I am a collector of 1993-96 Cadillac Fleetwood Broughams. They are my hobby and my passion. It is my opinion that this is the best luxury Cadillac made. Offered for sale below is one of my best - 1996 Brougham, Dark Calypso Green with a rare hardtop and velour cloth interior.

 

SYNOPSIS:  Virtually showroom new, 50,366 pristine,garaged, pampered, AutoCheck clean miles, mechanically perfect, rare hardtop,upgraded velour cloth seats, non-smoker, excellent Michelin white-wall tires,drives like a dream, and 26 mpg.

DETAILS:

History

This is a Northeastern West Virginia luxury “Land Yacht” that’s been pampered by its two previous owners. It is essentially a one-owner Brougham.  The second and last owner of this Cadillachad it for about three years and drove only 1,000 miles.  Before I purchased this car, I contacted him telephonically and talked to the him extensively about its condition. He assured me that it is rust free and in mint condition.  When I saw the car at the airport, his words came true.  The car has been totally undercoated and both the body and the frame underneath have no rust. (See pictures below.)  The seller is a 73-yearold retired gentleman who collects antique cars.  He bought this Brougham from an estate sale.  He loved this car but had to sell it to leave more garage space for his other antiques.   He showed me a few of this antiques – mint 56 Chevy Bellaire, 64 Vette, 58 Plymouth and etc.  He is as meticulously about keeping his car in showroom condition as I am.  I am happy to be buying it from a collector because I know heb abied his car.

 

As standard practice, I did an Auto Check. It showed no accidents. 

 

 

Cosmetic Condition

 

Thisis a unique color Brougham, “Dark Calypso Green.”  It is a mixture of emerald green with brilliant Australian opal shine and under the sunlight, you can also see a hint of blue saphire.  It is near showroom condition. You'll be hard pressed to find a ding or a scratch.  Standing at seven feet away, you’d think it is a new car.  It has a rare hardtop. Ninety percent of the Broughams come with a vinyl top which could deteriorate overtime when not properly cared for.  It also has the optional, upgraded gray velour cloth seats. My experience with the velour seats is that they are very durable.  This Brougham shows no wear on the seats.  The entire interior is showroom new without a tear, cut, crack or stain on the seats, carpet, door panels,dash, or the headliner.  Even the factory floor mats are like new.  When I took possession of the car, all of the mats and trunk were covered with another piece of carpet. 

 

 As far as I can tell, the paint is original and it shines brilliantly.   All the extensive bottom chrome pieces which set this vehicle apart are perfect without a ding or a scratch.  Even the gray plastic impact trims are all like new and align perfectly with each other. There is slight bubbling of the thin spear chrome trims along the front fenders and the rear quarter panels. This is a factory defect.  There are no rock chips on the hood and the windshield is perfect.         

 

Allfour Michelin white-wall tires have about 75% tread remaining.  It has a full-size original Michelin spare inthe trunk that’s never been used. 

 

There is not much more I can say about the cosmetic condition of this car - it is virtually showroom new.

 

 

MechanicalCondition

 

The1500 mile drive was long, but it gave me an opportunity to thoroughly test drive this car. She handled beautifully with no issues. Everything worked except the heated seats – the cruise, all windows,A/C, heat, all seat adjustments, trunk pull down motor, radio (no CD) and etc.  The famous 5.7 V8 LT1 engine was smooth,responsive, and powerful.  The caraveraged an amazing 26 mpg on regular gas and I was going over 70 mph most ofthe time.  It did not pull, shake or rattle.  Knowing these cars like I do, at50,366 miles, it is not even broken in.  96s are more sought after because it was the last year this legend was made.  

 

As standard practice, I always change the oil when I arrive home.  My mechanic puts it on a lift and checks for any leaks and other issues. He saw none in this car.   The air filter was new so I did not replaceit.  The brakes worked beautifully; I heard no squeaks.    

 

Conclusion:  This is a rare find - gorgeous, gorgeous,elegant 96 Fleetwood Brougham with a hardtop and velour cloth interior.  The previous owners maintained this Cadillac in MINT cosmetic and mechanical condition. There is nothing to do except to enjoy the best riding, most luxurious, almost indestructible 350 V8 LT1, fuel efficient and reliable American sedan ever made. “No matter where you go, you have arrived.”  When new, this vehicle listed at $45,000.00. Youare buying a virtually new 96 Brougham at a 78% discount.  Itis a collectible classic.  Enjoy!!    

 

This vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty implied or written.

GM slashes prices in China as sales falter

Thu, May 14 2015

Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

Cadillac Lyriq infotainment system will be 33 inches of something totally new

Thu, Jan 7 2021

It’s screen day! Mercedes was first up with the EQS screen. Now, Cadillac just dropped more information on the massive infotainment screen going in its upcoming Lyriq EV, and the details are intriguing.  GM asked for some rather nontraditional help when designing and developing the LyriqÂ’s infotainment system. Both Territory Studio and Rightpoint were brought in to help Cadillac put something together that is hopefully nothing like the disaster that CUE was. The 33-inch LED screen spanning the width of the dash gave them plenty of real estate to get creative. Territory Studios is a global (originated in London) creative agency known for its expertise in user interface design, and itÂ’s worked on a number of video games, too. Rightpoint is a digital consultancy company that does a whole lot of everything in the digital world. Cadillac says the two companies were “focused on artfully integrating aesthetics, purpose and technology.” We wonÂ’t know how successful they were until we give it a shot, but Cadillac emphasizes that itÂ’s trying a fresh perspective for what an infotainment systemÂ’s user interface should be. Customizability and flexibility are two elements Cadillac is highlighting. There will supposedly be display themes “to fit the driverÂ’s mood and personality.”  The short 25-second video clip above preview shows a scaled-back and simple interface with a bottom row of essential function buttons. A menu list appears above this, and while there are likely many color themes available, the one shown is mostly dark with blues and blacks dominating the screen. One icon weÂ’ll point out is the colorful Google Maps icon in the menu list. Will Cadillac actually use Google Maps as the navigation system from the factory in the Lyriq? Perhaps. It tends to be exponentially better than any manufacturer-designed navigation system. Cadillac says more in-depth info will be available on January 12, so check back for a deeper dive then. You can peruse photos of the car getting this infotainment system below. Cadillac Lyriq View 8 Photos

Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.
