1992 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham D'elegance 5.7 Litr Low Miles Original Survivor on 2040-cars

Year:1992 Mileage:68900
Location:

Atlanta, Georgia, United States

Atlanta, Georgia, United States

For your consideration I am offering for sale my 1992 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d’Elegance sedan.  The car has been driven only 68, 900 miles from new and has been maintained in a climate controlled garage.  This car has clearly been meticulously maintained since new. I have owned the car for three years using it only for show and special occasions having bought it from another collector.  This is the best driving, comfortable, and most reliable collector car I have ever owned.  I would not hesitate to drive the car any distance.  I’m always amazed at how much attention the car receives, both at shows and on the street.  I recently took the car to an upscale dining establishment and when the valet returned the car he said it was his favorite of everything he had driven.  That includes some pretty exotic company so I thought it a great compliment.  My reason for selling is that I just took another collector car in for paint and bodywork and it is going to be quite a bit more costly than anticipated. 

 

This particular car has always been a Southern car.  I believe the color is Sapphire Blue Metallic.  The car features the optional 5.7 liter V8 with throttle-body fuel injection (Chevrolet 350 I believe), four speed automatic, and 3.08:1 rear axle ratio.  The Brougham of course features power everything and the standard premium AM/FM stereo with tape deck.   Everything on the car is in fully functional condition right down to the auto trunk release and pull-down feature. 

 

Drivetrain:  In my three years of ownership the only item I have had to replace is the water pump which was approximately 400 miles ago.  I believe the fuel pump was replaced just before my purchase.  The car performs flawlessly, has good pick-up, and has never let me down.  Every feature in the car works as it should and the climate control air conditioning blows very cold.  Cruise control works as it should, wipers and spray, everything is turn-key ready on this car.  The engine compartment is extraordinarily clean and fresh looking and the engine does not even show any paint loss to speak of. 

 

Chassis:  The Hankook Optimo whitewall tires were installed just prior to my purchase and now have approximately 6000 miles on them.  When I purchased the car I had the brakes inspected and they were found to be in nearly new condition at that time.  I assume they were overhauled at the same time the tires were purchased.  The wire wheel-covers are in really excellent condition with exception of the right rear showing one linear inch of curb rash.  The underside of the car is very clean with only the normal sporadic light surface rust.  The body is 100% rust free.

 

Interior:  The interior is in nearly new condition.  There is only the very slightest wear on the side of the drivers sear along the edge facing the door.  It is so minimal it is almost not worth mentioning. The interior is in a remarkable state of preservation with no cuts or tears.  The leather is still very supple and the back seat looks never to have been sat in.  The dash and door panels are nearly flawless.  The headliner was replaced by the original owner and I would never guess it had been done had I not been told.  Apparently the carpet was replaced at the same time and is still fresh and like new.  The trunk is original, as is the mat, all in excellent condition.

 

Body and trim:  I believe the paint is all original with the exception of the front fiberglass valance which was professionally painted for show.  There is a dimple just to the left of the trunk lock where it looks like something fell against the car, you have to catch it in the right light to see it.  The plastic fillers around the tail lights are supple and perfect.  The silver plastic rear bumper filler has two cracks and I never got around to replacing it, the part is available.  The vinyl top is in amazing condition and I would say 99.9% of the stitching is intact which is a rarity.  There is a small 3/8” round filled in patch centered over the rear window at the bend of the roof.  It’s not really noticeable but I must mention it, it was there when I purchased the car.  The color of the roof is very good with only a few dime sized etched spots from bird droppings.  This Brougham is fully detailed for show, right down to the door jambs.  The car is ready to drive onto the show field and has recently placed first among some formidable competition, in one case against four other similar Broughams.  I searched quite a while to find a 90-92 Brougham d’Elegance with the 5.7 in this condition and color and it has been nothing but a joy to drive and own. 

 

I am a private collector, not a dealer.  The car is located in Atlanta, GA 30307 Clear title, no warranty expressed or implied.  My preferred method of payment is wire transfer or cashiers check.  Car is local pick-up only, I work from home so will do my best to accommodate pick up or your transport company.  Thank you.

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.

Cadillac to vie for Secret Service armored car contract, new Beast?

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

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.

Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.
