1992 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham D'elegance 5.7 Litr Low Miles Original Survivor on 2040-cars

Year:1992 Mileage:68900

Atlanta, Georgia, United States

Atlanta, Georgia, United States

For your consideration I am offering for sale my 1992 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d’Elegance sedan.  The car has been driven only 68, 900 miles from new and has been maintained in a climate controlled garage.  This car has clearly been meticulously maintained since new. I have owned the car for three years using it only for show and special occasions having bought it from another collector.  This is the best driving, comfortable, and most reliable collector car I have ever owned.  I would not hesitate to drive the car any distance.  I’m always amazed at how much attention the car receives, both at shows and on the street.  I recently took the car to an upscale dining establishment and when the valet returned the car he said it was his favorite of everything he had driven.  That includes some pretty exotic company so I thought it a great compliment.  My reason for selling is that I just took another collector car in for paint and bodywork and it is going to be quite a bit more costly than anticipated. 

 

This particular car has always been a Southern car.  I believe the color is Sapphire Blue Metallic.  The car features the optional 5.7 liter V8 with throttle-body fuel injection (Chevrolet 350 I believe), four speed automatic, and 3.08:1 rear axle ratio.  The Brougham of course features power everything and the standard premium AM/FM stereo with tape deck.   Everything on the car is in fully functional condition right down to the auto trunk release and pull-down feature. 

 

Drivetrain:  In my three years of ownership the only item I have had to replace is the water pump which was approximately 400 miles ago.  I believe the fuel pump was replaced just before my purchase.  The car performs flawlessly, has good pick-up, and has never let me down.  Every feature in the car works as it should and the climate control air conditioning blows very cold.  Cruise control works as it should, wipers and spray, everything is turn-key ready on this car.  The engine compartment is extraordinarily clean and fresh looking and the engine does not even show any paint loss to speak of. 

 

Chassis:  The Hankook Optimo whitewall tires were installed just prior to my purchase and now have approximately 6000 miles on them.  When I purchased the car I had the brakes inspected and they were found to be in nearly new condition at that time.  I assume they were overhauled at the same time the tires were purchased.  The wire wheel-covers are in really excellent condition with exception of the right rear showing one linear inch of curb rash.  The underside of the car is very clean with only the normal sporadic light surface rust.  The body is 100% rust free.

 

Interior:  The interior is in nearly new condition.  There is only the very slightest wear on the side of the drivers sear along the edge facing the door.  It is so minimal it is almost not worth mentioning. The interior is in a remarkable state of preservation with no cuts or tears.  The leather is still very supple and the back seat looks never to have been sat in.  The dash and door panels are nearly flawless.  The headliner was replaced by the original owner and I would never guess it had been done had I not been told.  Apparently the carpet was replaced at the same time and is still fresh and like new.  The trunk is original, as is the mat, all in excellent condition.

 

Body and trim:  I believe the paint is all original with the exception of the front fiberglass valance which was professionally painted for show.  There is a dimple just to the left of the trunk lock where it looks like something fell against the car, you have to catch it in the right light to see it.  The plastic fillers around the tail lights are supple and perfect.  The silver plastic rear bumper filler has two cracks and I never got around to replacing it, the part is available.  The vinyl top is in amazing condition and I would say 99.9% of the stitching is intact which is a rarity.  There is a small 3/8” round filled in patch centered over the rear window at the bend of the roof.  It’s not really noticeable but I must mention it, it was there when I purchased the car.  The color of the roof is very good with only a few dime sized etched spots from bird droppings.  This Brougham is fully detailed for show, right down to the door jambs.  The car is ready to drive onto the show field and has recently placed first among some formidable competition, in one case against four other similar Broughams.  I searched quite a while to find a 90-92 Brougham d’Elegance with the 5.7 in this condition and color and it has been nothing but a joy to drive and own. 

 

I am a private collector, not a dealer.  The car is located in Atlanta, GA 30307 Clear title, no warranty expressed or implied.  My preferred method of payment is wire transfer or cashiers check.  Car is local pick-up only, I work from home so will do my best to accommodate pick up or your transport company.  Thank you.

