1990 Cadillac Brougham d'Elegance




77,500 original miles

Top of the line Cadillac

No Reserve Auction




Up for bids is this 1990 Cadillac Brougham in excellent condition.  This car was bought new in Southern Oregon and has had just 2 owners.  Mechanic owned since 1995, the car has been exceptionally well cared for and always garaged.

In the photo above you'll notice the grill medallion with the Roman numeral 14.  These "Heritage of Ownership" medallions are given to loyal Cadillac customers with a long history of new car purchases.  In this case, the original owner was awarded his 14th medallion with the purchase of this 1990 Brougham.  I've seen lots of medallions with fives and sixes, sometimes up to 10, but never to this level.  The original owner was definitely a Cadillac man.

The Brougham d'Elegance was Cadillac's top model offering for 1990 and was well optioned.  On top of that, this particular car was ordered with option code V4S, which had a specific interior trim design including tufted multi-button leather seats, three overhead assist handles, six-way power passenger seat adjuster, illuminated driver and passenger visor vanity mirrors, rear sail pane reading lights, Twilight Sentinel, power trunk lid pull-down, heated mirrors and factory alarm.  Additionally, special "Autumn Maple Firemist" paint was ordered, which was an extra cost option.  Lastly, this car features the desirable 5.7L V8, much preferred over the 5.0L powerplant.  To sum it up, this car is loaded.

At 24 years old, this Cadillac has already begun to offer a glimpse into an earlier era of automotive styling.  I doubt that Detroit will ever again make cars with heavy chrome bumpers.  Ditto for padded vinyl roofs.  Or bench seats with no console.  Before Audi, Mercedes and BMW took center stage these full size Cadillacs ruled the road, and the Brougham lead the pack.

 Click to enlarge any of the photos below, a link to a slideshow of all the enlarged images is available to view at the bottom of the page.

Finished in Autumn Maple Firemist, code 89, this car wears the color well.  The paint finish is glass smooth with excellent gloss and depth.  If you put your nose right up to it you'll see some small touched in chips here and there but overall the car stands tall.  The car has zero rust issues anywhere; this is an Oregon car, the land that rust forgot.  Tires are quality Michelin XW4's with good tread.

All of the glass is original and in good shape, the windshield has some small nicks but no chips or stars.  The padded top is in great shape with no fading or problem areas.

Clean and original trunk compartment with factory spare and jack.  The power pull-down option works correctly.  The tail-light filler panels are in great shape with no cracks or splits.

All of the trim on the car is in terrific condition.  

Both bumpers are straight and true with no damage.  Grill and surround are excellent.  All of the anodized and chrome trim are in great shape and can hold up to close scrutiny.
The 3rd photo below shows how the normally subdued Firemist paint comes alive in direct sunlight.  (The white mark below the pinstripe is not a defect, it's the top of the color keyed door edge molding)

The interior still smells like leather, it's in line with the rest of the car, just vey well preserved.  Ashtrays and lighters are unused.    

The tilt/tele steering wheel is in excellent shape with no cracks or splits.  All controls and features work correctly, including the cruise control and Twilight Sentinel lights.  The AM-FM cassette radio has good sound, the radio antenna doesn't auto-retract though.  I also can't seem to set the time on the clock in the way the manual specifies.  These 2 issues are the only glitches you'll find, everything else works just as intended.

Comfortable and roomy back seat with everything looking like new.  The small brake light indicators at the rear of the headliner work, as well as the fender top indicators.

Excellent headliner with no sags.  Optional auto-dim rear view mirror.  Good dash top with no cracks, splits or sun damage.  The glovebox contains the original owner's manual, informational cassette tape, wire wheel cover removal tool and an extra set of keys with factory alarm remote.

All 4 door panels look like new, all of the car's weatherstripping is like new as well.

Very clean doorjambs.  All power windows work quickly and smoothly, power door locks operate correctly.  This car has the optional 6-way seat for the passenger.  

This Brougham runs and drives every bit as good as it looks.  The optional 5.7 V8 delivers the excellent performance and power that it's known for.  This car runs down the road with an ultra smooth and comfortable ride, it brakes, steers and shifts like new.  I recently drove the car on a 4 hour freeway trip and it was perfect from start to finish.  Just kick back, relax, and finger-tip steer this land yacht to the horizon.

The AC has been updated to the R-134A standard.  All fluids and maintenance are up to date.

From every angle you can tell that this is a car that has been well cared for.

Rock solid and original undercarriage with no trace of rust and no signs of damage.

Shatner's Rivet motorcycle to enter limited production with CTS-V engine [w/video]

Sat, Apr 11 2015

William Shatner has entertained the world for decades, from playing Captain Kirk on Star Trek to covering songs like Rocket Man and Common People. Now in his 80s, Billy Shatz has embarked on one of his weirdest projects yet: helping to design the wild Rivet One trike with motorcycle fabrication company American Wrench. Now, you can order one too with power as crazy as the three-wheeler's design. We last saw the Rivet One's aluminum body with the styling like a menacing, art-deco easy chair a few months ago, but now Shatner has started talking about the trike's powerplant, which is based around the heart of a Cadillac CTS-V. "It's a beast with advanced guts. It's powered by an all-aluminum, computer-controlled, supercharged and intercooled V8 engine – producing over 500 HP," Shatner said to Gizmag. Keep an eye out because Shatner intends to captain the Rivet One from Chicago to Los Angeles later this year. Also, if you want a ride like Captain James T. Kirk, the company is taking requests for the trike, made on a build-to-order basis after completing Shatner's job, according to Gizmag. Prices aren't announced yet but expect the number to be as out of this world as a voyage of the Enterprise. The video below provides a further look at the Rivet One's unconventional design.

Next-gen Cadillac CTS-Vs caught in parking lot

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

A pair of camouflaged Cadillac CTS prototypes were spotted, and thankfully photographed, outside a grocery store in Southern California. From the image above - there are plenty more if you click over to TotalCarScore.com - it appears these could be testers for the 2014 CTS-V, but that is just speculation. We've seen the obvious "V" motif in the grille before, and there's what could be another "V" in the design of the side mirrors.
The hood on the car in the background appears to include two bulges, but the single shot that affords a tiny peek under the hood shows reveals only the airbox. Plenty of rumors, and the sight of an engine cover inscribed with the words "Twin Turbo," have caused people to wonder if a twin-turbo V6 will live under the production car's hood instead of the V8 currently there. In back, instead of the round tailpipes found outboard on all the CTS sedans, there's a pair of integrated tips in a parallelogram shape. A new shifter with contrasting stitching was spied in the cabin.
If predictions hold up it will arrive later this year. When it does, expect the body underneath all that camo to be softer on the eye compared to the current car - less science and more art. For now, hit the link to see more spy shots of what's coming.

Cadillac teases camo'd ELR ahead of Detroit debut

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

With the 2014 Cadillac ELR being introduced next week at the Detroit Auto Show, General Motors has revealed another picture of its luxury range extended electric vehicle. Last month, we saw a dark, teaser photo showing some of the body detail for the electric coupe, but this recent photo shows the Cadillac in full camouflage testing in California back in September.
If this car looks familiar, it's because our spy shooters got a jump on GM by catching the car in action and providing pictures from all angles. There are still no official details for the ELR yet aside from the fact that it will share the Voltec system with the Chevrolet Volt, but we'll finally see the car unveiled in Detroit a week from today.
