You are viewing the king of luxury "barge cars" of the early 1970's.  A 1973  CADILLAC FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM.  Nothing was longer or heavier - not Lincoln or Imperial of that era.  The only car in standard production which was larger, was the Cadillac series 75 (which was the commerical chassis for ambulances, herses, and limousines.)  If you owned a Fleetwood Brougham sedan, it was a status symbol in American culture before the downsizing and fuel crisis that soon followed.

The interior of the car is a must see.  No cracks, sun-fading, rips, tears, dents, or stains.  Car has been garage kept most all of its life.   The interior is olive green leather  with embroidery (...goovy).  Carpeting is all original, thick, with no stains.  The rear seat passengers have carpeted leg rests - a feature only found on the Fleetwoods.  All electrics operate on the car - power windows, locks, and the driver's six-way power seat.   The front seat is a split 60/40 design.    All interior lights work including the reading lights on the "C Panel".  What does not work is the power antenna (maybe a wire).

Original rubber (color correct) floor mats with the Cadillac crest come with the car.   The gold vinyl roof is all original and is superior!  The exterior paint is the original factory Phoenix Gold Firemist with maintained areas (an extra charge option back then).  So The flanks of the car are good as are the horizontal surfaces.  The very hard-to-find plastic fender fillers (1973 was the first model year for these due to the Federal Government mandate of 5 mph bumpers, which this car has)  are all there.

Air conditioning is R12.  Blower is strong, and the air conditioning does blow super cold air.   The caddy built 472 engine is strong coupled to a massive Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission which does have a very slow leak.  It is not enough to have the seal changed.   

Underneath is excellant with NO RUST.  Engine does not burn oil.  No smoke from exhaust.  No rust in the trunk with all of the original trunk carpeting including an original Cadillac rubber trunk mat.

I have owned this car since November of 2008 and I love it, but must sell it for room.   I have had it garage kept.   I have rebuilt the quadrajet carb and upgraded the exhaust with new muffler and tailpipes. removed all ca smog equip and have installed a custom bypass pulley.      This piece of equipment is unique.  The front is stunning!   The Fleetwood standard hood stand-up Cadillac wreathed crest is missing.   Talk about over the top...  anybody looking at this monster rolling up behind them on the highway will take notice!

I have the original window sticker with all of the original factory installed options.  Plus additional original brochures from 1973.  Included with the sale of the car will be a nice softback book about Cadillacs.  What a great package of Cadillac nostalgia for the Cadillac enthusiest.  

The car will be sold with the brochures and hardback book.   I am requesting only serious bidders for this car.  If you are knowledgable about this era of American cars - this is an outstanding example for you to consider.   The car does need to be restored to be able to say its a "10".   -  but....this would be an easy restoration job, with hardly any work to be done on the interior and some work on the exterior.   No re-chroming needed.   Come see this car and what AMERICAN ENGINEERING was all about.  

There was only 24,800 Fleetwoods made in 1973.   Only the 1973 models have the unique "beaver tail" rear end bumper.  Starting in 1974, these vehicles had a restyle keeping the same dimensions.  Few 1973's are on the road today.  This one is very driveable today and a head turner AS IS.

eBay Find of the Day: Ryan Gosling Eldorado from Lost River

Thu, Apr 9 2015

What's better than a car connected to Ryan Gosling? A car connected to Ryan Gosling and Matt Smith (the eleventh Doctor Who for our less nerdy readers). This 1966 Cadillac Eldorado convertible is driven by Smith in Lost River, Gosling's directorial debut. The movie was filmed in Detroit, with plenty of footage at the Packard factory, and the car is located in the nearby enclave of Hamtramck. Truth be told, this car has questionable star appeal and it needs a lot of work. Lost River currently holds a 20% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I've never seen an episode of any Doctor Who – a fact that amazes Seyth Miersma. And while I agree with Kroll Show character Wendell Shawn that Gosling is a "beautiful idiot," that's not enough for me to buy a car with an exhaust leak. The body on this Eldorado looks clean, but there is plenty of restoration work for the next owner. The listing states that most of the exterior and trim needs to be installed, and the front seats are in rough shape. Other details are vague – the carburetor "might need to be rebuilt" and the radiator and fan "may need to be replaced" but neither statements explain why. On the upside, the 340 horsepower (gross rating), 429 cubic inch V8 runs well. Reserve is not met at the current price of $4,000, but this could be a chance to get a classic '60's convertible for cheap.

Is this the 2014-15 Cadillac Escalade?

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Following the introduction of the redesigned Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, we're expecting General Motors won't wait too much longer to show off the next-generation fullsize SUVs that share this platform - including the Cadillac Escalade. It's still not clear if the next Escalade will debut for the 2014 or 2015 model years, but Carscoops has what it claims to an exclusive first look of the new Cadillac, revealing a portion of the headlight, front fascia and wheel.
Judging from this small picture, it looks like the Escalade could incorporate styling cues that we've seen on new Cadillac models like the ELR and the 2014 CTS, but that article says that other design details could include tall, vertical taillights similar to the CTS Wagon, staggered-width wheels and a narrower daylight opening for the side windows. The last time we saw the fourth-generation 'Slade back in October in spy shots, the heavy camouflage prevented us from getting an idea of the luxury SUV's appearance, but this image and description gives us something to look forward to. Head on over to Carscoops for more potential information as well as a full rendering from back in January.

Cadillac ATS Coupe spy photos show more sedate two-door

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Remember when the Cadillac CTS Coupe debuted, and we were all like, "Oh hello there?" Well, don't expect the same thing to happen when the new ATS Coupe is unveiled - these brand new (overexposed) spy shots show a two-door that's decidedly more sedate than the angular yet curvaceous and all-around good-looking CTS Coupe. This isn't to say that the smaller Caddy Coupe won't be attractive - the four-door version is plenty pretty, to be sure - it just likely won't have that extra somethin'-somethin' to truly set it apart from the sedan.
Fine, then. We don't doubt that the two-door ATS will be just as enjoyable to drive as its sedan sibling, with a lot of the mechanical stuff likely carrying over unchanged. That includes the powertrain options, meaning buyers will be able to choose from the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four, turbocharged 2.0-liter four, or larger free-breathing 3.6-liter V6.
Look for the 2014 ATS Coupe to enter production in January of next year, meaning a reveal later this year (LA Auto Show, perhaps?) would be in order.
