Nr Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Limousine 5.7l Stretch Limo - Hess & Eisenhardt on 2040-cars
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! YOU ARE NOT BIDDING ON A PERFECT CAR, SOLD AS IS. SALE FINAL PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION, PLEASE VIEW PHOTOS & DON'T HESITATE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS. THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST, GOOD LUCK BIDDING! |

C7 Corvette won't spawn new Cadillac XLR [w/video]
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Between the new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray and the even newer Cadillac Elmiraj Concept shown off at Pebble Beach, we were already expecting some sort of chatter of a Cadillac XLR redux. During an in-depth C7 Corvette discussion with Tadge Juechter, the car's chief engineer, Fox News asked if a Corvette-based, Bowling Green-built Cadillac will be built off the C7. Non-spoiler alert: the answer is no.
Juechter says that General Motors has "no intent" on transforming this car into a Cadillac product since the C7 has been optimized for the Corvette buyer, a consumer that's generally a different sort of person than a Cadillac intender who might also be cross-shopping a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class or BMW 6 Series.
While we're not ready to write off a future XLR altogether, we assume that the Corvette Cadillac experiment is most likely never going to happen again. The interview with Juechter is posted below, but the XLR discussion comes in at the 9:00 mark.
How Cadillac improved power output in 2016 ELR by 25 percent
Tue, Jun 2 2015Earlier this year, Cadillac announced that the 2016 ELR would come with a big price drop and a powertrain that packs 25 percent more power output. That's a lot more oomph, but it didn't sound like the Caddy engineers made any major changes to the engine or motors. So, what happened? Let's refresh our memories with the numeric details. The 2016 car is 1.5 seconds quicker to 60 miles per hour than the 2014 model (there was no 2015), down to 6.4 seconds. The 2014 put out 295 pound-feet of torque. For 2016, it will be 373 lb-ft. The specific breakdown of the various components in the powertrain has not been disclosed, but from what we can tell, the two electric motors and the 1.4-liter inline-four engine in the new ELR are not that much different than those in the old one. Sam Abuelsamid, senior research analyst at Navigant Research (and former writer here at Autoblog) said that any of the unspecified upgrades would be difficult to tell on a part-by-part basis, but the overall effect will be noticeable. "The changes to the ELR as I understand them are analogous to getting more performance out of a 1965 Mustang with the entry version of the 289 cubic-inch V8. You can replace the carburetor with a larger version that enables more air and fuel to flow into the engine, thus producing more power. The basic engine hasn't changed, but power capability is being unleashed by feeding it more." "Cadillac has changed components in the power electronics to enable more current flow into the motor and thus produce more torque. When you do this in the Mustang, you probably need to replace the rear axle gears and use a beefier clutch to transmit the power to the wheels. Similarly, the ELR probably has some upgraded clutches, bearings, and gears to withstand the increased total output." Cadillac spokesperson David Caldwell told AutoblogGreen in an email that the new ELR does indeed have more than just new lines of code. "One could not 'reflash' a previous ELR to get the performance of a 2016," Caldwell said. "If one only changed software you would not get the performance upgrade fully, as the 2016 creates higher current, more power. So these have been upgraded physically – hardware.
BMW reclaims US luxury sales crown from Mercedes
Tue, Jan 6 2015The numbers, they are in: BMW has reclaimed the luxury-sales crown from Mercedes by a margin of 9,347 cars. Mercedes donned the king's headgear in 2013 after a strong final quarter of 2013 when the new CLA and S-Class poured out of dealerships. This year, led by the 3 Series/4 Series and X5, BMW sold 339,738 units – a 9.8-percent increase year-on-year. Mercedes, led by the C-Class and M-Class, saw its sales go up by 5.7 percent to 330,391 units. We'll have to wait a bit to see if there's another registrations-vs-sales challenge as in 2012, when BMW was anointed US luxury ruler. Behind them, a dark horse named Lexus nudged closer to the leading Teutons, selling 311,389 cars. The Japanese luxury automaker also had the biggest gain among the top three, its sales rising by 13.7 percent compared to 2013. Audi had the biggest sales of anyone among the top five, though, with a 15.2-percent gain to 182,011, which moved it a spot ahead of Cadillac; the Wreath-and-Crest brand dropped 6.5 percent to 170,750. Acura (167,843), Infiniti (117,300), and Lincoln (94,474) took the final positions. Speaking of Lincoln, sales at the once-mighty luxury marque stand as the mightiest jump of any on this list, up 15.6 percent. That's the power of Matthew McConaughey... and better cars and a new crossover, sure. So now that we're back to Round One of 2015, in case no one else has said it yet: "Ok, fight!"
