Greetings to All!! imotors is quite pleased to offer possibly the nicest 1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Available anywhere! 1966 was the one of THE most opulent Cadillacs ever built. Notice the plush leather seating, wood on the doors, and the only year to have the twin tray tables fitted to the rear seating area... Simply Magnificent!!! We purchased this one right out of the second, long term owner's garage a few months ago in New Jersey. He cherished it for 28 wonderful years, driving it a scant 4,000 miles since he acquired it from the original elderly owners. He tells me that he owned a tire and repair shop, and that two elderly sisters purchased this Gorgeous Caddy new in 1966. They affectionately named her "Cleo"!
As he did all of the service during their ownership, they became great friends over the next 19 years, and in 1985, when one of them passed, the surviving sister insisted that he continue their love affair with Cleo, and become the next loving owner, which he was for 28 years, until he and his wife decided to head for warmer climates. Sadly, their was no room for Cleo. She is now available for her next long term love affair....could it be you??????
When Cleo arrived in Export, Pa. at International Motorcars, she was in fine, original condition. She was always garaged and babied, but seldom used(4,000 miles in 28 years). Looking her over, she had had some routine maintenance done over the last 28 years, such as recent exhaust and shocks, but needed some tender love and care to bring her back into the mainstream of life!!!
The first things on the list were a noisy water pump, and a seized up, original A/C Compressor. As I disassembled the front of the engine, I noticed a fair amount of corrosion on the seams of the radiator.......time to replace or recore? I also decided while I was there to do belts and hoses. Might as well do plugs and wires too!! As we all know, one thing leads to another!!! A close friend suggested that I mask her up a bit, and give the engine a fresh coat of Cadillac Blue paint. Good idea I thought!! As there were only 4 bolts that held the Carb on, I decided to remove it. As there were only 8 bolts that held the intake manifold on, I removed it also. Only 3 bolts and the valley pan was off, and I also removed the valve covers. Much easier to have all the pieces sandblasted before painting, and install fresh gaskets too! The engine was amazingly clean inside, and it was surely apparent that Cleo had been very well maintained over her 47 years!!
Upon reassembly, I did most of the vacuum hoses, and heater hoses too. All AC Delco parts were used when available, including belts, hoses, plugs and wires. A fresh Stant thermostat and radiator cap were fitted, along with a brand new water pump, and radiator. New fuel filter, air filter, and of course a fresh oil and filter change with Brad Penn 30W that has Zinc in it! The A/C Comprseeor was replaced with a rebuilt, along with a new receiver/drier, and converted to R134. I did not have the Rochester Quadrajet rebuilt(and I should have!). She does have a bit of a stumbly idle, which should go away with a rebuild. Cleo now starts right up, and runs like a dream. I also had the air cleaner powder coated, and did some light touch up to the rad support, and inner fenders with chassis black. I think it looks great, but not overdone!
This is an ORIGINAL, unrestored survivor Fleetwood with 34,900 actual miles that spent the last 28 years in a garage. Most of the paint is the original lacquer from 47 years ago. I believe that only the trunk lid was painted some time way back, but am not 100% sure. There are some nicks and blemishes, along with a small ding down low on the left rear quarter panel that is pictured below. I did not do ANY touch up, just a good buff and polish. The panels fit very well, and the gaps are all nice and straight. The doors still close with that "Thud" that we all know and love. I think she looks Fantastic! All of the original chrome is just Beautiful, with basically ZERO pits!!! Amazing!! There are a few on the center grille bar, a few on top of the front parking lights, a few on the small uprights on both cornering lights, and some on the vent window frames that you only notice when they are OPEN. These are VERY MINOR....you really have to look closely to even know that they are there!! There is some bubbling under the vinyl roof, on both sides at the rear. I decided to let the next owner decide what to do here. The Bridgestone radial tires are 28 years old, I am told. They look good, and ride good. Replacement is suggested before long term, high speed driving is attempted. The original Black Leather interior is just Gorgeous. It is totally original, with no dying done anywhere! You will notice in the many detailed photos below that the drivers door wood has some minor wear. I left this alone also, for originality, and for fear of not being able to match the finish. Options abound, with very few missing(heated front seats, power trunk, and front headrests, I think). Everything works just as it should, including the AM FM Stereo, and the Automatic climate control. The cruise control is inop, along with the power right rear vent window. The other three vent windows do work, but need a shove to close. All four main windows work fine, along with the power door locks and seat. We have the original owners manual, but no warranty book or Protect-o-Plate. One set of original GM keys with number punches not punched!
Unrestored survivor cars such as this are quite desired. Anyone can take a rusty old car, and do a no expense spared restoration, but as the saying goes......They are original only once!!!!!
Take a look at the 100 plus photographs below and see the actual pristine condition of this One of A Kind Fleetwood Brougham.
By bidding you agree to all terms set forth below.

When there's a former BMW executive heading Cadillac's efforts to boost sales of its only plug-in, it's a pretty safe guess that the marketing emphasis won't be on environmental friendliness and tree-hugging tendencies. The General Motors luxury brand has appointed ex-Bimmer executive Uwe Ellinghaus to be its marketing chief late last year, and the German-born Ellinghaus is now saying that he's targeting potential customers of Tesla Motors, in addition to BMW, for potential growth in sales of the Cadillac ELR extended-range plug-in. Appointed to Cadillac's head of marketing last November, Ellinghaus recently told Advertising Age that GM needs to highlight the Cadillac's looks and performance. He complimented Tesla for putting more emphasis on those attributes in the Model S than on its lack of emissions or lack of refueling costs (but Tesla hasn't shied away from highlighting the EV's savings). Ellinghaus says that trying to gear advertising "for people who are tree-huggers and green-wash an entire brand" won't be successful. You don't say. So far, the ELR hasn't made much of a dent in US car sales. Through May, Cadillac, which spent about $280 million on all of its US marketing last year, sold 293 units, whereas Tesla had been approaching the 11,000-unit figure for the Model S. With that in mind, Cadillac may be working on a sportier version of the ELR, as spy shots of a test vehicle from May revealed larger brakes and wheels. You can read our First Drive impressions of the ELR here.

Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000. The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.
