The Cadillac of Cadillacs
The Cadillac that stands out among other Cadillacs is the Fleetwood... No automobile has so captured the admiration of luxury car buyers as the magnificent Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. Luxurious on the grand Cadillac scale, outstanding, even among Cadillacs.
-Original Cadillac Advertisment
This particular car happens to be one of my favorite cars of all time. In an era of all front wheel drive Cadillacs, this one stands out as the only rear wheel drive model. It has the LT1 engine, which is the same powerplant found in the Corvette and the Camaro Z28. It is built on the same platform as the Chevrolet Impala SS and shares the exact same drivetrain. They did not make very many, and this one happens to be the perfect color combo in my opinion and in mint condition. I ony drive this car in nice weather on the weekends. This car has not even seen rain in years.
This is a completly rust-free car. It was made in the last 3 months of production of B/D Bodys. This car has every option available minus the trailer tow package (which I am not interested in having) and the Astroroof.
I have recently purchaced a brand new set of stock chrome wheels and some 1.3" wide white walls. (see page 2 for more info) here are some pics from before I put them on, with the original wheels and regular whitewalls:
