1989 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d' Elegance "Executive Series"

63K Original Miles - Gold Trim - Presidential Hubcaps - Padded Roof

Warning:  If you are a private person, and do not like added attention, or getting into conversations with strangers, then DO NOT consider this vehicle.   

However, if you like to bring smiles to strangers, getting thumbs up wherever your drive, (the gas station, the market, the deli), or discussing cars with people, and letting them sit in the back seat because they have never seen an interior like this one, then this just may be the car for you.  This is NOT for the shy and meek!  This Cadillac is the last of the great ones, done with every option that was offered in 1989.  The styling is not much different than the 1977-79 Cadillacs, but it is 12 years newer.  It has power everything.  This was sticker priced at nearly $30K in 1989, and now has entered ANTIQUE status.

This is an "Executive Series" Car that is originally from Indiana, purchased by a retired military colonel in 1989.  He sold it in 2005 to a man in Pennsylvania, and I purchased it last year from him.  This car has been pampered it's whole life.  No pets, no kids, and the interior is proof of it. 

It is black with a gorgeous quilted leather burgundy interior.  The color combination of black on burgundy is stunning!  It is equipped with reading lamps in the rear seats.  I would imagine these were the cars used in the cities as limousines.  It has the words "Executive Series" written on each window of the rear doors, with black lines running down the window to ward off the sunlight. 

The car is in beautiful condition  It has been garaged and maintained meticulously.  It rides flawlessly, like a Cadillac should.  When you sit in the plush leather seats, you do not want to get out.  The interior is outrageous.  The whole car is outrageous.  The chrome, the lines, the padded roof, the gold trim, the stainless steel, the hubcaps, the lights, the accessories. 

It has 63K original miles, and is tight all around.  It is fully equipped.  Air conditioning, AM/FM cassette, power trunk, mirrors, windows, locks, seats, tilt steering, sentinel lights, cruise control, antenna.  (the antenna motor works, but it turned off) That's the only thing not working currently.  I play my ipod through the cassette deck, so I don't use the radio.  But you can pull up the antenna by hand if you like the radio.  The interior digital clock works, as well as the outside tempature gauge.  All the fans work, as does the heat.  The heat is REALLY good in this car.  (But for some reason, you MUST press the defroster key first to get the fans working, then it's absolutely fine.  HIGH MED  lOW all work, but to get it going, you have to hit the defroster key first.) 

The car comes with its original brochure, as well as one set of true GOLD GM KEYS, to go along with all the gold trim and accents of the car.  It has a V8 307 motor.  It is reliable, it is strong, and it is solid.  BUT.....you will not win a drag race with this car.  The car is slow to accelerate with it's factory produced 140 horsepower, but it cruises.  Great around town.  On the highway, it floats, but yet its tight.  Gas mileage ---  Maybe 14 MPG around town, 18-20 on the highway.  She likes GAS.....premium.  You can get away with 87, but I use premium, and the person I bought it from used premium.

It is the last year of the 4 headlight look, and the non-digital dashboard.  It has that 70's look, but 80's interior, and modern accessories.  All three lights on both sides of the top of the fenders work.  One for the blinker and parking lights, one for the headlights, and the third for bright lights.  It's hard to believe it is now an antique.  When I am driving it, it feels pretty modern to me.  A true luxury car....  But then again my other car is a 1968 Plymouth Fury.

There is not a speck of rust on this car.....nothing.....straight as an arrow.  Some light scratches over the years, but not visible unless you are looking for them, or waxing the car, which I have done.  And when it is waxed and polished, shines like new.

Most of these Fleetwoods have wire wheels.  But this one has what they call "Presidential Hubcaps"  I LOVE these hubcaps!  I have not seen another Fleetwood Brougham with hubcaps.  All the glass is perfect, lenses are perfect, and all the lights work.  

If you are looking for a Weekender automobile that is plush, dependable, wonderful to look at, and fun to drive, or just a show car, this is the one.  I have been in a multitude of conversations with people when I drive this car.  It's crazy !  

Good luck bidding.  I can answer any questions through email, except how much the reserve is.

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.

2017 Cadillac XT5 will debut in Dubai

Tue, Sep 8 2015

Cadillac confirmed the 2017 XT5 crossover – the replacement for the SRX – will officially debut at the Dubai Motor Show in November. The XT5 will then make its first North American appearance at the Los Angeles Auto Show later that month. The current SRX is a hugely important vehicle for Cadillac – it's still the company's best-selling product worldwide. But it's pretty old now, having launched in 2009 as a 2010 model. The XT5 will bolster all of the good things about the SRX while finally bringing that product up to date. Above, you can see a spy shot of what looks to be the new XT5, caught during a photo shoot. "The XT5 will be the cornerstone of a series of crossovers bearing the 'XT' designation," Cadillac said in a statement. We've long known that Cadillac wants to add a CUV between the XT5 and its flagship Escalade. But we think there's also room for something smaller – a proper fighter to the expanding entry-level luxury crossover segment that includes the Mercedes-Benz GLA, BMW X1, upcoming Infiniti QX30, and more. We'll have more information on the 2017 XT5 this week. In addition to the auto show news, Cadillac confirmed it will have a few photos and details to share in the coming days. Stay tuned.
