Low-Mileage 1990 Cadillac Brougham Emerges as a Classic Luxury Time Capsule
A striking 1990 Cadillac Brougham with just 33,079 miles from new has surfaced from The Carolina Collection, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire what many consider 'the last true Cadillac.'
Built during Cadillac's final era of large rear-wheel-drive sedans, this full-size Brougham blends traditional opulence with confident performance. Few models were ordered with the optional 5.7-liter V8, which provided a noticeable power bump over the standard 5.0L, making this example especially desirable. The larger engine produced 185 horsepower and allowed this nearly 19-foot-long sedan to cruise effortlessly — Cadillac proudly noted drivers could 'travel in the passing lane without leaving the comfort zone.'
This Brougham is finished in Autumn Maple Firemist with Silver lower body cladding and wears a fully padded vinyl roof featuring a limousine-style rear window treatment. Inside, the cabin is dressed in button-tufted Dark Maple Red leather and fitted with deep Tampico carpet, embodying the plush, couch-like interiors Cadillac was famous for.
Originally sold at Scheidmantel Olds-Cadillac in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, the car was ordered with nearly every available factory option, including Brougham packages 1SB and 1SC. These packages added power accessories, illuminated vanity mirrors, automatic door locks, and more. The trunk, engine bay, and undercarriage all remain exceptionally clean, with the vehicle recently receiving a fresh A/C service and a set of new Vogue tires.
A clean CARFAX confirms consistent Pennsylvania ownership until the car entered The Carolina Collection in 2024. The sale includes the original window sticker and owner's manual, further emphasizing its originality and care.
As a preserved example of American luxury at its peak, this Cadillac Brougham stands as a reminder of a bygone era when comfort and presence ruled the road.

Two-Decade Innovation Journey of MagneRide® Magneto‑Rheological Dampers
As a pioneer in automotive technology, BWI Group has carved out a legendary path of iterative breakthroughs at the very frontier of chassis engineering. MUNICH, July 23, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--When BWI Group invented and launched the MagneRide® magneto‑rheological damper in 2002, the company has propelled MagneRide® on an extraordinary voyage of technical innovation—an adventure of innovation, challenge and bold breakthroughs. Every generation of MagneRide® embodies BWI Group's relentless pursuit of sharper vehicle dynamics and superior ride comfort. Constant innovation drives the company to perfect its craft, ensuring that each new iteration delivers a palpably better driving experience. MagneRide® has elevated vehicle handling and comfort while widening its reach from exotic super‑cars and premium nameplates to a far broader market. First Generation: Started from laboratory magic The story begins in a laboratory brimming with curiosity and ambition. In 2002 the first‑generation MagneRide damper was mass produced for the very first time, endowing the debut application—the Cadillac STS—with unprecedented handling prowess. Second Generation: Reinforced system favoured by super‑cars The second‑generation MagneRide® damper entered the market in 2006. Upgraded magneto‑rheological fluid and a newly designed piston armed the system for both enhanced comfort and assured control in varied conditions. Europe's top super‑car marques soon extended olive branches, validating MagneRide's unparalleled competitiveness in the high‑performance arena. Third Generation: Leap with speed & passion In 2011, the third‑generation MagneRide® damper's evolution came with dual‑coil technology pushing response frequency to 1,000 adjustments per second. Meanwhile, dual‑layer sealing made the system more durable, and slashed maintenance costs. Fourth Generation: Benchmark in smart‑drive era Arriving in 2020, the latest generation of MagneRide® suspension system once again stunned the industry and raised the bar for future mobility. Thanks to a cutting‑edge ECU, wheel‑end accelerometers and an IMU, magneto‑rheological fluid reacts in a lightning‑quick 0.5 millisecond. BWI Group's proprietary algorithmic refinements significantly enhance vehicle stability, ushering in a brand‑new driving paradigm. The latest MagneRide® suspension system endures more than 300,000 km of gruelling service and operates flawlessly in extremes ranging from −30 °C to 105 °C. It conquers every environment beyond the laboratory, and many flagship models have adopted the system. The fourth generation MagneRide® suspension system paves the way for boundless possibilities in automotive innovation. From the inaugural invention, through the benchmark‑setting fourth generation, every stride attests to BWI Group's tireless quest for technical excellence and precise understanding of market needs.

How Cadillac turns old newspapers into luxury car interior trim
Electric vehicles don't produce "tailpipe" emissions, but the materials used to make them still have an environmental impact. To make that impact as small as possible, some automakers are turning to recycled materials. One of them is General Motors, which is using recycled material for interior trim, starting with the 2025 Cadillac Optiq compact electric crossover. "It's not just the materials we use, but how we are applying them in a really exciting way for the customer," Nina Cho, a colors, material, and finish designer who worked on the Optiq, said in a GM press release. "We took a new approach to interior materials application and placement." As an alternative to the petroleum-based plastics and synthetic textiles used in most car interiors, Cadillac chose what it calls "patterned accent fabric." Woven from yarn made from 100% recycled materials, it has a more interesting textured appearance that was designed to complement the different interior color schemes available on the Optiq, according to Cadillac. Cadillac is also putting a new spin on that traditional marker of automotive luxury-wood trim. An available "PaperWood" veneer is made up of equal parts tulip wood and recycled newspaper. Cadillac claims that letters from the newspapers are visible when viewed up close, although from a normal distance it looks like conventional wood trim. "The PaperWood veneer is made by repeatedly stacking the thin layer of the dark tulip wood with the recycled newspaper, and they essentially mill the laminates for use in the car from the stack," Cho said. "What's really special about this process is that the veneer is made up of different newspapers, so each trim piece is entirely unique to that vehicle." Cadillac's entry-level EV, the Optiq is slated to get a few updates for 2026, despite this only being its second model year. Highlights include a lower base price thanks to the addition of a new rear-wheel drive model to the lineup, plus the launch of the sporty Optiq-V. Meanwhile, some the Optiq's recycled interior materials are also making an appearance in the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq three-row electric SUV. Along with the Optiq and Vistiq, Cadillac's EV lineup includes the Lyriq and Escalade IQ, as well as the Celestiq, a hand-built sedan costing about $350,000. This gives Cadillac an electric lineup mirroring its gasoline crossovers-and they're selling well. In its second-quarter financial results, GM reported that Cadillac is now the number one luxury EV brand in the United States and that one of every four Cadillacs sold in the U.S. in the first half of the year was electric.
