My son-in-law's grandmother bought one of these in 2006 for $5k from one of her friends who couldn't drive due to old age. The Caddy only had 16k miles & still smelled new. I remember her pulling into my driveway & at first glance I thought you could spend all day washing & vacuuming that beast. She had quite a sense of humor & said she wanted something that if she got into an accident she didn't want to feel the impact until the next day.

Truly one of the best modern Cadillacs ever made, I was very lucky enough to test drive one of these as a 20 yr old when they were brand new (because my friend's dad took pictures of the cars for the newspaper section and always got to borrow new cars for the weekend), and it was an absolute rocket ship compared to most other cars at the time, even the Camaros and mustangs most of us drove. With just real All-American horsepower from that Corvette V8 , no weird hybrid or turbo or supercharging or complications, just raw power. We drove that thing flat out at top speed on the wide interstates and it felt exactly the same at its top speed as it did at 60, and when it hit its limiter it was like a dog being yanked back on the leash it was good for another 40-50 mph miles per hour at least. It wasn't even close to out of breath. (It was limited because of the comfort tires not because of any lack of safety or power.) At the same time looking like a presidential limousine with room and comfort that absolutely no truck or foreign car even comes close to matching except maybe the newer rolls-royces. These cars have a place in society and of course you would modernize The styling and some other key components but the basic formula of a nice large comfortable car, in versions both for the regular guy as well as those that can afford a lot of luxury absolutely have a place in society especially as America is just getting older and older and climbing in and out of those silly jacked-up trucks will just not be an option for many for much longer. Now in my forties, I wish I had a modern version of this car to aspire to because I have zero interest of buying a fancy suburban with a garish iversized Cadillac emblem jammed on the grille that is very difficult to maneuver, probably wouldn't fit in my garage and basically looks like ninety-nine percent of the other boxes out there. There should always be a Fleetwood and Continental no matter what.

Mine had a cell phone mounted on a floor stalk. I'd end up owning a whole bunch of the big caddies and drove them all over the country. I still have the last of the DTS platinum in white diamond with the cream and chocolate interior. I baby it since it's discontinued. CT6 Blackwing is my final Cadillac. I don't ever want an SUV and the 4 and 5 are too small. I've been a Cadillac guy nearly my entire life, and now I'm headed to BMW for that polarizing i7.

I was really disappointed when Cadillac discontinue this car. It was obviously due to low sales even though it did have a few years run, as far as this generation. But the problem was they let the previous generation body style go on too long, even long after Lincoln had redesign the town car back in early 1990. So by then a lot of people had already fallen in love with the new Lincoln Town car, and Cadillac basically showed up too late to the party with this one. But this generation and body style was basically the last real Cadillac with the exception of the DeVille.

Great job on the video. I enjoyed your enthusiasm for a truly great car. I also love that '96 Caddy...the epitome of luxury. My first Cadillac was a 1979 Coupe de Ville in Opera window, Landau roof, burled walnut interior trim. I enjoyed that car immensely and acquired it when I was a young driver. It too had the fiber optics indicators on the front and the cornering lamps, which are so handy when making a turn. Whose brilliant idea was it to do away with those? The drop-down license plate in the back to conceal the fuel intake was also a great idea. I currently own a low milage 2014 Cadillac XTS which is a luxury sedan. Very elegant and includes high tech and interior/exterior lighting at night that is so classy. A wonderful car but frankly it doesn't ride as smoothly as my previous Cadillacs. Still, I'm committed to owning this iconic brand. I learned the secret long ago that luxury cars tend to depreciate faster than other vehicles because the owners who buy new like to trade every year or two. So I have typically purchased a 2 or 3 year old car and saved a bunch of money. My present 2014 is showroom condition and frankly, having driven newer models I like my better. They seem to have downgraded them in the past several years while making them look more like SUVs... I wish they'd get back to more traditional styling.

I own two of these and they offer an incredible ride; certainly the best I’ve ever experienced. They are really smooth, solid, quiet, and have ample power and even more ample space and comfort. The only thing I would improve is the steering as, though still easy, it is not the super over-boosted one-fingered steering you would have gotten in previous Fleetwoods. These are truly excellent cars, though, with top-notch classy styling that is reminiscent of a rich man in a fine tuxedo. I do disagree with two things you mentioned, one good, one bad. The key fob is plastic, but it is actually quite robust. I’ve had the thing in and out of my pocket for nearly 20 years with no problems. The one for a Grand Marquis I have had the loop part that holds to the ring crack and will occasionally activate the trunk or alarm if I move the wrong way, and the a Caddy one is way better. The other thing is that the glove box is not big, but actually barely adequate. In other Fleetwoods I have, they are a good size. Despite the huge dash in these years, only the bottom part is used and it barely holds its own manual, let alone much else. Besides that, I find your review spot on! Thank you for sharing this fantastic vehicle with us.

That's when I was informed the transmission was out of it. They sent someone to pick me up and gave me a brand new Fleetwood to drive to PA. It drove like an oversized cloud.

Ahhh, this one takes me back to my days working as a driver for a limo company in the suburbs of NYC. While most of the cars the company had were Lincolns, they did have a few Cadillacs like this one, I guess to remember the cars that the owner built his business with. I love these Fleetwoods as I think they represent a time when Cadillac still stood for luxury, comfort and style which seems to be missing in their current cars which are more focused on performance for younger buyers.

20:35 The footrests for the Fleetwood were discontinued halfway through the 1977 model year, because the downsized Fleetwood shared its 121.5" wheelbase with the Devilles and no longer had the extra 3" of legroom offered by Fleetwoods from 1965 through 1976. But, the 1993 Fleetwood, while retaining the 121.5" wheelbase of the previous year, had the firewall 2.5" closer to the front wheels; enabled by the discontinuation of the last "big block" Cadillac engine for 1982 ('85 for the limousine). So, for the first time since 1976, the RWD Fleetwood had enough legroom to justify the footrests, at least for smaller passengers. I'll bet some owners added them.

I had a 95 in white on blue, 31,000 1 owner miles. My favorite 90’s vehicle along with the Buick Roadmaster Collector’s Edition which I bought from the widow of the original owner. 22K miles in 2016 when I bought it, black on maroon w/maroon pin stripes. 42K miles now. That caddy is the perfect color combo, elegant on elegant. I love white but black highlights the chrome more and normally I like beige interiors but these cars interiors in beige fade and discolor a little so you end up with 3 colors inside.

They have a really nice one of these at my local car museum, the Martin Auto museum in Phoenix. It shares a lot of the same parts as my 1994 Corvette! Same engine, same steering wheel, same turn signal stalk, same sun visors, etc etc. . .

I always liked these cars. True luxury of tge 90s. I own it's cousin a 96 Impala ss, also a great car. I was recently in Arizona. We went to Martin Auto Museum and they have a Fleetwood there with 27 miles on it.

I once owned a 1995 Cadillac Fleetwood in white with a light beige interior and a white vinyl top. It was a beautiful car. The engine was more powerful than a 260 HP engine should have been. I think it was the 330 pounds of torque that gave it an extra zing. The car you reviewed looks like it has a broken self-leveling rear-end motor judging from the height of the rear end. Mine broke and had to be replaced so, I know how high the rear should be. Otherwise, it is a gorgeous car. Also, if you turn off the traction control, you will be able to leave a 15-foot strip of rubber behind.

LT1 is a great motor, although Mitsubishi long time ago discontinued critical microchip used in spark distributor, so in case of a failure it's either looking for NOS part for well more than a thousand bucks, or change the distributor hidden beneath the water pump every 1-2 seasons with it prone to failure in most unsuitable moment

Thanks for this fantastic video. To be honest, after the 1976 Fleetwoods I had lost interest in the Fleetwood line. Everything that followed seemed like rubbish. UNTIL THIS YEAR! Now I'm on the hunt for one of these beauties. Just never thought to look at this Fleetwood line after '76 name anymore.

Beautiful Brougham, i like the 1992 and older big box Brougham the best. This Brougham has way less interior chrome.
