Test Drive the 1990 Cadillac Brougham

[@thevinylloverbrazil]

The 1990's Cadillac cars are quite impressive for me, I'd like to drive one when I go for a trip in the US.

[@dennischallinor8497]

Thank you for the excellent video! I have a 1990 Brougham d'Elegance with a 5.7 injected and I also owned a 1988 M-B 420 SEL and when I retired I had to let one of them go. Well I still have the Caddy because of it's sheer opulence and for the fact that it is cheaper to maintain than an M-B. When my last day comes they will have to pry the keys to the Caddy out of my cold dead hands!!!

[@thomasmm415]

THIS is exactly how a Cadillac should be, nothing else.

[@starxlr7863]

These older Fleetwoods are much nicer and a much better looking body style than the next 93-96 Fleetwoods. These cars are still beautiful and never really got old. They are timeless cars and very elegant looking. This chassis/platform was produced from 1977-1992 with some various changes and different engines available through the years. If anybody wants a great example of an old school Cadillac, this is the car to own.

[@SnepperStepTV]

The dual sealed beam headlight models definitely look better than the composites like this one has. The exception is lowriders built out of the composite headlights years always have a meaner and brighter look which vibes hella good. Mine's an '88, the classiest and most sinister combination of black, crimson and chrome that you ever did see. I also have a blue '87 that i got from my uncle with an buick 350 swap done by one of his buddies who had it before me.

[@KoldingDenmark]

Chauffeured these cars A LOT in the 1990's, when they were brand new. GREAT cars.

[@BruceTheSillyGoose]

gawd, i want one. no place to park such in my little shoebox of a place. i love the floaty ride of those older land yachts, like flying on a magic carpet. so smooth and quiet and serene.

[@antiqueelectronics2462]

I drive one just like it daily. With over 175,000 miles still running smooth

[@matthewennen9311]

Ya a 89 fleetwood i drove 45k to 130k peaple called it the war macine then the grar box broke and it wasnt passing sm9g so i got rid of it for a 93 deville 4.9 i dorve that one for 8 years with no real problems expect when it got to 134k gas was shootin g out of the feul line i put jp weld and got rid of it i had a 79 eldo bern eijection fire i had a 80 coupe bern cause the coolent temp light did come on lost the nicest blue 80 coupe i ever had but thats life but im hoping one day i can get a 88 to 92 blue brough before my 403 b gets stolen fromm goverment

[@sketchyinc]

Beautiful car that I hope gets a loving home. The composite headlights look great and where only used during the very end of this cars production, so these 1990 Broughams are very rare!

[@kevindoss8003]

farewell 90's ... I don't know where 2000 and beyond are taking us, but we will miss u 90's.

[@curtisallred7250]

That thing looks brand-new!

[@eriks9417]

Wish I was born in 1950 so I'd have a great job in the 80s to afford these great Cadillacs... Brougham, Eldorado, Seville!

[@gmman010983]

nice video kyle!!!!!! thats a real GEM that ur driveing rite there and just love that old cadillac horn.....keep up the good work....

[@jabriyacoop]

This is the kind of car you'd want to drive in a suit

[@احمدالغامدي-ظ9غ8ل]

[@rutter1ify]

Yeah a Adidas trackSUIT 😂👍

[@StillAutomatic]

@@rutter1ify and hop out with some gold chains on lol if you not wearing gold in this car it just isn't right lol

[@SuperEnzo911]

With dark sunglasses and an ear piece.

[@antiqueelectronics2462]

I’d drive this car wearing anything

[@hernandezrivas]

Last of the REAL CADILLACS!! What a Cadillac should be.... BIG!!!!

[@mr.butterworth]

+hernandezrivas That's true... But I tend to think of the '96 Fleetwoods as the last real Cadillacs. That was the last of the big rear drive, body on frame B-body cars. Everything changed drastically after that, even the Fleetwood name hasn't been used since.

[@CasualGamer121]

I disagree, the last proper cadillac was the DTS. Large car, floats on the road, and a V8 engine.

