1989 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d' Elegance "Executive Series" 63K Original Miles - Gold Trim - Presidential Hubcaps - Padded Roof Warning: If you are a private person, and do not like added attention, or getting into conversations with strangers, then DO NOT consider this vehicle. However, if you like to bring smiles to strangers, getting thumbs up wherever your drive, (the gas station, the market, the deli), or discussing cars with people, and letting them sit in the back seat because they have never seen an interior like this one, then this just may be the car for you. This is NOT for the shy and meek! This Cadillac is the last of the great ones, done with every option that was offered in 1989. The styling is not much different than the 1977-79 Cadillacs, but it is 12 years newer. It has power everything. This was sticker priced at nearly $30K in 1989, and now has entered ANTIQUE status. This is an "Executive Series" Car that is originally from Indiana, purchased by a retired military colonel in 1989. He sold it in 2005 to a man in Pennsylvania, and I purchased it last year from him. This car has been pampered it's whole life. No pets, no kids, and the interior is proof of it. It is black with a gorgeous quilted leather burgundy interior. The color combination of black on burgundy is stunning! It is equipped with reading lamps in the rear seats. I would imagine these were the cars used in the cities as limousines. It has the words "Executive Series" written on each window of the rear doors, with black lines running down the window to ward off the sunlight. The car is in beautiful condition It has been garaged and maintained meticulously. It rides flawlessly, like a Cadillac should. When you sit in the plush leather seats, you do not want to get out. The interior is outrageous. The whole car is outrageous. The chrome, the lines, the padded roof, the gold trim, the stainless steel, the hubcaps, the lights, the accessories. It has 63K original miles, and is tight all around. It is fully equipped. Air conditioning, AM/FM cassette, power trunk, mirrors, windows, locks, seats, tilt steering, sentinel lights, cruise control, antenna. (the antenna motor works, but it turned off) That's the only thing not working currently. I play my ipod through the cassette deck, so I don't use the radio. But you can pull up the antenna by hand if you like the radio. The interior digital clock works, as well as the outside tempature gauge. All the fans work, as does the heat. The heat is REALLY good in this car. (But for some reason, you MUST press the defroster key first to get the fans working, then it's absolutely fine. HIGH MED lOW all work, but to get it going, you have to hit the defroster key first.) The car comes with its original brochure, as well as one set of true GOLD GM KEYS, to go along with all the gold trim and accents of the car. It has a V8 307 motor. It is reliable, it is strong, and it is solid. BUT.....you will not win a drag race with this car. The car is slow to accelerate with it's factory produced 140 horsepower, but it cruises. Great around town. On the highway, it floats, but yet its tight. Gas mileage --- Maybe 14 MPG around town, 18-20 on the highway. She likes GAS.....premium. You can get away with 87, but I use premium, and the person I bought it from used premium. It is the last year of the 4 headlight look, and the non-digital dashboard. It has that 70's look, but 80's interior, and modern accessories. All three lights on both sides of the top of the fenders work. One for the blinker and parking lights, one for the headlights, and the third for bright lights. It's hard to believe it is now an antique. When I am driving it, it feels pretty modern to me. A true luxury car.... But then again my other car is a 1968 Plymouth Fury. There is not a speck of rust on this car.....nothing.....straight as an arrow. Some light scratches over the years, but not visible unless you are looking for them, or waxing the car, which I have done. And when it is waxed and polished, shines like new. Most of these Fleetwoods have wire wheels. But this one has what they call "Presidential Hubcaps" I LOVE these hubcaps! I have not seen another Fleetwood Brougham with hubcaps. All the glass is perfect, lenses are perfect, and all the lights work. If you are looking for a Weekender automobile that is plush, dependable, wonderful to look at, and fun to drive, or just a show car, this is the one. I have been in a multitude of conversations with people when I drive this car. It's crazy ! Good luck bidding. I can answer any questions through email, except how much the reserve is.

Cadillac SRX production moving to TN, next-gen Equinox going to Mexico
Fri, 29 Aug 2014It's a good week for the town of Spring Hill, TN, as General Motors has announced that its factory in the city of 31,000 will receive a $185 million contract to produce engines. On top of that, the next-generation Cadillac SRX crossover will be built at the factory (NA models are presently built in Ramos, Arizpe Mexico), which was once famous for being the home of GM's now-defunct Saturn brand.
The factory is one of GM's six facilities around the globe that will screw together the company's new line of three- and four-cylinder Ecotec engines. Spring Hill currently builds the 2.0-liter, turbocharged Ecotec, as well as the naturally aspirated 2.4 and 2.5-liter variants.
Spring Hill's vehicle assembly lines were idled in 2009, but were reactivated in 2011. The SRX is just one of the products meant to benefit from last year's $350-million investment, and should have a positive impact, creating or retaining around 1,800 positions at the factory.
General Motors Recall List
Wed, Oct 22 2014It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.
Cadillac to bolster CT sedans with XT crossovers
Wed, 01 Oct 2014Cadillac is moving swiftly to change up its naming scheme. Barely over a week ago we received our first indication that it was considering a different name its the upcoming flagship sedan previously known as LTS. Then Cadillac not only revealed the model would be called CT6, but announced that it would set the stage with a massive overhaul of its model nomenclature. And now we have another piece of the puzzle.
According to Forbes, Cadillac will not only rename its sedans with the letters CT, but will realign its utility vehicles under the banner of XT - both to be followed by a number indicating its place in the lineup. The one exception will be the Escalade, whose nameplate has such a strong following that it would be foolish for Cadillac to cast it aside. That leaves only the SRX (pictured above), but makes room for a new crop of crossovers said to be in the works.
It's a similar approach which Cadillac's new boss Johan de Nysschen took in revising the naming scheme at Infiniti. While it's bound to ruffle some feathers and scratch some heads in the beginning - especially since the company's current flagship sedan is called XTS - it's equally sure to make sense of it all in the long run. All we need to know now is what Nysschen and his marketing chief Uwe Ellinghaus plan to call the coupes.
