This 1991 Cadillac Fleetwood Sedan is a stunning example of automotive luxury. Not only does it feature a vinyl roof, leather interior and authentic, original Cadillac aluminum alloy wheels, it has the largest interior space of any American-built passenger vehicle in 1991, with rear legroom greater than that of the Fleetwood Brougham of that year and mildly suggestive of a limousine. Luxury is about space, but also about comfort: the tuck-and-roll leather upholstery and seat construction, combined with power adjustments up front add up to what is arguably the most comfortable seating available in that year of American automobile. Luxury is about a power sunroof and climate control and this Fleetwood has both. If luxury is about quiet and sure power, the 4.9 delivers it in spades, taking you along the highway quietly with excellent passing power when needed. Luxury is also about the little things too, such as the gold package, leather-wrapped steering wheel, tilt-steering, cruise control, front-and-rear reading lights and armrests, the unique Cadillac wreath emblem stitched into the backs of each seat, and the nine-piece genuine solid American black walnut wood trim. This last feature is surprising, as we have come to expect plastic masquerading as wood, even in Cadillacs. Luxury is also about color and white on white is breathtaking, not to mention rare. The Fleetwood is sitting on Custom Built Radial VII's from Vogue Tyre. They are marked M+S Wide Trac Touring. Tire size is P205/70/R15. They are four ply: 2 polyester cord and 2 steel cord. From Coker Tires, these high-quality tires add to the prestigious look of the vehicle and the degree of comfort. Purchased new in August 2013, the whitewall tires have 11/32" tread on the rear and just over 10/32" tread on the front. It is generally agreed that bigger cars can be more comfortable for a host of reasons, but two stand out: weight and wheelbase. A wheel base of 113.8 inches and a weight of 3459 lbs (just under 1 3/4 tons before fuel), combined with excellent suspension and ergonomics ensures a comfortable ride. The Fleetwood's 4.9L motor runs on Premium unleaded fuel. The Owner's Manual indicates that the motor produces 200 bhp at 4100rpm and 275 lbs. ft.of torque at 3000 rpm. Prospective buyers may know that this model of Fleetwood was previously powered by a 4.5L motor; I test drove a 1989 equipped with this motor and found it to be somewhat under-powered. Highway fuel economy is in the order of 25 miles per U.S. gallon (or 30 miles for the larger Canadian gallon) Vehicle history is important. This Fleetwood was never winter driven, never involved in an accident and never used commercially or for towing. It is rust-free. The previous owner bought the vehicle from the dealership. He asserts that it was never smoked in nor has it been since I acquired it in 2013. Originally, it was purchased by the dealer himself for his wife but she did like it. So, it was the property of the second owner from 1992 to 2013 and rarely driven after the first few years of ownership due to his poor health, the condition of his back making it painful to enter the vehicle. This explains the low mileage. He mentioned that the seating was better than his Escalade and that he'd gladly switch the front seats were that possible. The vehicle was garage stored all its life and rarely exposed to the sun or rain. The fine condition of the paint bears this out, as does the vinyl roof, glistening chrome and stainless brightwork. The rear seats were hardly ever sat in and show virtually no wear. Prior to purchase, I had the vehicle inspected by a trusted, licensed mechanic. I asked that all systems be examined and that the vehicle's mechanicals be brought up to perfect conditon, with no expense spared. To my knowledge, nothing mechanical is required. Should he or she choose, the prospective buyer could simply drive it home, whether that be a few hundred or a few thousand miles. I should add that the vehicle passed the New York State vehicle inspection on July 1, 2014. That being said, the vehicle is sold as is, without any warranty, either explicit or implicit. This Fleetwood has a few minor shortcomings that do not detract from it's overall look and performance. The white leather interior, while not torn anywhere, has a faded blue stain on the back of the driver's side seat, apparently caused some years ago by the bleeding of the dye from blue denim shirt of the previous owner(see photo). The cream-colored roof lining is a bit wavy on the two front posts (see photo). The AM/FM radio and cassette player is not working. The driver's side multi-door electric lock only works to open but not close the four doors. All the other door locks work properly. There is a scuff on the white rubber bumper guard and dint in the chrome (see photo); it is about 3" by 1/2". The repair makes it hardly visible, except on close-range inspection. Finally, there are a few very small stone chips unable to be captured with my digital camera, even in close-up mode. While not a mechanical defect, it should be noted in the interest of full disclosure that the automatic air-ride suspension, although it was working fine, has been converted to a regular suspension. This can be changed back by the new owner if desired. The service suspension light was not disconnected and could be by the new owner's mechanic, should he or she not wish to convert the suspension back to the original set up. The 1991 Cadillac brochure lists a full page of many standard features for the Fleetwood. A few of these are:: - digital instrument cluster - rear-wheel fender skirts - full-padded roof - front cornering lamps - anti-lock brake system - stainless steel exhaust system from manifold back - automatic door and trunk locks - automatic dimming inside rear-view mirror - illuminated, variable intensity visor mirrors (driver, passenger) - extendable dual sun visors - electronic climate control - rear package shelf storage - fuel data centre - illuminated entry system - twilight sentinel - rear-seat reading lamps - power luggage compartment release and pull-down - tilt steering wheel with leather-trimmed rim I have identified the following options on the vehicle (there may be others): - seating areas, leather - express-open Astroroof - power recliner driver and passenger front - 23K Gold-finish ornamentation Included in this sale is a package of unused gold-plated emblems (N.I.B.), the 1991 dealer brochure, the owner's manual, two sets of Cadillac gold-plated original keys and two FOBS (see pictures), the original front, rear and trunk mats with the Cadillac emblem. To sum up, this is a near-perfect premium vehicle being sold to make way for a cabin cruiser. If you have any questions, kindly e-mail me at akaay@webruler.com.