[@CasualGamer121]

I disagree, the last proper Cadillac was the DTS. Large car, floats on the road, and a V8 engine.

[@gonzalezgrant]

Gay ass DTS POS

[@shred5]

The Northstar was like 2 feet shorter and needed an iron block 350 that would keep going past 100k

[@logume1881]

These cars are like being caught in a time warp. Even the indicator tick is in slow motion!

[@rmbb1981]

Haha this was really fun to watch. Felt like I was watching myself when I was younger. I was totally fixated with cars such as these. Anything that handled like a water-bed on wheels and I was in heaven.

[@AMmuscle442]

This is probably one of my all time favorite cars that you've done. Such a timeless classic and a heck of a nice one too. Glad you appreciate old cars like these. Very nice!

[@Villxe]

Great car, probably my favourite car from 1990. It's like a 1970's car with an other shape. Well done video.

[@JeremyS95]

Man I LOVE Cadillacs. Thanks for all these reviews!

[@JR1070]

btw thats what a real horn should sound like and i love the mechanical click click of that turn signal!

[@beezie687]

I would love me one of these things. Talk about real beauty right there and drive quality.

[@JisINSANE3]

this kid has the best job in the world.

[@thomaspease208]

JisINSANE3 driving, the best car on the road

[@thomaspease208]

JisINSANE3 agree

[@thomaspease208]

as soon as I get my inheritance will be buying this model

[@19375320269]

I have a 1990 brougham and i love it...i have had it for almost 10 yrs !!!

[@fireflowbabyg]

Caddy Man they are amazing , i have the 93 brougham but i gotta have this model

[@lakouismarouane9736]

Caddy Man how much do you bay it

[@marcwoodward850]

I drive by that car lot every day. I actually remember when that car was out there for sale.

[@Ometheon]

I love those interior door handles that fold down. Gives a nice impression as to how massive those doors are built.

[@edwardyoung522]

Just imagine...driving down the highway...listening to some smooth jazz...in your monster-size Cadillac. Sweet.

[@frequencyfluxfandango8504]

Cheers Kyle. YOU done a great job mate. Great in depth report n drive. might try to find one of these next summer.

[@kohlguy8656]

Wonderful car . So prestige . Thank you for those nice pictures .

[@palebeachbum]

Although Cadillac is finally making great cars again, I hate that the brand has totally lost its Cadillac flavor. The new ones don't drive like American luxury anymore. Now they are obviously just trying to mimic European luxury. American cruiser luxury seems dead.

[@harleykingman]

EXACTLY !!

[@palebeachbum]

brian ohio I didn't say anything about old technology. I'm talking about the character of the cars. No more soft, boulevard cruising suspensions that float going down the road. No more sofa-like split bench seating. No more column shifters, which I prefer. Those are some characteristics that were quite distinctive to American cars up into the first decade of the 2000s. Now all that seems dead and all the luxury cars are essentially mimicking one flavor of vehicle... a European flavor.

[@2006gtobob]

The CT6 was the car that COULD HAVE been, in spirit, the update to this car. Super smooth rude, pinky easy steering, smooth power. That is what this guy wants in a larger 4 door sedan. I don't need it to be a rocket ship that pulls1g or swerves through the cones like a Corvette or Ferrari. Give us the 4 tone horn too, please.

[@moonbeamskies3346]

palebeachbum Agreed. It happened ever so gradually, as the industry started to think that firm handling was what everyone wanted.

[@SuperBooboo02]

Pale I have to agree, I have a 16 CT6 which is on par with the best of Europe, and its quick, rides good, and is a beauty car inside, I too miss the original flavor of this era of Cadillac. I ve owned 15 Caddies, and enough the 1990s era the best, followed by my 16 CT6

[@danielettipio5106]

My buddy used to have one when we were in high school. There is nothing quite like seeing this in person.

