1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Custom Built Secret Service Limousine on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
|
Up for Auction is a custom built one of a kind 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood open top Limousine I have had in my collection for a few years that was originally built for the U.S. Secret Service as a follow up car by S&S Coachbuilders. Same coachbuilders that worked with Cadillac on the Clinton Armored Presidential Limousines. It is very unique with three openings in the roof for riders to stand up and view everything around them. This vehicle started its life as a rear
wheel drive Cadillac Fleetwood Sedan.
This is the last year of the rear wheel drive Fleetwood Cadillac.
FEAUTURES: It was stretched 48 inches in the middle behind the driver doors. The rear compartment is double the size of a factory sedan. It has a rear facing middle seat and two middle doors with concealed door handles in the frame and no exterior door handles. The middle exterior looks like a standard limousine with no door handles. Hidden openers are in the front driver and passenger door frame. The most unique feature of this limousine is its roof and rear compartment. The roof is steel reinforced and has three cut outs for people to stand up in and stick there head (and weapons out). One opening is narrow and above the driver compartment. The rear compartment has two huge openings (see pictures) with grab handles in between. The roof is finished in vinyl and it is like new. It also has a snap on black canvas cover if weather is inclement. That can be folded up and put in the trunk when not in use. This vehicle was built under specifications by the Secret Service and delivered in 1995 and decommissioned right after 9-11 because it is NOT armored. They went to all armored SUVS as follow up cars. After that it was used at their training center as a training vehicle. I bought it from a dealer in PA in 2012. I had it repainted, new carpet, new headliner, new vinyl top. Rest was perfect. This is a
gorgeous ride and would be awesome in someone's collection. Or to promote a business, weekend touring, site seeing, charity
promotions, vineyard tours, city tours, historic tours, a real estate business
and of course parades. OR what i use it for just cruising to car shows and
driving on sunny weekends. You can fit six people in the back compartment
comfortably. In case it rains there is a snap on black canvas weatherized top that covers the entire roof.
Everything is perfect and looks like new. Has brand new chrome emblems all around and Cadillac marker lights on the sail panel. Grab handles are on the roof in case you want to stand up and much more.
THIS IS A
HEAD TURNER. You will NEVER see another one pull up next to you and this one is
in mint condition. THIS VEHICLE
HAS just 46K miles on it!!!! THAT IS RIGHT JUST 46 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES.
Mechanically for the gear heads, this Cadillac came from the factory with the
formidable Corvette LT-1 V-8 Engine and
matched automatic transmission which Cadillac borrowed from Chevrolet to give
unbelievable power to this huge rear wheel drive car. This model is the last rear
wheel drive model Cadillac built. The engine is the same engine as the Corvette
of this year. Power is unreal and the ride is incredible. All the
chrome on the vehicle is showroom new. The exterior features lighted flag
stands on the front fenders. All badging is brand new chrome because when we got it had none on it. There are a total
of six doors that open but the middle doors have no door handles for a clean
and finished limousine look. INTERIOR DESCRIPTION The front driver’s compartment is finished in original black leather and it is in very good shape with no rips or tears. The front interior has perfect and original leather and original carpet and mats in excellent condition. The car looks new inside and out with all original gauges, AC and everything works. There is a high power air conditioning system for the rear with vents along the roof line. The rear
compartment is brand new in all aspects. The middle seat faces the rear. the rear seat has head rests and has air conditioning
vents on the headliner around the sides. The entire interior is like new
and carpet is brand black with absolutely no wear anywhere. All door panels are like new
condition. The interior and exterior shows absolutely no wear at all. The front
compartment is factory with the addition of flag stand light switch (never ever
fly the American Flag at night without lighting it) and interior special light
package switch. There are
two air conditioning systems in the vehicle with controls in the front for the
factory air and the rear air conditioning system that has vents under the
middle and rear seats for use to cool passengers during long parades. White wall
tires are excellent with 70% left on them and like new Cadillac Factory Chrome Correct

General Motors posts record earnings, but global sales fall
