Vehicle Detail

This Car Is Very Rare!! There were very few cars made with this option package FLEETWOOD LIMITED they were built a little bigger and heavier duty to be used as private Limo or commercial use, I did a little research on the Internet and here is some information that I found. MY RESEARCH: Superior (USA) Based on the DeVille platform, the Fleetwood Limited is being converted by Superior Coaches of Lima, Ohio, and sold through authorized Cadillac dealers. Essentially a six-inch stretch edition of the DeVille, the Fleetwood Limited sits on a unique 119.8-inch wheelbase, six inches longer than the standard one. The trunk is also lengthened by six inches, so the overall length of the Fleetwood Limited is a foot more than that of the standard DeVille. As a result, rear seat leg room is increased by six inches to 49.3 inches, while trunk capacity rises from 20 cubic feet to 23.5. In addition to stretching the existing Cadillac platform, the Fleetwood Limited benefits from a number of strengthened components. Included are heavy-duty suspension and steering systems, special heavy-duty ABS, and heavy-duty cast aluminum wheels of a design unique to the Fleetwood Limited. The new model, which is intended as a replacement for the rear-drive Fleetwood that was discontinued after the 1996 model year, was designed by Earle Moloney, a long-time figure in the custom conversion industry. Cadillac approached Superior, however, for actual manufacturing. Only Cadillac Dealers across the country who were signed up for Cadillac's Limousine and Professional Car Sales Outlets were able to order & receive these cars. Made by Superior Coachbuilders of 2550 Central Parkway in Lima, Ohio 45804, under CONTRACT with Cadillac Motor Division for two (2) model years, 1998 & 1999, to offset run-a-way sales of Lincoln's larger & roomier Town Car. This car began as a Sedan De Ville and was shipped to Superior Coachbuilders, whose MAIN BUSINESS is limousines, Livery Sedans, Flower Cars, and Hearses. Cadillac made up a SPECIAL option for cars that they’re going to go there to be converted into FLEETWOOD LIMITEDS .... it was a "Mandatory" option, meaning you could NOT get one of these without the option, BUT this option was NOT included in the base list price! THE Option:- Code WC7 = "WC7 Package" {It's name} Heated Front Seats Power Front Seats Electronic Compass Rear View Mirror Theft Deterrent System Homelink Garage Door Opener Now, the second Cadillac-Installed Option AT the Cadillac Plant was Code WC3 = Concours Appearance Package, consisting of the Concours' Black-Out Grille with hood ornament removed and the Cadillac Wreath & Crest placed IN the grille's center (on the grille itself). The third and FINAL option FROM Cadillac, installed ON the Assembly Line was Code U1S; that being the Trunk Mounted 12-Disc Compact Disc AutoChanger. Now.... From Superior came the following "OPTIONS" ~~ Fender Skirts Chrome Grille Cap (available on either Grille ~ looked terrific on Concours Grille) Single or Dual Fold Down Rear Seat Writing Tables Simulated Convertible Roof Rear Seat Footrests (dual) Full Length Padded CLOTH roof Rosen DVD/TV Monitor Fold Down from Rear Headliner Gold Ornamentation Pkg. Listed as "Delayed availability" {Unknown if ANY were ever made} was a 6-Way Power Option for the rear seat. No Code & No Price ever listed. Dealer installed options: Power Glass Moonroof Hands-Free Cell Phone (G.M.) On-Star System (G.M.) Production: (Most dealers number are wrong or "guesses" ~ THIS IS EXACT !!) 1998 = 314 1999 = 467 Total = 781 All exterior paint colors were available on them. Parisian Blue was the rarest, with 2 made. PRICING:- $ 49,330.00 = Price of Base Unit incl. a $4,000 reduction for items omitted by GM, that would be discarded by Superior anyway. $ 00,885.00 = Destination $ 00,727.00 = WC7 $ 00,000.00 = WC3 (No Charge) $ 00,450.00 = Fender Skirts $ 00,336.00 = Chrome Grille Cap $ 00,427.00 = Single Rr.

The VINs on them denote that as it left Cadillac's final assembly plant that they were incomplete, not yet roadworthy cars. VEHICLE CONDITION: I was told most of the miles were highway miles. I've owned the car for about seven years and it has run great. I went on a few nice trips with it and got 24 to 27 MPG on a trip, about 18 to 22 MPG around town. For a big car I think it is incredible. The Interior is great and has a Cell Phone and On Star capability that will stay with the car. The car has not been used for a while and has been outside. To make this car nice again it will need to be gone over and repainted. There are 158,308 miles on the car. This Car is Emerald Green With A Cream Interior. The VIN # Is 1GEEH90YXWU550937. Other than this the car is a real Treat and must be seen. So if you would like to see it call 717-341-3131 and arrange a time to take a ride. Any questions please let me know before you bid.
