1985 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Coupe

43k miles

78 high resolution pictures below

This immaculate 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood only has 43k one owner miles.

The Coupe made up just over 10% of the RWD Fleetwood production for 1985. This body began production in 1980 to appease the loyal Cadillac owners that were disgruntled over the 79 Eldorado Biarritz being drastically down sized. This full sized coupe with all it's trimmings filled the "personal luxury" spot well and production ran through midyear of 1985. Very few of these were saved and finding a good one often takes years to find. On any given day you can find a nice low mile Eldorado of this generation but the low mile Fleetwood Coupes are very scarce and have become very sought after. The demand for this body amongst collectors have more than doubled in the last 5 years as many Cadillac aficionados are snapping up the best examples for their collections. 1985 was the very last year for this incredible body style and from a design standpoint was GM at it's finest hour. These Brougham Coupes were the last of a classic style era which will never be produced again.

1985 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Coupe in rare triple white(paint, top and leather interior).

I have had the privilege of owning several of these Brougham Coupes in my 20+ years of Cadillac collecting, and this particular example is hands down the best of them all. This Fleetwood has always been collector owned and garage kept. With only 43k miles, this Cadillac needs no excuses and stands well to be a very lucrative long term investment. The best resale colors for these are white, red, blue and black. As far as color combos, triple white and triple black lead the pack in resale value. The car detailer I use is one of an elite group called upon to prep very high dollar pedigrees for Pebble Beach. Aside from myself, he is the only one I will let touch my cars and he just completed an extensive detail on this Cadillac. You could put this Fleetwood directly into a car show today.

This is by far the tightest, smoothest driving Brougham Coupe I have ever owned. This is one of those "steer with one finger" cars, tracking straight with very smooth braking.

This Cadillac spins heads and gets many a thumbs up.

The bumper rub strips are like new with no scrapes.

All lenses are as new, crystal clear and free of cracks

Dripping with chrome

Perfect proportions and factory stance.

Curb presence.

This Fleetwood Coupe was ordered with a generous list of options, with a sticker price of almost $27k whereas a base Fleetwood stickered for $21,219. Some of these options include; Leather Seating Area($680), Twilight Sentinel($85), Passenger seat recliner w/six-way power seat($380), Electric Remote-control Outside Mirrors($101), Symphony Sound AM/FM Cassette with CB($570), Illuminated Vanity Mirrors Driver and Passenger($140), Illuminated Entry System($80), Rear Window Defogger including Heated Outside Mirrors($220), and the list goes on.

GM's highest paint process and quality control went into the Corvettes and the Cadillac division.

There has been no parking by braille done with this Cadillac. Wire wheel covers are free of curb rash.

Aside from the filler panels which where recently replaced and re painted with a perfect color match, this car has factory paint all the way around and is very glossy. No fading anywhere on this car. No dings in the fender well trim.

Class at every angle.

The body is straight as an arrow.

Again, beautiful chrome with no rubs on the bumper rub strips. Tail light lenses are clear and as new.

Vinyl Landau top is as new.

Chrome rocker panels are like the rest of the car,,,gorgeous.

Passenger side

Driver's side

ALL chrome on this Coupe is luscious and pit free. Shows so much better in person.

Standard of Excellence

Door jambs are rust free and in excellent shape

This Cadillac has a striking nautical color scheme with the white and rich navy two-tone interior.

As new.

No other Fleetwood quite like this one.

Front passenger seat close-ups

The leather in this car is amazing!

Time capsule

Dash is perfect with no cracks or fading whatsoever.

43k miles

Not a single door ding on this Cadillac. None.

This Fleetwood is so fresh. Door panels are plump and free of cracks. Door jambs and hinge area are free of any rust or corrosion all the way around.

Seat belts are still snow white, even on the drivers side!

Drivers seat leather perfection.

To see this Fleetwood in person will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. It is a sight to behold.

Headliner has been replaced and is perfect.

These leather seats are a work of art. The details are amazing.

Very smooth and quiet runner. I would drive this car anywhere.

All the original floormats including the trunk mat are still with this car and near perfect condition.

I doubt you will see another quite like this one come around anytime soon. VERY hard to find especially with the coveted triple white color scheme.

Bid with confidence, win with high expectations!

Cadillac back on track with 600-hp ATS-V.R racer in FIA GT3 spec [w/video]

Fri, 14 Nov 2014

There was already a rumor brewing that Cadillac might eschew the CTS as its racecar next season in favor of the ATS Coupe. It turns out that is absolutely the case, and now we know just what this 600-horsepower, future racer looks like. The coupe might not be limited to competing in just the US, though, because it's built to FIA GT3-specifications, meaning that this Caddy is also eligible to race in over 30 series worldwide against the likes of Bentley, McLaren, Audi and other premium brands.
The heart of this massively winged Cadillac is an engine dubbed the LF4.R. It's based around the unit in the production ATS-V and CTS Vsport but with larger turbos, bigger intercoolers, side exhausts and other tricks. Cadillac claims it makes a monstrous 600 hp and 520 pound-feet of torque in unrestricted form.
As the photo above shows, the ATS-V.R also wears an aggressive aero kit with a carbon fiber front splitter, and a wing at the back that could probably double as a picnic table in a pinch. The dry weight of the whole package is quoted at about 2,900 pounds, which is around 700 pounds less than the street version.

Is Cadillac working on an ELR-V? [w/video]

Mon, 12 May 2014

Could it be? Could Cadillac be working on an even higher-end version of its ELR plug-in hybrid? Well, General Motors' Executive Vice President Mark Reuss has gone on record as... well, not saying much. The exec was more than a bit coy on video (which you can view below) when asked about the idea of an ELR-V, although he did say that Cadillac was looking at "expanding the tuning envelope" for its plug-in coupe. What that means could be hinted at in these spy photos.
Cadillac is certainly up to something with this little red ELR. As is often the case, it's the car's enhanced brakes that give it away. Bigger binders are a telltale sign of sportier aspirations, and it's safe to say that rule applies with the ELR. The larger rotors and four-piston Brembo calipers are sourced from the Buick Regal GS, which we imagine would be plenty to bring the high-priced hybrid to a halt.
Obscuring those rotors and calipers are larger, double-armed five-spoke wheels. And, according to our spies, hiding behind that camouflage is a new grille. Outside of those two items, though, there's not much aesthetic change.

Cadillac dealers get $5,000 incentive for ELR test drives

Tue, 13 May 2014

The 530 Cadillac dealers - out of 940 total dealers - that signed on to sell the brand's ELR for $75,000 or lease it for $699 per month have managed to move 247 of them in the last five months. That's a little less than two cars for each dealer more than two dealers for each car if you need help with the math. With inventories of the luxury plug-in hybrid building up - Automotive News reports a 725-day supply - General Motors has created the Demonstrator Allowance Program to billow the sails on that slow moving ship, giving dealers $5,000 to promote ELR test drives.
A dealer with one ELR in its test fleet that racks up 750 test driven miles between May 1 and June 2 earns the fifty Benjamins, a dealer with two ELRs in the test fleet will get one hundred Benjamins. That will be added to summer incentives for dealers that pay $2,000 for units sold in July and $1,000 for units sold in August, while on the customer side, Cadillac has put "customer discount certificates" worth $3,000 on the hood for buyers and lessees.
Cadillac suggests this is about raising awareness of the ELR, but the question is how much dealers will be able to do for a car that observers - and buyers, apparently - still consider highly overpriced.
