1995 Cadillac Fleetwood 6 door High Top/Presidential Top limo. Conversion by S & S!

We purchased it from Impala Motors in Memphis in August 2011 with 44K miles on it. The car most certainly served as a funeral limo. In 2010 it was hit on the passenger side and it was written off by the insurance company, then later repaired, thus the rebuilt title. As we understand it, what was repaired/replaced was the center door and glass.........Since August 2011, it's been the daily driver for me and has been very reliable. It is in overall good condition and has been well maintained. We have a notebook with all receipts and the service history while we owned it. The LT-1 350 CID V-8 engine has been running smoothly and despite the hefty weight of the car, it has had ample power. Starting circa October 2013 it started to occasionally very lightly sputter at acceleration. Brought the car to Christian Brothers several times for them to address the issue. Despite this, it still did not run right. They were not sure what the problem was other than they felt it could be condensation in the gas tank. I felt it was likely the fuel filter but they stated they replaced it. I then had them replace the spark plug wires. The sputtering issue may or may not have stopped but now it ran rough and had very little power. Not sure if they put the spark plug wires on correctly or not, ie, firing order or if it's the condensation issue in the gas tank or something else but she definitely is not running right and doesn't seem to be running on all 8 cylinders. I simply don't have the time, money or interest to fiddle with it any more and get it running right again as I purchased another car and need to sell this one. Time to clear up the driveway. PS: It took part in the 2012 Elvis Presley car show at Graceland! At that time it had a set of bull horns on the hood that we've since removed!

THE BAD:

REBUILT TITLE.
ENGINE NOT RUNNING RIGHT! Runs very rough, has little power but is drivable.
Has very noticeable and prominent exhaust leak.
When it rains the interior and trunk gets a little wet. Interior occasionally has odor of wetness.
Windshield washer fluid not functioning.

Front & rear AC not cold. Rear unit likely needs freon as it was cold last year.
Excessive wind noise from a couple of windows at speeds above 45 MPH.
Fuel gauge is a little off.
Rear view mirror has delaminated from the windshield and will need to be re-adhered.

.......and: Passenger side middle door lower moulding hangs a little (visible in photo). Small dent on hood which is barely visible. Indentation in grille. The vinyl roof is good but has one quarter size hole on top center and a few other small cracks. Drivers side fender light is cracked and a portion of the glass broke off and the bumper moulding on that corner is missing. Window tint is fair with a few scratches and flaws, most noticeably drivers side front which is torn. Passenger side front window tint is missing.

THE GOOD:
Great looking car with only 62K original miles.
Rare, hard to find High Top model.
Drives, rides, shifts and stops smooth and great (when she runs right) with no major squeaks or rattles. The car has a lot of life left in it.
Near flawless interior. No rips or tears anywhere. Dash not cracked or faded.

Water pump, distributor, rotor, spark plug wires all replaced just before I stopped driving it in December 2013.
New tires.
All power features except power antenna & power trunk work.
No warning lights of any type are lit up on the dash.
A lot of car for the money.

......and: This has been one of my favorite cars to drive. It drove like a car should with relatively low miles on it and with it's long wheelbase and LT-1 engine it had quite a road presence and it was a joy to drive. The middle seat has been switched to face the rear for true limo feel, but can be switched back to forward facing. All glass is good!

Cadillac chief says ATS convertible, wagon on the table

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

What we do know is that the ATS will wear at least one more bodystyle. That comes from Cadillac head Bob Ferguson, who answered "Absolutely" when Automotive News asked him about the possibility of another variant. What we don't know is what that bodystyle or styles will be.
We now have a sedan and coupe ATS, there's supposedly a V sedan coming. After that, a convertible is a likely option given that the man who just became the global product honcho at General Motors, Mark Reuss, admitted to having one already designed in 2012. The decision on it can't get out of the underworld and a wagon is the other option, but the droptop would seem to make the most sense if one considers the competitive set: the BMW 4 Series and Audi A5 convertibles are hot property and Mercedes is bringing a C-Class convertible. Meanwhile wagons are the sentimental utility vehicles that, refusing to die, seem forever destined for life support... CTS Sport Wagon, anyone?
Based on Ferguson's statements, it appears that what Cadillac definitely won't do is play model variant catch-up with the European luxury brands it has spent years hunting down, telling Automotive News, "We want to keep our focus on a limited number of vehicles and do them very well."

Cadillac SRX production moving to TN, next-gen Equinox going to Mexico

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

It's a good week for the town of Spring Hill, TN, as General Motors has announced that its factory in the city of 31,000 will receive a $185 million contract to produce engines. On top of that, the next-generation Cadillac SRX crossover will be built at the factory (NA models are presently built in Ramos, Arizpe Mexico), which was once famous for being the home of GM's now-defunct Saturn brand.
The factory is one of GM's six facilities around the globe that will screw together the company's new line of three- and four-cylinder Ecotec engines. Spring Hill currently builds the 2.0-liter, turbocharged Ecotec, as well as the naturally aspirated 2.4 and 2.5-liter variants.
Spring Hill's vehicle assembly lines were idled in 2009, but were reactivated in 2011. The SRX is just one of the products meant to benefit from last year's $350-million investment, and should have a positive impact, creating or retaining around 1,800 positions at the factory.

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe priced from $37,995*

Thu, 15 May 2014

Cadillac has released pricing details on its new-for-2014 ATS Coupe. The new model, which will be available with buyer's choice of a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder or a 3.6-liter V6 (the ATS Sedan's base 2.5 won't be making the trip) can be had with optional all-wheel-drive in place of the standard rear-wheel setup, while customers can also snag a six-speed manual or six-speed auto.
Prices start at $37,995, which represents a $2,900 premium over the 2014 ATS Sedan (pricing on the 2015 four-door isn't available yet) with the same 2.0-liter engine. Still, the ATS Coupe starts at just over $2,500 less than a base BMW 428i, which is also less powerful and offers less standard equipment. The Caddy is also less costly than the Mercedes-Benz C250 Coupe, although only by about $200. It's even cheaper than the Audi A5, which starts at $38,105, but that model includes all-wheel drive as standard. It should be noted that these prices are without their respective destination charges (*$995 for the Caddy, $925 each for the BMW and the Mercedes and $895 for the Audi).
Unfortunately, Cadillac hasn't released any additional pricing information beyond what we have here, so we can't tell you how much things like all-wheel drive, an automatic transmission or the 321-horsepower V6 will cost. That makes it difficult to figure out just how reasonable the ATS Coupe will be relative to its challengers, but so far, the value equation looks to be in the car's favor. When those full details roll in, though, you know where to look. Scroll down for the official press release from Cadillac.
