Brings back wonderful memories seeing this beauty on wheels. Flooded by memories of Brogan, DiMassi, Towne, Potamtkin, and Feldner. Anyone from Jzy knows that these were the Cadillac dealers of yesteryear in New Jersey. Luv this channel

What about King Cadillac in Freehold NJ (it's long gone), and Gold Coast Cadillac in Ocean NJ (still around). I grow up in Brooklyn NY with Nelson Balmer Cadillac, which is where my dad usually got his Caddies from.

Beauty! Love it! 4100 engine is good as long as the owner kept those tabs in coolant. Glad to see the tabs, that means they knew the maintenance needed.

Back in the day I worked in the wholesale used car business. I had use a car and could have my pick. The Eldorado’s were my favorite. I probably drove a dozen of this series. This brings back a lot of pleasant memories.

One horn is not working the high tone. Assuming it didn’t have the train horn option. Not a big deal, they come back sometimes with a small adjustment. Especially may be the case as clean and well kept as this old girl is.

1984 I was in high school, 16 years old. This was the car all the famous rappers at that time wanted to be seen in. He may not be keeping it but he has kept it in tip top shape. I like Toronado more but Id love to have this one if I could. 14,000 miles are well kept but you can use it as a weekend cruiser. Only slap on it a pair of NY yellow plates. A real beauty.

Since the green light came on for cruise it isn't the brake switch. Could be the speed buffer module, the cruise unit in the engine bay or the link to the accelerator is disconnected.

A great looking car, the deep red interior lifts the car to another level. Non-working cruise is not a big issue if you want to keep the milage down. After 40 years of little use there will always be a few items that won't work. Still a rare chance to own one in as new condition.

I may be wrong, as I am no expert, but I believe the horn on those cars was two-tone, if not three-tone. I heard only one.

Back in 1985-86 I bought a mint 30,000 mile 1983 Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance Coupe w/the 4100 HT. Just about brand new. Stayed loyal w/the maintenance including coolant tabs etc. etc.. I babied that car. Had the worst luck w/that 4.1 Hook & Tow engine. Twice a month it was always something breaking down and lacked power getting on Interstates & Highways. I was so pissed. Stay out of the passing lanes. Sold it after 1 year, went to Lincoln and never looked back.

I only sell my classics on a site called Bring a Trailer. So I market them HERE on KZbin and sell them on BAT. I suppose you haven't followed long enough. I typically share the link once the auction goes live. If you want to see what I sell of my site, here it is....
