My Cheap Cadillac Fleetwood has Cooling System Issues + NEW TIRES!

Randy, just keep the car. It's not going to hurt you to hold onto one car. Don't feel guilty for keeping the car.

You should have sell it for about $5,900 because it's not that worth it cuz you just put a s*** ton of money on

Some of these characters, are not talking the same kind of money and effort, to restore the cars to their glory days, saling car as is with issues, it's refreshing to see your channel do the opposite. Nice going.

[@caddieman4ever]

Definitely keep her, low miles, previously owned by a senior, very good condition. I know you would take care of her the right way. Selling her you don't know if the buyer has that same car caring like you do. As a car lover, I wouldn't sell her. I always wanted that generation Fleetwood. I had a 1991 Cadillac Deville Touring Sedan, and a 1996 Cadillac Sedan Deville. She's basically a living room on wheels, a sofa in the front and back. Putting the white walls on, and the maintenance you doing just put a smile on my face. 😊

[@jacquesmontague2477]

Keep it and use it to commute to Terre Haute when you don't need a truck, you'll get comfort, and fairly reasonable gas mileage for what it is.

[@jonathanbowles2577]

Good afternoon Sir. You have just answered your own question. With out a doubt, You should keep this Gorgeous and Extremely Beautiful American Cadillac. You have put so much time and Effort into transforming this Wonderful car. Enjoy driving her my friend. 😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍

[@teresanewcomb442]

Robert here, Randy keep this beauty. I had a neighbor who went to Germany for 9 years, I brought it back to life, mouse nest not rats, air conditioning problem, tires needed replaced, radiator flushed, wash and waxed....replaced battery, detailed engine & interior. Have it today, head turner today. Wouldn't part with this car, handing it down to my kids, never to be sold. Kids have many names for this unbelievable looking treasure. My throne has wheels, white walls too.1996 Fleetwood B. too, 71,100 miles, changed oil too. But so comfortable 😌, best American built Caddy I've driven & same white but pearl, chrome & gold trim!!!

[@jamesmcdonald3113]

Well Randy, I would say keep it, but I also think you should keep all these goodies lol. I'm a buyer, not a seller and I do realize we can't hold on to everything. But definitely try to keep that big old caddy as long as you can. I Love that car. True American full size cars are hard to find these days, especially being up in Michigan

[@cliffordkinnear9705]

The Hankook Whitewalls are perfect! For the thermostat housing and gasket ALWAYS use Permatex #2 rtv. It's non-hardening, exactly the type of rtv for cooling systems because of the cold-hot cycles of the radiator/water pump/thermostat and housing. That's good you flushed out all that rusty water crap nasties. With new coolant you'll have excellent freeze protection.

[@Shotbymic_2]

randy living the life he wants. I can tell this is your love man. the passion is incredible.

[@johnbloemendal7593]

I don't get why people complain! If you don't like what Randy is doing you don't have to watch!!🙄 Your awesome Randy!

[@williamcochell9889]

Hey Randy, great post! Never miss one! You’re the best! I think the Mustang needs to go on the power tour! I think you should keep the Allante and the Mustang! I really love the Aston Martin, but it may be too High maintenance! Also, love the white walls on the caddy!

[@davidluciemable3778]

This is my attainable dream car, for YEARS I’ve wanted one in that exact configuration. This makes me so happy to see it getting some well-deserved love. My goodness, I’d part with my Park Avenue Ultra to get one half as nice.

[@johnguerard1355]

I love this car so much. Could use the windows tinted, but other than that it's perfect. It would be like winning the lottery to get a car like this.

[@wesleyflatt1993]

I think it's a good idea to get rid of the Aston Martin, and you're right. It's waaaaaay too expensive maintenance wise. Keep the Caddy though! It's super nice, and you'll be ridin' in style.

[@johnpezzullo9644]

Please Keep the Caddy Randy, she is BEAUTIFUL and can be detailed after you fix all the issues. These were GREAT Cars. !!!

