Up for Auction is a custom built 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Phaeton CONVERTIBLE LIMOUSINE built by Parade Coachbuilders in Florida. www.paradelimos.com.   This vehicle started its lie as a rear wheel drive Cadillac Fleetwood Sedan then it was stretched 48 inches in the middle behind the drivers door.   A middle seat was added and two doors were added with concealed door handles in the frame and no exterior door handles.   So middle exterior looks like s standard limousine with no door handles, hidden openers are in the front driver nad passenger door frame The rear 1/3 of the roof was cut off above the rear seat for wide open air riding.   This vehicle is called the Pheaton model.

The Phaeton is a term that comes from early 20th century coach building and it means open top.  In this case the roof above the rear seat has been removed.  The rear seat has been raised ten inches and a parade seat has been added on the rear deck.   In case it rains there is a snap on manual top that covers the rear seat so no rain will spoil your fun.

This vehicle is custom built and one of a kind with many one of a kind features including; front fender flag stands, front fender flag up lights, flashing lights on the front bumper.   Custom rear fender Cadillac marker lights, Fleetwood Phaeton badging, chrome roof grab handle (in case you want to stand up), rear parade deck chrome surround rails and much more.

This is an awesome ride reminiscent of early 20th century open rear compartment Parade Cars the President rode in and seen in every parade. This is the perfect vehicle for promoting 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. 

 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 47K miles on it!!!! THAT IS RIGHT JUST 47 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES. Mechanically for the gear heads, this Cadillac came from the factory with the formidable LT-1 Engine and matched automatic transmission which Cadillac borrowed from Chevrolet to give unbelievable power to this 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 for a large heavy car.

Exterior is finished in Cadillac Cotillion White paint and the paint is flawless and brand new. The vehicle has no dents or dings or scratches. The chrome trim and bumpers are also in excellent condition.

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 and it is fitted with "FLEETWOOD PHAETON" emblems on the rear doors.  There are a total of six doors that open but the middle doors have no door handles for a clean and finished limousine look.

The front driver’s compartment is finished in original medium blue leather and it is in very good shape with no rips or tears.

The rear salon is brand new in all aspects. The middle seat faces the rear. On each side of the middle seat are two cup holders and champagne buckets built in to the door panels. The rear seat is raised ten inches and has air conditioning vents under it that blows ice cold. The rear salon is fitted with medium blue vinyl which is brand new on the parade seat. The entire interior is like new and carpet is brand new dark blue with absolutely no wear anywhere. Dark blue Carpet and mats inside the rear are brand new. Parade seat in the rear is perfect matching medium blue and brand new. 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 have a good 75% left on them and like new Cadillac Factory Correct Rims. The trunk is like factory with brand new full size spare, jack.

-Perfect Chrome Grab / Safety Bars on roof, if passengers stand) and surrounding parade seat.

-Perfect Chrome trim and perfect white paint.

The limousine is in mint condition with 47K miles on it. Reserve is low considering the original purchase and build cost of this vehicle.

We have used this car in parades all over Florida and have new buses coming in so one of these must go.

This vehicle is open in the rear 1/3 with a snap on roof that stores on the back deck or in the trunk.

 The manual top is vinyl just like the roof and clear plastic back window to cover the back totally if it gets caught in the rain. It stores either on the back parade deck or in the trunk and I would compare it to a boat bimini that takes 3 minutes to snap on.   That alone costs $1550.00 and it is yours with the car.

We never needed it and never take it out on cloudy days

2014 Cadillac CTS debuts new design, twin-turbo power, Vsport model [w/video]

Tue, 26 Mar 2013


If ever there were a Cadillac to truly rival the world's best, this could be it.
With every new model, Cadillac indeed gets closer and closer to actually performing at the top of its class, rivaling those crafty Germans at their own sport/luxury sedan game. The best example yet of Cadillac's efforts to challenge the world came last year, when we met the 2013 ATS - a vehicle that we praised for its on-road dynamics and interior refinement, and later went on to be named North American Car of the Year.

It's going to cost $12 billion to fix Cadillac

Wed, Apr 1 2015

The Cadillac CT6's development predates Johan de Nysschen taking over at Cadillac, but the forthcoming flagship is the luxury brand's first major new product launch since the beginning of his tenure. The vehicle's debut also marks the beginning of a comprehensive $12 billion renewal plan bringing eight new vehicles in the next five years. Now, the former Audi and Infiniti exec is talking about joining Caddy and the company's future. "Cadillac will be a powerhouse global luxury brand that will command the respect of its peers," de Nysschen said about the forecast state of the company in 2020 to Bloomberg. He disclosed that three of those new vehicles under the five-year plan would be crossovers and reiterated that plug-in hybrids are on the way that would take advantage of the Chevrolet Volt's tech advances. De Nysschen also reminisced about joining Cadillac last year. He told Bloomberg that leaving Infiniti wasn't an easy decision, and there were apparently long conversations on the phone with General Motors President Dan Ammann discussing strategy for the luxury brand. De Nysschen was apparently clear that a greater investment and more autonomy from the corporate mother ship were vital. These days, the revitalization of Cadillac is just getting rolling. The company has a swanky New York office with a dedicated team to focus on the future. According to de Nysschen, the brand will grow its staff to around 150 people by the end of the year, compared to over 40 now. The marketing plan is to position the American luxury brand as a more distinctive product versus more common German rivals. It's going to be very interesting to see if this new Caddy can dare greatly enough to accomplish these lofty goals.

Cool car technology is cool until it breaks

Fri, Mar 27 2015

Ah, technology – the beautiful date that impresses all your friends but costs you a fortune to keep happy, up-to-date, and working. Automotive News puts some numbers to the economic toll we're paying to jockey this technological Trojan horse, an analysis it sums up with "Technology is great - until you have to replace it." Back in 2000, for instance, you could replace a Cadillac Escalade taillight lens for $56.08, or replace the entire unit for $220.49. Crack the rear lens on your 2015 Escalade and you have to buy a new unit for $795 - there's no such thing as just replacing a lens anymore. What about headlights? It was $210 for an Escalade headlight in 2000, it's $1,650 for the current unit (pictured). This is nothing we didn't know, these are just hard numbers to demonstrate it. Edmunds recently provided the same with its sledgehammer-bashing of the 2015 Ford F-150, Tesla Model S buyers have been shrieking about repair costs to their electric sedan's all-aluminum bodywork, and used-car sites are full of articles about which expensive-to-repair features to steer clear of if you want to avoid big repair bills. Those expensive bits increase the price of a car - Kelley Blue Book says the average price of a car is now more than $33,000 - and that raises rates for repairs and insurance. This comes in spite of some carmakers that have been collaborating with insurance companies and repair shops at the design stage in order to engineer parts that are easier and less expensive to replace. But the tech can have its cost-saving benefits: a 2011 study by the Highway Loss Data Institute found that Volvos fitted with that company's City Safety feature "filed 27 percent fewer property-damage liability claims" than luxury SUVs without it, and just last month the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety called adaptive headlights one of the top four crash-preventing technologies on cars today (after coming out against them in 2006). So yes, the technology costs a mint when it needs to be fixed - but being able to avoid an accident in the first place might make it worth it.
