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 |

Cadillac CT6 hybrid likely to appear in Shanghai
Fri, Apr 3 2015Cadillac is poised to reveal a hybrid version of the CT6 sedan later this month at the Shanghai Motor Show. Rumors have swirled of the sedan's pending reveal, and General Motors product chief Mark Reuss reportedly confirmed its existence last fall during an investor conference. On Wednesday, Reuss again said that GM is working on the hybrid CT6, and when asked by Autoblog, he hinted at the pending debut. "We've really got to wait until we finish rounding out the portfolio," he said. "The Shanghai show is where you should look for all of it. So stay tuned." A Cadillac spokesman declined to comment, but confirmed "we will add variants." The brand has already announced two V6 engines and is looking to expand the line. Reuss also said GM has considered a V-Series model for the CT6, but it's focusing on launching the four-cylinder and V6-powered sedans first and promoting V-Series versions of the CTS and ATS that arrive this year. "The [CT6] architecture is certainly capable of doing it," he said. "The question is who's going to buy the CT6? What kind of person? And do we need a V-Series off of that is the question we haven't answered yet. It's certainly capable of doing it ... we've certainly thought about it." Details of the hybrid powertrain aren't known, but it could use plug-in technology. Chevrolet announced the 2016 Malibu will get a hybrid model that employs electric powertrain features from the new generation of the Volt. For the CT6, electric-vehicle technologies would likely be used to extend range and aid the performance of the conventional engine. Related Video:
Cadillac prices 410-hp XTS Vsport from $63,020*
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Cadillac has officially released pricing for the 2014 XTS Vsport. Buyers can expect to pay $63,020 for the fleet four-door, including destination and handling fees. That kind of coin will snag you a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 good for 410 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. As you likely already know, engineers have done a lot more than simply bolt a pair of turbos onto the company's tried and true naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6. The engine uses an all-new block, strengthened connecting rods and domed aluminum pistons and is fed through a revised direct-injection fuel system. Combined, the tweaks allow the V6 to suck down 12 psi of boost.
The price tag puts the 2014 Cadillac XTS Vsport well under potential (if ambitious) competitors like the Audi S6 at $71,900, plus destination fees. A base BMW 550i will set you back $62,700, excluding destination charges, but throwing options at the German sedan will quickly see that number climb higher. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
Cadillac tipped to call flagship something other than LTS
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without large sedans in its lineup, and while the XTS has had to hold down that end of the fort all on its own, it won't have to for too long. That's because the luxury brand in the General Motors portfolio is preparing to roll out its new LTS, stylistically previewed by the Elmiraj concept pictured above. Only now, the latest thinking is that the upcoming flagship model may not be called LTS at all.
As Automotive News points out, Cadillac's naming scheme is all over the place at the moment. The ATS slotting below the CTS makes sense (alphabetically), but where do the ELR, SRX and especially the Escalade fit into that naming hierarchy? And how would LTS - as the project has been known until now - sit above the XTS?
Fortunately, Cadillac may be on the case, as two of the division's most recent senior appointments seem keen to rationalize the naming scheme. One is Uwe Ellinghaus, who joined Cadillac as chief marketing officer late last year. Speaking of the brand's nomenclature last spring, Ellinghaus was quoted as saying, "We are aware that this is currently a weakness of the Cadillac brand." And his new boss is bound to agree.
