Normally, cars like this can only be seen on meetings (or on youtube 😊)- thank you for showing us this beauty 👍🏻

This guy needs to study More American Auto History before telling Hiatory of Anything : ,Imperial ,was Chryslers Top Model ,for decades ,before it was ,called a "seperate " Auto Company .and 60s Hemis were Never put in imperials ,But this IS a Georgeous Car !

Sumthing is up wit this car I can’t find 1 no where

This car looks too much like a hearse.

Right now it’s a cross over wagon , but if they make frame more bulkier and 3.7 engine but the same style body , Lexus will take over the line from MB 450 and 350gle also bmw . Heck I’ll get on the van wagon .

Nice review, but too too much talk, less driving. Real motormouth....

I'd like to hear you pronounce your last name in one of your videos.

This is my dream cough. I was thinking about getting, but the price has dropped. I made it.

The leather was rare, but there was one for sale in NJ a couple of years ago.. My grandparents looked at the tallisman, but my grand mother didn't like the console, she bought an Eldorado instead

NICE CADDY!!!! I will agree it is one of the best looking cars. The Art & Science style is still cool. I wanted one from day one but they are always out of reach for me. I was able to buy a 13 CTS4 Performance coupe, which I LOVE! It's as close as I'll get to a XLR and that's OK. Thx Still have the XLR?

Finest expression of the Forward Look from the brilliant mind of Virgil Max Exner 😊❤.

Great video! Are you aware of any longevity problems concerning the computer or electronics, at 75,000 miles and beyond?. I am going to look at this model locally. Thank you

but how can you choose that ugly posh red interieur...

The new generation full-size GM line in 1992 had a real chance: the Fleetwood, Roadmaster, Custom Cruiser, and Caprice. Unfortunately, the styles just didn’t cut it, especially with the Caprice. Though this Fleetwood is beautiful, it had nothing on the styling of the generation before it, especially interior-wise. The Sedan deVille was much better appointed. I had a choice in 1995 between a LeSabre, Park Avenue, and Roadmaster, and for more than one reason chose the LeSabre. Never regretted it. Great video.

The interior is as breathtaking as the exterior.

RE: "lack of exhaust sound" Cadillac did this on purpose in the cases of both the XLR-V and the STS-V. Both cars used the Northstar engine. This was the early days of the V performance division when Cadillac was trying to shed its stodgy reputation as an old man's car. Executives wanted to hedge their bets by keeping some of its V lineup more muted. Both the STS and the XLR were flagships, competing with the Mercedes S Class and SL roadster respectively. The client demographic in both cases was older and deemed less likely to enjoy big thundering engines. They soon discovered that the CTS V was attracting younger buyers and selling like mad. Of course, we all know that the CTS was powered by the Corvette V8, rather than the Northstar. In the second generation, Cadillac dumped the full size executive sedan and the roadster, focusing rather on (and improving) the CTS, as well as later the ATS. The larger sedan had one last hurrah with the CT6-V Blackwing, which was obviously a limited run offering and also used a smaller displacement V8. If I were suddenly obscenely wealthy, I would fill a garage with Cadillac V cars. They are monuments to the quality of American engineering when corporate bean counters actually get out of the way and allow them to build world class cars.

I really appreciate the channel.

Very enjoyable videos on your channel James. I've been binge watching JW car reviews throughout this Thanksgiving weekend. All the while, increasing my appreciation of the Cadillac!

Viewers don’t need history of Lexus. Just review the unit period😡🤬🤬🤬

My dear sister had the 06 Black over blk...only one her many cars...Tires were flat spotted and rough ride to a friends funeral way fast tho!! Thx.

what is the price

Lincoln owner here. They are truly underestimated workhorses and ride brilliantly, with their legacy Crown Vic, Town Car and Volvo platform histories.

Magnificent car beautifully presented and reviewed.

Omg that is beautiful. Why can’t they make something like that today.

A few more comments: The overall lengths for the 1974-'76 full-sized, RWD Cadillacs were- Fleetwood Seventy-Five 252.2", Fleetwood Brougham 233.7" and de Ville and Calais 230.7". Also, fuel injection was an option. Rated at 215 hp and 400 lbs-ft torque but was not available on the Fleetwood Seventy-Five.

A whole new kind of candy store in Hershey! Thanks for bringing us along. Super interesting and beautiful cars!! Lots of metal eye candy. 🍫 🚗 🤪

Very unusual gem. 👍👍👍

Very nice review, thank you. I’ve been looking for this car but unfortunately previous owners have not generally kept them up well. I’m continuing my search so hopefully I’ll find one on holiday this winter in the south.

Grand Sport "Experimental" not "Extra" lol

The Dragon was a very high level trim on the Kaiser.Just look at the fabri on the seats.Bamboo on the dash perhapsl.These really were lovely cars in their day.Just lacked the requisite V-8

Great walk down memory lane. Thanks, James.

Such well-built machine with so much style and flare. One of my favorite Cadillacs, especially the 4 window Sedan DeVille. It was less bulky which balanced the fins and skags better than on the ither models.

Not a Powerflite auto transmission but a Torqueflite - you can tell by the 1 and 2 buttons. Powerflite (two speeds or gear ratios plus 4 element torque converter instead of the usual 3 elements) was the first Chrysler fully automatic transmission, available on 1954 models and used on some Chrysler products through 1961. Torqueflite with a 3 element torque converter but 3 speeds came out in late 1956.

The hemi V8 was discontinued the year before in 1958. It was bigger, heavier, and more expensive to make than the replacement V8, and engineering of wedge heads had improved since the hemi V8 was introduced in 1951. A hemi head engine also generally needs higher octane gas than a wedge head of the same compression ratio.

Actually the first two years of the non-Chrysler branded Imperials, 1955 and 1956, WERE still rebranded Chryslers. The 1955 had its own rear fender with a full wheel opening (shown at 2:57, except that is a stretched limo version done by Ghia) but the 1956 reverted to Chrysler rear fenders. In 1957 all Chrysler products were new and shared the same basic body and frame except Imperials, so that's when Imperials became really different cars from Chryslers. 1957 Imperials were the first mass production car with curved glass side windows, something other Chrysler products didn't get until 1965. Of course a lot was still shared like engines and transmissions etc.

This video is full of nickle dime bitching and moaning about things that didnt exist in 2006. Cars didnt sound "agressive" from the factory in 2006. Car interiors took a massive leap around 2010 or so comparing a 2006 is crazy.

This was such a great video, thank you! I really appreciate your review style. The love you have for these cars and the stories behind them really shines through. I particularly enjoyed the red '57 coupe story where the salesperson and the buyer were reunited after decades. After watching several of your reviews, this one clinched 😊the deal, I'm subscribed now. 😊👍🏼

A popular mistake of this age's drivers is to floor the brake pedal when they stop the car. You can see at 0:30 the car doesn't love that, and it makes awful expression when you stop like that. You have to be gently like with a proper lady.

One of the best cars ever made...last year of the RWD Cadillac's

Looks about three minis length if ya put 3 minis bumpers to bumpers.it’s pronounced Hampshear we never say-shire.like yorkshear.worcestershear.but obviously spelt shire.just said like shear

I’m from 🇬🇧 can never get my head round how big these old motors are.to me ya do a tenners worth of juice just pulling off.What sort of money we’re these new?. What they gonna cost you now to buy if ya wanted one now?.

I was four yrs old then, and I remember one of the towns leading citizens had a black one and was still looking brand new ten years later. Not a spec of dirt on it could be seen.

It really is a stunning vehicle. Love the colour too❤❤❤

I'm thinkin the badge Fleetwood on the passenger side is that in this case the electric seat changer is in the door but some are put on the side of the seat! Or maybe since the driver (owner) already knows the passenger will wanna hurry up and run out and by a Cadillac and more enthused that it's a Fleetwood and body by Fisher so they don't buy a Lincoln!

I fell in love with these 50's cars as a post war kid reading Car & Driver magazine in the UK. So much style, sleek and spacious, just forget the road holding cruising down I-95 from Connecticut to Florida.

Great car! Great video! Thanks for all you offer!

Back when you could tell a Cadillac from a Lincoln or an Imperial from 100 ft away. Try that now a days with all the different brands of SUV's. They all basically look the same!

Nice video. Covers things well. I’m looking at the same car. Just confirming that this is for me.

These still look brand new. Great design.
