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.

CLICK ANY PHOTO FOR AN EXTREME BLOW UP!

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.

Cadillac recalls 17,500 SRX CUVs in Canada

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

When reporting on recalls, Autoblog generally tries to focus on the US market. However, a recent campaign in Canada seems important enough to be worth mentioning because it could eventually affect American drivers. General Motors is repairing 17,481 Canadian examples of the Cadillac SRX from the 2010-2015 model years because of the possibility of a loose nut in the rear suspension. For the moment, the automaker hasn't yet announced whether the CUV in the US would require a similar campaign.
The notice was dated September 18, 2014, on the website for Transport Canada, similar to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the US. It says, "the rear suspension toe link jam nuts" might not have been sufficiency tightened, which could allow a rear wheel to turn "inboard or outboard" while driving. If this happens, it could cause a sudden change in handling. Canadian Cadillac dealers are inspecting the parts and replacing the toe link if necessary.
This campaign isn't listed on the GM's running recall tally from September, which includes exported models, but it does list four other campaigns for the SRX this year - three in this range of years and one for the 2004-2006 model. Autoblog reached out to the company to ask about the possibility of this recall expanding to the US and were told "We have not publicly announced US recalls" for the issues affecting the SRX. The New York Times was given a similar quote. Scroll down to read the notice from Transport Canada.

Cadillac planning its own engines, halo cars

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Cadillac is in the midst of some big changes. It's got a new chief executive. It's taking some distance from parent company General Motors and moving to a new headquarters in New York. And it's instituting a new naming scheme that will allow not only for a more clear progression in its lineup, but also for more models. But that's not the end of the story. Not by a long shot.
Speaking with Automobile magazine, Cadillac's new president Johan de Nysschen revealed his intention to develop several new models and powertrains. For starters, he does not want Cadillac to continue borrowing engines from the GM parts bin, but intends to develop a new range of engines specifically for the luxury automaker. The program will likely start with smaller-capacity engines but eventually lead to new V8s as well, taking the place of the long-serving Northstar engine that finally ended its lifespan a few years ago after some two decades of production. Along with other technologies, de Nysschen envisions possibly sharing these powertrains with other GM divisions, but developing them first and foremost for Cadillac.
The bigger question, however, is where those engines would go, and de Nysschen had some thoughts to share on that front as well. For starters, the former Infiniti and Audi exec sees room for an even bigger sedan above the upcoming new CT6 that will cap the current range. Maybe even two of them. But that's not all. Johan wants to see Cadillac get (back) into the sports car game with a new halo model or two - something it hasn't really done since the Corvette-based XLR roadster. A pair of new crossovers are also said to be in the works, flanking the SRX on both sides with smaller and larger models.

The 2016 Pebble Beach Concept Lawn was nuts as always

Mon, Aug 22 2016

The Concept Lawn at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is like the smallest, most expensive car show you can imagine. A bunch of unobtanium concepts and almost-production models line an irregularly shaped putting green for people to stare at while on their way to see other, older insane cars. This year's crop was a particularly good one. We'll walk through the gallery above in order: That's a new Ford GT. Not quite a concept, but it's not in production yet, so we'll let it slide. Then there's the one-of-a-kind Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo that was recently bought by a Saudi Prince along with a matching Chiron. Next up is the Lamborghini Centenario Roadster, which was unveiled last week and is already sold out. This orange automobile is BMW's 2002 Hommage with its latest livery, a Jagermeister-themed affair called Turbomeister. This silver Infiniti, the Q80 Inspiration Concept, is an oldie but a goodie. It first appeared in Paris in 2014. The extremely long automobile after that is the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6, which was unveiled in Monterey this year. The 6 in the name is because it's 6 meters, or about 18 feet, long. Most of that's the hood. Next we have the one-of-99 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato coupe, which continues to be beautiful. After that is a Fisker Karma with a V8, the VLF Destino. Thank you, Bob Lutz. The black sedan you see after that is the Cadillac Escala Concept, which also made its debut in Monterey this year. Then we have a Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge. Not a concept, but exclusive enough to join the others. Next is the McLaren 570GT customized by MSO that arrived for Pebble 2016. It has special design touches plus an electrochromic panel to replace the normal glass roof. The light blue car is the Genesis New York concept. The name didn't change even though it was in Monterey. Then we have the large and in charge Lincoln Navigator concept, taking up two regulation concept spots. The red car with suicide doors is Acura's Precision Concept, which we first saw at the Detroit show this year. Another non-concept, the Lexus LC 500h at least looks futuristic enough to be a show-specific car. And here's a 2017 Maserati Quattroporte, which is definitely not a concept. A Bentley Mulsanne EWB, because why not? It's not available in the US, so that almost qualifies for concept status. Then there's a reproduction Lister Knobbly, which we could stare at all day.
