1970 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham 18k Mile Survivor! on 2040-cars
Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, United States
1970 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. Car was recently pulled from a garage where it was placed 30 years ago. This is an "A" title car purchased new from a family in 1970. Since purchasing the car, the following has been done: New Hancock white wall tires on all four corners, front pads replaced, new plugs, new fuel filter, new air filter, oil was changed and zinc added. The cars mileage is a little over 18,000, which is believed to be fully accurate, close inspection reveals factory components that coincide with the mileage, factory plug wires, factory air filter, factory riveted pads in the front, factory riveted pads in the rear. The plugs I took out where factory AC Delco, as is the cap and rotor. The original tires are included with the car dated 1971, but do have flat spots. The cars paint shows shiny with minor stone chipping in a few places, chrome shines with a beautiful gleam. The vinyl top is in excellent shape with a minor tear starting at the body line. Small spot of rust right above the trim molding on the passenger fender. Interior is in very nice shape with minor wear to the seats. All electronics appear to work with the exception of the clock. The car runs and drives, but will need a few minor finishing touches before it's really road worthy. The brakes pull to one side upon hard breaking, I would recommend replacing both front calipers to be safe. Transmission has a delay going from park to reverse, but all forward gears seem fine with plenty of pull. (After sitting for 30 years a trans service should really be done). All together this is an excellent example of an unrestored classic survivor with low mileage. Payment is due upon picking vehicle up. Delivery is possible within a reasonable distance, and can be negotiated with the winning bidder or before hand. I am available most times to show the car if you are local. Clean "A" Deleware title ready for transfer.

Cadillac Elmiraj has production potential
Tue, 20 Aug 2013There are many reasons to love the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept, but not the least of which is how production-ready this big coupe appears to be. Take out the overly fancy interior and a few conceptual elements of the exterior, and this looks like a coupe that could be in dealers now as the successor to the Eldorado.
On top of that, Automotive News is quoting Bob Ferguson, Cadillac senior vice president, as saying that a production version of this car is "very doable." AN adds that if the Monterey showstopper gets the green-light, this car would compete against the upcoming Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and would based on Cadillac's upcoming rear-wheel-drive flagship sedan due out in 2015. The range-topping coupe would debut sometime after the sedan model. Cross your fingers.
Despite strong profits, GM still fighting flat market share
Fri, Jan 17 2014Looking at the progress General Motors has made since it entered bankruptcy, it's easy to forget that the company still has a long way to go before it's the juggernaut it once was. A recent report from Reuters points out that, while GM is making money, it isn't making any gains in terms of US market share. Quite the opposite, really. Consider this factoid: In 1963, nearly half of the cars sold in the United States were from Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC or Pontiac. Now, the company's US market share is stagnant at 17.9 percent. That same number is half of just Chevy's 1963 market share. This is all despite GM going on a binge replacing or updating its models. "Market share increases are not instantaneous," Mark Reuss told Reuters at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. "We've got a lot of baggage. Don't underestimate what people though of us, or these brands, through these hardships and 30 years." The reasons for the stagnant market share are numerous. Reuters points out that retooling of factories and a focus on limiting incentives are both good things for profit, but not necessarily for market share. There's also the troubling turnover of the brand's marketing department. These issues don't change the fact that Chevrolet has lost 1.4 percent of its market share in two years, and that Cadillac - arguably GM's most improved brand overall - has lost 1.2 percent in the same period. Part of that can be blamed on GM's avoidance of fleet sales in favor of more profitable customer sales. "Our focus has really been on retail and that's where we've got the growth," said Alan Batey, GM's interim global marketing boss. "We want to grow GM and that means growing market share and profits, but it's not at all costs," Reuss said.

Cadillac's Euro reboot may have implications for US models, sales
Fri, 11 Apr 2014Firmly on the comeback trail in the US, Cadillac is still trying to get out of the starting blocks in Europe. At the Geneva Motor Show in March, Cadillac' senior execs revealed plans to grow the brand's presence in a luxury market dominated by the big three German marques, Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
GM President Dan Ammann says he sees "enormous" potential for Cadillac globally.
Over the past 20 years, the General Motors premium nameplate has tried and failed multiple times to break into the European market. This time around, Cadillac recognizes that progress will be modest at best, and depends on specific changes to models, some of which may impact the brand's US lineup. Planned new sales tactics in Europe may also impact the way Cadillac does business on this side of the pond.