[@Ulford]

Randy, please keep this car. I think that this car is one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

[@SouthsideKidd550]

Randy, please keep this car! This is a true Cadillac. Last of them. You have a very good clean example. Detail it, paint the roof and tint the windows (20%). Keep this car and let it be your Sunday car, "Dap Daddy" car and also I think this would be a good car for you and MWM to travel in when y'all visit local auction yards. Hell, drive it to funerals and weddings too. It's also a great car to ride the family in on a few evening cruises when y'all get bored at home.

[@scottlambert9008]

Randy keep that Cadillac around that thing is timeless

[@paulmckinney6163]

I feel your pain. Lost my front tire on the way to the tire shop yesterday. Hit something in the road on my way home one night but she didn't go flat. The tire shop is only 5 minutes from the house, so I didn't bother with the spare. Made it 3 blocks away from the shop before it burst.

[@PROUD_CANADIAN78]

Hey Randy the Cady is looking sweet, I think if you tinted the windows it will make the white color and white wall tires POP even more and make it an even better cruiser in the summer not having to worry about the Sun heat inside the car.

[@JayH237]

Like I mentioned about the Citation on another video, if certain cars make you happy and you're enjoying them keep them around for a bit and have fun with them. You have many other vehicles rotating through for content. If you're attached to a few keep them for a bit, months, maybe a year, no shame in having something you like! Heck, even if you do additional work to them there's more content to put up. It's not always about the money you have in them if you like the vehicle.

[@JuniorFan08]

Totally agree with you on the white walls. They make a huge difference in the way the Caddy looks. I personally hate black walls and would have whites on everything I owned if I could get them in the right size. I put 4 Hancooks on my '72 LTD a couple of years ago but when I needed new whites for my '71 LeSabre last year, I bought some Nexin (Nexon?) white walls off Amazon. The LeSabre had some Generals on it from 2001, so I got 21 years out of them. LOL! - Yeah, I know, but I hadn't driven the Buick more than 500 miles in the last 10 years and not more than 7 miles from home - just to the marina where I found non-ethanol gas. It needs some mechanical work so I just run it enough to keep things lubricated.

[@heartofdixie67]

Use GoJo Hand Cleaner with Lanolin and a soft brush to loosen up and clean the vinyl top ! You will be amazed at how easy and clean it will be ! I did it on my 1975 Lincoln Mark IV and it was like NEW !!! Rinse with power washing !!! You might not need to have it dyed at all !!!

[@lnegarage]

I understand wanting new cars for content. However, the SEMA Stang is a special car and one of a kind. That's the one you keep. Even if you can't drive it all the time. You might have to put it away and store it every so often. But, I gaurantee every time you take it for a spin you will be thankful you held on it. It is truly a collectors car.

[@locotrucker46]

The Fleetwood is such a nice car and you put so much time and money into it I think you should keep it it's a really nice car

[@rockb]

Pleasy keep the Fleetwood, these white walls are looking so beautiful on this car

[@maverickflint1991]

So sorry you got a flat. Hope the new ones will make her ride better.😊👍

[@Jon_2218]

Definitely keep the Brougham, it's an exceptionally nice car. That Cadillac would be a awesome summer time car for family trips. PS, really enjoy when you go out to AAR Headquarters and do some wrenching.

[@turbolover777]

Keep it! It's a great Sunday toy... enjoy the ride 🙂. More power!!!

[@RandyRote]

I do enjoy the wrenching. It's always good to see what's done after you've picked something from the walk-arounds.

[@kevindoxey]

That is one beautiful Cadillac!! The white walls on the cadillac rims make the car. Can't wait to see it detailed and I hope you keep it and enjoy the ride! They are getting hard to find these days!

[@renrut1613]

Keep the car Randy it’s a true master piece and there isn’t alot of those around. Love to see you do the serpentine belt too.

[@billbowers268]

If you want to make that front seat soft again.! D&L hand cleaner works great because of the lanolin. Use a Terry applicator work it into leather and buff it off with micro fiber towel . You will feel the difference. The lanolin moisturizes the leather . This was recommended by a antique car upolsterer.

[@bluesmobil-gunnar]

Still think it would make a nice power tour car - you'll get to drive in comfort while the other KZbinr's suffer. Plus the trunk fits whatever you need to bring. Either way it's a keeper as actually they don't make them like that anymore.

[@richardbarragan6781]

That Caddy is so sweet, Randy keep that car in a few years the value will go up, that is a beauty.

