Weatherford, Texas, United States

Starts up and runs well. Clean title. Car was purchased 2 years ago and used as a daily driver up until last month. 100% stock with exception to the tires. Has Oldmobile 307 V8, Bose Symphony Sound System, Sentinel Lights, Delay Wipers. Electronic Level Control still function normally. Tires have been replaced and have around 1,000 miles on them, front disc brakes were replaced last August, however, the rear drums need to be replaced soon. Transmission seal blew last July and was replaced. New belts and alternator, however, the alternator bracket needs to be replaced. Cigarette lighters and ash tray show signs of use, however, the vehicle has not been smoked in since it was purchased on June of 2012. Still has factory spare tire.

Car does need tlc; the transmission is beginning to slip under high rpms and hard accelerations (drives just fine otherwise), leaks antifreeze, left valve cover gasket is leaking oil, top of windshield leaks water when it rains, fuel gauge doesn't work (usually takes half a tank of gas by 100 miles on trip odometer) mechanic suggested replacing the shocks soon. AC doesn't blow cold air but heater works fine. Stock stereo and ac control panel work fine. Electrical problems are present; speakers prone to going out when turned up past 3/4 volume, power seats, cruise control, auto lock, power trunk pull down, and power antenna no longer work. Power windows work fine, interior lights work with exception of the map lights and drivers door work, windshield wipers work but the spray doesn't. One reverse light is out and needs replacement. Does have a dent in front bumper and cowl and the right bracket of the grille is broken. In addition, there is a dent on the right rear passenger door, all fillers are needing replacement, clear coat on hood is going out. Vinyl roof is in overall good shape, no cracking, just a few pockmarks. Left rear "Fleetwood Brougham" emblem is missing and the impression still faintly remains. I'm not certain if the tint is factory or aftermarket but is beginning to wrinkle on the right rear passenger window.

Overall, the vehicle would make for a good project car or beginner car. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions and/or need any more photos. If you live nearby and would like to physically inspect the vehicle, you are welcome to do so. Condition of the car is not warranted and is being sold as is.

Cadillac toned down ATS Coupe design due to customer feedback [w/poll]

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

Automakers always face a difficult decision when it comes to styling their cars. Design them too blandly and nobody will get excited about them. But style them too aggressively and they'll often end up turning off potential buyers.
Cadillac, for its part, is no stranger to aggressive design, but when it came to the new ATS Coupe, it elected to tone things down a bit. Speaking with The Detroit News in a wide-ranging interview, Cadillac design director Bob Boniface revealed that the original design for its compact coupe was edgier - closer to that of the CTS Coupe - with a wedgier profile, a more steeply raked beltline and a more severe grille. But potential customers surveyed in clinics apparently didn't like it. They found it looked heavy, inefficient and not fun to drive. So Boniface and his team literally went back to the drawing board and "took as much visual mass out of the car as [they] could." The resulting coupe, while handsome, looks far more similar to its four-door companion than did Cadillac's CTS.
What do you think, does the new ATS Coupe look just right, or is it too conservative? Voice your opinion in our quick online poll.

Cadillac planning more Vsport models

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

There's a new intermediate class of luxury performance cars emerging. Audi has been doing it for years with its S-line bridging the gap, in many cases, between the standard fare and the full-on RS performance range. BMW's getting in on it with the M Sport line slotting in below the full M models. And now Cadillac is joining the fun with its Vsport offerings.
Models like the CTS Vsport and XTS Vsport are packing a new 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 with 410 or more horsepower (along with bigger wheels and brakes) to slot in between the standard model and any impending V variant. Well, it appears Cadillac isn't about to stop there.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Cadillac product chief Hampden Tener revealed that, based on the response to the XTS Vsport, the brand is planning more Vsport models. He did not, however, indicate which would be the next to get the slightly sportier treatment. With the full ATS-V expected to pack a version of the same engine powering the aforementioned XTS and CTS Vsport models, an ATS Vsport would have to pack a smaller engine to fit in below. That only leaves the SRX crossover, Escalade SUV and the upcoming ELR hybrid. Food for thought.

GM moving international sales HQ to Singapore from Shanghai

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

General Motors has announced that it will be moving its international headquarters from Shanghai to Singapore, a move that will see 120 employees working from the city-state by the time business opens in 2014. Meanwhile, 250 to 300 of the employees at the Shanghai office will remain in China, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.
The shuffle is part of a bigger reorganization that will see GM isolate its operations in the People's Republic from its broader international efforts. This sort of divide-and-conquer strategy will allow GM to still react to emerging markets while, according to the WSJ, providing a dedicated management team for the Chinese market. The team in Singapore will be responsible for operations in Africa, southeast Asia, Australia, India, South Korea and the Middle East, on top of managing Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe, according to a statement from GM.
The shift to Singapore "will help us to create a renewed identity for CIO (Consolidated International Operations) and lead GM's umbrella strategy for the region," said GM Executive Vice President of CIO, Stefan Jacoby.
