Up for sale I have a 1987 Fleetwood FWD. It is white on white with red interior accents such as the dash and carpet. The vehicle runs and drives great and has been used daily up until the end of May when the registration expired. Rather than renew the registration we are pursuing a smaller vehicle that will provide my wife with better gas mileage for her 50 mile daily trip to work and back It made a great winter vehicle for her and has been run daily for the last 2 years. Current mileage is 241,000 on the 4.1 liter V8. So now for the good and the bad
first:
The Good,
1. New front and rear brakes within the last year including rotors, pads, drums, shoes and calipers
2. Rear Air Shocks replaced about a year and a half ago
3. New radiator installed within last year
4. Three year old Die Hard battery
5. Updated 16" factory Cadillac rims with recent tires that have at least 75% tread left
6. Many of the interior pieces have been updated / replaced
Have reciepts for all work that was done and parts replaced
The Not so Good,
1. will need a new front drivers side shock at some point currently rides a little firm
2. exhaust is a little loud not immediate but may need work done in a year or so
3. passenger side front window is inoperable - just stopped working one day during the winter and never looked into it (window is up) may be a switch fuse or loose connection other windows are slow but work fine
4. A/C works but needs a recharge - I can add Freon for the new buyer if they provide the cans, it has been converted to R-134a.
5. Headliner is sagging and there is surface rust and some undercarriage rust - she's not a looker but she will get you where you want to go
Other items of note:
Car comes with a factory Cadillac service manual and the original 14" wire hubcaps that came with the car. Front seats were replaced with a matching set out of a Deville, I have the original set if the buyer is interested. Drivers seat was ripped.
Car is worth $500.00 at the local recycle yard so please no low balls. Reasonable offers only please!
If you have under 10 positive feedback please contact me before making an offer, local pick up only in Leicester MA any shipping is the responsibilty of the buyer. Vehicle is sold as is and as described.

Liberace's gilded Cadillac could be yours
Tue, 27 Aug 2013With their chrome grilles and oversized wheels, it's hard not to notice a Cadillac these days. But this one is even more blingtastic on account of the 23.75-karat gold-leaf bodywork.
The 1931 Cadillac Golfer's Drop Head Coupé is said to have belonged to the inimitable performer Liberace, who didn't just have it covered in gold - he also had the exterior door handles plated in silver and the inside handles in 24-karat gold as well. It's also got a white leather interior and headlights that - well ahead of their time (if you'll pardon us, Mr. Tucker) - pivot with the steering wheel. All that bling is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission that pales in comparison to the seven, eight and even nine-speed gearboxes appearing on luxury sedans today.
The project was undertaken over the course of three years in the 1970s by one Jack Smith from Kansas. Smith (if that was his real name) sold it at auction in 1975, and it was most recently displayed for 12 years at a museum in Germany which claimed it was Liberace's own. The car is now going up for sale by Barons' at the Sandown Park horse racing track in Surrey, England, on September 17, when bidding starts at 85,000 pounds - equivalent to over $130,000 at today's rates.
2014 Cadillac CTS
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Fixated By Europeans, GM Ensures The Third Time Is A Charm
Few things are better for consumers than competition raising the bar. And no campaign seems fiercer than the one currently underway in the midsize sport-sedan segment now that Cadillac has introduced its all-new 2014 CTS to go head-to-head against the benchmark Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
While the CTS has been on the market for slightly more than a decade, up until this third-generation, Cadillac hasn't truly had the proper high-performance rear-wheel-drive architecture to build a genuine world-class fighter, both inside and out. And now that the American automaker has successfully mirrored Audi, BMW and Mercedes in overall vehicle size, engine output and cabin appointments, the first shots have been fired.
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
