1993 custom old school Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham for sale. Good solid car that was my daily driver for quite a few years. Would make a good first car, parts car, or show car with a lot of work. Was kept in mechanically sound conditioned by myself and professional mechanics ever since I bought her. All filters and fluids (including transmission and differential) changed at specified mileage. Engine and trans were rebuilt at 80,000 miles and still run strong. As previously stated it was my daily driver so it is NOT showroom condition and does have some issues.

The good:

· Vogue Tyres new as of approximately 25,000 miles ago on 100 spoke chrome rims
· E&G classics grille with flying lady, trunk mount continental kit, and trunk belts and buckles
· Strong engine and transmission. Rides great 
· Brakes are good, replaced approximately 15,000 miles ago
· Recently replaced ignition switch, full tune up with distributor cap and plugs, K&N air filter, new belt, ball joints and recent wheel alignment
· Old school air shocks with adjustable height in the rear. Valve stem located behind license by gas filler cap (original automatic Cadillac level ride has been disconnected) 
· All power windows work
· Radio works

Known Issues:

· Fuel gauge is inaccurate and will fluctuate, always tracked the mileage and kept it topped off
· Odometer will occasionally go "crazy" and flash different mileages. This is a known issue with this year's digital odometer. It is intermittent and will fix itself for awhile before doing it again. Speedometer and trip odometer are always accurate and unaffected.
· Both the driver and passenger seats heat and lumbar do not work. All position settings are functional.
· Small spots of surface rust and sun burn in the paint. Spots of rust on the chrome rims. Honestly not that bad for a 21 year old car that's seen numerous Chicago winters. 
· Exhaust leak coming from the right exhaust manifold. Has been fixed before with high heat sealant. All pipes and mufflers (duals) after the manifolds were replaced a year ago including chrome tips. 
· Air conditioning does not work 
· Drivers side rear door does not open. Locking mechanism was broken from the inside by previous owners.
· Large rip in leather in rear seat
· Traction control is disabled due to faulty sensors

Obviously there is absolutely no warranty implied with this vehicle and will be sold as is. I have tried to give the most honest description I can so please feel free to contact me with any further questions. Any honest offers around the selling price will be considered but please don't low ball me. The grille alone is worth around $300 in the used condition it's in. I am NOT willing to part it out either. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. I will meet you close to my house for the sale, I will NOT bring the car to you but will assist in any shipping that may need to be worked out. I work a lot of hours and overnights so I may not be able to respond right away but I will respond. Thanks for looking.

2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport [w/video]

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Bridging The Gap With Power And Poise
As you read these words, West Coast Editor Michael Harley is preparing to drive the brand-new 2014 Cadillac CTS along the gorgeous, sun-drenched roads of Southern California. And while I'll wait for Harley's full report before I put words in his mouth, I'm willing to bet he enjoys the hell out of Cadillac's new CTS. In fact, I'm sure of it.
I say this with confidence because, about a month ago, I spent the better part of a day flogging the new CTS Vsport around the 2.9-mile Milford Road Course - a challenging circuit laid out in the infield of an oval test track at GM's proving grounds in southeast Michigan. The MRC was built about a decade ago after Bob Lutz was lured out of retirement to work closely with GM's product development team, and thus, this circuit is known informally as the "Lutz Ring." The main objective of the MRC was to have an in-house facility for engineers to fine-tune vehicle dynamics, without having to constantly schlep cars over to Germany's infamous Nürburgring. (Of course, they still do.)

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.

Junkyard Gem: 1997 Cadillac Catera

Sun, Jun 16 2024

GM's Cadillac Division was having a tough time in the early 1990s, with an onslaught of Lexuses and Infinitis pouring across the Pacific to steal their younger customers while high-end German manufacturers picked off their older customers. Flying an S-Class-priced model between assembly lines in Turin and Hamtramck hadn't worked out, so why not look to the European outposts of the far-flung GM Empire for the next Cadillac? That's how the Catera was born, and I have found a rare first-year example in a North Carolina car graveyard. Across the Atlantic, GM's Opel and Vauxhall were doing good business with prosperous European car buyers by selling them the sleek rear-wheel-drive Omega B (whose platform also lived beneath the Holden VT Commodore in Australia). Here was a genuine German design that competed with success against BMW and Audi on their home turf! So, the Omega B was Americanized and renamed the Catera. Opel wasn't a completely unknown brand to Americans at the time, since its cars were sold here with their own badging through Buick dealerships from the middle 1950s through the late 1970s (for a much shorter period, American Pontiac dealers attempted to sell Vauxhalls). Even after that, plenty of Opel DNA showed up in the products of U.S.-market GM divisions. The Catera was by far the most affordable Cadillac for 1997, with an MSRP starting at $29,995 (about $59,113 in 2024 dollars). Being a genuine German car, it looked much more convincingly European than the DeVille ($36,995), Eldorado ($37,995) and Seville ($39,995). Inspired by the ducks on the Cadillac emblem (they were really supposed to be martlets, mythical birds with no feet and occasionally lacking beaks), Cadillac's marketers went after youthful car shoppers with a whimsical animated duck named Ziggy. For the 21st century, the birds were removed from the Cadillac emblem in order to attract California buyers under 45 years of age. As we all know, the Catera flopped hard in the marketplace. What sold well in Europe turned out not to translate so well in in North America, especially when bearing the badges of such a historically prestigious brand. The Catera's engine was a 54-degree 3.0-liter V6 rated at 200 horsepower and 192 pound-feet. Just as had been the case with its predecessor, the Allante, no manual transmission was available.
