1995 Cadillac Fleetwood 6 door High Top/Presidential Top limo. Conversion by S & S!

We purchased it from Impala Motors in Memphis in August 2011 with 44K miles on it. The car most certainly served as a funeral limo. In 2010 it was hit on the passenger side and it was written off by the insurance company, then later repaired, thus the rebuilt title. As we understand it, what was repaired/replaced was the center door and glass.........Since August 2011, it's been the daily driver for me and has been very reliable. It is in overall good condition and has been well maintained. We have a notebook with all receipts and the service history while we owned it. The LT-1 350 CID V-8 engine has been running smoothly and despite the hefty weight of the car, it has had ample power. Starting circa October 2013 it started to occasionally very lightly sputter at acceleration. Brought the car to Christian Brothers several times for them to address the issue. Despite this, it still did not run right. They were not sure what the problem was other than they felt it could be condensation in the gas tank. I felt it was likely the fuel filter but they stated they replaced it. I then had them replace the spark plug wires. The sputtering issue may or may not have stopped but now it ran rough and had very little power. Not sure if they put the spark plug wires on correctly or not, ie, firing order or if it's the condensation issue in the gas tank or something else but she definitely is not running right and doesn't seem to be running on all 8 cylinders. I simply don't have the time, money or interest to fiddle with it any more and get it running right again as I purchased another car and need to sell this one. Time to clear up the driveway. PS: It took part in the 2012 Elvis Presley car show at Graceland! At that time it had a set of bull horns on the hood that we've since removed!

THE BAD:

REBUILT TITLE.
ENGINE NOT RUNNING RIGHT! Runs very rough, has little power but is drivable.
Has very noticeable and prominent exhaust leak.
When it rains the interior and trunk gets a little wet. Interior occasionally has odor of wetness.
Windshield washer fluid not functioning.

Front & rear AC not cold. Rear unit likely needs freon as it was cold last year.
Excessive wind noise from a couple of windows at speeds above 45 MPH.
Fuel gauge is a little off.
Rear view mirror has delaminated from the windshield and will need to be re-adhered.

.......and: Passenger side middle door lower moulding hangs a little (visible in photo). Small dent on hood which is barely visible. Indentation in grille. The vinyl roof is good but has one quarter size hole on top center and a few other small cracks. Drivers side fender light is cracked and a portion of the glass broke off and the bumper moulding on that corner is missing. Window tint is fair with a few scratches and flaws, most noticeably drivers side front which is torn. Passenger side front window tint is missing.

THE GOOD:
Great looking car with only 62K original miles.
Rare, hard to find High Top model.
Drives, rides, shifts and stops smooth and great (when she runs right) with no major squeaks or rattles. The car has a lot of life left in it.
Near flawless interior. No rips or tears anywhere. Dash not cracked or faded.

Water pump, distributor, rotor, spark plug wires all replaced just before I stopped driving it in December 2013.
New tires.
All power features except power antenna & power trunk work.
No warning lights of any type are lit up on the dash.
A lot of car for the money.

......and: This has been one of my favorite cars to drive. It drove like a car should with relatively low miles on it and with it's long wheelbase and LT-1 engine it had quite a road presence and it was a joy to drive. The middle seat has been switched to face the rear for true limo feel, but can be switched back to forward facing. All glass is good!

This dream home theater and office happens to be in a Cadillac Escalade [w/video]

Fri, Dec 19 2014

Need to take a ride cross country in the lap of luxury while still getting some work done? Short of a tour bus, the Concept One Curve from Lexani Motorcars might be one of the most comfy options imaginable. Lexani is usually known for creating opulent armored vehicles, but for the Concept One Curve it focuses on converting a 2015 Cadillac Escalade into a place for work or play. The company strips out the standard passenger compartment to install a higher ceiling with LED lighting, two leather-upholstered power captain's chairs and jump seats. However, the real highlight is a 48-inch curved 4K television mounted against the driver's partition. Don't worry about missing your favorite shows because there's a TracVision Satellite, too. The driver gets a re-covered seat of their own up front. If business needs to get done, the vehicle also includes a Mac Mini computer, tables stowed in the seats and connections for video conferencing. Of course, if you're riding in something this lavish, security might be a concern too. In addition to the window shades, the Concept One Curve features cameras to know what's going on outside. A touchscreen management system lets occupants control the whole setup from the luxurious chairs. Lexani claims that if all of this somehow isn't enough for a buyer, it offers even more options to fit their needs. Scroll down to watch a video tour and read more about this rolling home theater. {C} Lexani Concept One Curve Lexani Motorcars, a boutique luxury conversion company receiving vast international praise, has produced the Concept One Curve - the world's first 2015 Escalade with a built-in 48" 4K Technology Curved Smart TV. Lexani Motorcars is constantly pushing the boundaries of possibility for luxury transportation in everyday vehicles. The Curve is a revisited version of their latest model, the Concept One, with a television upgrade and electronic rear curtains; it is unmatched in its ability to be a premier theater one minute and a five-star mobile office the next. The curved smart TV-which rests on a proprietary electronic partition-is indeed impressive, but it is just one of the numerous amenities this discreet masterpiece boasts.

