Huntsville, Alabama, United States
*** You need to check with your state's DMV and make sure you can
obtain a title for this vehicle PRIOR to making an offer. Alabama law

not have a title and will only come with a bill of sale. ***
*** THERE IS A SLIDESHOW WITH MORE DETAILED PICS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS AUCTION *** 1969 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Special 60. 4dr Sedan. Sable black with blue cloth interior. Black vinyl top. 472 V8 Automatic. A/C. Power steering, power brakes, power windows, power door locks, power seats, cruise control, even power trunk release. This car is a mixed bag. Mechanically, this car runs just fine. Starts up on the first key turn. Gas tank was cleaned out, Holley carb was rebuilt, new brake booster and new rear brake shoes. So it runs and stops just fine. It even still handles nice and smooth just like a vintage Cadillac should. Most of the issues are cosmetic and will need a body man to fix. The A/C will need some work to get running. The passenger side window does not work. And there may be various other little things that need addressing. Not really sure. The major issue is the roof. The vinyl top needs to be removed and the roof needs to be sanded down. Some of the roof will have to be welded or patched. Mainly in the top of the rear on the passenger side. There are also some rust holes above the windshield and in the rear under the vinyl top trim which leak into the trunk that will also have to be spot welded up. Once this is done, a new top can be put on and you are good to go. The body is pretty straight except for a slight ding on the drivers side fin and some scrapes in the bottom of the doors. I believe the scrapes are from where the previous owner might have drove it up on his car hauler which was too narrow for the car. I think all of these can be repaired without replacing the doors. The drivers door is the worst and I think you can remove the door panel with the window up and hammer it out and it will be fine. The trunk weatherstrip channels on this car do not have any rust. The weatherstripping will have to be replaced though. I am including new trunk weatherstripping with the car. The interior obviously will need new seat covers, carpet, and a headliner once the roof is repaired. The door panels are pretty rough as well. You can find these parts with a simple search online and on Ebay. The steering wheel will either need a new pad or need to be replaced. You can do a search on Ebay for "Grant Cadillac Wood Wheel". They make a pretty cool wooden one for it with a Cadillac center cap. I inspected the floors while this car was up on the rack and there were no holes. The trunk pan is also solid. The drop-offs were even holding water from the holes mentioned above until I dried them out so there are no holes in the rear quarters either. Both of the bumpers are almost mint. All the glass is good except for the front windshield. It has bubbled around the edges and has some wiper scrapes. I have included pics of some late 60s Cadillacs to give some build ideas for this car. It would be a pretty sweet car with some new paint or maybe done in satin, lowered, with some 20s or Coker white-walls. It just depends what you want to do and how far you want to go with it. *** The car will come with a bill of sale ONLY. Alabama does not title cars 35+ years old.*** DECODING: VIN: P9179525 = Fleetwood Brougham Sedan 1969 Prod # starting at 100001 BODY TAG: ST 69 68169 = 69 4dr Brougham TR 026S = Blue cloth interior BDY FWD 7913 = Fleetwood Plant Body #7913 PNT 10 K = Sable Black, Black Vinyl Roof 01C = 3rd Week Jan |

Cadillac's Butler announces surprise departure
Mon, 05 Aug 2013The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Cadillac's vice president of global strategic development, Don Butler, has resigned. Butler has held the position since April, after a term as vice president of US marketing for General Motor's luxury brand.
As the report explains, the timing here is pretty unfortunate for Cadillac. Butler is the third high-profile member of Cadillac's brass to depart in recent months, following the firing of US sales boss Chase Hawkins and the pending departure of Susan Docherty. Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell told the Detroit paper, "Bob [Ferguson]," global boss for Cadillac, "and other leaders asked him to stay on. Don's here in the office today - and told our team that his decision is purely on a personal level. After three years of putting everything into Cadillac, he is stepping away for some personal time, and to consider new avenues in his life."
Butler says his decision is part of a decision to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities." Whatever the reason, it's an unpleasant surprise for Cadillac, which has been on a surge in 2013, with 30-percent jump in sales on the heels of the hot-selling ATS.
2013 Cadillac XTS [w/video]
Wed, 30 Jan 2013The Cadillac Of Stopgaps
As confusing as most alphanumeric car names have gotten in recent years, at least one constant has been that the letter "X" is generally indicative of a crossover. Then why did General Motors use this letter on its new 2013 Cadillac XTS luxury sedan? Well, for that, we'll have to look to the world of mathematics where "X" stands for an unknown variable or a placeholder. Now we're talking. The XTS is just an interim product sitting at the top of Cadillac's four-door food chain until the brand gets a true flagship in place. That sounds like a lot of resources to spend on what will likely be a one-and-done model, but the automaker needed to get something - anything - to replace the DTS.
So here you have the 2013 XTS. A big luxury sedan that was created to bridge the gap between Cadillac's recent past and its pending future. Going into our week with this XTS knowing that it was a stopgap measure proved to be both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, we know (or hope) that this car will act as a baseline for future high-end Cadillac models, but at the same time, we couldn't help but be mindful of past stopgap models, albeit in more entry-level segments, like the Cimarron and Catera.
Cadillac highlights craftsmanship in latest Escalade teaser videos
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Cadillac, in case you haven't heard, is unveiling the new Escalade on October 7, completing the redesign of General Motors' large SUV range. The event is proceeding with the regular degree of "teasers" and "leaked images" that is typical of the automotive world, nowadays.
As the new Escalade's reveal date grows closer, Cadillac is trumping up interest for the new SUV, debuting five short teaser videos on its YouTube channel. While not showing much about the Escalade itself, the spots reveal plenty about its materials. Real wood and hand-stitched leather are highlighted, while we get another glimpse of the Escalade's vertically oriented headlights. Take a look below for all five spots.
