This fine example of the last of the proud Fleetwoods was originally built by Krystal Coach for the Mirage in Las Vegas, where it served 10 years. I bought it from the Mirage in '07 and have had it in continuous livery service ever since and is still in service until you buy it. 
The engine has been replaced with a correct LT-1 engine from a state police interceptor and is currently at about 150K on the motor. 
Paint, vinyl top, and tires are all in fair and serviceable condition. Heat, A/C, lights, radios, windows, and sunroof all work. 
There are some minor scratches, clear coat nicks, dings and imperfections as to be expected from continuous service as a livery vehicle. The passenger seat doesn't recline and passenger front door window has trouble rolling down. The fuel gauge doesn't work. But the trip meter does. so as long as you reset the trip and get gas every 250 miles or less, you're fine. There's a slight exhaust leak at the down pipe junction. And the check engine light is on because the new engine did not come with a crank position sensor wheel. I have the one off the original engine in the trunk. But just never got around to mounting it since it doesn't effect the running at all. 
But overall, it starts, runs, drives, and stops as it should and get's 24 MPH on the highway, 12 in the city, and averages 16-18 MPG. It is always well maintained. I use it every weekend for weddings, funerals, nights out, etc. and I actually drove it from Northern Ohio to Key West and back in February, and wouldn't hesitate to do it again tomorrow. 
I hate to let her go. However, I'm it's time to revamp my fleet with newer limousines. 
So here's your chance to own a limousine that has transported the likes of such celebrities as BB King, Great White, Ratt, Journey, Frankie Avalon, White Lion, Warrant, Eddie Money, Don Dokken, Kip Winger, Mark Wills band, Tim "Ripper" Owens, Mike "Mad Dog" Adams, West side Steve Simmons, Sebastian Bach, Paula Poundstone, The Manhattans, countless members of the Indians, Cavaliers, Browns, and the list goes on. 

So give it a bid and start your own limousine service with this tried, trusted, true, and elegant last of the proud Fleetwoods. 

I'm also selling a nearly identical '95 112" stretch Chicago Armor Fleetwood limousine in a separate auction. 

Lots of spare parts come with  the car. including door cards, window switches, a bumper, a door, and engine parts.

Cadillac Rear Camera Mirror | 2017 Autoblog Technology of the Year Finalist

Wed, Jan 25 2017

We give Cadillac a lot of credit for being the first to make good on the promise to replace mirrors with cameras and displays. That was good enough to earn the Cadillac Rear Camera Mirror a place on our 2017 Technology of the Year awards shortlist for new features. The idea behind this system is relatively simple; what perhaps took more doing was getting the regulations in place to allow a video feed to replace the government-mandated mirror. The hardware and that rules compliance starts with what looks like a normal rearview mirror – because it defaults to being a mirror until you switch on the display or in the event the system somehow fails. Flip the little toggle at the bottom of the mirror – the one normally used to switch from day to night mode – and the reflection is replaced by a very crisp feed from a camera at the back of the vehicle. This live stream gives you a wide-angle view of what's behind, without obstruction from back-seat passengers, headrests, or any bodywork. The camera is even shielded from weather and has a coating to shed water. What you see doesn't exactly look like a normal reflection, but the quality is good enough and you see more than you would normally with something aimed through today's small rear windows. But because it isn't actually a reflection, you have to make some adjustments. When your eyes are focused down the road, glancing at a mirror gives you a view the same distance away but in the rear. With the rear camera mirror, a glance back requires your eyes to first refocus on the display, which takes a moment. And unlike a normal mirror, which you look through at an angle, this display is angled toward the driver but projecting an image that looks straight back – no matter how you move it, the image doesn't change like a mirror's would. And because it's an image and not a reflection, you can't choose what's in focus and lose your sense of depth perception. It's not clear whether objects in mirror are closer or farther than they appear. And there are other limitations. For instance, while the display balances bright lights and dark surroundings well at night, it is tricked by LED headlights, which flicker at a rate faster than the camera shoots. The result is a distracting strobe effect like you get when you point a smartphone camera at any LED light source. For those with migraine sensitivity, this kind of fast flashing can cause real problems.

First Cadillac ELR rolls off the line

Thu, 30 May 2013

Gearing up for the Belle Isle Grand Prix this weekend, General Motors invited some of the Chevrolet and Cadillac racecar drivers out to its Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant. While there, the racers - including IndyCar Driver and Chevrolet Volt owner, Simona De Silvestro - witnessed the very first 2014 Cadillac ELR to roll off the assembly line.
These vehicles are not destined for customers, however, but instead pre-production units will be used by engineers for testing purposes. Actual production of ELR consumer models is expected to commence closer to the end of this year. As a refresher, this range-extended electric Cadillac shares much of its powertrain with the Volt but will have a sportier coupe design inspired by the Converj Concept. De Silvestro manged to snap a few images of here own, which you can see in the gallery below.

GM's Cruise Origin EV platform to be shared by many electric vehicles

Mon, Jan 27 2020

GM on Monday announced that it was spending $2.2 billion at its Detroit-Hamtramck facility, part of its $3 billion commitment made after the UAW strike to transform Hamtramck into the company's first plant to exclusively build a wide variety of electric and autonomous vehicles. The operation will eventually employ 2,225 people. Hamtramck is still building the Cadillac CT6 and Chevy Impala. Production of those cars will wind down Feb. 28, when GM will idle the lines for 18 months of retooling. During the transition, more than 800 workers will likely be transferred to build pickups at Fort Wayne, Indiana, or Flint, Michigan. When Hamtramck production of new EVs begins in late 2021, the Cruise Origin electric shuttle revealed last week will be among the first vehicles built there. Also, an electric pickup likely branded as a Hummer to be sold as a GMC, which will be debuted by LeBron James during the Super Bowl this Sunday. GM made quite a few pronouncements during the unveiling of the electric, autonomous Cruise Origin last week in San Francisco. We heard that the Origin was designed to last for for 1 million miles, be "roughly half the cost of what a conventional electric SUV costs today,” and riders could save as much as $5,000 per year by giving up their cars for Origins. Much was left out, as well, such as detailed specs on the platform, and when the Origin could see wide deployment. Carscoops addressed one open question about the platform, reporting that the Origin's bones will be shared among a number of other GM battery-electric vehicles, probably starting with the Cadillac EV due in 2021. The site received confirmation of that tidbit from Megan Soule, the automaker's assistant manager of Electrification, Battery Technology, Fuel Cells, R&D and GM Ventures Communications. It seems what we've been shown in the Origin is the first fruit of the multi-vehicle EV strategy GM CEO Marry Barra presented at the 2017 Barclays Global Automotive Conference. One of the slides (below, full PDF presentation here) touts an "All new multi-brand, multi-segment platform" with a "Structurally integrated all new battery system." The next slide places that modular platform at the center of 11 new vehicles, the van-looking silhouette on the upper right labeled "SAV," for shared autonomous vehicle, apparently in reference to the Origin.
