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. |

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected
Tue, 20 May 2014General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years
GM Super Cruise beats Tesla Autopilot again in latest hands-free test
Wed, Oct 28 2020DETROIT — General Motors' Super Cruise once again edged Tesla's Autopilot in an evaluation of 17 vehicles equipped with active driving assistance systems (ADAS) by Consumer Reports, the testing organization said on Wednesday. A Tesla Model Y fitted with Autopilot finished "a distant second," the group said, to a Cadillac CT6 equipped with Super Cruise, which GM is rolling out to more than 20 vehicles — including its new Hummer electric pickup truck — over the next three years. Safety and insurance researchers have frequently warned of the risks of consumers overestimating ADAS systems' abilities, a misconception increased by some automakers calling their products Autopilot, ProPilot or Co-Pilot. In 2018, the Cadillac CT6 with Super Cruise scored higher than a Tesla Model 3 with Autopilot, in a Consumer Reports test of just four vehicles equipped with ADAS. In the latest test, conducted this summer on a track and on public roads, the Cadillac scored 69 points out of a possible 100, while the Tesla scored 57. A Lincoln Corsair equipped with Ford's Co-Pilot 360 system, finished third with 52. The critical difference in the Super Cruise system is a driver-facing infrared camera to make sure he or she is paying attention to the road and is ready to take over manual control when necessary, said Kelly Funkhouser, head of connected and automated vehicle testing at Consumer Reports. The group noted that Autopilot can shut off abruptly in some situations, while Super Cruise did a better job of notifying the driver when the system is disengaging. In recent European safety testing, a Tesla Model 3 with Autopilot placed sixth out of 10 systems, getting high marks for performance and ability to respond to emergencies, but falling short on its ability to maintain a driverÂ’s focus on the road.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