Thu, Apr 21 2016General Motors started the year with record success. The automaker's $2.7 billion in adjusted earnings before interest and taxes was its highest ever in in the first quarter of 2016, up from $2.1 billion in from the same time period a year earlier. Net income grew to $1.95 billion, which was more than double the $953 million in the same period last year. The company's figures also beat analysts' predictions, according to the Detroit Free Press. Despite the financial growth, global sales actually decreased by 2.5 percent to 2.36 million vehicles. "We're growing where it counts, gaining retail share in the US, outpacing the industry in Europe and capitalizing on robust growth in SUV and luxury segments in China," CEO Mary Barra said in the company's financial announcement. GM did well in North America with an adjusted EBIT of $2.3 billion, up from $2.2 billion last year. Sales in the region also grew 1.2 percent to 800,000 vehicles. According to The Detroit Free Press, the company has been especially successful at selling more expensive models in the US. The company's average vehicle was $34,600 in Q1, about $3,000 more than the industry average. Elsewhere in the world, GM also showed improvement. Europe practically broke even after losing about $200 million last year, and Opel and Vauxhall sales grew 8.4 percent to more than 300,000 vehicles for the quarter. South America only lost $100 million, which was half as much as Q1 2015's $200 million loss. China remained flat at $500 million of income. Cadillac volume jumped 6.1 percent there, and Buick's deliveries increased 22 percent, thanks to the Envision crossover's success. GM Reports First-Quarter Net Income of $2.0 Billion 2016-04-21 EPS diluted of $1.24; First-quarter record EPS diluted-adjusted of $1.26 First-quarter record EBIT-adjusted of $2.7 billion GM Europe posts break-even performance DETROIT – General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) today announced first-quarter net income to common stockholders of $2.0 billion or $1.24 per diluted share, compared to $0.9 billion or $0.56 per diluted share a year ago. Earnings per share diluted-adjusted for special items was a first-quarter record at $1.26, up 47 percent compared to the first quarter of 2015. The company set first-quarter records for earnings and margin, with earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) adjusted of $2.7 billion and EBIT-adjusted margin of 7.1 percent.
2016 Cadillac CTS-V arrives with 640 hp, 200-mph top speed
Mon, Dec 22 2014Ask the company's executive team, and they'll tell you "this is the maximum Cadillac V-Series." It's the 2016 CTS-V sedan, and it packs the very best of what's possible at Cadillac. And the company says it doesn't think "anyone thought it was possible that we could push [the CTS-V] this far." The big news is what's underhood: General Motors' supercharged, 6.2-liter LT4 V8, tuned to 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. That's 10 hp and 20 lb-ft less than the monstrous Corvette Z06, and the result is the most powerful car Cadillac has ever produced. With rear-wheel drive, launch control and the eight-speed automatic transmission (sorry, folks – no more manual transmission here), Cadillac says the 2016 CTS-V will sprint to 60 miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 200 miles per hour. Naturally, Cadillac's engineers say they have tuned the CTS-V to ensure it can put all that power to the ground with the most precision and poise possible. That starts with the excellent Magnetic Ride Control active damping system (with a claimed 40-percent increase in responsiveness)and a 25-percent increase in structural stiffness that should improve overall handling and steering. What's more, a high-performance Brembo brake package comes standard, as do 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in seriously sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires that will reportedly offer 1g in lateral acceleration. Cadillac also says that all changes to the bodywork are functional. That includes a carbon-fiber hood, front splitter, rear spoiler and diffuser that are super light and aid with aerodynamics and weight reduction – all of which will be available as an optional package for folks who like the exposed carbon look. Inside, it's more of what we're used to on lesser CTS models, but there's newly optional carbon fiber trim, microfiber suede upholstery trim, and some seriously awesome Recaro seats. Additionally, as we exclusively reported earlier, Cadillac will offer GM's Performance Data Recorder in the CTS-V. It records high-definition video with data overlays that's sharable via social media. Beyond that, Cadillac will offer the usual smattering of tech goodies, including Siri Eyes Free, OnStar with 4G LTE, CUE infotainment with navigation and Bose audio. The CTS-V will launch later next year, following the debut of the smaller ATS-V. In the meantime, the sedan will officially bow at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in just a few weeks.
Is this the 2014-15 Cadillac Escalade?
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Following the introduction of the redesigned Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, we're expecting General Motors won't wait too much longer to show off the next-generation fullsize SUVs that share this platform - including the Cadillac Escalade. It's still not clear if the next Escalade will debut for the 2014 or 2015 model years, but Carscoops has what it claims to an exclusive first look of the new Cadillac, revealing a portion of the headlight, front fascia and wheel.
Judging from this small picture, it looks like the Escalade could incorporate styling cues that we've seen on new Cadillac models like the ELR and the 2014 CTS, but that article says that other design details could include tall, vertical taillights similar to the CTS Wagon, staggered-width wheels and a narrower daylight opening for the side windows. The last time we saw the fourth-generation 'Slade back in October in spy shots, the heavy camouflage prevented us from getting an idea of the luxury SUV's appearance, but this image and description gives us something to look forward to. Head on over to Carscoops for more potential information as well as a full rendering from back in January.
