Up for Auction is a custom built 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Phaeton CONVERTIBLE LIMOUSINE built by Parade Coachbuilders in Florida. www.paradelimos.com. This vehicle started its lie as a rear wheel drive Cadillac Fleetwood Sedan then it was stretched 48 inches in the middle behind the drivers door. A middle seat was added and two doors were added with concealed door handles in the frame and no exterior door handles. So middle exterior looks like s standard limousine with no door handles, hidden openers are in the front driver nad passenger door frame The rear 1/3 of the roof was cut off above the rear seat for wide open air riding. This vehicle is called the Pheaton model. The Phaeton is a term that comes from early 20th century coach building and it means open top. In this case the roof above the rear seat has been removed. The rear seat has been raised ten inches and a parade seat has been added on the rear deck. In case it rains there is a snap on manual top that covers the rear seat so no rain will spoil your fun. This vehicle is custom built and one of a kind with many one of a kind features including; front fender flag stands, front fender flag up lights, flashing lights on the front bumper. Custom rear fender Cadillac marker lights, Fleetwood Phaeton badging, chrome roof grab handle (in case you want to stand up), rear parade deck chrome surround rails and much more.
This is an
awesome ride reminiscent of early 20th century open rear compartment Parade
Cars the President rode in and seen in every parade. This is the perfect
vehicle for promoting 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. 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 47K miles on it!!!! THAT IS RIGHT JUST 47 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES. Mechanically for the gear heads, this Cadillac came from the factory with the formidable LT-1 Engine and matched automatic transmission which Cadillac borrowed from Chevrolet to give unbelievable power to this 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 for a large heavy car.
Exterior is
finished in Cadillac Cotillion White paint and the paint is flawless and brand
new. The vehicle has no dents or dings or scratches. The chrome trim and
bumpers are also in excellent condition. 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 and it is fitted with "FLEETWOOD PHAETON" emblems on the rear doors. There are a total of six doors that open but the middle doors have no door handles for a clean and finished limousine look. The front driver’s compartment is finished in original medium blue leather and it is in very good shape with no rips or tears.
The rear
salon is brand new in all aspects. The middle seat faces the rear. On each
side of the middle seat are two cup holders and champagne buckets built in to the door panels. The
rear seat is raised ten inches and has air conditioning vents under it that
blows ice cold. The rear salon is fitted with medium blue vinyl which is brand
new on the parade seat. The entire interior is like new and carpet is brand new
dark blue with absolutely no wear anywhere. Dark blue Carpet and mats inside the rear are

new. 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.

on roof, if passengers stand) and surrounding parade seat.
-Perfect Chrome trim and perfect
white paint.
The limousine is in mint condition
with 47K miles on it. Reserve is low considering the original purchase and
build cost of this vehicle.
We have used this car in parades all
over Florida and have new buses coming
in so one of these must go. This vehicle is open in the rear 1/3 with a snap on roof that stores on the back deck or in the trunk. The manual top is vinyl just like the roof and clear plastic back window to cover the back totally if it gets caught in the rain. It stores either on the back parade deck or in the trunk and I would compare it to a boat bimini that takes 3 minutes to snap on. That alone costs $1550.00 and it is yours with the car.
We never needed it and never take it
out on cloudy days

