Up for Auction is a custom built 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Phaeton CONVERTIBLE LIMOUSINE built by Parade Coachbuilders in Florida. www.paradelimos.com.   This vehicle started its lie as a rear wheel drive Cadillac Fleetwood Sedan then it was stretched 48 inches in the middle behind the drivers door.   A middle seat was added and two doors were added with concealed door handles in the frame and no exterior door handles.   So middle exterior looks like s standard limousine with no door handles, hidden openers are in the front driver nad passenger door frame The rear 1/3 of the roof was cut off above the rear seat for wide open air riding.   This vehicle is called the Pheaton model.

The Phaeton is a term that comes from early 20th century coach building and it means open top.  In this case the roof above the rear seat has been removed.  The rear seat has been raised ten inches and a parade seat has been added on the rear deck.   In case it rains there is a snap on manual top that covers the rear seat so no rain will spoil your fun.

This vehicle is custom built and one of a kind with many one of a kind features including; front fender flag stands, front fender flag up lights, flashing lights on the front bumper.   Custom rear fender Cadillac marker lights, Fleetwood Phaeton badging, chrome roof grab handle (in case you want to stand up), rear parade deck chrome surround rails and much more.

This is an awesome ride reminiscent of early 20th century open rear compartment Parade Cars the President rode in and seen in every parade. This is the perfect vehicle for promoting a business, weekend touring, site seeing, charity promotions, vineyard tours, city tours, historic tours, a real estate business and of course parades. OR what i use it for just cruising to car shows and driving on sunny weekends. You can fit six people in the back compartment comfortably. 

 THIS IS A HEAD TURNER. You will NEVER see another one pull up next to you and this one is in mint condition.

THIS VEHICLE HAS just 47K miles on it!!!! THAT IS RIGHT JUST 47 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES. Mechanically for the gear heads, this Cadillac came from the factory with the formidable LT-1 Engine and matched automatic transmission which Cadillac borrowed from Chevrolet to give unbelievable power to this rear wheel drive car. This model is the last rear wheel drive model Cadillac built. The engine is the same engine as the Corvette of this year. Power is unreal for a large heavy car.

Exterior is finished in Cadillac Cotillion White paint and the paint is flawless and brand new. The vehicle has no dents or dings or scratches. The chrome trim and bumpers are also in excellent condition.

All the chrome on the vehicle is showroom new. The exterior features lighted flag stands on the front fenders. All badging is brand new chrome and it is fitted with "FLEETWOOD PHAETON" emblems on the rear doors.  There are a total of six doors that open but the middle doors have no door handles for a clean and finished limousine look.

The front driver’s compartment is finished in original medium blue leather and it is in very good shape with no rips or tears.

The rear salon is brand new in all aspects. The middle seat faces the rear. On each side of the middle seat are two cup holders and champagne buckets built in to the door panels. The rear seat is raised ten inches and has air conditioning vents under it that blows ice cold. The rear salon is fitted with medium blue vinyl which is brand new on the parade seat. The entire interior is like new and carpet is brand new dark blue with absolutely no wear anywhere. Dark blue Carpet and mats inside the rear are brand new. Parade seat in the rear is perfect matching medium blue and brand new. All door panels are like new condition. The interior and exterior shows absolutely no wear at all. The front compartment is factory with the addition of flag stand light switch (never ever fly the American Flag at night without lighting it) and interior special light package switch.

 There are two air conditioning systems in the vehicle with controls in the front for the factory air and the rear air conditioning system that has vents under the middle and rear seats for use to cool passengers during long parades.

White wall tires have a good 75% left on them and like new Cadillac Factory Correct Rims. The trunk is like factory with brand new full size spare, jack.

-Perfect Chrome Grab / Safety Bars on roof, if passengers stand) and surrounding parade seat.

-Perfect Chrome trim and perfect white paint.

The limousine is in mint condition with 47K miles on it. Reserve is low considering the original purchase and build cost of this vehicle.

