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.

The 2014 North American International Auto Show is right around the corner, which means it's high time we found out which cars and trucks would be finalists for the prestigious North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards.
The finalists - three in cars and three in three trucks/utilities - are dominated by American brands, with two-thirds of the finalists hailing from either General Motors or Chrysler (don't worry Ford, there's always next year), while outliers from Mazda and Acura can be found in each contest. Here now is the list of finalists for the big prizes:
2014 North American Car of the Year:
Wed, 02 Jul 2014
No, that headline isn't a typo - General Motors has reportedly issued a recall for one of its own recalls. The recall of a recall affects the recall of the 2014 Cadillac CTS, which wasn't supposed to be recalled. Except that the 2014 CTS was supposed to be recalled. Oh no, now we've gone cross-eyed.
Allow us to explain. The redesigned, third-generation CTS Sedan does not feature a faulty ignition switch, while the 2014 CTS Coupe and Wagon, which are based on the second-gen car, do. And as it turns out, there are only 264 of those vehicles included in last week's 8.2-million-unit, ignition-switch recall. Model year 2003 to 2013 CTS Sedans, Coupes and Wagons are still covered.
It's not entirely clear how this, frankly, colossal mistake was made, although we're betting GM is rapidly trying to get to the bottom of this embarrassing issue. Regardless, let's just take what solace we can in there being one less vehicle that GM has recalled this year.

General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.
