I used to chauffeur my friend around in my dad's Fleetwood Brougham...with all the luxury refinements you would expect. You drive a Cadillac with poise and pride. Nothing rides like a Caddie.

[@samanthab1923]

That's funny, I remember my mom saying that after driving nothing but station wagons her entire life. Got the first in 78. Coupe de Ville.

[@blainederouen9977]

You are right, nothing rode like a Cadillac. They had a very firm ride. The Lincolns had a much better and smoother ride than any Cadillac i've ever ridden in.

[@chrisallen7911]

I want them to bring back some of the long low magnificent body styles. Look at that 1957 Eldorado and you gasp because it is so magnificent. The 1988-89 Brougham had the most luxurious interior of any Cadillac I have ever seen. Walnut trim, buttoned leather seats that felt like clouds, opera lights everywhere and magnificent spoke wheels and front grill. I cried and cried when my parents traded it in. I drive a CTS today and it is like riding in a wagon compared to past Cadillac's. They have traded luxury for sport and technology. Give me back beauty, size and luxury anyday.

I have my parents 58 cadillac they bought in 1960, from a Doctor friend. I was 1 year old.. Mom signed it over to me in 1982. I was 23.

4:15 "The tail fins took off quickly"... (Unintended word picture.) In fact, Cadillac is such a standard of excellence that it has been transplanted into other discussions such as "Cadillac health plans". I LOL'd the first time I saw the Seville in the late 70s however. It had an oddly-shaped trunk meant to improve gas mileage but always looked to me like a dog with its tail tucked between its legs. A Caddy in the front - a whipped dog in the back.

[@overworlder]

The original was the best

[@tomcarlson3913]

Ah, the bustle back Seville. The way I understand it that trunk profile was not for aerodynamics but rather for neoclassical styling. Cars of the 1920's had a squared off back with a literal trunk (as in pirate chest) on the back. The Seville was an 80's car trying to do a modern take on a 20's cars trunk.

Cruising down the road in style and comfort in every aspect with these cars. 472 engine is my favorite but the 1966 De Ville with 429 engine was also a rugged machine.

Cadillac's reputation suffered during the 80's when they put out some inferior products like the much maligned Cimarron.

At one time I had both a 1962 Sedan de Ville and a 1974 Coupe de Ville

Its unfortunate that today's Cadillacs don't have the style and luxury that were standard in past years. I have bought 3 of them over the years and it seems to me that in successive years each has lost of the past plusses. Today's cars look like boxes with wheels. Whatever happened to "body by Fisher". ???