CES 2022 was huge for EVs | Autoblog Podcast #711
Fri, Jan 7 2022In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. CES took place this week, and there were some nice electric surprises from automakers, especially General Motors. John has been driving the Ram 1500 Power Wagon, as well as what seems to be its polar opposite, the electric Mini Cooper SE. Greg talks about the differences between the Acura TLX A-Spec long-termer (which is back in the shop) and the Type S loaner that's filling in for it. John's also got some interesting thoughts on leather interiors. Finally, the editors reach into the mailbag and help a repeat customer decide on a suitable replacement for a 2008 Lexus GX 470 in this week's Spend My Money segment.

GM, Pilot will build EVgo fast chargers at 500 truck stops across U.S.
Thu, Jul 14 2022All of our maps showing electric vehicle charging stations across the U.S. are going to need an update. Today, General Motors, Pilot and EVgo announced plans to work together on a nationwide DC fast charging network. The plan calls for 2,000 charging stalls that can deliver up to 350 kW to be installed at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers in the U.S. The goal is to have DC fast chargers available in 50-mile intervals across the country. The new charging stations will feature GM's "Ultium Charge 360" branding and "Pilot Flying J" logos but will not be limited to drivers of GM EVs. The plugs will use CCS connectors and be available to anyone. GM EV owners can take advantage of benefits, including the ability to make exclusive reservations, get discounts on charging costs and streamline the charging process with Plug and Charge and in-vehicle apps that can provide real-time charger availability. The first installation phase will take place in 2023, and "the bulk of the installations" should be completed by 2025, EVgo CEO Kathy Zoi said during a conference call with reporters announcing the plan. "We're gonna get going immediately and commence all of that engineering and planning stuff," she said. "We've got a pretty orderly plan." Pilot CEO Shameek Konar said the company expects the new EV charging stations to coexist with the current fuel infrastructure. "An average Pilot Flying J location is about 10 acres," Konar said. "This will be in addition to all of our gas pumps. The way I think about it is, this is a new source of energy that is going to coexist with gas for quite some time. We can debate how long, but we need to serve both groups of customers." Installing DC fast chargers at hundreds of Pilot's travel centers — aka truck stops — means there should be food, drinks, restrooms, WiFi and even showers available while you wait for an EV to charge. Pilot recently announced its “New Horizons” plan that will invest $1 billion in upgrading Pilot travel centers with more premium amenities, including expanded seating and lounge areas. While the exact amount of time it will take to charge an EV using these new stations will vary on the EV and its current state of charge, most EVs can refill from a low state of charge to around 80 percent in 20-30 minutes on a fast charger. The new stations are future-proofed to deliver up to 350 kW, a charge rate that few EVs today can handle.
Fullsize GM SUVs have a problem that's making owners sick
Thu, Dec 31 2015Some fullsize SUV owners are getting sick, thanks to a buffeting and vibration problem in 2015 model year examples of the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, Cadillac Escalade, and GMC Yukon. According to owners' complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the issue can vary from an annoying vibration inside the cabin to an experience so severe that it leads to dizziness and headaches. General Motors is aware of the complaints, but the fix isn't so simple. According to spokesperson Tom Wilkinson to Autoblog, the company "has been tracking this issue for a while." The problem has a fairly low incidence rate, but when it does occur the issue can be "uncomfortable and annoying for owners." There's no precise cause for the issue, Wilkinson claims, and in some cases, simply balancing the tires or changing the door seals can make it go away. However, not all of the fixes are so simple. AutoGuide dug deep into the problem and discovered a GM preliminary information bulletin that advised dealers to remove the headliner and to check the roof's bonds to the bows that go across the vehicle. However, that document included a note that the solution might not entirely eliminate things. According to AutoGuide, adding Dynamat insulation to the roof sometimes helped the problem. A GM spokesperson also told AutoGuide the company fixed the problem at the end of the 2015 model year, and didn't go into any more detail. This roof issue seems linked to some of the worst droning in these SUVs. According to one complaint from a 2015 Suburban owner to NHTSA: "Roof will not remain attached to the roof bows. This causes the buffeting similar to a window being down when all are up. The results span from annoying to painful." A 2015 Yukon owner claims to have another alleged cause for the problem in a NHTSA complaint from February 2015. This person brought their SUV to the dealer seven times over the course of four weeks for vibrations. The dealer replaced the driveshaft, suspension components, and more, but nothing worked. According to an engineer to the service adviser: "In an effort to prevent roll overs, they designed the frame and body mounts too stiff. There are 40 engineers working on issues, they have no solutions that work across the board." Wilkinson told Autoblog that GM is working with customers on an individual basis to rectify things. Since these are newer vehicles, dealers should also fix the problem under warranty.
