Greetings to All!! imotors is quite pleased to offer possibly the nicest 1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Available anywhere! 1966 was the one of THE most opulent Cadillacs ever built. Notice the plush leather seating, wood on the doors, and the only year to have the twin tray tables fitted to the rear seating area... Simply Magnificent!!! We purchased this one right out of the second, long term owner's garage a few months ago in New Jersey. He cherished it for 28 wonderful years, driving it a scant 4,000 miles since he acquired it from the original elderly owners. He tells me that he owned a tire and repair shop, and that two elderly sisters purchased this Gorgeous Caddy new in 1966. They affectionately named her "Cleo"!
As he did all of the service during their ownership, they became great friends over the next 19 years, and in 1985, when one of them passed, the surviving sister insisted that he continue their love affair with Cleo, and become the next loving owner, which he was for 28 years, until he and his wife decided to head for warmer climates. Sadly, their was no room for Cleo. She is now available for her next long term love affair....could it be you??????
When Cleo arrived in Export, Pa. at International Motorcars, she was in fine, original condition. She was always garaged and babied, but seldom used(4,000 miles in 28 years). Looking her over, she had had some routine maintenance done over the last 28 years, such as recent exhaust and shocks, but needed some tender love and care to bring her back into the mainstream of life!!!
The first things on the list were a noisy water pump, and a seized up, original A/C Compressor. As I disassembled the front of the engine, I noticed a fair amount of corrosion on the seams of the radiator.......time to replace or recore? I also decided while I was there to do belts and hoses. Might as well do plugs and wires too!! As we all know, one thing leads to another!!! A close friend suggested that I mask her up a bit, and give the engine a fresh coat of Cadillac Blue paint. Good idea I thought!! As there were only 4 bolts that held the Carb on, I decided to remove it. As there were only 8 bolts that held the intake manifold on, I removed it also. Only 3 bolts and the valley pan was off, and I also removed the valve covers. Much easier to have all the pieces sandblasted before painting, and install fresh gaskets too! The engine was amazingly clean inside, and it was surely apparent that Cleo had been very well maintained over her 47 years!!
Upon reassembly, I did most of the vacuum hoses, and heater hoses too. All AC Delco parts were used when available, including belts, hoses, plugs and wires. A fresh Stant thermostat and radiator cap were fitted, along with a brand new water pump, and radiator. New fuel filter, air filter, and of course a fresh oil and filter change with Brad Penn 30W that has Zinc in it! The A/C Comprseeor was replaced with a rebuilt, along with a new receiver/drier, and converted to R134. I did not have the Rochester Quadrajet rebuilt(and I should have!). She does have a bit of a stumbly idle, which should go away with a rebuild. Cleo now starts right up, and runs like a dream. I also had the air cleaner powder coated, and did some light touch up to the rad support, and inner fenders with chassis black. I think it looks great, but not overdone!
This is an ORIGINAL, unrestored survivor Fleetwood with 34,900 actual miles that spent the last 28 years in a garage. Most of the paint is the original lacquer from 47 years ago. I believe that only the trunk lid was painted some time way back, but am not 100% sure. There are some nicks and blemishes, along with a small ding down low on the left rear quarter panel that is pictured below. I did not do ANY touch up, just a good buff and polish. The panels fit very well, and the gaps are all nice and straight. The doors still close with that "Thud" that we all know and love. I think she looks Fantastic! All of the original chrome is just Beautiful, with basically ZERO pits!!! Amazing!! There are a few on the center grille bar, a few on top of the front parking lights, a few on the small uprights on both cornering lights, and some on the vent window frames that you only notice when they are OPEN. These are VERY MINOR....you really have to look closely to even know that they are there!! There is some bubbling under the vinyl roof, on both sides at the rear. I decided to let the next owner decide what to do here. The Bridgestone radial tires are 28 years old, I am told. They look good, and ride good. Replacement is suggested before long term, high speed driving is attempted. The original Black Leather interior is just Gorgeous. It is totally original, with no dying done anywhere! You will notice in the many detailed photos below that the drivers door wood has some minor wear. I left this alone also, for originality, and for fear of not being able to match the finish. Options abound, with very few missing(heated front seats, power trunk, and front headrests, I think). Everything works just as it should, including the AM FM Stereo, and the Automatic climate control. The cruise control is inop, along with the power right rear vent window. The other three vent windows do work, but need a shove to close. All four main windows work fine, along with the power door locks and seat. We have the original owners manual, but no warranty book or Protect-o-Plate. One set of original GM keys with number punches not punched!
Unrestored survivor cars such as this are quite desired. Anyone can take a rusty old car, and do a no expense spared restoration, but as the saying goes......They are original only once!!!!!
Take a look at the 100 plus photographs below and see the actual pristine condition of this One of A Kind Fleetwood Brougham.
By bidding you agree to all terms set forth below.

President Obama has used the same armored limo since his inauguration in 2008. Known by many as The Beast, the Presidential Limo was provided by Cadillac and earned its nickname in large part because of its massive size, which isn't surprising considering that its Caddy-shaped bodywork is said to sit atop a heavy-duty truck chassis. It seems the Secret Service may be in the market for a Beast replacement, having issued a request for proposals for a new armored limo. According to Motor Trend, Obama's backup limo is a leftover from the Bush Administration, so it will be interesting to see if this new machine will serve as a replacement for The Beast or for its backup. The contract is to be awarded by September 29, 2013. The boys from MT contacted Cadillac, Lincoln and Chrysler, and Chrysler is the only one that would confirm that it is not pursuing the contract. Cadillac may have the inside track, as it has provided Presidential limos since 1993, but Lincoln also has a long and storied history of chauffeuring the President.

So much for that party. Cadillac has announced that it is walking away from plans to build a high-dollar, rear-wheel-drive ultraluxury sedan. The low-volume model would have been based on the lusty Ciel Concept, and the production iteration would have carried a price tag well over $100,000. Executives with the automaker reportedly claim the model wouldn't have bolstered the brand enough to be worth the investment. Even so, Automotive News reports Cadillac is still on track to build a range-topping four-door to go head-to-head with the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. That model will likely be constructed on the company's upcoming Omega rear-wheel-drive platform, but we won't see it bow until at least 2016. Right now, the front-wheel-drive XTS sits at the top of the Cadillac lineup, and while that machine and it's twin-turbocharged V6 variant makes a compelling argument against certain luxury entries, it falls short serving as a legitimate competitor for the likes of the 7 Series and S-Class for enthusiast drivers.

It's no surprise that for the newest episode of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, airing for the first time on the 4th of July, that a couple of American classics are involved. You'll Never Play the Copa unites Seinfeld with legendary curmudgeon Don Rickles, driving around in a stunner of a 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Seville in Gleneagles Green (upholstery wrapped in Grandma-spec plastic, of course). Mr. Rickles really steals the show in this one - maybe our favorite CiCGC to date - though the Eldorado plays a strong-jawed costarring role, for sure. Stories about Ronald Regan, Frank Sinatra, Billy Graham and, of course, Herkie Styles are more than worth the price of admission. Check it out below.
