Sudden financial challenges are causing me to sell my two Cadillacs (1987 and 1956)

This 1987 car is very unusual in terms of its options:   in addition to all the regular accessories that were standard on this model, it has a factory sunroof which works perfectly, it has a driver's memory seat, it has auto dimming lights as well as twilight sentinel, it has an engine block heater, a power rearview mirror that works properly, and it has the velour seats instead of leather.  The fabric used on these seats is so amazing.  It shows almost no wear after all these years. It is unbelievably comfortable and never hot or cold.


This 1987 Brougham d'Elegance is my daily driver.  I am retired so the use is not all that much.  I also have been using this car in my volunteer work as a chauffeur for the Seattle Opera, giving rides to visiting artists.

I truly love this car and enjoy driving it.  I did not intend on using it on a daily basis, but once I experienced the quietness, the smoothness, and the excellent handling characteristics of this car I was unable to be satisfied with anything less.

Most people are amazed by the beauty of this car, particularly the interior which is so plush and inviting and comfortable.

As with any car I own, I keep this car in top shape at all times.  At this moment there are no issues at all.  The tires still have about a third of their life left, the brakes are wonderful, and everything functions properly.

When I got this car about five years ago, I had a new AC compressor installed, had the front end checked over and adjusted.  I also bought the Kumho tires which are really terrific for this car.   In addition, I have had a new exhaust installed which uses a free-flowing muffler and no resonator.  So the car has a nice engine sound and the engine runs just a bit more freely this way.  It is well known that this 5.0 liter engine is reliable but not all that powerful for such a large car.  I have done my best to keep it super tuned up, free-flowing in terms of the air cleaner and muffler, etc.  It really does run great and I am satisfied with the power.   I have also had the transmission serviced and examined as a precautionary step.  Nothing was wrong with it.


If I were asked to fault this car, I would probably say that the white paint is a bit past its prime, but no one would notice that except a critical viewer, because it looks just fine.  It has its share of little touch-up and imperfections, and there is one very small indentation over the rear wheel on the passenger's side.   A long time ago, someone must have smoked in this car because there are some tiny little empty spots on the driver's door upholstery, where ashes must have fallen and caused holes.  The car has no tobacco smell as I do not smoke and I do not allow smoking in any of my cars.  Plus the car has been detailed countless times in the interim.

The speedometer of my car is in Kilometers.  But I have listed the equivalent miles.

This car has been trouble-free during the time I have owned it.  I needed a new heater core last year, and I believe that has been my only expense in five years time.

2014 Cadillac CTS images leak out yet again

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

It seems the 2014 Cadillac CTS just doesn't want to stay under wraps. For the second time in as many days, Caddy's next sedan is showing a bit more sheetmetal than the automaker would like before it is officially debuted tomorrow at the New York Auto Show.
This time, the leak comes from USA Today, and we've gone ahead and added them to our gallery of 2014 CTS images. As you may know, Cadillac will bestow the next CTS with an all-new twin-turbo V6 engine that will offer up an impressive 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
USA Today also mentions a new Vsport model but doesn't give any more details other than the fact that it will boast the twin-turbo engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, all you have to do is come back to these pages for the official unveiling tomorrow afternoon for all the sordid details. In the meantime, check out the images above.
