Lebanon, Missouri, United States

If you want to turn heads,  this car will certainly do it!  This is rolling on 20" knockoff wire spoke wheels and has bull horns that go from fender to fender.  The window tint is new and in good shape.   This 1990 Cadillac Brougham has the factory fuel injected 5.7 engine.  The motor runs reliably with no check engine lights.  The transmission runs and shifts properly with no flaring shifts or issues.  This car has brand-new Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks on the front and rear and also has new rear springs.  The tires are good on the front and rear and don't have any leaks.  The front tread is around 75% rear tread is around 50%.  The car rides and handles surprisingly well.  It gets 20-22 mpg on the highway.  I drive it regularly on my 60 mile round trip to work and have not had any problems with it over the last year.  Most of the gizmo's still work on the car, Cruise control, Twilight Sentinel, Cassette Deck, Locks, Windows,  etc. 

 The Bad:  The climate control head needs to be replaced.   The blend door and fan work and the AC compressor is a remanufactured unit.  These climate control heads are about $30 at the scrap yards, and literally only take about 2-3 minutes to change.  I just haven't run across a 90-92 Brougham in the junkyard since it quit working last fall.  The vinyl top has lots of small cracks and discoloration.  Two of the doors have an approximately 2" spot bubbling up around the body side molding, this is a typical issue from GM cars of this era.   I have not seen any apparent rust issues with the rest of the car except on those doors,  The floor pans, rockers, quarters, fenders don't have any apparent rust.  Both front arm-rests are cracked, which is a common issue with these cars and you can get reproduction ones.  The headliner is pinned up into place.   

I have a factory GM shop manual for this car that will be included.  The lead-hammer and spanner wrench for the wheel spinners is included, and I have the stock wheels and tires that you can take if you want them.

This car is a TON of fun, and these Brougham's seem to be getting more rare and valuable, but I simply have too many cars right now to even maintain them all.  This car isn't perfect, but I will say that it has been a fun, reliable car that hasn't had a lot of hack-job repairs or jury-rigged wiring under the hood or dash.  It wouldn't be a difficult car to restore if you wanted a nice Brougham, but it's also great if you want something nice enough to have fun with but you won't have to worry about every nick and scratch.

 

You can see an in-car video of this fine car on youtube.  My user name on Youtube is hasty1982, you'll be able to find it in my videos.

Reuss says GM diesel plans are still on pace

Fri, Oct 16 2015

General Motors is not going to let Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal ruin its plans for a new line of efficient, torquey oil-burners, the company's Executive Vice President Mark Reuss said at a recent press event. "No way," Reuss responded when asked about cancelling the upcoming diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles. "The Cruze Diesel is too good not to do it." Slated for 2017, the compact is just the latest member of a diesel offensive that initially kicked off with the first Cruze Diesel and most recently saw the introduction of the oil-burning Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. Reuss also reassured those in attendance that there was "no delay" in development of Cadillac's diesel lineup. Cadillac is working on a line of four- and six-cylinder turbodiesels for Europe. They'd make their way into the US market, too, eventually. "It's a question of timing," Reuss said, according to Car and Driver. Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has caused automakers across the globe to at least reanalyze their diesel strategy. Jaguar Land Rover, which is preparing several diesel-powered models for the US market, went on record late last month to reaffirm its commitment to diesel.

GM's Mark Reuss explains why a performance Cadillac ELR-V won't happen

Tue, Mar 18 2014

Hey, I've got enough things to worry about. That's one interpretation of General Motors executive vice president Mark Reuss' response to a question posed by Driving the Nation about the recently-introduced Cadillac ELR plug-in hybrid. Reuss said GM will "definitely expand the tuning envelope" for the ELR. The question was whether GM would consider adding magnetic ride control to the quite-powerful-for-a-plug-in Caddy, creating an "ELR-V" model in the process. Reuss' non-answer: "Good question, can't really answer that," but then elaborated that magnetic ride control uses up "a lot" of power otherwise spoken for in terms of providing the longest electric-only range possible. Interestingly, he did add that GM will "definitely expand the tuning envelope" for the ELR, as you can see in the video below. With the model retailing for north of $75,000, fewer than 60 percent of US Cadillac dealers were carrying the ELR as of last month and just 99 ELRs were sold during the first two months of the year. In an effort to sell more vehicles, GM said in January that it would offer the ELR for a 39-month lease for $699 a month for qualified lessees and with a $5,999 down-payment required. Autoblog's First Drive impressions of the ELR can be found here.

Next-gen Cadillac CTS-Vs caught in parking lot

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

A pair of camouflaged Cadillac CTS prototypes were spotted, and thankfully photographed, outside a grocery store in Southern California. From the image above - there are plenty more if you click over to TotalCarScore.com - it appears these could be testers for the 2014 CTS-V, but that is just speculation. We've seen the obvious "V" motif in the grille before, and there's what could be another "V" in the design of the side mirrors.
The hood on the car in the background appears to include two bulges, but the single shot that affords a tiny peek under the hood shows reveals only the airbox. Plenty of rumors, and the sight of an engine cover inscribed with the words "Twin Turbo," have caused people to wonder if a twin-turbo V6 will live under the production car's hood instead of the V8 currently there. In back, instead of the round tailpipes found outboard on all the CTS sedans, there's a pair of integrated tips in a parallelogram shape. A new shifter with contrasting stitching was spied in the cabin.
If predictions hold up it will arrive later this year. When it does, expect the body underneath all that camo to be softer on the eye compared to the current car - less science and more art. For now, hit the link to see more spy shots of what's coming.
