1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham! LT-1, RWD, full frame. (No it is not a Northstar)

[@MostlyBuicks]

The car featured in the video is a 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham in Calypso Green Metallic, last of the RWD, full frame, V8 full sized luxury Cadillacs, a D-body, 10" larger than its B-Body cousins, the Buick Roadmaster and Chevrolet Caprice and Impala SS. Could be yours for $32,000.

[@specialtymotorcars]

You can tell how fresh this car is by the crispness of the lenses especially the reverse lights. Absolutely stunning combination! Enjoy it

It's funny seeing historic plates on a '96, man I'm getting old!

[@ChevyBM]

That Fleetwood Brougham is a stunning example of these cars, holy crap that is beautiful! It is funny how different one of these feel compared to the Chevy Caprice, Buick Roadmaster or the Olds Custom Cruiser. The LT1 motor really lived these cars up compared to the TBI motors they had before, it is sad that they quit producing these in 96, they could have gone long into the 2000's.

[@MostlyBuicks]

The 5 1/2" longer wheelbase, the 10" longer body and the extra sound deadening goes a long way towards a more luxurious ride.

[@gsczr1]

One of my all time favorite Cadillacs. When I was growing up in the sixties, Caddy's were all my parents would drive. I currently own a, 2019 Cadillac CT6-V BLACKWING. it's a fantastic car. Back to your Fleetwood. I worked for GM for 38 years. During a tour at GM's Warren Tech Center back in the eighties I would walk the grounds and go over to the complex where GM would do reliability testing. I saw this car about a year before it was introduced. They had a prototype on a platform that was shaking the hell out of the car. I said to myself, now that's an automobile. I agree that this was the last true Full Frame Full Size Cadillac. It looks the way a Cadillac should and drives like a Cadillac should. I'm so glad that GM finally put the LT-1 V8 in their full size cars. What a huge difference that made in the cars performance. I had one for a company car. I just loved it. My wife and I would just take impromptu road trips because it was such an amazing car on the highway. I also won a few stop light drag races. It surprised a lot of so called sport car owners. The color of your car really shows off it's lines. Its a keeper for sure. Thanks for the video. Cheers!!!

[@TheMW2informer]

I bet that CT6 rides a lot better than even a perfect Fleetwood would. It’s also just as “full size” as the fleetwood.

[@gsczr1]

@@TheMW2informer, I don't think you can really compare the CT6 V with the Fleetwood. The CT6 V has an advantage in 20 + years of technology. The Magnetic Dampeners (developed by GM) give you your cake and eat it too. You can set the suspension from touring to track. The CT6 V also has 550 HP compared to 260 HP for the Fleetwood. Still the Fleetwood has a lot of character. To the old guard that grew up in the fifties and sixties the 96 Fleetwood was what a full size Cadillac should be. There is a You Tube channel called Throttle house. The hosts test drive performance cars. One of them races. They tested a CT6 V and the race car driver said that he couldn't help but compare the CT6 V to a BMW M4 instead of other full size European makes. He said the Caddy was the best handling full size car he had ever driven. People who grew up with full frame full size Cadillacs might find it difficult to relate to the newest Caddies. Besides (except for the CT4 & CT5) all Cadillacs are either Crossovers or SUV's now. How the world has changed. Cheers!!!

[@paulstarnes2732]

I own a couple Roadmasters. Sedan and wagon. Best cars I ever owned. Reliable, comfortable, and total torquemonsters. I surprise cars at the light all the time. The funniest ones are mid 80's Camaros. I've never had one come close. I put Cooper Cobra Radial GT's on the sedan, as I could no longer get whitewalls in that size. Takes a bit of the old man smell off of it! Seriously the most comfortable hwy cruiser I have ever driven.

[@RaufAbasquliyev]

​@@gsczr1the biggest problem with today's cars (including Cadillacs) is that there is not enough space for the rear passengers. And in some models, there are only 2 seats there. Meanwhile, this Fleetwood was a 6 passenger vehicle, so you could take all your family on a long trip in it. Just watched the other day a review of the brand new Mercedes-Benz CLE convertible, and the reviewer said that this car is actually for 2 people since it's extremely uncomfortable to sit on those 2 back seats. Despite this huge disadvantage, it's still called "luxurious", and they charge you an arm and a leg for it. ;) Back then there were Eldorado convertibles that were comfortable, quiet and spacious - both in the front and in the back - and they were 6 passenger cars as well. Luxury is not only about premium materials or high speed, but also about consumer satisfaction. Even in a brand new Rolls-Royce Spectre you can't take your wife and 3 kids on a trip, because it's only a 4 passenger car. 🤦

Had a 95 non brougham with factory sunroof, no carriage top. Honest to God the best vehicle I've ever owned (I've personally owned 40 cars in my life, including a v12 Beemer, classics, newer lux imports), it just truly took the cake. Smooth ride, straight line acceleration, easy to work on (mostly), stone reliable (mostly) and in my opinion, great gas mileage for the size and performance (16-17 city, 25 highway). Anyone reading this that has the opportunity to acquire one, don't hesitate, just do it. Wish I never sold mine. Huge regret.

