1990 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Base Sedan 4-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
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.

GM announces $7 billion Michigan factory investment, most going to EVs
Tue, Jan 25 2022GM announced a $7 billion investment in Michigan manufacturing, much of which is earmarked for EV production. Four sites are included, but the key elements are a new battery cell plant in Lansing and the conversion of GM's existing Orion Township facility to expand production of the forthcoming Chevrolet Silverado EV and its GMC Sierra sibling. GM says it is the largest investment announcement in company history and that it will create 4,000 new jobs. It also says 1,000 jobs will be retained. "We are building on the positive consumer response and reservations for our recent EV launches and debuts, including the GMC Hummer EV, Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Equinox EV and Chevrolet Silverado EV," said GM CEO Mary Barra. GM says the Orion expansion and new battery plant will support an increase in full-size electric truck production capacity to 600,000 units. This is in addition to the Factory ZERO facility in Detroit that will also be constructing the electric Silverado and Sierra. The Orion Township factory current builds the Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV, and will continue to do so during the plant's conversion. GM did not indicate what will happen with the Bolts once that conversion is complete or whether all will continue to be built at Orion. They do not use the Ultium vehicle architecture. GM will build other EV models at three other factories that are under construction or being converted. They are located in Spring Hill, Tennessee, Ingersoll, Ontario, and Ramos Arizpe, Mexico. GM says that it will have the ability to produce 1 million electric vehicles by 2025. The Ultium Cells Lansing facility is a $2.6 billion joint investment by GM and LG Energy Solution. GM says it alone will create 1,700 jobs once fully operational by late 2024. It will join two other GM Ultium Cells battery factories currently under construction in the United States, one in Ohio and the other in Tennessee. Not all of the $7 billion investment will be for EVs. It also announced $510 million of the total will go toward upgrading the Lansing Delta Township Assembly to produce the next-generation Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Money will also go to upgrading Lansing Grand River Assembly.
Why Cadillac is willing to lose 43 percent of its dealers
Sun, Sep 25 2016Cadillac is offering about 400 dealers in the United States a lump sum of money to close down. That represents over 40 percent of Cadillac dealers in America. Offers start at $100,000 and top out at $180,000. The average offering is around $120,000. According to Automotive News, Cadillac chief Johan De Nysschen estimates it will cost the automaker around $50 million to close these dealers. Any dealer that chooses to remain open will have to submit to Cadillac's ambitious Project Pinnacle, which will divide dealers into incentive categories based on how many units they sell. "Every single Cadillac dealer will have the potential to earn significantly higher profits than they do today," says De Nysschen. Dealers have until November 21 to decide if they want to take the cash or submit to Project Pinnacle. A logical question: Why is Cadillac willing to spend $50 million to close down 43 percent of its dealers? First, GM's luxury brand has way more dealerships than it needs. Second, the 400 dealers with offers to shutter each sold 50 or fewer vehicles in 2015, representing just 9 percent of its sales volume in America. So, while closing these smaller dealerships may have a small initial impact on sales, it's not going to be a major hit to Cadillac.

2014 Cadillac CTS images leak from somewhere
Sun, 24 Mar 2013The redesigned 2014 Cadillac CTS will be unveiled this Tuesday on the eve of the New York Auto Show, but as often happens, some images of the car have leaked onto the web a few days early. Previously, the only information we had on the 2014 CTS concerned the all-new twin-turbo V6 engine that will be found underhood, rated at 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
While none show the new car in its entirety, the images do show much of the front end, particularly the headlights that feature vertical bars of LEDs that start down low as foglights and continue up to the top of the front fenders. They're similar to the lighting design first shown on the XTS and ATS, except the lower portions are much taller.
There are also views of the rear end and one of the taillights, as well as an interior shot of the front passenger door. The latter image has us most intrigued, as it shows some very high end materials being used in the new CTS interior. The low-gloss wood trim, in particular, looks very premium.