[@commonsence1129]

Love the look of the Cadillac with white wall tires. I would keep it and use it for the road trip.

[@deanabbott1167]

Oh God. Keep that Caddy. I have always dreamed of having one like that. Once you have it all cleaned up you will live it even more.

[@timothykraus7654]

Those white walls make the Cadillac look prime ! Back to the real style and grace of that beauty !

[@nickdeluca7742]

Randy, take a hockey puck and put it in the hole in the intake tract created by removing "home plate." You'll get a little sound from the intake, and a small bump in power/mileage.....

[@TheDutchTexan]

Yup, she’s looking sharp with the whitewalls!

[@jasonsaxon2462]

I think you should keep it, then you take it on power tour while Mike drives the Allante. Seeing these on power tour would be awesome.

[@countryguyusa273]

Keep it Randy. Comfortable car to drive back & forth to IN with lots of room. GREAT vid too!!

[@npvj5687]

I love this white battle ship !!! It’s the ultimate family limousine.

[@rickblanchette]

Keep the Bro-Ham as your daily and Indiana trips. Very comfortable, economical to own and drive. Heck, you can even put a hitch on it and pull your trailer.

[@billbowers268]

Opti spark is expensive . Just before my Brougham got totaled it got its 100,000 mile tune-up which was 1,200 $ at the time .

[@billbowers268]

It looks great Randy ! I agree with your detail shop die it ! I loved my Brougham just the right amount of power .

[@rafaelcervantes5490]

Keep it you will not regret it. I have a 94 Cadillac fleetwood same color same interior and I just love it

[@jerrydash5433]

[@MostlyBuicks]

I always take a Fleetwood HVAC and a Roadmaster HVAC control and hybrid them to gain more manual override control. I can direct the heat or A/C flow anywhere I want to.

Randy I would take skirts off and clean those levers up before they rust away.

[@Ghostcotton]

Randy my dude ,Listen brother DO NOT sell that caddy for anything below 10k . Do a little research these cars are only going to appreciate. Love the content. Keep doin you my friend.🤘🏼

[@RoadhogRNA]

Great Vid. Randy, I can see how much you enjoy the 96 Caddy and i agree i had one and those are Classic Caddys full frame and a ride that the now ones can only think about. I hope you keep it and if you don't you will have plenty of buyers. (ME included)!!!

[@putsipa]

if the heater still does funny things, checkout the blend door actuator behind glovebox they go bad. I have 1994 dark blue fleetwood, sweet car!

[@dvddmc]

Sweet car, dialed in and new white walls. Very nice, should bring a pretty penny when detailed.

Keep the Cadi Randy. The Cadi looks good on you. 😎😎👍👍Nothing feels the comfort of a old Cadi 👏👏

[@piris2007]

Keep it Randy! You get much much more from it, than if you were to sell it. Where are you going to find comfort like that anymore?

[@dcpoolsvc]

Keep the car! Hard to find something like this these days and cheap to keep up is a plus. The Mustang can go.

[@edwardglowacki4495]

As you said you’ll be lucky to break even. Is it better to break even than lose , of course. You are enjoying the car and it’s a classic ride with surprisingly decent gas mileage. Clean up the profitable cars and the loss leaders and go from there . Ride the Caddy in style until you’re done with it.

[@bk_goatkim679]

You always put out great car content! Love watching you my good sir Randy! Hope all is having a nice day! ❤

[@dave3657]

I like Tires plus, and I like Discount Tire, had good luck with both. Looks like a learning point for the tech though. They should always ask you which side is out. Years ago I had tires put on and the place had raised letters on one side and black wall on the other side. 😂

[@jimdavis3913]

Tires make big difference looks good.

[@cigarsgunsanddiesel8032]

I'm honestly surprised your hand didn't bump those skirt latches when you were on the roadside trying to get the blown tire off! Glad you know now! Hope you keep her! Don't feel bad about the $1200 for Vogues... I spent $1200 on Michelins for my damn Subaru!!! 😒😒Expensive but great tires!

[@charliekretschmar2058]

Keep the Seville it will not take much more for you to keep it up like you have sead you can get parts any ware and cheep and it is a boat good riding and not bad on gas

[@ppal19812]

I'd keep it. You got it cheap, everything is good with it. Fresh tires, coolant, and oil. Drive it and enjoy it! They don't make em like that anymore.

[@crystal.martian3322]

Hey randy long time fan, first time commenter Keep the cadillac fleetwood! Seeing you post about this caddy always has me excited! I have a 92 buick roadmaster so i know how you feel with the road comfort (:

[@bigmountain7561]

My 79 Coupe deVille had 235 70r15 M+S and I used private label. I think they were Power Kings. Except for the Opti Spark which is a pain in the but that’s a keeper. You want to go long distance that’s the car. They’re great second cars and can last a long time.

[@ShawnT_1JZ]

always love seeing that flatbed tow truck

[@joehomanick]

Hey randy you are gonna want to fill the heater core with C-L-R. Calcium lime rust . Let it sit a few hours. Then use a air compressor to blow out the c-l-r. Then flush and blow out with air and water back and forth. You were so close you. Might as well have changed the water pump. The fins might be missing or rotted ". Worst case the radiator is plugged at the bottom or half way .

[@Danzilly]

Power tour! The Fleetwood! Randy!

[@geraldsmith9540]

Ok Randy sir, if you need to hear an honest comment, here it is. Sell them all including the Sema Mustang but keep the Fleetwood. You really have a thing for it and really talk a lot about it. Clean house and start over with the knack you have for finding these cars and you’ll have content till we’re old and gray!!! 🤣 Finish them up and let everyone else enjoy them and you enjoy your Fleetwood. In the end you have to decide brother. Can’t wait to see what your decision will be. 👍😁

[@TheKorysmith]

[@brianleclerc1593]

See if Anthony from Specialty Motor Cars in New Hampshire wants it. These are right up his alley.

Keep the Fleetwood (cheap to maintain, parts available, & comfy ride for the family), sell the other Caddy, take the SEMA 'Stang on the Power Tour then put it up for sale.

[@billbowers268]

Looks awesome Randy ! Now all it needs is dye the roof I did mine and it looked awesome.

[@haskellburks]

Hello Randy. The Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham is a good car. Hopefully you'll get the cooling system fixed.

[@TX1836]

I say keep the Flletwood it is a grat car. When I was younger I had a 96 Caprice with the police package it was a poor mans Impala SS. That car was a blast to drive, and I wish I had it today, .The Fleetwood is the GM cousin to the Caprice it too is awecome.

[@williamdevore8861]

[@jean-marcandjoshua-petsjournal]

Wonderful singing Randy. The Cadillac should run like a dream after you flush it right.

[@ralphbrown1053]

That’s typical for a caddy. They are known to overheat and blow head gaskets. If you are lucky, it’s just a hose or thermostat. Caddy’s make really nice rides but you really have to keep an eye on that temperature gauge frequently when you drive them

[@nicholas440]

Those side skirts definitely look like a great spot for rust

[@MostlyBuicks]

I ALWAYS remove the DexCool on my cars and replace it with Prestone "All Vehicles" 100,000 mile coolant. And I change that every 50,000 miles. The only thing DexCool is good for it to make that carrots in orange Jello for your school lunches.

[@amadeo_serrano]

If the Fleetwood has a clean title, let the dealers decide whether or not you keep it. Run it through the dealer auction with a reserve and, if it sells over reserve, the decision is made.

[@francisniestemski7382]

I have two 67 Olds 98s and they have the same tires as you bought with one with 14 inch rims and one the 15 inch rims. The caddy nice.

The car looks fantastic Randy please keep it it will save you money and then some because it is easy to maintain 😀

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

All 3 of my cars with the LT1, 2 Roadmasters and one Fleetwood usually went no higher than 179F, in the summer, and 182 in the winter, and that was with the 180 Stat in it. All my Cars had the Trailer Towing Option, and only had 1 Electric Fan, and one Mechanical Clutch Fan. If there was a Rodent Nest under the Home Plate, I bet they were also Camping in the fenders between the Wheel Well and the Firewall If you want to control where the HAVC sends the Air, replace the Control with one from a 94-96 Buick Roadmaster. Buick's offered more options
