I am a collector of 1993-96 Cadillac Fleetwood Broughams. They are my hobby and my passion. It is my opinion that this is the best luxury Cadillac made. Offered for sale below is one of my best - 1996 Brougham, Dark Calypso Green with a rare hardtop and velour cloth interior.
SYNOPSIS: Virtually showroom new, 50,366 pristine,garaged, pampered, AutoCheck clean miles, mechanically perfect, rare hardtop,upgraded velour cloth seats, non-smoker, excellent Michelin white-wall tires,drives like a dream, and 26 mpg. DETAILS: History This is a Northeastern West Virginia luxury “Land Yacht” that’s been pampered by its two previous owners. It is essentially a one-owner Brougham. The second and last owner of this Cadillachad it for about three years and drove only 1,000 miles. Before I purchased this car, I contacted him telephonically and talked to the him extensively about its condition. He assured me that it is rust free and in mint condition. When I saw the car at the airport, his words came true. The car has been totally undercoated and both the body and the frame underneath have no rust. (See pictures below.) The seller is a 73-yearold retired gentleman who collects antique cars. He bought this Brougham from an estate sale. He loved this car but had to sell it to leave more garage space for his other antiques. He showed me a few of this antiques – mint 56 Chevy Bellaire, 64 Vette, 58 Plymouth and etc. He is as meticulously about keeping his car in showroom condition as I am. I am happy to be buying it from a collector because I know heb abied his car. As standard practice, I did an Auto Check. It showed no accidents. Cosmetic Condition Thisis a unique color Brougham, “Dark Calypso Green.” It is a mixture of emerald green with brilliant Australian opal shine and under the sunlight, you can also see a hint of blue saphire. It is near showroom condition. You'll be hard pressed to find a ding or a scratch. Standing at seven feet away, you’d think it is a new car. It has a rare hardtop. Ninety percent of the Broughams come with a vinyl top which could deteriorate overtime when not properly cared for. It also has the optional, upgraded gray velour cloth seats. My experience with the velour seats is that they are very durable. This Brougham shows no wear on the seats. The entire interior is showroom new without a tear, cut, crack or stain on the seats, carpet, door panels,dash, or the headliner. Even the factory floor mats are like new. When I took possession of the car, all of the mats and trunk were covered with another piece of carpet. As far as I can tell, the paint is original and it shines brilliantly. All the extensive bottom chrome pieces which set this vehicle apart are perfect without a ding or a scratch. Even the gray plastic impact trims are all like new and align perfectly with each other. There is slight bubbling of the thin spear chrome trims along the front fenders and the rear quarter panels. This is a factory defect. There are no rock chips on the hood and the windshield is perfect. Allfour Michelin white-wall tires have about 75% tread remaining. It has a full-size original Michelin spare inthe trunk that’s never been used. There is not much more I can say about the cosmetic condition of this car - it is virtually showroom new. MechanicalCondition The1500 mile drive was long, but it gave me an opportunity to thoroughly test drive this car. She handled beautifully with no issues. Everything worked except the heated seats – the cruise, all windows,A/C, heat, all seat adjustments, trunk pull down motor, radio (no CD) and etc. The famous 5.7 V8 LT1 engine was smooth,responsive, and powerful. The caraveraged an amazing 26 mpg on regular gas and I was going over 70 mph most ofthe time. It did not pull, shake or rattle. Knowing these cars like I do, at50,366 miles, it is not even broken in. 96s are more sought after because it was the last year this legend was made. As standard practice, I always change the oil when I arrive home. My mechanic puts it on a lift and checks for any leaks and other issues. He saw none in this car. The air filter was new so I did not replaceit. The brakes worked beautifully; I heard no squeaks. Conclusion: This is a rare find - gorgeous, gorgeous,elegant 96 Fleetwood Brougham with a hardtop and velour cloth interior. The previous owners maintained this Cadillac in MINT cosmetic and mechanical condition. There is nothing to do except to enjoy the best riding, most luxurious, almost indestructible 350 V8 LT1, fuel efficient and reliable American sedan ever made. “No matter where you go, you have arrived.” When new, this vehicle listed at $45,000.00. Youare buying a virtually new 96 Brougham at a 78% discount. Itis a collectible classic. Enjoy!!
This vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty implied or written. Price- $9,888.00 Please call Jim 281.608.1336 |

GM winding down Chevrolet brand in Europe
Thu, 05 Dec 2013If you've taken even a cursory look at GM's European strategy and wondered how it can target the market there with both Chevrolet and Opel/Vauxhall, you're not alone. In fact General Motors itself has found it difficult to justify the two-pronged approach. That's why it's essentially pulling Chevy from the European marketplace.
Instead of trying to ply European buyers with what are mostly former Daewoo products rebadged as Chevys, GM will now let Opel (or Vauxhall in the UK) represent its mass-market aspirations. Chevrolet will keep its presence in Russia and other former Soviet markets, and will continue selling certain niche products in Eastern and Western Europe. The Corvette, for example, has long been sold in Europe through Cadillac dealerships, which for its part is currently "finalizing plans for expanding in the European market".
While the shift in strategy is expected to help GM get a stronger foothold in the European market in the long run, in the short term the restructuring will cost it dearly: between $700 million and $1 billion, according to its own estimates, split between the last quarter of this year and the first half of the next.

2014 Cadillac CTS configurator open for business
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Cadillac has just set the new configurator for the redesigned, 2014 CTS live. While we've already tested out the new CTS, this is our first chance to play with all the interior and exterior color options and to get a fair idea of the price. The new CTS covers a broad swath from the $46,025 base model, with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, to the $59,995 VSport, complete with its brawny, 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6.
It doesn't take much to send the CTS's price up from there, though. Opt for the VSport Premium trim, and the price immediately jumps $10,000. Opting for one of the premium paint colors is all that's needed to nudge the CTS past $70,000. For reference, a 556-horsepower CTS-V (previous-generation, naturally) starts at $64,515.

2016 Cadillac ATS-V blasts into LA
Tue, 18 Nov 2014The first details about the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V recently hit the web ahead of the official debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Now, the latest model to wear Caddy's high-performance V moniker is officially official, and the specs are even better than initial rumors suggested.
The latest figures actually give the ATS-V a hair more power than first believed, with 455 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque pumping out of the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6. With a standard electronic limited-slip differential keeping rear wheels in check, Cadillac claims that the model sprints to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 185 mph. Buyers have two transmission choices that both offer launch control: a six-speed manual featuring Active Rev Match and no-lift shifting, or an eight-speed automatic.
Thoroughly revised suspension and braking systems should also mean that the ATS-V excels at more than just going in a straight line. The chassis itself receives extra bracing to boost overall stiffness by 25 percent over lesser ATS models. On top of that, a host of suspension upgrades front and rear, including third-generation Magnetic Ride Control dampers, mean quicker steering response and a tighter ride. Plus, Brembo six-piston calipers up front and four-pistons in the rear should bring rapid deceleration. To tune it all to the driver's whim, the Performance Traction Management system gives five settings to choose from for stability and traction control.
