1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham D'elegance Sedan 4-door 8.2l on 2040-cars
Ramona, California, United States
This 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham de Elegance is an original, San Diego car with no body rust. Comes with original bill of sale. I purchased the car from the original owners estate about two years ago, the original owner passed away about 12 years ago, the car sat in storage for 10 years before I purchased it. The original owner spent over $10,000 renovating the car in the late 1980's, it was driven very little after that, and not at all for the 10 years it was in storage. Receipts for work done are with the car. Mileage is believed to be the true original mileage, but no guarantees. Car is very clean, body is very straight, doesn't show any signs of having been wrecked. It was repainted with gloss black and clearcoat just before it went into storage. Paint is excellent except for a couple very minor blemishes and dings, as shown in the photos. 3 ea. Fleetwood emblems come with the car, they were never put back on after the car was painted. Interior has been completely redone, seats are black velour, and items that are usually subject to cracking on older Cadillacs, such as the dash, have been recovered in matching black vinyl. A couple of the door panel pieces and interior trim pieces still need to be attached more securely. There is one small blemish on the back seat that looks like a cigarette burn, as shown in the photos. Mechanically the car is sound, I've driven it for a couple 100 mile round trips in hot weather with no problems. When the car came out of storage, we changed the oil and trans fluid, flushed the cooling system, and installed new radiator hoses and thermostat, and flushed the fuel system with fresh gasoline. Car drives very well, has a slight stumble on initial acceleration, mechanic says the carb should be rebuilt due to the accelerator pump not working due to the years in storage. Car has passed California smog with no problems for Ca. purchasers. Climate control isn't presently working, it looks like the original owner was in the middle of a repair project on it when he passed away. This car isn't a show winning car, but's it's definitely a super clean driver - gets lots of approving nods on the road. |

Why we can't have better headlights here in the U.S.
Tue, Mar 13 2018It wouldn't be a European auto show if we weren't teased with at least one mainstream vehicle we can't have here. At the Geneva Motor Show last week, the small but vocal contingent of shooting-brake buffs lamented that the Mazda6 wagon won't be coming to our shores, although they can take comfort in the fact that the vehicle won't get the torquey 250-horsepower 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine we'll get here. Mercedes-Benz also announced a new headlight technology in Geneva that likely won't be available here anytime soon. It's just the latest in a long line of innovative and potentially lifesaving front-lighting solutions that the federal government doesn't allow in this country due to outdated standards — and a current lack of leadership at the U.S. Department of Transportation. Mercedes-Benz's new Digital Light system that debuted in Geneva uses a computer chip to activate more than a million micro-reflectors to better illuminate the road ahead. The Digital Light headlamps works with the vehicle's cameras, sensors and navigation mapping to adjust lighting for the given location and situation and to detect other road users. The Digital Light technology also serves as an extended head-up display of sorts by projecting symbols on the pavement ahead to alert drivers to, say, slippery conditions or pedestrians in the road. And it can even project lines on the road in a construction zone or through tight curves to show the driver the correct path. Digital Light will be available on Mercedes-Maybach vehicles later this year, although like any technology it's bound to trickle down to less expensive vehicles. That is, if we ever get it here in the U.S. Audi, a leader in automotive lighting, has repeatedly run into snags trying to bring state-of-the-art car headlights to the U.S. The German luxury automaker's recently introduced matrix laser headlight system, which performs many of the same trick as Mercedes-Benz's Digital Light, also isn't legal on U.S. roads. And five years after the introduction of its matrix-beam LED lighting, which illuminates more of the road without blinding oncoming motorists with brights by simultaneously operating high and low beams, Audi still can't bring that technology to the U.S. either.
GM intends to offer semi-autonomous vehicles by 2020
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Prepare for a few years of technological saber-rattling, as the world's automakers begin pushing to bring self-driving cars to market. Earlier this week, Nissan announced that it aims to offer autonomous vehicles by 2020, while Google, BMW and several other marks are working on similar efforts.
General Motors is doing things differently, though. Rather than push for a fully autonomous car, it's continuing to refine its semi-autonomous Super Cruise, a product that we tested in April 2012 and that will eventually see use on some Cadillacs before trickling down to the rest of the General Motors family. Super Cruise, which is undergoing testing in the Cadillac SRX, doesn't take complete control out of the driver's hands. Rather, under a very specific set of circumstances on the freeway, it will marry the capabilities of things like lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control to allow the driver to take their hands off the wheel. All of which sounds a lot like the system Mercedes-Benz is launching on the 2014 S-Class.
The system is still in development, according to John Capp, GM's director of electrical controls and active safety technology. Now that that the biggest hurdle, steering control, has been cleared, GM's engineers can focus on things like teaching the system to adapt to differing road conditions and visibility levels. As we reported in 2012, Super Cruise is still befuddled in low-visibility situations or when road markings aren't particularly clear.
GM to add 1,200 workers at 2 Michigan factories
Sat, Feb 29 2020DETROIT — General Motors is adding 1,200 jobs at two Michigan factories to build midsize SUVs and two new luxury sedans. GM said Friday that its Lansing Delta Township plant will get a third shift and 800 more workers to build the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave SUVs, which have three rows of seats. The Lansing Grand River plant will get a second shift and 400 more workers to build two new Cadillac sedans, the CT4 and CT5. Employees laid off at other GM factories will fill the new jobs first, then workers will be added, GM spokesman Dan Flores said. The company has not determined yet how many new people will be needed, he said. Both additional shifts will start working sometime between April and June, the company said. Lansing Delta Township now employs about 2,500 salaried and blue-collar workers, while the Grand River plant has 1,400. GM sold more than 147,000 Traverse SUVs in the U.S. last year, a 0.4% increase from 2018. Enclave sales were up 3% to just over 51,000, according to Autodata Corp. Related Video:
