'84 Fleetwood Brougham, 107k miles. Runs & drives well. Recently serviced. Straight body, good paint, excellent roof, gently used leather interior. Some minor/normal wear & tear, but looks good overall. Definitely an attention-getter.
If you haven't driven an old C- or D-body full-size Cadillac, you've been missing out on a unique driving experience to which today's cars simply cannot compare. The driver's seats feel like you're sitting on your favorite sofa, only with a steering wheel in front of you. The auto-leveling air suspension allows these classic slabs of Detroit steel to float quietly and comfortably down the highway. The spacious back seat holds three adult passengers in comfort. I acquired this car in Portland, Maine this past February while on a coast-to-coast road trip (thanks to some jerk who decided to smash into the car I had driven out there, leaving me without a vehicle 3000 miles from home). I drove the car from Maine to Flagstaff, AZ in February, and brought the car from Flagstaff to L.A. in April. It handled the long distances at high speeds with ease and I averaged about 20 mpg. The 4.1L V8 under the hood is certainly anemic by today's standards, but it does a decent enough job of getting all that metal moving and maintaining highway speeds. If I had enough room, I would happily hang onto it. The car has a 5-digit odometer that reads a little over 7,000 miles. Based on the condition of the interior and what historical registration records I could find, I believe the odometer has only rolled over once and it has approximately 107,000 miles. CLICK HERE FOR 60+ HIGHER-RESOLUTION PHOTOS: http://www.flickr.com/photos/teamperks/sets/72157644244636888/ I'll try to summarize the vehicle's condition below. Keep in mind that this is a 30-year old car, and some normal wear and tear should be expected of any car its age. INTERIOR: - Leather seats are in overall excellent shape for their age. The leather itself is soft and does not show any signs of brittleness, cracking, fading, or sun damage. The front and rear seats all look barely used, with the exception of a couple scratches on the driver's seat (see photos). - All carpeted areas are in good condition, and the headliner has no tears or stains. - All buttons and dials work fine, including power locks, window switches, power seat levers, etc. The glove box knob has come off; I still have the knob and the glove box can still be opened with or without the knob. - The dash is free of cracks, splits, and warping. - There is some minor peeling of the wood grain on the driver's door and a couple other minor interior trim blemishes (see photos). Overall, the interior is in very good shape for its age. - The trunk is in good condition. EXTERIOR: - Again, this is a New England car and, while it looks to have been taken care of overall, it has spent time on the roads in winter. As a result, there is some minor surface rust on non-visible areas of the body (such as the bottom interior of the doors) and beneath the frame. I haven't observed any areas of serious/significant rust anywhere, but keep in mind that I am not a mechanic. - With that being said, the car looks overall pretty good for its age. There is no major fading on the paint (though there is a small patch of paint peeling on the filler panel on the front passenger side). - Body is straight with no major dings, dents, or ripples. (There is a small ding on the hood and various minor scratches typical of any car.) - All chrome is in excellent shape and does not show any rust. - All body filler panels are intact and show no signs of brittleness or cracking. - Vinyl padding on the roof is in excellent condition, with no cracks or splits. - All light and reflector lenses are intact and free of cracks and discoloration. - I replaced the tires in February 2014, approximately 2000 miles ago. - I have removed the Cadillac emblem from one of the wire wheel covers. It was just loose enough that I did not want to risk it falling off. MECHANICALS: - Overall, the car starts, runs, drives, and shifts as it should. The ride-leveling air suspension is operable and has been free of problems. - The electric radio antenna is functional but doesn't always fully extend. - Windshield washer fluid pump seems to engage as it should, but no fluid actually discharges onto the windshield. I have not investigated this, but this is pretty common in older cars and is usually an easy fix. - The A/C isn't blowing cold and will at minimum need a recharge. The vehicle has received the following services in the past 3 months: - New distributor cap/rotor, new ECM, new fuel pump, & new fuel injector. (Performed