SOLD I don't care about the haters - to me, without a doubt, this is the last great Cadillac ever built, at least in terms of what originally defined a Cadillac - full frame, ride like a cloud, ornate decor, V8 power, and enough supple leather inside to scare a herd of cows. This low mileage example is finished in my favorite 80s color - Autumn Maple Red with matching leather, and is an absolute time machine - the best preserved example I've seen in almost two decades.
By the time this Brougham rolled off the assembly line in Texas, Cadillac had given the Fleetwood name exclusively to the smaller front-drive platform, and kept only the Brougham name for this big rear driver. The D'Elegance Package added button-tucked leather, embroidered script on the door panels, rear adjustable map lights, and few more bits of bling. The 5.7 liter option added the bigger corporate GM engine (350 Chevy) with the 4L60E 4-speed automatic, a nearly bulletproof drivetrain. This thing was made to eat up highway, and float its way to the yacht club.
So having and driving this car is a bit of a dream for me - I'd been looking for one for quite a while, but onl saw turds and beaters floating around. To play with one in this condition was more than I could have asked. Full walkaround, test drive, and review by Bill. The car is for sale at Auto Europa Naples, and can be viewed at www.AENaples.com. For more information, call Marty at (239) 298-8000. SOLD*

A neighbor bought one of these in 1990, and he let me drive it once. I have never driven anything as elegant and classy as that car. This was when a Cadillac was really a Cadillac!!! Nothing like the crap Cadillac puts out today.

Even if I never get to buy a car from you, it's worth the time to watch your videos just to hear your own unique style talking about the cars you're selling. But as a 59 year old man, I love those old Caddies too! The haters are going to call them "land yachts", and talk about how slow they are and how they don't handle well, but as you get older you appreciate comfort more and just being able to take your time doing things instead of always rushing around for no reason.

I'm delighted you took the opportunity to do this particular model a second time. I cannot get enough of that car.. What can I say, I'm a Cadillac guy, born in 1957, which was a pretty good year for a Cadillac guy to be born. As a child, ALL years of the post-war Cadillacs were very much part of the national fleet. As a child, I was fascinated to pick out design details and marvel over their evolution over the years. And more than any other car company, Cadillac was a car that resolutely stuck with an evolution of the original model of the car, all the way to the bitter inevitable end. Specifically, high powered, massively proportioned coupes, sedans, limousines and convertibles. They all had that snooty 'look at me' look that only Cadillac was able to pull off. By 1992, the party was over. The beached whale Fleetwood that returned in 1993 looks like the box the Seville STS shipped in. Very ungainly proportions that just looked weird, and the passage of time hasn't done it any favors. Which is too bad, because an attractive update may have kept the model going. But probably not. The plant was retooled for this SUV onslaught, and it's been all downhill for traditional motor cars for the most part. Bland, boring, mostly reliable appliances. Whatever.. The 1992 STS allowed Cadillac to demonstrate it's atrophied design mojo, but they didn't continue in that direction with other models. The Eldorado of the same generation, was rather underwhelming IMO... Design on that one was restrained to the point of near anonymity, The taillights, fenders and grille from this 1990 Fleetwood.. (I know they call it a 'Brougham'.. Don't let them kid you, this is the classic Fleetwood.) would be an improvement, but Cadillac designers should have been able to do much better than what we wound up with. Love your channel.. it's like a box of chocolates for me, trying to decide which to watch next. So far, all have been informative and highly enjoyable. Keep it up !

I know this review is a year old, but I have just recently discovered this channel. I turned 18 in 1990, and I would have absolutely loved this car back then. What a ride! My dad had a ‘78 Sedan de Ville when I was a kid, and that turned me on to Cadillacs at a young age. My wife used to make fun of me when we were dating because I used to point out what she called the “old man cars.” If you know, you know, am I right?

Definitely brings back memories of a simpler place and time, for sure. When I a kid, my Aunt Marie had a 1984 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, (identical car as this 1990 Brougham, they just hadn't dropped the Fleetwood name yet, for the body on fame RWD V8 land yacht) and going for an hour and a half roadtrip to a family reunion when I was about 12. 20 yrs later I can contest, nothing made today that I've been in so far, rides like the big Cadillacs of that era. My cousin got brought the car when he needed a car for college, still owns it and plans not to sell it, as his grandfather worked at the engineering department of GM at the time, in Detroit, brought it straight from the factory and even got to watch his own car roll of the assembly line. I personally don't blame my cousin for refusing to sell it to me. Isn't that special.

So happy you are so into this car.

When I was about 13 in about 1975 my favourite car magazine had a comparison test between a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, a Cadillac De Ville, Mercedes 450 SEL and a Daimler Double Six (Jaguar). They had diagrams of the suspensions and I just went whoa! when I saw how many links the Cadillac suspension had. It looked the most sophisticated of them all and I really didn't expect that (the Cadillac was by far the cheapest).

He drove it through his undergrad college years but in 2016 the digital instrument cluster went south so we donated the car. It only had 60,000 miles at that time and still rode great.

Bill, Canada loves you. I love these Cadillacs. These are truly remarkable automobiles. When you see a car like this; heads turn, eyes widen, jaws drop. I have an Escalade which to me is the last vestiges of this now forgotten era of automobiles. Nothing like it was, but as good as it gets these days. These cars had class, character, personality, and exuded opulence. You know what they had too, in spades??? Room! I am 6 foot 5 and these little pretend cars are the size of a compact car from the 60's or 70's. I have suits bigger than some of these cars.

I was 14 at the time and we use to always take the caddy to lake George NY every summer and it was so comfy and had ice cold air. What a beautiful car that was and it literally shimmered when it was washed and waxed! Gorgeous and you are right they don’t make cadillacs like this anymore and it is sad.

you are right last of the 'real' Cadillacs, and loved the 72 Deville video too, I must be a dinasour too as I love driving a car like this and sitting in your couch as you drive down the road steering with your pinky - keep up the good work great videos !!

When I parked cars during most of the 80's most of the seville's of the era the brakes would go all the way to the floor! the brougham was never a problem and was a fine car!

I think the 94-96 lt1 Fleetwoods are contenders for the name of "last great Cadillac". 80 more horse power than this car with all the modern features you really need, it is a much needed refresh over the archaic brougham. Although this brougham arguably has more iconic styling. You said the 93-96 had weird aero styling but to me it seems similar to the 70s Chrysler/imperial fuselage styling when you look at how the sides curve out. Really it doesn't look too different than the early 90s town cars with the big headlights, you can tell they both wanted to get away from the boxy 80s styling. I do like how the 93-96 Fleetwood still has a small hint of tail light fins, they weren't wrap around lights like on the town car

I disagree. While you are correct the drivetrain is better in the 93-96...the interior leaves much to be desired. And that's a big deal. Plus,this one is the last with the traditional "Cadillac" body style,when you say the word Cadillac to most people,they think of this body,or an early 60's car.

As soon as I saw my 1997 Fleetwood Brougham leave my driveway after the sale,, I knew that---D---s, no matter what the perceived crisis is, keep your passion!! Only comfort was I knew buyer was going to bring it back to showroom.