Why Cadillac needs a real truck in its lineup

Mon, Aug 31 2015

Premium brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and Cadillac sell vehicles that cover the spectrum from car to crossover to SUV. But trucks? They remain the last frontier when it comes to luxury brands. These days Chevy, GMC, Ford, and Ram sell cheap, bare-bones work trucks alongside loaded models that top $75,000. There is a reverse elitism that comes with this sales tactic. A brand gets to reflect a rugged working class lifestyle with the emblem up front, while what's behind it costs as much as a small house in middle America. But Americans who spend big money on cars and SUVs have always gradually tailed towards luxury nameplates over time. Everyone knows what an Escalade is, and thanks in large part to that image the Escalade is now the best-selling fullsize luxury SUV in the USA. Cadillac's flagship model, along with its midsize luxury crossover, the SRX, routinely outsell the competition from Audi, Mercedes, and BMW, not to mention Ford's Lincoln brand and most of the Japanese rivals. With trucks already dominating overall sales and headed into the pricing stratosphere, I believe it's time for Cadillac to consider a fullsize truck. And no, not a lipstick version that merely takes a Chevrolet Silverado pickup and throws in a few leather seats and some slight interior touches. That experiment already failed both for Cadillac (the Escalade EXT) and for Ford's Lincoln brand (Blackwood, Mark LT). Cadillac is an American brand that currently focuses a ridiculous amount of energy and resources trying to compete with European car offerings. The brand needs to create the Cadillac of trucks. Head honcho Johan de Nysschen has been blunt in his desire to "restore Cadillac to the pinnacle of global premium brands, not in sales but in aspirational brand character." This sounds well and wonderful. But the present problem in achieving this goal is that, on a global basis, Cadillac is a failed brand. Look at Europe, where Cadillac has sold so poorly in recent years that former Soviet manufacturer Lada managed more new registrations in 2014 by a factor of more than four to one. Cadillac is an American brand that currently focuses a ridiculous amount of energy and resources trying to compete with European car offerings. After more than 20 years of Cadillac models selling themselves as import killers, the only one with sustained success has been the CTS, and even that has been a marketplace loser for the last several years. The CTS-V?

It's going to cost $12 billion to fix Cadillac

Wed, Apr 1 2015

The Cadillac CT6's development predates Johan de Nysschen taking over at Cadillac, but the forthcoming flagship is the luxury brand's first major new product launch since the beginning of his tenure. The vehicle's debut also marks the beginning of a comprehensive $12 billion renewal plan bringing eight new vehicles in the next five years. Now, the former Audi and Infiniti exec is talking about joining Caddy and the company's future. "Cadillac will be a powerhouse global luxury brand that will command the respect of its peers," de Nysschen said about the forecast state of the company in 2020 to Bloomberg. He disclosed that three of those new vehicles under the five-year plan would be crossovers and reiterated that plug-in hybrids are on the way that would take advantage of the Chevrolet Volt's tech advances. De Nysschen also reminisced about joining Cadillac last year. He told Bloomberg that leaving Infiniti wasn't an easy decision, and there were apparently long conversations on the phone with General Motors President Dan Ammann discussing strategy for the luxury brand. De Nysschen was apparently clear that a greater investment and more autonomy from the corporate mother ship were vital. These days, the revitalization of Cadillac is just getting rolling. The company has a swanky New York office with a dedicated team to focus on the future. According to de Nysschen, the brand will grow its staff to around 150 people by the end of the year, compared to over 40 now. The marketing plan is to position the American luxury brand as a more distinctive product versus more common German rivals. It's going to be very interesting to see if this new Caddy can dare greatly enough to accomplish these lofty goals.