complete features list we can send serious buyers upon request by email thru

Here's what else you could buy for the average new-car price of $40,573
Fri, Jan 22 2021Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. The average price of a new car in America hit a new record in December 2020: $40,573. Not that we're surprised — the average has been over $35,000 for the past few years — but seeing that baseline figure crest 40 large is still a sticker-shock to the system. So, as we do every once in a while, we put our collective heads together and came up with a list of alternatives that you could choose to buy for that sum, new or old, classic or practical. Now, let's be crystal clear about one thing here. We're not actually recommending you make this type of decision. That said, we wouldn't blame you if you did. Managing Editor Greg Rasa: $40,000 will buy a fully loaded Camry or moderately equipped crossover. Or, for $39,997, to be exact, one could go motoring in a fine British automobile. This 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante in Alabama has 21,452 miles on it, and depreciation has worked its cruel magic: It is listed for less than one-quarter of its $168,000 starting MSRP when it was new. A check of other used DB9s nationwide indicates this is a fair price. This Aston's CarFax reveals two owners. (One, really, as the second was a dealership. Looks like it got traded in for a Porsche.) If you're understandably concerned about reliability, its service history indicates no surprises to date. Remember, it has a 450-horsepower 5.9-liter V12. And spring is coming. Of course a used Aston Martin is riskier than a new Camry. But as Louis Prima sang, "Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think." What price beauty? Less than $40 grand. Associate Editor Byron Hurd: This price point opens up a ton of options in the "nearly new" luxury space, including a few good enthusiast picks, but my nod here goes to the Cadillac ATS-V. The discontinued, M3/M4-rivaling, 465-horsepower sport sedan and coupe can be had all day long in this price range with low miles. In fact, the real challenge is finding one in the spec you want, since it's one of those old-fashioned cars that actually presented the buyer with choices. Here's a clean, six-speed sedan in an actual color for less than our target price, for example. Coupes are more plentiful than sedans, especially in interesting colors, but there are plenty of them out there.
It's going to cost $12 billion to fix Cadillac
Wed, Apr 1 2015The Cadillac CT6's development predates Johan de Nysschen taking over at Cadillac, but the forthcoming flagship is the luxury brand's first major new product launch since the beginning of his tenure. The vehicle's debut also marks the beginning of a comprehensive $12 billion renewal plan bringing eight new vehicles in the next five years. Now, the former Audi and Infiniti exec is talking about joining Caddy and the company's future. "Cadillac will be a powerhouse global luxury brand that will command the respect of its peers," de Nysschen said about the forecast state of the company in 2020 to Bloomberg. He disclosed that three of those new vehicles under the five-year plan would be crossovers and reiterated that plug-in hybrids are on the way that would take advantage of the Chevrolet Volt's tech advances. De Nysschen also reminisced about joining Cadillac last year. He told Bloomberg that leaving Infiniti wasn't an easy decision, and there were apparently long conversations on the phone with General Motors President Dan Ammann discussing strategy for the luxury brand. De Nysschen was apparently clear that a greater investment and more autonomy from the corporate mother ship were vital. These days, the revitalization of Cadillac is just getting rolling. The company has a swanky New York office with a dedicated team to focus on the future. According to de Nysschen, the brand will grow its staff to around 150 people by the end of the year, compared to over 40 now. The marketing plan is to position the American luxury brand as a more distinctive product versus more common German rivals. It's going to be very interesting to see if this new Caddy can dare greatly enough to accomplish these lofty goals.
Cadillac Escalade gets $5,000 discount to ward off Lincoln Navigator
Wed, Nov 8 2017General Motors apparently isn't going to let early good reception for the redesigned Lincoln Navigator steal thunder from its own luxury SUV without a fight. It's offering a $5,000 discount on the purchase or lease of the Cadillac Escalade this month to any buyer who trades in a 1999 or newer Lincoln model, Bloomberg reports. GM spokesman Jim Cain told Bloomberg the incentive is being offered to keep prices competitive for the Escalade. The 2018 Navigator starts at $72,055, compared to $73,995 for the Escalade, but the outgoing version of the Navigator is selling for an average of around $53,000, compared with more than $80,000 on average for the Escalade, he said. The Escalade was the top-selling domestic luxury SUV in October and No. 4 in the segment, according to Motor Intelligence. It far outsold the Navigator, which last saw a refresh in 2015 and a full redesign in 2007. But Ford is hoping to gain back some ground with the new Navigator and updated Expedition, which also trails the Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevy Suburban in its segment. Bloomberg notes that one Morgan Stanley analyst estimates that GM owns a $2 billion annual pretax profit edge in the lucrative luxury sport utility segment. Our recent First Drive review called the new Navigator "far superior to its primary competitor, the Cadillac Escalade."Related Video:
