1990 Cadillac Brougham - 5.7 Liter - SHOW CAR!
1990 Cadillac Brougham. 5.7 Liter, FE2 Handling Suspension, Trailer Package, triple white, blue accents with red/and blue pin stripe,. 24K mile perfect example. "As Good As It Gets" is the name I have bestowed on this particular Brougham, and the reason why is because nothing you see or have seen is quite like this one. I sold this car a some years ago to a collector here in town. Upon Mark's purchase, he took what was a near factory perfect saved car and made it a true #1 level show car. His idea was to make this car the way Cadillac should have done it if they had a Rolls Royce Budget. Although some of the details in this car will be lost to photographs, many can be seen, and as an overall package, it should literally blow you away. The end product here may be the most perfect Brougham in terms of details, quality and fit and finish the world has seen.
It took a driven person with a mission and a budget that could have bought a new Rolls to do this. You are not looking at normal, and as I said, this car may appear to be little different than some of the other nice ones you see, but side by side it is a few steps beyond. I have 300 mile New Broughams in my collection, although they are brand new perfect as the factory made them, they are not like this car in level of detail or fit and finish. The work put into this Brougham was done by Dusold Enterprises one of the finest Automotive Restoration organizations in the country. Now when I say restoration, that is not what this car needed. It was "vastly improved" upon from a perfect factory original. David Dusold set out to keep as much of this car's originality in place, and it the end product has as much, if not more, integrity than the original day one car. Where GM lacked, Dusold made up for by leaps and bounds. If you notice the fillers on this car, they are more perfect than any Cadillac of this era to date. The real weak point of the Brougham with the rear filler and trunk area finish out is the best ever taking all Broughams in consideration. The door jambs and underside hood are what we would label as "Rolls Royce" standard. Notice the strikers, sill plates and more. The headliner is one piece leather hide with a vintage pattern that fits the car. Sun visors and sail panels are doeskin leather to match seats with French stitching. The map lights are color keyed, under hood is high detail with all engine accessories and brackets finished to the highest level detail of any show car. All aluminum under hood has hours of polishing work and all the suspension parts have been powered coated. This is just some of the work, the rest of it would take a few paragraphs then some.
All in all, I have had over 200+ Broughams in my day, have seen the best of the best, have owned some of the best, but this particular car took it a good step further. Nothing is quite extravagant in the letter of perfection as this car has achieved. I have had lower mile, I have had more rare, I have had ones with 500HP engines built out of 2000 mile new cars.... However, the angle this car achieves is to please the absolute infinite perfectionist with the most detailed eye and over expecting demands. When a guy like me sells a car out of my collection, I always wonder and hope that what I have sold will meet the new owners expectations. It takes a while to get to know a car, so photos are not always the answer, but good ones sure help. If this car were ever sold and the person buying this car was not happy with it.... Well there has never been a car to date anywhere they would be happy with. And that is why this car is called "As Good as it Gets!
This car is not for everyone... As I stated and as many may know... I have 4 broughams in the collection right now with under 1000 miles, one that literally has never moved. All are their top respective examples, probably the best the planet has to show.... However.... None are to this level, as they simply were never made this way new.

The most detailed Brougham ever!
White is so hard to show how nice it is in photos.... This car made it easy!
The body lines of this car are that of the finest Concours Show car out there.
Zoom in and try and catch the detail
Look at the strikers and sill plates
Now go look at one of my brand new Broughams here... They will pale in comparison.
Custom built factory stereo with many mods inside. This REALLY sounds good.
Zoom in on the underside of the hood. Just nothing like that on these cars.
Screaming perfection from every angle.
A taste of what the engine compartment is like up close.

Almost half of US Cadillac dealers say no to ELR plug-in hybrid
Wed, Feb 19 2014If you've got $75,995 (or so) burning a hole in your pocket and a hankering for the new Cadillac ELR, you'd better call your local dealer before you burn up shoe leather and gasoline to head down there. According to a report on Edmunds, only about 56 percent of the brand's 940 dealers have signed up to carry the premium plug-in hybrid. As much as we'd like to see the more affluent among us driving on electricity, we can certainly understand the dealers' apparent lack of enthusiasm. The article cites costs of up to $15,000 for tools and training to sell the ELR. Show floor real estate is another consideration for dealers who aren't enthusiastic about sacrificing space for a for a vehicle with initial sales – just 46 units nationwide in the first two months, but that volume is expected to increase – that are as mediocre as our first drive impressions. Still, for those locations that co-habitate with Chevrolet dealers who already participate in the Volt program, the extra expenditure shouldn't be too onerous. The two vehicles share the same basic electro-mechanical drivetrain, so those dealerships should have most of the needed infrastructure already in place. The bulk of ELR sales, according to Cadillac's global marketing director Jim Vurpillat, are expected to be in along the coasts, in places like California, Miami and New York.

Cadillac V-Series Academy comes to Las Vegas [w/video]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013General Motors has added another high-speed education course to the curriculum at the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. The desert track already hosts the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School with Chevrolet Corvettes, including the ZR1, and they've just added the Cadillac V-Series Academy.
Open now, the one- and two-day performance driving school teaches "the finer points of high performance driving" using the 556-horspower instructional aids known as the CTS-V sedan, coupe and wagon. This is different than than using the CTS-V at the Monticello Motor Club on the east coast - that's part of a sponsorship deal that Cadillac has with the track. The driving course at the Motorsports Ranch is its own program that was developed by Fellows, and we have no reason to think the Cadillac edition won't be just as thorough and enjoyable as the one with Corvettes.
Unlike the 'Vette edition, however, it doesn't appear that you get an invitation to the program if you buy a CTS-V model. Classes are capped at 12 participants and run $1,295 for a single day, $2,295 for two days. There are a video and a press release below with more info.
2015 Cadillac Escalade is exactly what you expect [w/video]
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Leading up to the debut of the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, we were told that the new luxo-SUV would be "much less ostentatious" and that we could expect greater differentiation from its Chevy Tahoe/Suburban and GMC Yukon siblings. And while those things may be true to some extent, after digesting the full raft of Escalade information and photography, we can say that this new 2015 model is exactly what we were expecting all along.
No, there isn't a single part of the new Escalade package makes us go "wow" or "ooh," but it still looks like a solid, nicely updated offering that will surely attract the same sort of baller status when it hits the road. For starters, the new front end has been completely redesigned, where cleaner, tauter lines work with the full-LED headlamps and running lamps to create a face that, while familiar, falls right in line with the rest of Cadillac's lineup. Around the sides, the shape is exactly the same as the rest of the SUV's platform mates, with better-fitting body panels and a handsome, upright design. Of course, 20-inch wheels are standard, and hifalutin' 22-inch rollers are available (in chrome, we assume). Things get really interesting around back, where full-LED taillamps extend from the bumper all the way up to the top of the tailgate, and - like the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon - the rear window wiper has been integrated into the top of the hatch for a cleaner look. It all looks pretty modern and good, but doesn't really tone down the otherwise flashiness of the Escalade package.
Like its predecessor, the new Escalade will be available in standard- and extended-wheelbase formats (bring on the EXT!). Only one engine is available: GM's 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8, good for 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Both two- and four-wheel drive configurations will be offered, and the new Escalade should be a bit better to drive than the previous model, with a new coil-over front suspension and five-link rear setup, a wider track, variable-assist electric power steering and Cadillac's Magnetic Ride Control system with Tour and Sport modes.
