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.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

Cadillac V-Series Academy comes to Las Vegas [w/video]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

General Motors has added another high-speed education course to the curriculum at the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. The desert track already hosts the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School with Chevrolet Corvettes, including the ZR1, and they've just added the Cadillac V-Series Academy.
Open now, the one- and two-day performance driving school teaches "the finer points of high performance driving" using the 556-horspower instructional aids known as the CTS-V sedan, coupe and wagon. This is different than than using the CTS-V at the Monticello Motor Club on the east coast - that's part of a sponsorship deal that Cadillac has with the track. The driving course at the Motorsports Ranch is its own program that was developed by Fellows, and we have no reason to think the Cadillac edition won't be just as thorough and enjoyable as the one with Corvettes.
Unlike the 'Vette edition, however, it doesn't appear that you get an invitation to the program if you buy a CTS-V model. Classes are capped at 12 participants and run $1,295 for a single day, $2,295 for two days. There are a video and a press release below with more info.

Cadillac to launch Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology in two years [w/video]

Sun, 07 Sep 2014

We all know that self-driving cars are coming. It's not so much a question of If so much as When. And when it comes to General Motors products, we now have something of a date to work with, as Cadillac has announced plans to roll out what it is calling Super Cruise technology in an unnamed new model within the next two years. As you would expect, this new tech can speed the car up, slow it down and keep it in its intended lane, but GM isn't expected to release a fully self-driving car, saying that it will still require "an attentive driver."
We're not quite sure what new model Cadillac will use to launch this new technology, but our best guess would be its upcoming LTS sedan. Other possibilities may include a new crossover - we've heard rumors of CUVS coming from Caddy both above and below the current SRX - or entry-level sedan, but those seem less likely than a high-dollar flagship like the LTS.
The next techy bit of kit currently being shown off by Cadillac engineers includes vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, technology which would seemingly allow cars to travel in close proximity to one another, with less danger of collisions. According to our friends at Engadget, GM is working with the University of Michigan to outfit some 120 miles of roads in and around Detroit, MI, with the requisite sensors to make all this technology possible.
