This Limousine was originally purchased by Industrial Indemnity Insurance Co. of San Francisco for the CEO. There were only 1,839 Limousines built by Cadillac at the factory in 1984 and this is one of them. This was the last year of the full length, rear wheel drive limousines built by Cadillac. In 1985, Limousines were outsourced to Limo companies that cut the cars in half and lengthened them, and they used front wheel drive cars that were smaller and less stately looking.

The Chauffeur was instructed to purchase a new Limo for the CEO and he got all the bells and whistles. From my research, only the Formal Limousine could get the six-way power seat, but this car has the six-way power seat.

It also has a reading light for the CEO that was added but it has stopped working recently. The car was repainted by the previous owner who was going to use it for livery services. The paint was faded when I bought the car and I buffed it out to get a shine. I replaced the right taillight housing as it was slightly dented from an accident. I replaced taillights and also the molding below the grille and front bumper. The vinyl top is in decent shape. There are bubbles beginning to develop below the sail panel at the belt line. I have kept the car garaged during my possession. I've replaced the plastic bumper to fender extensions at the front. The right side needs to be painted to match the paint on the car. Pictures show this.

I recently replaced the drive coupler on the front seat motor as the original disintegrated from age, so the power seat now works fine. The driver door window is a little noisy, it works but isn't as quiet as the rest. There is a foot wear spot on the driver side original floor mat. There are cigarette burns, one on the driver door and on the seat, pictures show these.

The car is leaking some oil, transmission fluid and differential oil. The cruise control works, but gets an attitude occasionally by surging. I've not used the cruise control much, so maybe it's from the lack of use. I put new tires on the car during ownership. They have low miles on them but are a few years old now. I have all the receipts for the work I've had done to the car as well as the 1984 Cadillac Shop Manuals that will come with it.

IT came with the V8/6/4 system but that has been disabled and runs on all eight cylinders all the time.

The car needs to go to someone who can maintain it and keep it up. It's a rare car in my view with only 1,839 built and the last of the Limos built at the Cadillac factory. If you have any questions let me know and I will answer them to the best of my ability.

The car easily passed emissions within the last month for it's registration.

MIT puts V2V technology on its 2015 Top Ten list

Thu, Mar 5 2015

Of all the technologies swimming around the automotive world, it is vehicle-to-vehicle communication that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has fished out as one of its Ten Breakthrough Technologies of 2015. It joined emerging tech like brain organoids, supercharged photosynthesis, and Project Loon on the list, and got the nod over autonomous driving because, as the MIT Technology Review wrote, V2V communication "is likely to have a far bigger and more immediate effect on road safety." How so? Because actual cars transmitting data like their location, speed, steering angle, and state of braking to one another at least ten times per second provides a greater degree of awareness than sensor readings and algorithms. The US Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have been working for years on standards and a regulatory schedule for introducing V2V to the marketplace, and Cadillac plans to incorporate V2V into at least one of its vehicles by 2017. Since we've begun the year with a number of stories of cars being hacked into, that got us wondering about the security of V2V communications. In a recent piece by our own Pete Bigelow on what motorists should know about getting their cars hacked into, he wrote that although cyber break-ins are extremely difficult, expensive, and time-consuming to do remotely, V2V is "one more conceivable avenue a hacker could use to impact multiple cars at a given time." So we spoke to Wilmington, Massachusetts-based Security Innovation about it. The automotive consultancy company has been working with the DOT since 2003 on V2V technology and the issues around it - namely security and privacy - and its chief scientist, William Whyte, is the technical editor of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1609.2 standard outlining its security protocols. Those protocols are expected to be finalized by the DOT toward the end of this year and then come into effect in 2016, and the company's Aerolink product is the security solution Cadillac will use. Whyte said, "If you hack into a car, V2V is the hardest place to start," and Pete Samson, the general manager of Security Innovation's automotive team, said "There are ten or 12 alternate attack surfaces" around the car that would make much easier targets.

Cadillac executive appointments have global flair

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

Cadillac has rearranged its executive suite in order to take full advantage of its sales momentum. Don Butler is moving from his role as US VP of marketing to a newly created position with the title VP of global Cadillac strategic development. It will be his job to "drive the next phase of Cadillac growth internationally," planning strategy and developing new markets.
He will be replaced by Steve Majoros, an exec poached from Chevrolet's ad agency of record, Campbell Ewald. Majoros, who has the Chevrolet campaigns "Like a Rock" and "American Revolution" on his resume, will oversee Cadillac's US and international marketing.
Another component in the brand's renewed global focus includes conducting an ad agency review. Announced last month, Fallon Worldwide remains Cadillac's agency of record, but others, said to include Campbell Ewald, will be bidding to make the creative that helps Cadillac expand sales percentages by triple digits here and in China. Scroll down below for the official press release.
