Up for Auction is a custom built one of a kind 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood open top Limousine I have had in my collection for a few years that was originally built for the U.S. Secret Service as a follow up car by S&S Coachbuilders. Same coachbuilders that worked with Cadillac on the Clinton Armored Presidential Limousines. It is very unique with three openings in the roof for riders to stand up and view everything around them. This vehicle started its life as a rear
wheel drive Cadillac Fleetwood Sedan.
This is the last year of the rear wheel drive Fleetwood Cadillac.
FEAUTURES: It was stretched 48 inches in the middle behind the driver doors. The rear compartment is double the size of a factory sedan. It has a rear facing middle seat and two middle doors with concealed door handles in the frame and no exterior door handles. The middle exterior looks like a standard limousine with no door handles. Hidden openers are in the front driver and passenger door frame. The most unique feature of this limousine is its roof and rear compartment. The roof is steel reinforced and has three cut outs for people to stand up in and stick there head (and weapons out). One opening is narrow and above the driver compartment. The rear compartment has two huge openings (see pictures) with grab handles in between. The roof is finished in vinyl and it is like new. It also has a snap on black canvas cover if weather is inclement. That can be folded up and put in the trunk when not in use. This vehicle was built under specifications by the Secret Service and delivered in 1995 and decommissioned right after 9-11 because it is NOT armored. They went to all armored SUVS as follow up cars. After that it was used at their training center as a training vehicle. I bought it from a dealer in PA in 2012. I had it repainted, new carpet, new headliner, new vinyl top. Rest was perfect. This is a
gorgeous ride and would be awesome in someone's collection. Or to promote a business, weekend touring, site seeing, charity
promotions, vineyard tours, city tours, historic tours, a real estate business
and of course parades. OR what i use it for just cruising to car shows and
driving on sunny weekends. You can fit six people in the back compartment
comfortably. In case it rains there is a snap on black canvas weatherized top that covers the entire roof.
Everything is perfect and looks like new. Has brand new chrome emblems all around and Cadillac marker lights on the sail panel. Grab handles are on the roof in case you want to stand up and much more.
THIS IS A
HEAD TURNER. You will NEVER see another one pull up next to you and this one is
in mint condition. THIS VEHICLE
HAS just 46K miles on it!!!! THAT IS RIGHT JUST 46 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES.
Mechanically for the gear heads, this Cadillac came from the factory with the
formidable Corvette LT-1 V-8 Engine and
matched automatic transmission which Cadillac borrowed from Chevrolet to give
unbelievable power to this huge rear wheel drive car. This model is the last rear
wheel drive model Cadillac built. The engine is the same engine as the Corvette
of this year. Power is unreal and the ride is incredible. All the
chrome on the vehicle is showroom new. The exterior features lighted flag
stands on the front fenders. All badging is brand new chrome because when we got it had none on it. There are a total
of six doors that open but the middle doors have no door handles for a clean
and finished limousine look. INTERIOR DESCRIPTION The front driver’s compartment is finished in original black leather and it is in very good shape with no rips or tears. The front interior has perfect and original leather and original carpet and mats in excellent condition. The car looks new inside and out with all original gauges, AC and everything works. There is a high power air conditioning system for the rear with vents along the roof line. The rear
compartment is brand new in all aspects. The middle seat faces the rear. the rear seat has head rests and has air conditioning
vents on the headliner around the sides. The entire interior is like new
and carpet is brand black with absolutely no wear anywhere. All door panels are like new
condition. The interior and exterior shows absolutely no wear at all. The front
compartment is factory with the addition of flag stand light switch (never ever
fly the American Flag at night without lighting it) and interior special light
package switch. There are
two air conditioning systems in the vehicle with controls in the front for the
factory air and the rear air conditioning system that has vents under the
middle and rear seats for use to cool passengers during long parades. White wall
tires are excellent with 70% left on them and like new Cadillac Factory Chrome Correct
Rims. The trunk is like factory with brand new full size spare, jack. Interior