by Terry Marxen Cadillac in Flagstaf, AZ.) - New EGR solenoid, new O2 sensor, new catalytic converter, and general tune-up. (Performed by E&E Automotive Service, a Cadillac specialist in Santa Monica, CA who has worked on all of my old Cadillacs.) - New rear brakes. This vehicle is located in Beverly Hills, CA 90212. I'm happy to accommodate in-person inspections/test drives prior to the auction end. If you plan on shipping the car, I'll gladly meet the shipper and help coordinate vehicle pickup, but the buyer will be responsible for arranging shipment. Registered through April 2015, just smogged, and I have clear California title in hand. I need the space more than I need this car. Come drive this classic Caddy home! Any questions, let me know (email is preferred over phone calls). Thanks! |

Cadillac XT5 platform to underpin three-row crossover
Wed, Mar 16 2016Cadillac just launched the XT5 crossover to replace the SRX. But that's only the start. Speaking with Automotive News, Caddy president Johan de Nysschen confirmed that a new three-row crossover is also on the way. The seven-seater is based on a stretched version of the flexible platform underpinning the XT5, which we just drove recently. Taking that approach will give the luxury brand a larger crossover to pit against the likes of the Infiniti QX60, Audi Q7, and Volvo XC90 without having to develop one from scratch. It will also give buyers a more car-like alternative to the larger, truck-based Escalade. "It's one of the benefits of having this very flexible architecture. We can expand it, make it longer and wider. That gives us the ability to develop the car very quickly, as opposed to starting from scratch," de Nysschen told AN. "It's not running yet. It is a program request that we initiated with the engineers only last year. They are working at remarkable, record-breaking speed to get us the car." The new model would likely be called the XT7 and offer similar levels of equipment to the existing, smaller XT5. The existing mid-size model packs a 3.6-liter V6 mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and comes in four trim levels. Related Video:
2021 Cadillac Escalade teases us with sliver of a design preview
Thu, Jan 23 2020We know the 2021 Cadillac Escalade will be breaking cover on February 4 to join its full-size GM truck compatriots. And now we know Spike Lee will have the honors of introducing the Cadillac at the Oscars through a short film he directed called “Anthem.” Cadillac also took the opportunity to tease the new Escalade's front end with this nugget of a preview. We get to see the grille, headlight and DRL design of the 2021 Escalade, staring daggers through Spike LeeÂ’s back in a studio. The grille is a traditional Escalade look, eschewing the grille design seen on more recent Cadillac SUVs like the XT6 and XT4. It uses larger silver bars that scythe across the front end as opposed to the mesh and speckled black/chrome seen on the Cadillac crossovers. Similar to the XT6, however, it does go with a horizontal main headlight and a vertical DRL. This marks a departure from the vertically-oriented headlights weÂ’re used to seeing on the biggest Cadillac. WeÂ’ll note that the bumper-width lower grille appears to be done in black, but thereÂ’s no shortage of chrome on this EscaladeÂ’s front end. Our best look at the interior is through a grainy video Cadillac teased to us about a month ago. ItÂ’s going to have 38 inches of curved screen, using OLED technology. ThatÂ’s going to be lovely to look at. The front end teased in this photo is plenty fine, too, but weÂ’re not seeing anything thatÂ’ll upset the apple cart from an exterior design perspective yet.
2013 Cadillac ATS Premium 2.0T 6MT
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The new Cadillac ATS is an impressive sport sedan, often considered one of the most serious threats to the BMW 3 Series. Unlike GM's previous attempts, this four door brings aggressive styling, commendable chassis dynamics and class-leading handling to the highly competitive battle. And, like its daunting German foe, Cadillac offer several powertrain choices.
I recently spent time with the ATS 2.0T Premium on my home California turf. Fitted with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox with a limited-slip rear differential, my tester was lightly optioned, with only a paint upgrade and a cold weather package. That brought the as-tested price to $46,305, configured the way I imagine most enthusiasts would prefer. This meant I fully expected to enjoy a week with a tossable sport sedan that boasted "fun-to-drive" as its middle name, but all was not well...