[@jessepoker2008]

Looks just like 1980 Coupe DeVille. Minus two doors of course. I miss that car so much. 368 Ci 6.0 Liter V8 without the stupid modulated displacement they did in 1981. That was one of the best running engines ever (that I owned). My exhaust fell of so I fitted it with a dual exhaust with no cats and cherry bombs. That thing sounded so good it was unreal. Not obnoxious at all, just a sweet, perfect V8 rumble which was quiet as can be when cruising down the highway but sounded amazing when it was idling or you got on it.

[@Akashpagol]

Nice video... Nothing beats this retro feel !

[@ironohyes3644]

My uncle has an 84 Eldorado and his car is what got me into loving classic Cadillacs 😁

[@adesor]

A Great Caddy... This is what a real Cadillac should be. thanks for the vid.

[@kennygates1192]

Cars back then had so much more individuality, now they all look the same

[@michaelreyes7641]

Same mold from Europe or japan nowadays perhaps due to the same designer etc!!!!

[@fontheking5]

Nice cranking at 10:07 , and a very nice cadillac , would love if the still made Cadillacs like this today :)

[@doug9066]

I like the sound of the GM cars in the 80's & some 90's when starting car as accelerating. Nice Cadillac & may be I need to buy one.

[@johnz4860]

The fact that Cadillac exported cars like this one to the four corners of the world (albeit often through independent importers) but sold more cars in the US than the rest of the world combined speaks volumes about the perception the world has of Cadillac. Meanwhile Mercedes-Benz keeps selling S class cars around the world and BMW does likewise with the 7 series.

[@LongIslandCityLayout]

Wonderful car. I always thought the digital speedometer was a cool addition to a great car.

[@georgebelev1900]

yep me too that makes two of us now

[@احمدالغامدي-ظ9غ8ل]

[@dave11686]

Awesome video! Gotta love that old Caddy!

[@MostlyBuicks]

The 1990 had the sluggish Olds 307 engine standard. It was replaced in 1991 with the slightly better Chevy 305. All three years 1990, 91 and 92 offered the Chevy 350 as part of the towing package.

[@firealarm421]

very nice test drive Kyle. Keep up the great videos. they rock

[@SPIDER]

my dad owned a 84' Brougham but the 1990-92 are my favorite body styles because of the euro-lights and new windows :)

[@falaqdad15]

built for smoothness, sound, and reliability. And you also get this really cool thing called "torque"

[@patricksaxon3983]

I love the electronic instrument panel! So sad that we no longer see such instrument panels any more on new luxury cars any more.

[@skylancer-zer0205]

This car's probably never been above 55 mph until Kyle drove it.

[@brandondannys-menary3678]

SRT8 Nation you’re**

[@StrengthTraining84]

Eric Stearns 😂

[@DVWright8888]

Turn signals sound similar to the ticking of my old wall clocks. Awesome.

[@VinylToVideo]

I would love that car. Only problem with them is they never built them in a coupe that year. The last year they did the body was slightly different, the motor not as good, and I believe only had a 3 speed transmission.

[@19375320269]

I simply love my 90 brougham,have had it since 2006,great car.

[@davidmartin2231]

what a gorgeous car

[@phoenixtimes2]

Beautiful car! Those days are long gone....

[@vladmsb]

I love this car, one of my favorites.

[@seugene7040]

I can appreciate American sedans, but you have to admit, this car was behind the times even for 1990. Especially considering that even a 1990 Grand Marquis had a driver side airbag, and fuel injection, and that was a much less expensive car.

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

THIS is a Cadillac. Not the plastic cars of today. This is when they were still quality cars. Don't know what happened honestly, the DTS, STS, CTS couldn't come close to this in terms of build quality.

[@user-qk9ty6rj2p]

The Man t

[@1776-r4j]

The Man, I love this era of Cadillacs, but quality they were not!

[@rutter1ify]

If they don't come close to this, then they are garbage 😂😂 this car looks great, but the build quality was NOT one of its strong points😂 come on dude😲

[@rutter1ify]

Rolls Royce is a quality car👌

[@chevrosmith]

Nice video my dad has the same exact car and same year drive a like boat on water and the steering beyound amazing.

