1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Sedan 4-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States
The Last Great Cadillac... I bought this gorgeous '96 Fleetwood in 2005 and would keep it forever if my wife would let me. But the family comes first, so it's time to get rid of "the other woman". This sweet lady has been my light daily driver to the office and back. Engine is solid, A/C blows ice cold, tires have meat... I would hop in this car and drive across country tomorrow without thinking twice. She's led a privileged life, built in Texas and shipped to Florida... never seen a salt road in her life. Two owners before me both kept her tucked in the garage and her read fairy tales before bed every night. I didn't have a garage when I bought her, but I've kept the car clean and protected best I could. Only blemishes are a crack in the dashboard (hidden under cloth cover and some fixable exterior trim issues) Here's a list of everything that's with her... - Runs excellent (glides down the highway and that 5.7 liter V8 jumps to life when you stab the gas pedal) - Superior comfort (like driving to work in a leather recliner) - Huge interior (Roomy enough for 5 long-legged adults to sit comfortably in style) - Clean paint and leather (no chips and zero rust, the paint still shines like new. Vinyl roof cover sparkles white with a squirt of X-14, chrome sparkles) - Ice cold air (I replaced the compressor a couple of months ago and even the Florida summer is no match for the Arctic blast blasting through her vents) - Good tires (they both have plenty of tread, but the thickness of the whitewalls are mismatched because I couldn't find Broadway whitewalls to replace the fronts) - Tinted glass (about 60%) - Superior sound system with CD and cassette, (so you can rock those mix tapes you knew you were hanging onto for some reason) - Turn signal indicators on hood (that's just cool! and they still light up with every "tick, tick, tick.") - Mechanically maintained with love (this is my daily driver for 8 years so she's had no mechanical downtime. If it breaks I bring it to my Cadi-loving mechanic and get it repaired right. They'll have a list of repairs done over the years.) Over the years I've let some little stuff slip. Here's the list of what's "wrong" with her... - Back windows slipped off the track so I don't use them. Which is fine (both fronts operate fine) but recently the back window on the driver's side slips down when you drive. - Trim around vinyl popped off in the car wash, but I have the pieces in the trunk (just need the clips) - Wreath around trunk emblem came off (I have that, too - just needs glue) - Chrome trim is loose on one side (it won't fall off, but I wouldn't take it through a car wash before getting new clips) - Antennae motor died (another reason to wash her by hand - the way she deserves) - Fuse panel cover won't stay on (no idea why. Try velcro maybe?) I think that's about it. Give her a good home and she'll treat you right. |

Cadillac Rear Camera Mirror | 2017 Autoblog Technology of the Year Finalist
Wed, Jan 25 2017We give Cadillac a lot of credit for being the first to make good on the promise to replace mirrors with cameras and displays. That was good enough to earn the Cadillac Rear Camera Mirror a place on our 2017 Technology of the Year awards shortlist for new features. The idea behind this system is relatively simple; what perhaps took more doing was getting the regulations in place to allow a video feed to replace the government-mandated mirror. The hardware and that rules compliance starts with what looks like a normal rearview mirror – because it defaults to being a mirror until you switch on the display or in the event the system somehow fails. Flip the little toggle at the bottom of the mirror – the one normally used to switch from day to night mode – and the reflection is replaced by a very crisp feed from a camera at the back of the vehicle. This live stream gives you a wide-angle view of what's behind, without obstruction from back-seat passengers, headrests, or any bodywork. The camera is even shielded from weather and has a coating to shed water. What you see doesn't exactly look like a normal reflection, but the quality is good enough and you see more than you would normally with something aimed through today's small rear windows. But because it isn't actually a reflection, you have to make some adjustments. When your eyes are focused down the road, glancing at a mirror gives you a view the same distance away but in the rear. With the rear camera mirror, a glance back requires your eyes to first refocus on the display, which takes a moment. And unlike a normal mirror, which you look through at an angle, this display is angled toward the driver but projecting an image that looks straight back – no matter how you move it, the image doesn't change like a mirror's would. And because it's an image and not a reflection, you can't choose what's in focus and lose your sense of depth perception. It's not clear whether objects in mirror are closer or farther than they appear. And there are other limitations. For instance, while the display balances bright lights and dark surroundings well at night, it is tricked by LED headlights, which flicker at a rate faster than the camera shoots. The result is a distracting strobe effect like you get when you point a smartphone camera at any LED light source. For those with migraine sensitivity, this kind of fast flashing can cause real problems.
