Cadillac : Fleetwood Limousine

This Limousine was originally purchased by Industrial Indemnity Insurance Co. of San Francisco for the CEO. There were only 1. 39 Limousines built by Cadillac at the factory in 1984 and this is one of them.

This was the last year of the full length. rear wheel drive limousines built by Cadillac. In 1985. Limousines were outsourced to Limo companies that cut the cars in half and lengthened them. and they used front wheel drive cars that were smaller and less stately looking.

The Chauffeur was instructed to purchase a new Limo for the CEO and he got all the bells and whistles. From my research. only the Formal Limousine could get the six-way power seat. but this car has the six-way power seat.

It also has a reading light for the CEO that was added but it has stopped working recently. The car was repainted by the previous owner who was going to use it for livery services.

The paint was faded when I bought the car and I buffed it out to get a shine. I replaced the right taillight housing as it was slightly dented from an accident. I replaced taillights and also the molding below the grille and front bumper. The vinyl top is in decent shape.

There are bubbles beginning to develop below the sail panel at the belt line. I have kept the car garaged during my possession. I've replaced the plastic bumper to fender extensions at the front. The right side needs to be painted to match the paint on the car. Pictures show this.

I recently replaced the drive coupler on the front seat motor as the original disintegrated from age. so the power seat now works fine. The driver door window is a little noisy. it works but isn't as quiet as the rest. There is a foot wear spot on the driver side original floor mat. There are cigarette burns. one on the driver door and on the seat. pictures show these.

The car is leaking some oil. transmission fluid and differential oil. The cruise control works. but gets an attitude occasionally by surging.

I've not used the cruise control much. so maybe it's from the lack of use.

I put new tires on the car during ownership. They have low miles on them but are a few years old now.

I have all the receipts for the work I've had done to the car as well as the 1984 Cadillac Shop Manuals that will come with it.

IT came with the V 8/6/4 system but that has been disabled and runs on all eight cylinders all the time.
The car needs to go to someone who can maintain it and keep it up.

It's a rare car in my view with only 1. 39 built and the last of the Limos built at the Cadillac factory.

If you have any questions let me know and I will answer them to the best of my ability.
The car easily passed emissions within the last month for it's registration.
Buyer to arrange for pickup and shipping.

After having listed the car I learned here on e Bay that the odometer had been changed before I purchased the car.

The funny thing about this is that when I was fixing problems with the instrument cluster the mileage ended up advancing 10. 00 miles on the odometer. therefore bringing it back to it's original mileage. So. the mileage on the odometer now is now very close to accurate!

After having listed the car for auction on e Bay. I learned from Auto Check that the odometer was rolled back several years before my ownership! The funny thing about this is that when I was doing repairs to the instrument cluster. when placing it back into the dash. the odometer advanced one number on the 10. 00 mile wheel.

I've thought all this time that the odometer was showing more miles than what was true. but now I know that the odometer is very close to accurate!
