1990 Cadillac Brougham - 5.7 Liter  - SHOW CAR!

1990 Cadillac Brougham.  5.7 Liter, FE2 Handling Suspension, Trailer Package, triple white, blue accents with red/and blue pin stripe,. 24K mile perfect example.  "As Good As It Gets" is the name I have bestowed on this particular Brougham, and the reason why is because nothing you see or have seen is quite like this one.   I sold this car a some years ago to a collector here in town. Upon Mark's purchase, he took what was a near factory perfect saved car and made it a true #1 level show car.  His idea was to make this car the way Cadillac should have done it if they had a Rolls Royce Budget.   Although some of the details in this car will be lost to photographs, many can be seen, and as an overall package, it should literally blow you away.  The end product here may be the most perfect Brougham in terms of details, quality and fit and finish the world has seen.

It took a driven person with a mission and a budget that could have bought a new Rolls to do this.  You are not looking at normal, and as I said, this car may appear to be little different than some of the other nice ones you see, but side by side it is a few steps beyond.  I have 300 mile New Broughams in my collection, although they are brand new perfect as the factory made them, they are not like this car in level of detail or fit and finish.   The work put into this Brougham was done by Dusold Enterprises   one of the finest Automotive Restoration organizations in the country.  Now when I say restoration, that is not what this car needed.  It was "vastly improved" upon from a perfect factory original.  David Dusold set out to keep as much of this car's originality in place, and it the end product has as much, if not more, integrity than the original day one car.   Where GM lacked, Dusold made up for by leaps and bounds.  If you notice the fillers on this car, they are more perfect than any Cadillac of this era to date.  The real weak point of the Brougham with the rear filler and trunk area finish out is the best ever taking all Broughams in consideration.  The door jambs and underside hood are what we would label as "Rolls Royce" standard.  Notice the strikers, sill plates and more.   The headliner is one piece leather hide with a vintage pattern that fits the car.  Sun visors and sail panels are doeskin leather to match seats with French stitching.   The map lights are color keyed, under hood is high detail with all engine accessories and brackets finished to the highest level detail of any show car.   All aluminum under hood has hours of polishing work and all the suspension parts have been powered coated.  This is just some of the work, the rest of it would take a few paragraphs then some.

All in all, I have had over 200+ Broughams in my day, have seen the best of the best, have owned some of the best, but this particular car took it a good step further.  Nothing is quite extravagant in the letter of perfection as this car has achieved. I have had lower mile, I have had more rare, I have had ones with 500HP engines built out of 2000 mile new cars....  However, the angle this car achieves is to please the absolute infinite perfectionist with the most detailed eye and over expecting demands.  When a guy like me sells a car out of my collection, I always wonder and hope that what I have sold will meet the new owners expectations.  It takes a while to get to know a car, so photos are not always the answer, but good ones sure help.   If this car were ever sold and the person buying this car was not happy with it.... Well there has never been a car to date anywhere they would be happy with.  And that is why this car is called  "As Good as it Gets!

This car is not for everyone... As I stated and as many may know... I have 4 broughams in the collection right now with under 1000 miles, one that literally has never moved.  All are their top respective examples, probably the best the planet has to show.... However.... None are to this level, as they simply were never made this way new.

The most detailed Brougham ever!

White is so hard to show how nice it is in photos.... This car made it easy!

The body lines of this car are that of the finest Concours Show car out there.

Zoom in and try and catch the detail

Look at the strikers and sill plates

Now go look at one of my brand new Broughams here... They will pale in comparison.

Custom built factory stereo with many mods inside.  This REALLY sounds good.

Zoom in on the underside of the hood.  Just nothing like that on these cars.

Screaming perfection from every angle.

Autoblog's ultimate holiday rides

Tue, Dec 16 2014

Over the hills and through the woods, it's the time of year when many of us visit family and friends for the holidays. But getting there can be a chore. It's cold and snowy across much of the United States, and even if the climate is favorable, the drive to grandmother's house often is not. Think back to holiday road trips of yore: They probably included crying babies, antsy children, hungover adults and frequent bathrooms stops all around. Now, we're all at different life stages here at Autoblog, and the perfect car for one staffer might be as useful as a team of Budweiser Clydesdales to another. Some of us bounce from family event to family event with children and a labrador in tow, while others prefer a quieter, simpler holiday. But whatever the endeavor, we all need wheels. With that in mind, here is the unofficial Autoblog list of the ultimate cars in which to tackle the holiday season. 2015 Ferrari FF To borrow a chestnut from Top Gear presenter James May, "As you'd expect, I've done this properly." That oddly voluptuous ruby bolide in the photo above? It's a 2015 Ferrari FF – all 652 all-wheel-driven horsepower of it. What makes a Ferrari the ideal for holiday time in PaukertLand? My Midwestern winter breaks are wonderful, but they're typically frenetic and slushy, involving a lot of schlepping from house to house and even city to city, not to mention inevitable last-minute runs for forgotten presents and dinner ingredients. Needless to say, a powerful V12 is a welcome ally for such duties. And this one isn't just a friend when the road is clear. The FF has been gifted Ferrari's novel 4RM AWD system, and despite sitting lower to the ground than, say, an SUV, it's a pretty effective tool for real winter driving, especially when outfitted with a set of snow tires. Unlike other Ferraris, it's also a rather practical thing, with legitimate seating for four adults and 15.9 cubic feet of cargo space – that's precisely as much room as a Mercedes E-Class – and you can fold the rear chairs and cram 28.2 cubes-worth of holiday cheer in the back. Okay, so it's far from cheap and fuel economy isn't that great, but who cares? Just drop a paddle-shifted gear or two, bury the throttle and Repeat The Sounding Joy. Ain't the holidays grand? – Chris Paukert Executive Editor 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe My Mom gives out more presents than any other human being I've ever encountered.

What will the next Presidential limo look like?

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.

GM winding down Chevrolet brand in Europe

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

If you've taken even a cursory look at GM's European strategy and wondered how it can target the market there with both Chevrolet and Opel/Vauxhall, you're not alone. In fact General Motors itself has found it difficult to justify the two-pronged approach. That's why it's essentially pulling Chevy from the European marketplace.
Instead of trying to ply European buyers with what are mostly former Daewoo products rebadged as Chevys, GM will now let Opel (or Vauxhall in the UK) represent its mass-market aspirations. Chevrolet will keep its presence in Russia and other former Soviet markets, and will continue selling certain niche products in Eastern and Western Europe. The Corvette, for example, has long been sold in Europe through Cadillac dealerships, which for its part is currently "finalizing plans for expanding in the European market".
While the shift in strategy is expected to help GM get a stronger foothold in the European market in the long run, in the short term the restructuring will cost it dearly: between $700 million and $1 billion, according to its own estimates, split between the last quarter of this year and the first half of the next.
