This is a 1983 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham D'Elegance that we inherited from my father-in-law. My oldest son has been driving it for the past 18 months and now he is going off to the marines. It has 78,000 miles and needs some work but is drivable. My son spent over $800 on a stereo system for the car. We are considering selling the car. Interested? We are looking for $800. If interested please send an email to dr-doug@msn.com.

Here's a view from the passenger side ...

It has the aluminum V8 which does not get good reviews but it seems to run fine if not a little underpowered.

Th interior of this car is fabulous ... it's like riding down the street in an easy chair.

The command center (OK the steering wheel) is right out of the 80's with a speedo that only goes up to 85 (obviously the govenment thought this was a good way to have us slow down ... what were they thinking?)

The trunk is big enough for all your luggage plus the occasional body

Overall, I'd have to say this car is BIG on style and prestige. I love going to an event where there is valet parking - heads turn when you pull up in this baby. My kids love it too and call it the limo.

Beautiful Brougham, it looks so much like my '90! I have the same engine in my '83 Coupe Deville, be carefull with it and DO NOT race, and it will be very good to you, but push it too hard and BAD things will happen(you don't want to go there)Also, at your local Cadillac dealer, they should have some pellets that are made for the cooling system. They keep it from leaking and its a good idea to have them. Their only like $7 for maby five, and you just grind them up and put them in the radiator full of coolent. Their made special for the HT4100. Sorry if I sort of went on, anyway come check out my caddys, peace.

Classics like this need to be saved and cherished, not given to 16 year old novice drivers to ruin. I'm guessing in three more years there will be one less really nice Brougham on the streets. Love the car though.