[@goldendawn7]

Edit; the biggest difference between this drive train and the impala ss was the impala had a hotter rear end, which was offered as an option on the fleetwood, dubbed the towing package (back when they offered tow packages on sedans lol). You find one with this option, jump on it.

[@MostlyBuicks]

@@goldendawn7 I had a 1995 and a 1996 with the 4VP towing package 3:42 gears. (in 1994 they briefly offered the V92 towing package on these). I actually prefer the 2:93 gears.

The last Fleetwood and it looks like a tribute to this model over the last decades, there is something special about this car. I remember when I was 15 years old and I saw this car on a street for the first time, black and shiny I could hardly keep my emotions. And I live in Ukraine, the car was like an UFO. My friends couldnt understand my excitement. It was in 1996. My absolute dream car. No car looks like this and this green colour is fantastic.

[@MostlyBuicks]

Nice car! I’m on my third 1995 Brougham. The first two were Calypso Green. I would definitely recommend tinting the windows as these interiors are easily sun damaged. I’m sure you’ve heard this a million times, but when you’re ready to sell, let me know.

[@MostlyBuicks]

Yes, I will tint the windows. I have had 1 1994, 1 1995 and this is my third 1996. My 1995 had the V4P option and even being a Brougham, it had the vinyl top delete option. If I had my way, no car would have a vinyl top. In my opinion they just add nothing to the lines and looks of a car. BTW one of my previous 1996s had the V4P option as well. The real plus on those is the more heavy duty transmission and higher cooling capacity. I can live without the 3:42 rear end ratio though. The 2:93 ratio gives enough "grunt". Heck, even my 1994 Roadmaster Limited with a 2:56 rear has plenty of grunt.

I have had cars from the 50's, 60's, 70s. I totally skipped cars after 1976 through 1993. The late 70's and the 80's generally sucked when it comes to cars (great for music though). Even when new you just do not see these Fleetwoods in AZ. They tend to go to Chicago, Boston, New York and Dallas, and when owners retire to Florida. Here in AZ plenty of DeVilles, Sevilles and even Eldorados from the 90's though.

[@patcurrie9888]

Great 96 Fleetwood. Yes, it was the end of the line for Roadmaster, Caprice and Fleetwood, V8 rear drive full frame. Too bad, heck we even went thru another sad time in auto industry, the demise of V6 sedans! Honda killed off V6 Accord in 2018, Buick axed theirs in 2019 with VW, Chevy and Caddy Feb 2020 and Toyota recently announced Avalon being cancelled, so no more V6 Camrys either. I scooped up a last Gen V6 Impala in 2019 before they started cutting back on options for last 1/2 yr. Neat feature of your 96 is last year for glass headlights (I had a 96 Buick Ultra with glass headlights).

[@MostlyBuicks]

GM introduced the 2 door hardtop in 1949 and discontinued that body style after 1972. They introduced the 4 door hard top in 1955 and discontinued that body style after 1976. Wouldn't it be fantastic if GM reintroduced these body styles the same time they brought back the convertible in 1982? Man I would LOVE a 1994 Buick Roadmaster Limited two door pillarless coupe without the door frames (two door hardtop). Yes, it is a lowdown dirty shame that sedans and coupes are falling by the wayside along with V8s and even V6s. They are opting for turbo-charged 4 cylinders. Then comes the electric cars that burn fuel oil, coal or natural gas remotely. Even though I have owned otherwise, I prefer V8 RWD American cars. And my first preference for body style is 2 door hardtop, followed by 4 door hardtop, then two door coupe, and lastly 4 door sedan. (Convertibles are simply for pleasure drives).

I do not understand the horror stories about big cars in the 60s and 70s getting 10mpg. I have a video of a 1976 Sedan DeVille that got 12mpg around town and 16mpg on the freeway at 80mph. I have another video of a 1970 Electra that gets`14 town and 17 mpg on the highway. I have owned 83 cars in my life and I calculate every tankful.

[@MostlyBuicks]

Mechanically speaking, very little problems I have encountered. The clips that hold on the lower trim break and mostly the rear quarter trim can fly off if they do. I guess some people have trouble with the rear most exhaust manifold bolts breaking. The knee bolster panel under the steering wheel tabs often break if you remove the panel. The fender apron extensions just behind the front bumper is made of very brittle plastic and are often cracked or missing completely. For some reason the Roadmasters have a better type of plastic there. The rub strips are impossible to find replacements for. Fortunately the 4 fender chrome spears that crinkle have aftermarket aluminum and stainless replacements to the tune of $400-$600 a set.

My wife had one of these as a stretched fleetwood limited, northstar engine 79k or something similar it drank gas but had fold out air line style trays in the backseat. Great car that got ruined by salty roads.

[@detonater1348]

Fleetwood with a northstar?

[@MostlyBuicks]

@@detonater1348 In 1999 they made a stretch DeVille and called it a Fleetwood. It was FWD with a Northstar.

[@Fractal_blip]

@@MostlyBuicks thats the one! My ladies grandmother got it from a funeral home in butler, pa. They had to get rid of it, a true mechanics car imo.

[@MostlyBuicks]

@@Fractal_blip I lucked out so hard. I owned 6 NorthStar cars, not a one blew a head gasket. All but one leaked oil though. The one (1996 Deville) that didn't leak oil went to my son-in-law. When he sold it, it had well over 200K miles on it. I had 4 98-99 Aurora with the Autobahn option and a 2001 Eldorado ETC. That ETC was FAST and got well over 25 mpg on the highway. In fact all the Northstars I had got very good fuel mileage. My son-in-law now has one of my favorite cars I have ever owned. A 1994 Roadmaster Limited with cloth interior (rare for a Limited) and the V92 tow option.

[@Birdmane79]

The car you’re talking about is nothing like this. Just a desperate attempt of a fleetwood with a Northstar

[@exceptionallife4768]

94-95 were the last years of real quality gm cars.. I had a Bonneville sse that was the one last bad ass gm cars that were built.. quality style and finish

[@markbehr88]

Cool. I uploaded a video on my white one. I love the colour of yours.

[@adamhayden5152]

Anyone who knows anything about Cadillacs know it has the venerable lt1 v8 detuned.

[@MostlyBuicks]

Absolutely. Corvette has 4-bolt mains, aluminum heads, hotter cam, stronger valve sprints. 300 hp at 5000 RPM, 340 lbs-ft torque at 4000 RPM. Fleetwood, Roadmaster, Caprice has iron heads milder cam. 260 hp at 5000 RPM torque 335 lbs-ft at 2400 RPM and 330 lbs-ft at 3200 RPM--a nice flat torque curve to move that mass.

[@04dram04]

I miss the floating soft ride of these older cadillacs

[@billbowers268]

It's your car but I would put a dash cover to save it from cracking . I had a 94 yours is beautiful .

[@MostlyBuicks]

It is garaged and seldom driven. Yes that huge dash pad is like a hotplate when the sun hits it.

[@billbowers268]

@@MostlyBuicks I miss mine . It got totaled .

[@CesarGarcia-gb7sp]

Still for sale

[@MostlyBuicks]

This car is not currently offered for sale. However, my 1970 Electra Convertible is. Check out the video on my channel.

[@cg8005]

Wow!!! At least grab NOS rear shocks and the chrome side moldings if they still exist. I have a gray ‘85 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz and by the time I acquired it in 2010, all the NOS rear shocks (Delco), opera lamps and windshield moldings were long gone. You’re going to also have a hell of a time finding 235/70 R15 whitewalls. I never cared for the Vogue gold stripes but Diamondback Tire will customize some whitewalls for you for about $300 a pop. GOOD LUCK!!!

[@MostlyBuicks]

I much prefer 235/75 R15 tires on my full sized GM cars.

[@cardinaloflannagancr8929]

Great video awesome car I still want to get one of those. Wish I done so when they were easier to find in good order like this. I test drove one of the roadmasters i want to say in 95 great car. I agree Buicks usually don't and didn't get the attention they deserve. That fender extender had a 10/6/08 sticker on it though.

[@MostlyBuicks]

Oh. I did not notice. Just went out and looked again. Both sides have been replaced. The associated parts (like the wind deflectors that attach to these extensions) do not have stickers. I guess the originals started cracking. Weird thing is Roadmaster's equivalent parts are made from a different kind of plastic that does not deteriorate so readily.

[@MostlyBuicks]

Yeah all the other GM divisions have a great following. I had a 1963 Wildcat two door hardtop, loaded, buckets, A/C power windows etc. It was the Rose Mist Poly. I called it the Pink Panther. EVERYONE thought it was an Impala, Oldsmobile or even a Pontiac. Sure Chevys are popular because that is all most people could afford back in the day. Cadillacs are famous because of their top dog luxury reputation. Olds had the 442, Pontiac the GTO, but not until recently have people discovered the Buick GranSport. I will take a Buick over any of them, generally speaking.

[@marcuskey6667]

I currently own a 2005 STS which are Rear Wheel Drive also!

[@MostlyBuicks]

Yes, Cadillac made other RWD cars since 1996. But they did not make full frame cars after 1996. My statement referred to RWD, full frame, V8.

[@Daniellopez-tx5xq]

Awesome Cadillac Fleetwood those cars Were mostly built in Arlington Texas its ashame that GM gave this platform the axe Gms reason was that those cars were no longer marketable plus the sun and truck craze was the main focus

[@luish777]

Brother had one in champagne color freaking beautiful car and the motor had some punch

[@MostlyBuicks]

I had that color in a 1995 with the V4P package. IT WAS FAST with the 3:42 gear ratio. I sold it because I could not get the smoker's stench out of it.

[@eddylopez797]

Hi Sr. Will you sale me your Cadillac or trade for a 1982 Cadillac DeVille

[@tomsilven]

Dream car.
