I think it is very nice that you have the opportunity to drive these amazing old cars that are in incredible condition. Keep up the great work. This Cadillac has features that are not even on my 2015 Suburban LT or my 2016 Equinox LT. Simply amazing.

The view down the hood reminds me of what I saw in my grandparent's 1983 Cadillac. It was a light yellow inside and out (NOT school bus yellow). A rare and beautiful color. The smell of the leather interior and all the features were a thrill for my young kid self. Oh yeah, there was an actual bell in the dash that would ring as the seat belt reminder. That was some high society stuff!

Great video! 99% of the folks out there will never have to opportunity to drive and appreciate one of these lost-forever Cadillacs. I have the 76 convertible and your video gets you as close as you can get without actually driving one of these iconic beauties. I found so many of the things that you demonstrated on the 3 types of driving "city, highway, and country" amusing. From the sounds of the blinkers to the excessive body roll with the "pinky" steering. You clearly captured what these rolling sculptures were designed for. Cruising in absolute comfort and style. NO, these cars were not meant to take a curve at 100mph. NO, these cars were not meant to do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. NO, they were not meant to get 30 miles to the gallon. If you had to worry about fuel economy back then you could not afford to drive a Cadillac. To expect this means you missed the whole point and purpose of a Cadillac of this era. I may do the same type of video with my Convertible unless you beat me to it...lol

My father's older brother purchased a Fleetwood Brougham de Elegance new in 76. Light blue with a white padded top. It had every option availableincludingthe power moon roof. Seems to my recollection that his had the 3rd side " opera " windows. When he died in 91 that car was very low mileage and still in showroom condition. It brought a good price. Fleetwood was still putting some quality into their interiors where the run of the mill Caddys had really gone badly downhill in the mid 70s. Wish I had that car. Thanks for sharing yours.

I had a 1970 Eldorado with the 400 HP version of the 500 cubic inch engine. This was the highest horsepower ever put in a Cadillac from the factory. Also, I had true dual exhaust added at a muffler shop with glass pack low restriction units. I used to amaze onlookers with clouds of tire smoke coming from the front tires. It was very quick to respond to even partial throttle inputs. What a beast!!

LOL.....20 yrs ago I had the unfortunate experience of taking my driver's test in my father's 1976 Fleetwood Talisman. (It was a choice between our 1965 R.R. SC3, or Talisman.) My Beemer wasn't delivered yet, the only cars available were from my father's collection, and the RR & the Caddy were the only one's I could find a key for. (My parents were traveling abroad.) Needless to say, after learning to drive through the driver's ed car, a chevy celebrity, I was ill equipped for either behemoths. Surprisingly I did well enough in the Caddy EXCEPT for the parallel parking. I had to re-take the test again in my Beemer. TO THIS DAY...when I drive the Caddy...I still can't parallel park the beast!! Beautiful car you have there!!

I'm glad to see that someone else likes those stitch-on leather steering wheel covers... I guess that at least makes two of us... Nobody seems to use them anymore. By the way, if you slip the steering wheel's center pad/spoke pad off and tuck those institched ends in underneath it when you snap it back on, it almost looks like a "factory" leather wrapped wheel. She's a beautiful Fleetwood Formal... Cheers

The mid to late 1970s were transition years for this type of Cadillac. Up until this point, they were purchased new by either rich people who had a personal chauffeur, by governments, or by corporations for senior executives. Afterwards, more and more of them were sold to businesses who rented them by the hour. The trend was to longer limousines and custom (not factory) conversions. Cadillac finally gave up on factory limousines after 1987.

Fun POV ride, in a very nice car! Sounds rattle free except for one little creak that was pretty constant throughout. Seemed like you really got it to move out well on the freeway for such a huge car! That was the last year of the Mega presence Caddy! Surprised the top expanse dash was hard and not padded or was that it just sounded hard when you tapped on it? Dash is perfect and not cracked, very nice. Looks like the steering wheel cracked like most did, and they covered it. Loved the blue velvet seats, they were very comfortable, not cold in the winter or hot in the summer. By '76 they had gone to the casket door handle pulls, earlier years had a thin strap that broke especially on the heavy 2-doors. Someone loved this car very well and took nice care of her! Love seeing your pretty little town & country side! Very idyllic! Enjoyable ride James!

Haha, I'll have to do another video where it's just a ride along 😂 And I loved your video! That Lincoln was definitely my favorite out of all those cars.

@@JW_Reviews LOL! A ride along in the back would definitely be awesome! Thanks for watching our video! I thought you'd like the limo. We have 4 more shows scheduled this summer, so we should iron out any kinks!

2-3 features I think you missed... The passenger side outside mirror remote control, to the right of the steering wheel. The automatic parking-brake release. And .. for a series 75... a view from the driver's seat out the back. What's really intimidating about these cars is how LONG they are behind you. It's crazy! (I have a '70 model of the same car.)

Beautiful car! If I was fortunate enough to buy one like this the only thing I would omit are the covered third windows. Nice presentation James 👍!

Wow what a beautiful Caddy! I used to own a 72 Sedan Deville which was a nice ride, but I love the interiors of the 74-76 Cads much better. Your Fleetwood seems so relaxing and peaceful to drive. You also have some pretty smooth roadways. I would never drive an old Caddy as nice as yours in a state like CA where our street conditions and freeways look like they have been hit by missile strikes and an earthquake! Potholes, uneven lumpy lopsided pavement and cracks that you swear bombs had of been dropped on top of them. We absolutely have atrocious infrastructure in so many cities in CA that’s it’s unbelievable especially when compared to so man other states. I loved the drive! 😎👍

What a great idea!!!! Exactly as I would check a cool car if I had a chance to drive it. I am leaving a link in my US cars forum. I hope many more viewers will follow! Great content! I can’t wait for more. Btw. Anyone knows how this would drive fully loaded? 8 people on board adds a looot of weight:-)

Thank you!! I really, really appreciate you helping attract more people to the channel. That's a really nice thing for you to do 😁 And that's a great question! I'm guessing it would be a good bit slower but it's already a very heavy car, so who knows how it would ride. I'll have to test that out someday 🤔

The added weight is compensated with the self-leveling rear suspension (air shocks with on-board compressor and valve) and all those bodies add less than half of the curb weight!

Note that it doesn't have leather! I prefer the cloth. I hope it was made better than my old '76 Chevy Vega. Still it wouldn't be long before GM took a dump on Cadillac.
