Nr Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Limousine 5.7l Stretch Limo - Hess & Eisenhardt on 2040-cars

Year:1990 Mileage:280935
Location:

San Francisco, California, United States

San Francisco, California, United States

runs good, always maintained. 3rd owner (my car for nearly 10 years). recently registered.

-rust bubbles present (see photos!!) behind rear window. rust on rear bumper, hood doesn't stay up on its own
-vinyl top removed (needs to be reupholstered or painted) - adhesive etc. still on fiberglass (see photos)  
-accessories installed but currently non functional (mobile phone, sunroof, tv/vcr) could just be fuses or a simple wiring issue, I never wanted to hook them up so I'm not sure. accessories run off separate battery which works fine (modifications made by Hess & Eisenhardt, premier coachbuilders, car built for Cadillac) 
-driver's window only rolls down an inch, all other windows work but slow. 
-divider window (partition) between driver and rear cabin works! one glass window and one upholstered metal, each operates with its own switch controlled by either the driver or rear cabin. great privacy option & a rare feature on these older models (see photos!)
-windshield cracked, requires replacement
-would require a catalytic converter to pass smog in CA.
-runs good, shifts good, brakes good
-tread okay, missing a center cap on one hubcap, missing hood ornament
-dash lights intermittent, as are odometer and digital speedometer which sometimes needs to reach speeds of 30 mph before it works (often reads 0 MPH until warmed up)
-headliner needs replacement, blue velour some stains and burns but mostly in good shape. carpet weathered & stained, needs replacement. wood trim in good shape. 

Lots of work done over the years to ensure that it was reliable. Still lots of work needed to make it perfect again, thankfully nothing too major. The previous owner stated the car was Clint Eastwood's limousine when first elected mayor of Carmel though I never tried to have that fact verified. Lots of space, a powerful engine, a comfortable ride in front or back. Again its seen much better days, it is a running project. I'm really sad to see it go!!

Make this classic Cadillac yours, today!

2016 Cadillac ATS-V brandishes 450 horses and 6-speed manual

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

Details about the hotly anticipated 2016 Cadillac ATS-V are tumbling out, and they look to be everything we could ask for in a high-performance Caddy coupe.
According to Road & Track, the ATS-V will use a version of the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 from the CTS Vsport, but the wick will be turned up to 450 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. In glorious news for driving enthusiasts everywhere, that potent mill will be available with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic.
According to R&T, the engine has a heap of high-performance tech to let it make the extra ponies, including titanium connecting rods, two water-to-air intercoolers, titanium turbines for the turbos and an additional radiator dedicated to cooling the gearbox and electronically locking differential. Keeping it all planted are a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, and a suspension with 50 percent more roll stiffness.

2014 Cadillac ELR wears a suave suit with Volt underpants

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

The Cadillac design and engineering teams were smiling like a bunch of proud papas here in Detroit this morning, as the Wreath and Crest crew pulled the curtain back on their 2014 ELR. The house was packed for the ELR's coming out party, and reaction was enthusiastic amongst the murmuring media, as far as we could gather, while the flashes were firing.
In fact, we think that the sleek styling and aggressive proportions of the Voltec-powered ELR looked even better in the metal than they did in the first official images we saw earlier. Further, the leather-lined interior seems custom made for serious driving, even if the ELR is slightly less than rocket-ship quick.
The new Cadillac makes good use of the basic running gear from the Chevrolet Volt, including the 1.4-liter range-extending gas engine, a 15.6-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and an electric drive motor that offers 295 pound-feet of torque, and a total system output of 207 horsepower. All-electric range is down by just one mile versus its Chevrolet forebearer, for a total of 35, and Cadillac speculates that the total range with the gasoline generator figured in will top 300 miles.

General Motors could turn Hamtramck into its electric pickup, SUV hub

Fri, Nov 15 2019

Electric off-roaders could revitalize the Detroit-Hamtramck factory that General Motors previously announced it will close. While official details remain shrouded in secrecy, analysts believe the plant will be re-tooled to manufacture at least three electric models due out during the early 2020s. The plant's scheduled closure was one of the grievances the United Auto Workers (UAW) union cited when it embarked on a 40-day strike in September 2019. General Motors agreed to keep it open without shedding much light on what it planned to build there. Analyst at LMC Automotive told the The Detroit News they believe an often-rumored electric SUV that will resurrect Hummer's name, image, or both will be one of the models assigned to the Hamtramck plant. Battery-powered variants of the GMC Sierra and the Cadillac Escalade will be made there, too, as will an enigmatic van. LMC Automotive's Jeff Schuster believes the van will come first; it could enter production as early as 2021. The Hummer — which might also be offered as a pickup — will follow before the end of 2022, while the Sierra and the Escalade will both arrive in 2023. We're taking this report with a grain of salt, though, because only one of the aforementioned models has been announced by General Motors. Rumors of a Hummer resurrection emerged in the summer of 2019, just a few weeks before we heard unverified reports of a battery-powered variant of the next-generation Escalade. General Motors confirmed plans to enter the burgeoning electric pickup truck segment, which Ford, Rivian, and Tesla also have their sights on, but it hasn't detailed how or when. The van is a mystery. General Motors refused to comment on the report. It previously announced it will keep Hamtramck open, and invest $3 billion to build electric vehicles there. The investment will create 2,225 jobs. Inaugurated in February 1985, the Hamtramck factory has churned out a diverse selection of models over the past 34 years, including Cadillac's Eldorado, Seville, and Allante, the Oldsmobile Toronado, the Buick Riviera, and more recently, gasoline-electric Chevrolet Volt. General Motors announced plans to close Hamtramck in 2018, but it quickly backpedaled and extended its lease on life until 2020 by keeping the Chevrolet Impala and the Cadillac CT6 around for a few additional months.
