You are viewing the king of luxury "barge cars" of the early 1970's. A 1973 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM.
Nothing was longer or heavier - not Lincoln or Imperial of that era.
The only car in standard production which was larger, was the Cadillac
series 75 (which was the commerical chassis for ambulances, herses, and
limousines.) If you owned a Fleetwood Brougham sedan, it was a status
symbol in American culture before the downsizing and fuel crisis that
soon followed.
The interior of the car is a must see. No cracks,
sun-fading, rips, tears, dents, or stains. Car has been garage kept
most all of its life. The interior is olive green leather with
embroidery (...goovy). Carpeting is all original, thick, with no
stains. The rear seat passengers have carpeted leg rests - a feature
only found on the Fleetwoods. All electrics operate on the car - power
windows, locks, and the driver's six-way power seat. The front seat is
a split 60/40 design. All interior lights work including the reading
lights on the "C Panel". What does not work is the power antenna (maybe a wire).
Original rubber (color correct) floor mats
with the Cadillac crest come with the car. The gold vinyl roof is all
original and is superior! The exterior paint is the original factory
Phoenix Gold Firemist with maintained areas (an extra charge option back then). So The flanks of
the car are good as are the horizontal surfaces. The very hard-to-find
plastic fender fillers (1973 was the first model year for these due to
the Federal Government mandate of 5 mph bumpers, which this car has)
are all there.
Air conditioning is R12. Blower is strong, and the air conditioning
does blow super cold air. The caddy built 472 engine is strong
coupled to a massive Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission which
does have a very slow leak. It is not enough to have the seal changed.
Underneath is excellant with NO RUST. Engine does
not burn oil. No smoke from exhaust. No rust in the trunk with all of
the original trunk carpeting including an original Cadillac rubber trunk
mat.
I have owned this car since November of 2008 and I
love it, but must sell it for room. I have had it garage kept. I have rebuilt the quadrajet carb and upgraded the exhaust with new muffler and tailpipes. removed all ca smog equip and have installed a custom bypass pulley. This piece of
equipment is unique. The front is stunning! The
Fleetwood standard hood stand-up Cadillac wreathed crest is missing. Talk about over the top... anybody
looking at this monster rolling up behind them on the highway will take
notice!
I have the original window sticker with all of the
original factory installed options. Plus additional original brochures
from 1973. Included with the sale of the car will be a nice softback
book about Cadillacs. What a
great package of Cadillac nostalgia for the Cadillac enthusiest.
The car will be sold with the brochures and hardback book. I am requesting only serious bidders for this car. If you are knowledgable about this era of American cars - this is an outstanding example for you to consider.
The car does need to be restored to be able to say its a "10". -
but....this would be an easy restoration job, with hardly any work to be
done on the interior and some work on the exterior. No re-chroming
needed. Come see this car and what AMERICAN ENGINEERING was all about.
There was only 24,800 Fleetwoods made in 1973. Only the
1973 models have the unique "beaver tail" rear end bumper. Starting in
1974, these vehicles had a restyle keeping the same dimensions. Few
1973's are on the road today. This one is very driveable today and a
head turner AS IS.

President Obama has used the same armored limo since his inauguration in 2008. Known by many as The Beast, the Presidential Limo was provided by Cadillac and earned its nickname in large part because of its massive size, which isn't surprising considering that its Caddy-shaped bodywork is said to sit atop a heavy-duty truck chassis.
It seems the Secret Service may be in the market for a Beast replacement, having issued a request for proposals for a new armored limo. According to Motor Trend, Obama's backup limo is a leftover from the Bush Administration, so it will be interesting to see if this new machine will serve as a replacement for The Beast or for its backup. The contract is to be awarded by September 29, 2013.
The boys from MT contacted Cadillac, Lincoln and Chrysler, and Chrysler is the only one that would confirm that it is not pursuing the contract. Cadillac may have the inside track, as it has provided Presidential limos since 1993, but Lincoln also has a long and storied history of chauffeuring the President.

If you are in the market for a luxury coupe but would prefer it to be American, then you are in luck because the configurator for the 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe is now online.
Prices for the Cadillac start at $38,990 (including the $995 destination fee) for the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 272 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, or $46,145 for the 321-hp, 275-lb-ft 3.6-liter V6. Gearbox options include a six-speed manual on some 2.0 models or a six-speed automatic on both of them, and they can be ordered with all-wheel drive for $2,450 to the four-cylinder or $2,600 to the 3.6.
One thing that Cadillac does especially well here is giving customers a plethora of models and options to choose from. Trim level choices include standard, luxury, performance and premium for the four-cylinder or luxury, performance and premium for the V6. There are also 10 colors available, five of which carry an extra premium of $495 or $995. Upgraded interior packages for $1,295 add improved trim and leather, as well.

General Motors has just confirmed that the 2014 Cadillac ELR will make its official debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. We've already seen the ELR testing earlier this year using the same range-extended electric drive system as the Chevrolet Volt, and based on the shadowy image above, we're happy to see that the coupe's styling has stayed pretty true to 2009 Converj Concept.
The two-door ELR will be built alongside the Volt at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck plant starting later next year. Aside from this info, Cadillac has remained tight-lipped on the specific details of the car. But all that will all change on January 15.
Until then, all we have to offer you is the press release posted after the jump.