All-new 2019 Cadillac XT4 crossover debuts in New York
Wed, Mar 28 2018Cadillac spent years and years improving its mainline sedans, the CTS and ATS, turning them into awfully good impressions of BMWs from a few years before. The thing is, great sedans aren't selling, and crossovers sure are. Cadillac's XT5 is the only crossover in the lineup, something that's had American Cadillac dealers gnashing their teeth and wailing — although anyone they can upsell into an Escalade can staunch the bleeding. That brings us to the new XT4, which is smaller than the XT5 but even sharper than its bigger sibling. Let's take a closer look at this new two-row luxury crossover. For one, it's based on what Cadillac calls a unique platform. That may be true, technically, although it's likely related to the Equinox/Terrain on some level. Platforms are becoming quite flexible: Look at Volkswagen's MQB, under everything from Euro hatches smaller than our Golf to the three-row Atlas. Whatever else it is underneath the skin, all XT4s will share one powertrain: the corporate 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission. View 14 Photos The engine puts out a healthy 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, putting it just a hair underneath its closest domestic rival, the Lincoln MKC with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost. Of course, the 2.3-liter MKC beats the XT4 handily, but that's another story. Power is produced with the help of a twin-scroll turbocharger. All-wheel drive is available, with a driver-selectable rear axle disconnect to save a small amount of rolling friction. Cadillac estimates it'll be good for 30 MPG on the freeway, but we haven't seen official results to confirm that. A few other changes that'll affect driving: electro-hydraulic brake assist, a first for Cadillac and mainly a fuel-saving measure; and Continuous Damping Control, which alters the damper's valve continuously based on a number of parameters. It's almost certainly used here because it's lighter and less expensive than air suspension or MagneRide, and it is optional on XT4. CDC or no, all XT4s utilize a front strut and five-link rear suspension. All XT4s also ride on 18-inch wheels in various designs. The trim strategy is mildly interesting. The base model is the Luxury, and then you can choose a Sport (black exterior trim, unique wheels) or a Premium Luxury (bright trim and satin-brushed accents). The interior options are suitably upscale and premium, and we'll have more to say about them a little later when we can see this car up close.
Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
GM to idle car production at five factories as Americans continue CUV love affair
Mon, Dec 19 2016In case you needed another reminder that Americans have fallen out of love with sedans, General Motors today announced plans to idle five factories in January in a bid to cut its inventory to 70 days. Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly ( Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Volt and Impala) and Fairfax Assembly in Kansas ( Chevy Malibu) will stop production for three weeks. Lansing Grand River ( Cadillac ATS and CTS, and Chevy Camaro) is going down for two weeks, while Lordstown, OH ( Chevy Cruze) and Bowling Green, KY ( Chevy Corvette) will go idle for a week each, Automotive News reports. GM's shutdown reflects a broader problem with the company's supply – at 847,000 vehicles, the company's supply increased unsteadily from a low of 629,000 units in January of 2016. That's more than a 25 percent increase in the past year. Citing information from Autodata, The Detroit News reports that at the end of November, GM had a 168-day supply of LaCrosses, 177 days' worth of Camaro, 170 days of Corvette, 121 days for Cruze, 119 days for ATS, 132 days for CTS, and 110 days of CT6. Meanwhile, inventory of the company's more popular vehicles is actually below the professionally accepted 60- to 70-day supply, The News reports. The Trax, Colorado pickup, and GM's full-size SUVs are sitting below 50 days and experiencing year-over-year sales increases. GM needs a rethink of its inventory levels, which is something that's apparently coming. "We're going to be responsible in managing our inventory levels," GM spokesman Jim Cain told The News. Another unnamed spokesman told Automotive News the company's day-to-day supplies would "fluctuate before moderating at year-end." But at least one analyst thinks this won't be the last time Detroit needs to stop production to level things out. "Incentives are elevated, residuals are declining, and rates are rising," Brian Johnson, an analyst with Barclays, told The News. "And while GM in particular may benefit in the months ahead from new product launches, it's important to recognize that GM's inventory is elevated at the moment, and it wouldn't surprise us if they need to announce another production cut – which could pressure the stock."
