If you want to turn heads,  this car will certainly do it!  This is rolling on 20" knockoff wire spoke wheels and has bull horns that go from fender to fender.  The window tint is new and in good shape.   This 1990 Cadillac Brougham has the factory fuel injected 5.7 engine.  The motor runs reliably with no check engine lights.  The transmission runs and shifts properly with no flaring shifts or issues.  This car has brand-new Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks on the front and rear and also has new rear springs.  The tires are good on the front and rear and don't have any leaks.  The front tread is around 75% rear tread is around 50%.  The car rides and handles surprisingly well.  It gets 20-22 mpg on the highway.  I drive it regularly on my 60 mile round trip to work and have not had any problems with it over the last year.  Most of the gizmo's still work on the car, Cruise control, Twilight Sentinel, Cassette Deck, Locks, Windows,  etc. 

 The Bad:  The climate control head needs to be replaced.   The blend door and fan work and the AC compressor is a remanufactured unit.  These climate control heads are about $30 at the scrap yards, and literally only take about 2-3 minutes to change.  I just haven't run across a 90-92 Brougham in the junkyard since it quit working last fall.  The vinyl top has lots of small cracks and discoloration.  Two of the doors have an approximately 2" spot bubbling up around the body side molding, this is a typical issue from GM cars of this era.   I have not seen any apparent rust issues with the rest of the car except on those doors,  The floor pans, rockers, quarters, fenders don't have any apparent rust.  Both front arm-rests are cracked, which is a common issue with these cars and you can get reproduction ones.  The headliner is pinned up into place.   

I have a factory GM shop manual for this car that will be included.  The lead-hammer and spanner wrench for the wheel spinners is included, and I have the stock wheels and tires that you can take if you want them.

This car is a TON of fun, and these Brougham's seem to be getting more rare and valuable, but I simply have too many cars right now to even maintain them all.  This car isn't perfect, but I will say that it has been a fun, reliable car that hasn't had a lot of hack-job repairs or jury-rigged wiring under the hood or dash.  It wouldn't be a difficult car to restore if you wanted a nice Brougham, but it's also great if you want something nice enough to have fun with but you won't have to worry about every nick and scratch.

 

You can see an in-car video of this fine car on youtube.  My user name on Youtube is hasty1982, you'll be able to find it in my videos.

2015 Cadillac Escalade

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

I have never liked traveling to Monterey, CA. The picturesque coastal city is about 300 miles from my home in Los Angeles, which means cramped and uncomfortable regional aircraft are part of the equation when the turnaround is only one night. Over the years, I have cursed the LA Basin's bumper-to-bumper traffic en route to the airport, argued with TSA personnel over carry-on baggage and waited countless hours for the fog to lift just for the anguish of being packed into a small regional jet for the flight. Of course, the process repeats on the trip home with equal misery.
Yet this time I am not suffering.
Cadillac has dropped its all-new 2015 Escalade in my driveway. Instead of battling city congestion, attempting to reason with misinformed government agents, snacking on a too-small bag of pretzels and physically rubbing shoulders with a dubious stranger for 90-plus minutes within the confines of a bumpy aircraft, I have chosen to forgo air travel and drive myself door-to-door in a fullsize luxury sport utility vehicle.

Cadillac toned down ATS Coupe design due to customer feedback [w/poll]

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

Automakers always face a difficult decision when it comes to styling their cars. Design them too blandly and nobody will get excited about them. But style them too aggressively and they'll often end up turning off potential buyers.
Cadillac, for its part, is no stranger to aggressive design, but when it came to the new ATS Coupe, it elected to tone things down a bit. Speaking with The Detroit News in a wide-ranging interview, Cadillac design director Bob Boniface revealed that the original design for its compact coupe was edgier - closer to that of the CTS Coupe - with a wedgier profile, a more steeply raked beltline and a more severe grille. But potential customers surveyed in clinics apparently didn't like it. They found it looked heavy, inefficient and not fun to drive. So Boniface and his team literally went back to the drawing board and "took as much visual mass out of the car as [they] could." The resulting coupe, while handsome, looks far more similar to its four-door companion than did Cadillac's CTS.
What do you think, does the new ATS Coupe look just right, or is it too conservative? Voice your opinion in our quick online poll.

GM recalling Cadillac ATS, XTS, Chevy Impala over faulty brake lamps

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

General Motors has issued a recall covering 1,627 sedans over faulty brake lamps. Both the 2013 Cadillac ATS and XTS are affected by this problem, as is the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
According to an official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, "the brake lamps may intermittently flash without the brakes being applied and the cruise control may disengage" on these vehicles. The report does not state that the brakes themselves are faulty, but rather that "if the brake lamps flash when the vehicle is not slowing, a following driver may not adjust vehicle speed when the vehicle is in fact braking."
This marks the first recall for the 2013 Cadillac ATS, as well as the recently introduced 2014 Chevy Impala. In late 2012, over 12,000 Cadillac XTS models were recalled due to a head restraint issue.