We have used this car in parades all over Florida and have new buses coming in so one of these must go.

This vehicle is open in the rear 1/3 with a snap on roof that stores on the back deck or in the trunk.

 The manual top is vinyl just like the roof and clear plastic back window to cover the back totally if it gets caught in the rain. It stores either on the back parade deck or in the trunk and I would compare it to a boat bimini that takes 3 minutes to snap on.   That alone costs $1550.00 and it is yours with the car.

We never needed it and never take it out on cloudy days

We have many other pictures and a complete features list we can send serious buyers upon request by email thru Ebay Ask questions THRU EBAY before you bid please.

Cadillac will kill the plug-in ELR

Tue, Feb 2 2016

Johan de Nysschen, president of General Motors' Cadillac division, says Caddy's ELR extended-range plug-in won't have any future generations, Automotive News (subs. req.) says. The publication previously reported that the car would be around for another couple of years, but even that's questionable, and the model could be yanked even sooner. Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell confirmed that there won't be a second-generation ELR. "Subsequent generations of the car will not be developed," he wrote in an e-mail to Autoblog. "It's available currently as a 2016 model, and there's no change to that status." The model debuted in late 2013 and used a version of the powertrain in the Chevrolet Volt. The main problem, of course, was that the car had a $76,000 price tag that proved too much for most automobile buyers to stomach. Last year, GM sold 1,024 ELRs, down 22 percent from 2014's totals. By comparison, the Chevy Volt moved more than 15,000 units, and that itself was still down 18 percent from year-earlier figures. The merciful end to the ELR shouldn't be much of a surprise, as Cadillac Chief Marketing Officer Uwe Ellinghaus went on the record in December of essentially calling the model a dud. It's a far cry from the excitement, though, that the concept model of what was then called the Converj was unveiled to the public at the Detroit Auto Show in 2009. For those feeling misty-eyed or nostalgic, though, check here for Autoblog's First Drive impressions of the extended-range plug-in.

Cadillac caught testing the upcoming XT3 SUV again

Mon, Feb 20 2017

Days ago, the Cadillac XT3 was caught covered in more black plastic bags than an average Home Depot can hold. Now, more photos have surfaced of the compact crossover doing cold weather testing, still wearing binliner camo. There are still details that can be detected from underneath all the make-up, as the car wears a familiar Cadillac grille and edgy LED headlights. The rear shots do show tail lights fashioned into the camouflage, but those might be there just to throw everybody off: the C-pillars have lights way up from the usual spots, and that might be the location for the actual tail lights, giving the car characteristically narrow Cadillac style lighting in the rear. To match the German competition in this segment, it is likely that the XT3 will be powered by four-cylinder turbocharged engines, and the intercooler under the front bumper can be a confirmation of this.

Junkyard Gem: 1973 Cadillac Eldorado

Mon, Jun 13 2016

The 1971-1978 Cadillac Eldorado was a gloriously ridiculous personal luxury coupe, packing a monstrous 500-cubic-inch V8 (that's 8.2 liters for you freedom-hating metric types) under its acre-sized hood for the first five years of production. Fuel economy was comfortably into single-digit territory, which meant you had to be a real high roller to be able to feed a new Eldo after OPEC turned off the oil spigot. I found this '73 in a Denver wrecking yard earlier this spring. View 18 Photos This car appears to have been sold new in Denver, and the extensive bodywork and sanded areas indicate that it was someone's project car prior to coming to the end of the line. The front-wheel-drive system used in the Cadillac Eldorados and Oldsmobile Toronados of this era was known as the Unified Powerplant Package, and it used a longitudinally-mounted engine feeding a chain-drive setup that proved to be amazingly sturdy and reliable. So sturdy, in fact, that it was used in gigantic front-wheel-drive GMC motorhomes. Everyone agrees that these cars are cool, but few are willing to rescue a rough example and take on the difficult and expensive job of a full restoration. This one isn't rusty, but that wasn't enough to save it. Related Video:
