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.

Such Sweet Sorrow: Cadillac's CTS-V gets an Irish wake

Wed, Nov 26 2014

As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. The honkin', stonkin' second-generation CTS-V, powered by Cadillac's brawny supercharged 6.2-liter V8 has been a very good thing. And now that the 500 final coupes – the only CTS-Vs designated 2015 models – have been built (just five remain unsold as of this writing), it is indeed a good thing that's come to an end. But Cadillac is not letting 2009–2015 CTS-V go gently into that good night, even as its replacement is poised to debut in just in just two months at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Instead, Cadillac invited us to Austin's Circuit of the Americas racetrack for what it called an "Irish wake" for the model that has proven to be one of the quickest and most charismatic models in General Motors' history. If you don't know what an Irish wake is, if you envision storytelling, songs, debauchery and more than a little liquor, you'll be in the ballpark. In this case, though, adrenaline substituted in for the booze, with squealing tires and shrieking V8s providing the singing. The debauchery took the form of an all-you-can-drive lapping of COTA in all three bodystyles – coupe, sedan and wagon – and the stories were told by the grins plastered on our faces all day. First and foremost, we'll miss the CTS-V's perfect balance of luxury and sportiness. Even after six years with no major changes, the CTS-V is surprisingly spry. Certainly, you never forget that it's a heavy thing, weighing in anywhere between 4217 pounds for the manual-equipped coupe to 4424 for an automatic wagon, but with 0-60 times of about four seconds and the ability to hit about 150 mph on COTA's back straight, the Vs remain an absolute hoot on the track. Sure, some of its details – the blocky front fascia shapes and the spoiler on the sedan and coupe models, for example – look a bit dated, but the overall design still looks sufficiently badass. The interior design has worn pretty well, too, and however Cadillac may feel about center stack buttons being so last decade, we favor them over the capacitive-touch madness of today's CUE system. We're not going to bother doing another full review of the car here, but suffice it to say, there is plenty we will miss. First and foremost, will be the CTS-V's perfect balance of luxury and sportiness. Rumor has it that Cadillac will offer the 6.2-liter LT4 V8 in the next generation (we predict about 600 hp), but we hear that the new car will skew more toward luxury than balls-out performance.

Cadillac Lyriq EV debut delayed by Covid-19 virus

Tue, Mar 10 2020

The, coronavirus, otherwise dubbed Covid-19, has claimed another large gathering. General Motors canceled the public debut of its coming Cadillac Lyriq crossover, planned for April 2 in Los Angeles, due to fears over the continued spread of the virus. With more than 14 confirmed cases of residents with Covid-19, Los Angeles declared a state of emergency last week. Michael Albano, a communications director at GM, said in an e-mail to The Verge that "Our top priority is the safety of our media guests and employees." At the time of writing there's no word on a potential new date for the reveal for the highly anticipated crossover that GM just announced last week at a private event in Warren, Michigan. However, the automaker provided Autoblog with a statement that read, in part, "Please know we are working to reschedule the reveal as soon as possible." What we know about the Lyriq is just as compelling as what we don't know. There XT5-sized people hauler will be out to dazzle in every way, with a ton of weight on its shoulders — many will be judging GM's and Cadillac's past and claimed preparedness for the future based on this one offering. The Lyriq will be the first GM EV to sit on a new EV architecture the engineers call BEV3 and the marketers call Ultium, with battery capacities up to 200 kWh and a potential range of 400 miles. Speaking of which, GM just applied to trademark the term Tecra with the US Patent and Trademark Office, so we could be in for more information on innovative battery systems in the not-too-distant future. The automaker could forgo a public debut for the time being and opt to livestream the event. Or, who knows, it's possible the Detroit Auto Show just garnered itself a whopping debut for the show's debut event in June; the first rendering of the Lyriq aired at last year's Detroit show.

GM laying off 510 amidst slow Cadillac, small car sales

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

General Motors is laying off about 510 workers from two factories beginning in January, and it could be months before the automaker needs some of that latent capacity to come back on line. A combination of poor sales and high dealer inventories are prompting the cutbacks, according to Automotive News.
The largest changes come at GM's Lansing Grand River plant, where the Cadillac ATS and CTS are made. An entire shift of about 350 workers is being laid off, but the automaker hopes to find positions for some of them at other nearby factories. The decision leaves just a single shift building vehicles there. According to Automotive News, the move is partially spurred by Johan de Nysschen's plan to make Cadillac a more exclusive brand.
The lost shift will likely return for production of the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro at the plant, according to the report, but GM isn't saying when that will be. A previous announcement from the Canadian Auto Workers union indicated that the Oshawa, Ontario, factory would lose the coupe in late 2015 or early 2016.
