1966 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM
TWO OWNERS
39,654 ACTUAL MILES

The car has a neat history.  

The original owner was a man named William F. Powell from Philadelphia who got the title on 8-22-66.  
One of the cool things is a book suggesting service visits in which he noted the mileage on visits for the first couple of years.  (I think it's in the glovebox).  
He put on VERY few miles.
 
He sold it on 12-24-88 to a car dealer (probably a trade in) Auto World in Gathersburg Maryland.  
It had 26, 277 miles on it, meaning he had driven just over 1,100 miles per year. 
Auto World transferred it to a dealer in Springfield, MD - Motor City Auto Sales on 4-30-89.  
It had 26,690 miles on it. 
 
The current owner bought it on 6-20-92 with 26,815 miles on it, making him the 2nd registered owner.  
Over the past 20 years, he brought it up to about 39,600 miles or about 600 miles per year. I have all of this documented.
 
It was an original paint car up until it was hit in the rear of the car 14 years ago by a neighbor.  The car was painted completely, and the roof was all re-done.  It does have some minor rust starting from water trickling down the vinyl roof behind the rear windows.  This will need to be dealt with eventually, but most people don't even notice it, but I wanted to disclose it.  It's also missing the lettering on the right side - F L E E T W O O D.  At some point water had leaked into the trunk damaging the trunk liner, but you can find reproduction trunk liners now. The red/organe cloring you see in the trunk is NOT RUST it's the red oxide primer coating under the paint, the trunk is rock solid.
 
The interior is nearly perfect, including the original floor mats.  
The wood has some staining.  
The front vent window gears were replaced, they weren't available for the rear vents.  
(It has 8 electric windows!)
 
I just had a new muffler put on it recently.  It has rear air shocks, I'd replace the back springs.
 
The car runs great, it's tight, and fun to drive.  It has almost all options, except cruise, rear window defogger and heated seats.  I have a cruise control someone could add.  I also have the rear window defogger blower, etc that someone could add.  I also will include two extra wheel covers, a headlight bezel, and a couple of other small parts.  I think the cruise control and defogger cost me about $500 combined when I bought them. 
 
So, that's the history.  It was the top of the line Cadillac with the exception of the Limousines, and is similar in some ways to the Eldorado convertible for 1966.

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites

Sun, Jan 7 2024

Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.

GM says over 40% of new China launches in next five years will be EVs

Wed, Aug 19 2020

SHANGHAI — General Motors is planning an electric car offensive in China with more than 40% of its new launches in the country over the next five years set to be electric vehicles (EVs), the U.S. carmaker said on Wednesday. GM's electric vehicles, many of which will be all-electric battery cars, will be manufactured in China with almost all parts coming from local suppliers, the company said in a statement released at its Tech Day event in Shanghai. Reuters reported earlier on Wednesday that GM was planning to overhaul its Chinese line-up to stem a slide of sales after more than two decades of growth in a country that contributes nearly a fifth of its profit. GM's new China boss Julian Blissett told Reuters that new technologies, such as EVs and cars with near hands-free driving for highways, would play a key role in GM's China initiatives, which are part of a push to get annual sales in the country back to the 4 million peak it hit in 2017. GM did not say in its statement how many new or significantly redesigned models it was planning to launch in China over the next five years. "China will play a crucial role in making our vision a reality," GM CEO Mary Barra said in the statement, referring to its initiative to create what it describes as a future of "zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion" through electrification and smart-driving technologies. GM has said it plans to invest more than $20 billion in electric and automated vehicles globally by 2025. It was not clear how much of that investment will be spent in China.

2018 Cadillac CTS-V gets frosty with 115 Glacier Metallic Edition models

Sun, Aug 27 2017

To celebrate the company's 115th anniversary, Cadillac has introduced a special edition of the CTS-V called the Glacier Metallic Edition. Apparently, Cadillac really likes creating special edition models focused on ice and cold. The name comes from the exclusive Glacier Metallic paint, which to us looks like a shade of white, but according to Cadillac, it's actually gray. In addition to the special color, the car also includes the normally optional Carbon Fiber Package and Luxury Package, along with red Brembo brake calipers. It also fits silver and gray forged wheels instead of the black ones the Carbon Fiber Package typically comes with. All the other features, including driving instruction in Las Vegas, are the same as a normal CTS-V. This special edition Cadillac isn't cheap, though. It runs $103,885. Optioning out a regular CTS-V in the same way as the Glacier Metallic model would save you roughly $6,000, and you wouldn't be missing any features. What you would miss out on would be the exclusivity. Cadillac is only building 115 CTS-Vs in this special color. So if you want to stand out -- at least as much as you can with such a subtle color -- the CTS-V Glacier Metallic Edition is the Caddy to buy. Related Video:
