I am a collector of 1993-96 Cadillac Fleetwood Broughams. They are my hobby and my passion. It is my opinion that these are the best luxury Cadillacs 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 Cadillac had 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 he babied his car.

 

As standard practice, I did an Auto Check. It showed no accidents. 

 

 

Cosmetic Condition

 

This is 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 comes 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 other pieces 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.         

 

All four Michelin white-wall tires have about 75% tread remaining.  It has a full-size original Michelin spare in the 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 car averaged an amazing 26 mpg on regular gas and I was going over 70 mph most of the time.  It did not pull, shake or rattle.  Knowing these cars like I do, at 50,366 miles, it is not even broken in.  96s are more sought after because it was the last year these legends were made.  

 

As standard practice, I changed the oil after I arrived home.  My mechanic put it on a lift and checked for any leaks and other issues. He saw none in this car.   The air filter was new so I did not replace it.  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 exceptional 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. You are buying a virtually new 96 Brougham at less than 20% of its original cost.  It is a collectible classic.  Enjoy!!    

 

This vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty implied or written.

Twin-turbo Cadillac CTS coming

Cadillac to fight Audi A3, Mercedes CLA with small rear-drive sedan?

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

Compact luxury sedans are fast becoming the trend among upscale automakers. Mercedes has the new CLA (and its many platform-mates), BMW has the 1 Series and 2 Series, Audi has the A3 and, though Lexus apparently isn't interested in anything smaller than its CT 200h, Infiniti is getting in on the action with a compact model of its own. It would only follow logically, then, that Cadillac should launch a competitor, and according to the latest reports, that's just what it has in store.
Speaking with Car and Driver, Cadillac marketing chief Uwe Ellinghaus confirmed that such a project is in the works. But unlike its rivals, Cadillac aims to go with a rear-wheel-drive layout. This despite research that apparently indicates that a surprising 80 percent of owners think that their BMW 1 Series is front-drive. It's the driving dynamics and styling proportions that motivate Ellinghaus and his colleagues to stick with rear-drive, however.
The new model would in all likelihood be based on the same GM Alpha architecture that underpins the ATS and CTS - a platform that has helped Cadillac keep the weight down on both models and which is expected to underpin the next-generation Chevy Camaro, as well. The sub-ATS could be positioned as a four-door 2+2, however, as the ATS grows a little larger in its next iteration in order to make room for its new baby brother.

Autoblog's ultimate holiday rides

Tue, Dec 16 2014

Over the hills and through the woods, it's the time of year when many of us visit family and friends for the holidays. But getting there can be a chore. It's cold and snowy across much of the United States, and even if the climate is favorable, the drive to grandmother's house often is not. Think back to holiday road trips of yore: They probably included crying babies, antsy children, hungover adults and frequent bathrooms stops all around. Now, we're all at different life stages here at Autoblog, and the perfect car for one staffer might be as useful as a team of Budweiser Clydesdales to another. Some of us bounce from family event to family event with children and a labrador in tow, while others prefer a quieter, simpler holiday. But whatever the endeavor, we all need wheels. With that in mind, here is the unofficial Autoblog list of the ultimate cars in which to tackle the holiday season. 2015 Ferrari FF To borrow a chestnut from Top Gear presenter James May, "As you'd expect, I've done this properly." That oddly voluptuous ruby bolide in the photo above? It's a 2015 Ferrari FF – all 652 all-wheel-driven horsepower of it. What makes a Ferrari the ideal for holiday time in PaukertLand? My Midwestern winter breaks are wonderful, but they're typically frenetic and slushy, involving a lot of schlepping from house to house and even city to city, not to mention inevitable last-minute runs for forgotten presents and dinner ingredients. Needless to say, a powerful V12 is a welcome ally for such duties. And this one isn't just a friend when the road is clear. The FF has been gifted Ferrari's novel 4RM AWD system, and despite sitting lower to the ground than, say, an SUV, it's a pretty effective tool for real winter driving, especially when outfitted with a set of snow tires. Unlike other Ferraris, it's also a rather practical thing, with legitimate seating for four adults and 15.9 cubic feet of cargo space – that's precisely as much room as a Mercedes E-Class – and you can fold the rear chairs and cram 28.2 cubes-worth of holiday cheer in the back. Okay, so it's far from cheap and fuel economy isn't that great, but who cares? Just drop a paddle-shifted gear or two, bury the throttle and Repeat The Sounding Joy. Ain't the holidays grand? – Chris Paukert Executive Editor 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe My Mom gives out more presents than any other human being I've ever encountered.