MIT puts V2V technology on its 2015 Top Ten list

Thu, Mar 5 2015

Of all the technologies swimming around the automotive world, it is vehicle-to-vehicle communication that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has fished out as one of its Ten Breakthrough Technologies of 2015. It joined emerging tech like brain organoids, supercharged photosynthesis, and Project Loon on the list, and got the nod over autonomous driving because, as the MIT Technology Review wrote, V2V communication "is likely to have a far bigger and more immediate effect on road safety." How so? Because actual cars transmitting data like their location, speed, steering angle, and state of braking to one another at least ten times per second provides a greater degree of awareness than sensor readings and algorithms. The US Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have been working for years on standards and a regulatory schedule for introducing V2V to the marketplace, and Cadillac plans to incorporate V2V into at least one of its vehicles by 2017. Since we've begun the year with a number of stories of cars being hacked into, that got us wondering about the security of V2V communications. In a recent piece by our own Pete Bigelow on what motorists should know about getting their cars hacked into, he wrote that although cyber break-ins are extremely difficult, expensive, and time-consuming to do remotely, V2V is "one more conceivable avenue a hacker could use to impact multiple cars at a given time." So we spoke to Wilmington, Massachusetts-based Security Innovation about it. The automotive consultancy company has been working with the DOT since 2003 on V2V technology and the issues around it - namely security and privacy - and its chief scientist, William Whyte, is the technical editor of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1609.2 standard outlining its security protocols. Those protocols are expected to be finalized by the DOT toward the end of this year and then come into effect in 2016, and the company's Aerolink product is the security solution Cadillac will use. Whyte said, "If you hack into a car, V2V is the hardest place to start," and Pete Samson, the general manager of Security Innovation's automotive team, said "There are ten or 12 alternate attack surfaces" around the car that would make much easier targets.

Cadillac to bolster CT sedans with XT crossovers

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

Cadillac is moving swiftly to change up its naming scheme. Barely over a week ago we received our first indication that it was considering a different name its the upcoming flagship sedan previously known as LTS. Then Cadillac not only revealed the model would be called CT6, but announced that it would set the stage with a massive overhaul of its model nomenclature. And now we have another piece of the puzzle.
According to Forbes, Cadillac will not only rename its sedans with the letters CT, but will realign its utility vehicles under the banner of XT - both to be followed by a number indicating its place in the lineup. The one exception will be the Escalade, whose nameplate has such a strong following that it would be foolish for Cadillac to cast it aside. That leaves only the SRX (pictured above), but makes room for a new crop of crossovers said to be in the works.
It's a similar approach which Cadillac's new boss Johan de Nysschen took in revising the naming scheme at Infiniti. While it's bound to ruffle some feathers and scratch some heads in the beginning - especially since the company's current flagship sedan is called XTS - it's equally sure to make sense of it all in the long run. All we need to know now is what Nysschen and his marketing chief Uwe Ellinghaus plan to call the coupes.

Cadillac ELR production has stopped, Chevy Bolt coming in Oct.

Tue, May 17 2016

It looks like General Motors' Cadillac ELR extended-range plug-in is out as the automaker prepares to go all in on the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle. The Caddy officially stopped production in February, Hybrid Cars says, citing Cadillac Product Communications Manager David Caldwell. There is still a "small quantity" of the coupe at dealerships, but this take on mashing up "luxury coupe" with "green vehicle" has about run its course. Caldwell and Johan de Nysschen, president of General Motors' Cadillac division, had already confirmed earlier this year that the ELR, which was first available as a 2014 model, wouldn't have any further generations, though weren't specific on when production would stop. The ELR uses an upgraded version of the first-generation Volt's powertrain to move the 4,000-pound beast, and while the Volt is now in its second generation (and this year's sales have more than doubled from a year earlier as a result), the ELR never received a similar upgrade. The ELR sold just 357 units through April. As a result, the ELR sold just 357 units through April, down almost nine percent from a year earlier. In all of last year, 1,024 ELRs were sold, compared to more than 15,000 units for the Chevy Volt, and that's after the ELR's price was cut by about $9,000 last April. The car also got about a 25-percent increase in power, but that didn't seem to do the trick when it came to boosting demand, even with the available $7,500 federal tax credit. Meanwhile, Hybrid Cars is reporting that the 2017 Bolt, which will feature a single-charge range of about 200 miles and is expected to retail for about $35,000, is likely to start production at GM's Orion Assembly Plant in October. While you wait, if you're already feeling nostalgic, check out our impressions of the ELR here.
