1978 Cadillac Fleet Wood Brougham. There were 36,800 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Sedans produced during 1978. Power was from a V-8 engine that displaced 425 cubic-inches and produced nearly 200 horsepower. Power was sent to the rear wheels via a Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission and disc brakes provided the stopping power. There were only minor changes over the prior year, such as the front seats which now had seatback pockets. On the exterior of the vehicle, the back bumper and the front grille had been restyled. There was a new wreath-and-crest ornamentation set within brushed chrome moldings.The Fleetwood Brougham name was a solid nameplate in the Cadillac lineup, first appearing in 1947 and produced through 1996.An extremely large vehicle, the Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham was introduced from 1947 until 1996 with the name combining two very well-know Cadillac trim lines, the Brougham and the Fleetwood. The name alone was meant to signify elegance and the finest of quality the maker could possibly produce. The original model to carry this name was the '47 Fleetwood Brougham with a sedan version, a coupe version as well as a limousine version. In comparison to the Sixty Special, the Fleetwood Brougham was a much more upscale trim line and featured tray tables and footrests in the rear. The original model was part of the Cadillac Series 60 line and was a closed, two-door coupe, two-door convertible, 4-door limousine, 4-door sedan and was Cadillac's first pillar-less hardtop and convertible, besides the Sedan DeVille and the Coupe DeVille. The Fleetwood Brougham was one of the most expensive models in the Series 62 line and it was intended as a prestige model. Inside the vehicle was luxuriously appointed and featured leather upholstery and chrome ‘bows' in the headliner to imitate the ribs of a convertible top. This generation was only in the market for this model for one year because the Cadillac line would undergo a complete remodel.
Vehicle has all original features. 2 Owners only, current owner since 1994. Always garaged and driven only in nice weather. Vehicle located in Helena, MT.

2015 Cadillac ATS sedan gets early reveal in making-of video
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Cadillac is apparently preparing to roll out a minor facelift for the ATS sedan - which we know not because General Motors has already revealed it or because we're looking at it in a fresh batch of spy shots (though we've seen that too), but because a behind-the-scenes video from the filming of its commercial has leaked out online. Which may be bad news for Cadillac, and even worse news for the film production company, but good news for us, because we get to see it ahead of schedule.
The revised sports sedan seems to be sporting a new front bumper and less egg-cratey grille with Caddy's new wreath-less badge at its center, all apparently put in place to bring the sedan more in line with the new ATS coupe.
We're sure Cadillac will be revealing the updated 2015 ATS sedan shortly, but you can scope it out right now in the video below. By way of comparison, we've included an image gallery of the current ATS, released back in 2013, as well.
2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe prepares to fight BMW 4 Series
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Cadillac introduced its new ATS Coupe at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show today, bringing customers an alternative to the growing range of sport luxury coupes typified by the BMW 4 Series, Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe.
The ATS Coupe, as a slightly more premium offering, ditches the wheezy 2.5-liter engine found in the basic ATS Sedan, but retains the four-door's 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder and 3.6-liter V6. That four-pot turbo benefits from a fettling that has increased torque from 260 pound-feet to 295, although its peak is only available from 3,000 rpm to 4,600 rpm, unlike in the sedan, where peak twist arrives at just 1,700 rpm and sticks around until 5,500 rpm.
Power can be channeled to either the rear or all four wheels by the owner's choice of a Tremec six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. According to Cadillac, the new Coupe can get to 60 in 5.6 seconds when fitted with the 2.0-liter turbo.
Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
