This Cadillac was purchased new at Bill Copps Cadillac in Vancouver, Washington

on November 11, 1977 by Mr. Louis Krize.

The car was lovingly cared for by Mr. Krize and was soon brought to his home in Arizona where it was used lightly and always garaged.

After Mr. Krize passed away a friend of his purchased the car from his estate and he drove the car lightly as well.

Soon after the car came to California and I was able to purchase the car.

The car has been serviced and cared for and it shows.  The car starts and runs like it should and it is smooth and powerful! All options work including level-ride and A/C and power antenna.

This is a great driving car and handles nicely around town or on the freeway.

Drive anywhere!

Every angle of this car shows nothing but beauty!

Car comes with two sets of keys and one set of uncut gold keys from 1978 in the pouch.

Interior is so original and no cuts rips tears etc.

The car has been fully serviced and needs only a new home.

Thousands of dollars just spent on the following work done this year.



New master cylinder/booster

Belts/hoses

Battery

Muffler

Cooling system flush

Transmission service

Rear differential service

Complete tune up

Rebuilt A/C system (Compressor etc) coverted to 134A

Heater core

Valve cover gaskets

New front shocks

4 new American Classic 1.6" whitewall tires

Power steering high pressure line

New fuel pump and hoses

Alignment


The only work left to do is the headliner that is loose as they all are. It is tacked up but intact and useable.

The interior is amazing and clean and soft cloth (not sunbaked) wood trim is exceptional! Door panels and dash are crack free.  The body is straight and rust free, the paint is shiny and has very few imperfections.  Look at the reflections in the paint in the pictures.  The chrome is amazing as well.  This car is clean sharp and almost a show car!  There were 36,800 Fleetwood models produced in 1978, how many remain? You see many Coupe deVilles and Sedan Deville's But very few Fleetwood models.  And when you do see them they are almost never in this great shape.  This is one you can show or drive, your choice.

Please call with questions or to make an appointment to see this amazing car.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

Daily Driver: 2016 Cadillac ATS-V Sedan

Tue, Oct 13 2015

Daily Driver videos are micro-reviews of vehicles in the Autoblog press fleet, reviewed by the staffers that drive them every day. Today's Daily Driver features the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V sedan, reviewed by David Gluckman. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. And don't forget to watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Hey, it's David Gluckman with another Daily Driver. Today I'm driving a 2016 Cadillac ATS-V. This is the sedan model and it has the optional eight-speed automatic transmission. The ATS-V is the small performance car in Cadillac's lineup. It sits below the CTS-V, which is also new for 2016. Ever since the base ATS came out a few years ago, this has always been a wonderful chassis in search of a great engine to compliment it. This car really changes that. [00:00:30] They've dialed up the chassis, the suspension is a little stiffer, the body is even stiffer, and they've put this really nice 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 engine under the hood. In terms of power and torque, the new V6 outguns it's main bogey, the BMW M3 and M4. The Cadillac engine puts out 464 horsepower and 445 pound feet of torque, which is tons. [00:01:00] The one issue, though, is the way it delivers that power. It's not as smooth as the BMW and there's a bit of turbo lag that you really don't feel in the German engine. Once you get moving, however, this engine really just wakes up. There's no lag once you're at highway speed. You can floor it and there's plenty of power and torque for easy passes and runup to extra-legal speeds. [00:01:30] It's tons of fun there but around town it just kind of lacks a little bit of the smoothness and responsiveness that we're kind of expecting for a car in this class. The engine does sound pretty nice, though. It has this nice little growl when you start it up and when you get on it, it actually sounds more like a supercharged engine than a turbocharged one. It's a little strange, I think that's maybe some active noise cancellation that Cadillac is doing to cancel out the whooshes and whirs that we're used to from a turbocharger. [00:02:00] That's fine with me. Whatever it is, it sounds good. This car gets the same fancy rear limited-slip differential that the Corvette introduced a couple years ago. It does a really good job of keeping everything manageable. You almost can't tell that the car has 464 horsepower. It keeps everything in line.
