President of Global Design, Ed Welburn, had some dismissive words for a certain cross-town luxury brand during an interview with Car and Driver. When asked about his thoughts on Lincoln, Welburn deflected, before saying, "I don't consider Lincoln to be a competitor for Cadillac."
"They're not a global luxury brand. I don't consider them a competitor. Are they a competitor for Buick? Quite possibly. But not for Cadillac," GM's head designer explained. Welburn, who's been at the helm of GM Design North America since 2003 and is the first to hold the position of VP of Global Design, has been instrumental in the styling renaissance at GM, so predictably, Car and Driver's interview with him focused on the design aspect of cars.
During the interview, Welburn explicitly denied plans for a reborn Cadillac XLR, even as a new Chevrolet Corvette is hitting the market and strides are being made with Cadillac's V-Series performance arm saying, "We have a lot of cars that we're working on for the Cadillac brand. The XLR is not one of them right now."
GM sees 'strong year' in 2018, then gold in Chevy Silverado for 2019
Tue, Jan 16 2018DETROIT — General Motors said on Tuesday it expects earnings in 2018 to be largely flat compared with 2017, but that profits should pick up pace in 2019 as its revamped line of high-margin pickup trucks hits the U.S. market. The 2018 earnings outlook was above market expectations, sending GM shares up more than 3 percent in premarket trading. "GM had a very good 2017 as we continued to transform our company to be more focused, resilient and profitable," GM Chief Executive Mary Barra said in a statement. "We are positioned for another strong year in 2018 and an even better one in 2019." GM and its Detroit rivals, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, are bringing on new trucks at a time when overall U.S. new vehicle sales have been falling, but truck sales continue to grow as consumers abandon passenger cars in favor of pickups, SUVs and crossovers. GM on Saturday fired a new round in the battle for profits from one of the U.S. auto industry's most lucrative segments when it showed a new generation of its Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck at the Detroit auto show. The new Silverado, a highlight of the event, is the successor to GM's best-selling vehicle in North America. Sales of the current Silverado rose nearly 2 percent to 585,000 vehicles in 2017. In the coming months, the company will also reveal a revamped GMC Sierra pickup truck. U.S. new vehicle sales fell 2 percent in 2017 after hitting a record high in 2016, and are expected to drop further in 2018 as interest rates rise and more late-model used cars return to dealer lots to compete with new ones. GM said on Tuesday that while it retools a factory in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, to make the new pickup trucks, it will shift some production to an Oshawa, Ontario, plant in order to avoid missing sales in a hot market for the vehicles. The No. 1 U.S. automaker said it will record a $7 billion non-cash charge for its fourth-quarter 2017 earnings related to deferred tax assets. GM said it expects capital expenditure in 2018 of around $8.5 billion, about $1 billion of which will go toward funding self-driving car technology. Last week, the company said it is seeking U.S. government approval for a fully autonomous car — one without a steering wheel, brake pedal or accelerator pedal — to enter the automaker's first commercial ride-sharing fleet in 2019. GM said it expects 2017 earnings per share at the high end of its previously forecast range of $6 to $6.50.
CES 2022 was huge for EVs | Autoblog Podcast #711
Fri, Jan 7 2022In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. CES took place this week, and there were some nice electric surprises from automakers, especially General Motors. John has been driving the Ram 1500 Power Wagon, as well as what seems to be its polar opposite, the electric Mini Cooper SE. Greg talks about the differences between the Acura TLX A-Spec long-termer (which is back in the shop) and the Type S loaner that's filling in for it. John's also got some interesting thoughts on leather interiors. Finally, the editors reach into the mailbag and help a repeat customer decide on a suitable replacement for a 2008 Lexus GX 470 in this week's Spend My Money segment.
