***1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, 2-owners, 39k Original Miles, What A Ride!! on 2040-cars
Wakefield, Massachusetts, United States
1966 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM TWO OWNERS 39,654 ACTUAL MILES The car has a neat history. The original owner was a man named William F. Powell from Philadelphia who got the title on 8-22-66. One of the cool things is a book suggesting service visits in which he noted the mileage on visits for the first couple of years. (I think it's in the glovebox). He put on VERY few miles. He sold it on 12-24-88 to a car dealer (probably a trade in) Auto World in Gathersburg Maryland. It had 26, 277 miles on it, meaning he had driven just over 1,100 miles per year. Auto World transferred it to a dealer in Springfield, MD - Motor City Auto Sales on 4-30-89. It had 26,690 miles on it. The current owner bought it on 6-20-92 with 26,815 miles on it, making him the 2nd registered owner. Over the past 20 years, he brought it up to about 39,600 miles or about 600 miles per year. I have all of this documented. It was an original paint car up until it was hit in the rear of the car 14 years ago by a neighbor. The car was painted completely, and the roof was all re-done. It does have some minor rust starting from water trickling down the vinyl roof behind the rear windows. This will need to be dealt with eventually, but most people don't even notice it, but I wanted to disclose it. It's also missing the lettering on the right side - F L E E T W O O D. At some point water had leaked into the trunk damaging the trunk liner, but you can find reproduction trunk liners now. The red/organe cloring you see in the trunk is NOT RUST it's the red oxide primer coating under the paint, the trunk is rock solid. The interior is nearly perfect, including the original floor mats. The wood has some staining. The front vent window gears were replaced, they weren't available for the rear vents. (It has 8 electric windows!) I just had a new muffler put on it recently. It has rear air shocks, I'd replace the back springs. The car runs great, it's tight, and fun to drive. It has almost all options, except cruise, rear window defogger and heated seats. I have a cruise control someone could add. I also have the rear window defogger blower, etc that someone could add. I also will include two extra wheel covers, a headlight bezel, and a couple of other small parts. I think the cruise control and defogger cost me about $500 combined when I bought them. So, that's the history. It was the top of the line Cadillac with the exception of the Limousines, and is similar in some ways to the Eldorado convertible for 1966.

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution
Sun, 30 Dec 2012The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
2014 Cadillac CTS
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Fixated By Europeans, GM Ensures The Third Time Is A Charm
Few things are better for consumers than competition raising the bar. And no campaign seems fiercer than the one currently underway in the midsize sport-sedan segment now that Cadillac has introduced its all-new 2014 CTS to go head-to-head against the benchmark Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
While the CTS has been on the market for slightly more than a decade, up until this third-generation, Cadillac hasn't truly had the proper high-performance rear-wheel-drive architecture to build a genuine world-class fighter, both inside and out. And now that the American automaker has successfully mirrored Audi, BMW and Mercedes in overall vehicle size, engine output and cabin appointments, the first shots have been fired.
