I am a collector of 1993-96 Cadillac Fleetwood Broughams. They are my hobby and my passion. It is my opinion that these are the best luxury Cadillacs made. Offered for sale below is one of my best - 1996 Brougham, Dark Calypso Green with a rare hardtop and velour cloth interior.
SYNOPSIS: Virtually showroom new, 50,366 pristine,garaged, pampered, AutoCheck clean miles, mechanically perfect, rare hardtop,upgraded velour cloth seats, non-smoker, excellent Michelin white-wall tires,drives like a dream, and 26 mpg.
DETAILS: History This is a Northeastern West Virginia luxury “Land Yacht” that’s been pampered by its two previous owners. It is essentially a one-owner Brougham. The second and last owner of this Cadillac had it for about three years and drove only 1,000 miles. Before I purchased this car, I contacted him telephonically and talked to the him extensively about its condition. He assured me that it is rust free and in mint condition. When I saw the car at the airport, his words came true. The car has been totally undercoated and both the body and the frame underneath have no rust. (See pictures below.) The seller is a 73-yearold retired gentleman who collects antique cars. He bought this Brougham from an estate sale. He loved this car but had to sell it to leave more garage space for his other antiques. He showed me a few of this antiques – mint 56 Chevy Bellaire, 64 Vette, 58 Plymouth and etc. He is as meticulously about keeping his car in showroom condition as I am. I am happy to be buying it from a collector because I know he babied his car. As standard practice, I did an Auto Check. It showed no accidents. Cosmetic Condition This is a unique color Brougham, “Dark Calypso Green.” It is a mixture of emerald green with brilliant Australian opal shine and under the sunlight, you can also see a hint of blue saphire. It is near showroom condition. You'll be hard pressed to find a ding or a scratch. Standing at seven feet away, you’d think it is a new car. It has a rare hardtop. Ninety percent of the Broughams comes with a vinyl top which could deteriorate overtime when not properly cared for. It also has the optional, upgraded gray velour cloth seats. My experience with the velour seats is that they are very durable. This Brougham shows no wear on the seats. The entire interior is showroom new without a tear, cut, crack or stain on the seats, carpet, door panels,dash, or the headliner. Even the factory floor mats are like new. When I took possession of the car, all of the mats and trunk were covered with other pieces of carpet. As far as I can tell, the paint is original and it shines brilliantly. All the extensive bottom chrome pieces which set this vehicle apart are perfect without a ding or a scratch. Even the gray plastic impact trims are all like new and align perfectly with each other. There is slight bubbling of the thin spear chrome trims along the front fenders and the rear quarter panels. This is a factory defect. There are no rock chips on the hood and the windshield is perfect. All four Michelin white-wall tires have about 75% tread remaining. It has a full-size original Michelin spare in the trunk that’s never been used. There is not much more I can say about the cosmetic condition of this car - it is virtually showroom new. MechanicalCondition The1500 mile drive was long, but it gave me an opportunity to thoroughly test drive this car. She handled beautifully with no issues. Everything worked except the heated seats – the cruise, all windows,A/C, heat, all seat adjustments, trunk pull down motor, radio (no CD) and etc. The famous 5.7 V8 LT1 engine was smooth,responsive, and powerful. The car averaged an amazing 26 mpg on regular gas and I was going over 70 mph most of the time. It did not pull, shake or rattle. Knowing these cars like I do, at 50,366 miles, it is not even broken in. 96s are more sought after because it was the last year these legends were made. As standard practice, I changed the oil after I arrived home. My mechanic put it on a lift and checked for any leaks and other issues. He saw none in this car. The air filter was new so I did not replace it. The brakes worked beautifully; I heard no squeaks. Conclusion: This is a rare find - gorgeous, gorgeous, elegant 96 Fleetwood Brougham with a hardtop and velour cloth interior. The previous owners maintained this Cadillac in exceptional cosmetic and mechanical condition. There is nothing to do except to enjoy the best riding, most luxurious, almost indestructible 350 V8 LT1, fuel efficient and reliable American sedan ever made. “No matter where you go, you have arrived.” When new, this vehicle listed at $45,000.00. You are buying a virtually new 96 Brougham at less than 20% of its original cost. It is a collectible classic. Enjoy!!
This vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty implied or written. Price- $8,888.00 Please call Jim 281.608.1336 |

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
