Description
This 1991 Cadillac Brougham was in one family for 20 years before I bought it in 2011 (with 25,000 documented miles). I kept it garaged and only drove it 2,000 miles or so a year -- as of this morning it has just 31,911miles (yes, zero-three-one-nine-one-one) showing on the mint digital dashboard!) It's a joy on the highway and benefits from handling upgrades made during this long-running series, plus it gets better than 20 MPG. The interior and exterior are what the mileage suggests they should be. Painted a distinctive "Light Antelope Firemist" metallic paint with matching vinyl roof and Irish cream-colored leather interior, this car turns heads and everyone who rides in it enjoys the experience. It feels and is special.
Its remarkably low mileage, averaging less than 1,400 miles annually, enhances this beautiful car's value and appeal. A car is only new once after all! The mileage is documented through receipts from the original owners. They also provided me a statement confirming that this mileage is accurate. You will know it is as soon as you see and sit in the car. Whether you keep it as a collectible, or drive it 10,000 miles a year from now through 2030, this Brougham is at your service!
I'm a Cadillac LaSalle Club member who appreciates these big classic cars. I was thrilled to find this car and planned to keep it a long time. The only reason I am selling it now is that I stumbled on a '92 Brougham limousine that had to follow me home. I can't justify keeping both so I look forward to passing this great Cadillac on for its next owner to enjoy.
Cadillac brought out a new generation of cars in 1977. They were leaner and crisper than the land yachts they replaced in both their looks and their performance. Following a couple of minor tweaks the cars were notably redesigned for 1980. Four years later another downsize was planned, but that one was less of a hit. Cadillac obliged the demand for big, rear-wheel drive luxury cars by keeping its Fleetwood Brougham (later simply Brougham) models in production with virtually no cosmetic revisions throughout the 1980s. In 1990, demand for the big cars was still strong, but competition was bearing down, so Cadillac belatedly gave its Brougham a facelift. The 1990-92 model run is distinguished by European style headlights, white taillights, and lower body cladding. While still not a paragon of aerodynamics, the big Caddy was freshened and presented a polished presence. This 221-inch car was the longest U.S. production car in its era! Inside it offers space few cars then or since have provided, with luxurious seating and seat belts for six adults. Niceties include a digital dash, power seats, power windows, power mirrors, cruise control, and automatic climate control. None of it is state-of-the-art but it's well-made and durable.
After I bought the Cadillac three years ago, I put on new tires and brakes, got an alignment, and had a scrape on the rear driver side door professionally repaired and painted. Other than that I've just driven and enjoyed it. The "Light Antelope Firemist #95" paint is all original except the driver's side, where the door was professionally repaired and paint exceptionally well-matched, and blended. I consciously decided not to repair two small creases in the front fender and the very back of the rear door passenger side (both shown in the photos) because the original paint was not broken and I wanted to preserve the car's originality. The most notable cosmetic thing that isn't up to par on this car is the lower rear bumper on the right side, which got moisture in long before I had the car and as shown has rust. (The car body is totally rust-free; only the chrome bumper is affected and it is a bolt-on part). Any car this age will have a few issues. The interior headliner is sagging in a few places -- GM never got that right on any car in this era it seems. It's still presentable. When I got new tires the shop lost the key to the wire hubcaps; they gave me a replacement but it doesn't fit. The car doesn't come with a spare tire .
The radial tires have only 5,000 miles on them. The battery is new. A 1991 Owners Manual and warranty card are included. As is a subtle nod to Don Henley's song "Boys of Summer."
I would not hesitate to drive this car cross-country tomorrow. If you are local, please come by and see it in person. If you live further away, bid with confidence that what you see is what you will get. The car is garaged in George Washington's hometown, Alexandria, Virginia. You can fly in to one of three area airports (DCA, IAD or BWI), see the sights of Washington, D.C. just ten miles from my house, then drive home in your amazing time capsule Cadillac. If you prefer to ship it I will be glad to meet your shipper and ensure it's loaded safely. I also might deliver the car within a reasonable distance at cost if the timing works.