[@derail14]

nice ride dude, i just got 1 from my dad, 1989 brougham, had to put a spring & brake line on it and now i am driving it, rides like a kittin, needs a paint job but mechanical its 100%, still trying to get used to it as i had a small ford escort which was a pice of crap and thats were it went right to the car boneyard, only thing about the caddy is if it sits for a day, you have to pump the gas peddle 1 or 2 times then it fires right up, love how it rides, your going like 50 mph and it seems like your barley moving. lots of luck with your caddy...

[@redneckfl1]

I heard the reason they used the 5.0 307 Olds engine starting in 1986, was because the HT4100 used between 1982-1985 was not reliable. Starting in 1990 they offered the Chevy 350 because people wanted more power. The Fleetwood Broughams made before 1982, you could get with big blocks in them. Could you imagine going from a Fleetwood Brougham with the 8.2 liter from the 1970s to the 4.1 or 5.0 from the 80s. Thats why people like the 1990-1992 Broughams so much, because it has the 5.7 350 in it.

[@Toerme]

These interiors are just... awesome :D

[@alexandrebueno6458]

A man car. This is what I call a car! Nowadays ones look like toys.

[@sim61642]

Alexandre Bueno Belive it or not the 93 modles are even bigger ! , But i like those better.

[@matthewhull8282]

The only modern Cadillac that's bigger and heavier is the Escalade, which is unfair since it's just an even more obnoxious Suburban, and this is a humble sedan. Made only to carry everyone in comfort and not draw attention like a peacock near bears.

[@rositatorres9185]

+matthew hull g

[@johnathanleonardo912]

Today's Cadillac is just a rebadged Corvette

[@propilotc182]

@redneckfl1 You're right about the engines in the '70's, but don't forget that in 1976, the Caddy was literally a LAND YACHT! I believe the wheelbase was north of 127 inches! And, I'm sure it weighs in at well over 5000 lbs! I own a '77 Ford LTD (the BIG one), and that car DOES weigh 5000 lbs! So, the Caddy's of that era needed the big blocks just to get all that weight down the road! And, probably only getting 8-10 mpg's doing that!

[@Rollin_Heavy_Steel]

my dad had a sweeeet Olsmobile and believe me it was just as nice as the Cadillac counter-part

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

These were the last of the land yachts in my opinion. I love these things!

[@michaelreyes7641]

Love this luxury full sized boats but with velvet interior instead of leather. I even love the sound of the horn blast on it almost sounds like a train horn so loud just the way I love it!!!!

[@jpinhead]

hi there. i have a cadillac brougham just like that one only its white with blue cloth interior. I live in Gastonia, North Carolina. I absolutely love that thing. I'm sure you had a great time with it.

[@MostlyBuicks]

Another thing of note, 1990 was the last year for lacquer paint on GM cars. 1991 ushered in base coat/clear coat paint.

[@applecore91]

for a 24 year old car the features on this thing are amazing!

[@WeDwellinaFiefdom]

Would this qualify as a land yacht?

[@Watcher3223]

+SaturnValleyGamer You certainly can't call it a land dinghy.

[@starxlr7863]

+SaturnValleyGamer The Last good looking and classy land yacht before the ugly 93-96.

[@davidsands9286]

+Highway To The Obsolete if I may ask....what car is it? I'm curious.

[@davidsands9286]

Nice!

[@starxlr7863]

David sands The one in this video is a 1990 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

[@lightningbuster]

Beautiful cars these were. My uncle had one and he had the rear passanger door windows and rear window very tinted so it felt really cozy in the back seats like a fort or movie theatre or something

[@redraidersman96]

this car is great my grandfather had one they ride great its almost like flying in a plane. love this cadillac

[@brkitdwn]

PURE LUXURY.. I wanna see the one with the pillow style seats. I always imagined that if I had one and was ever in an accident, I just might be pillowed to death.

[@Ty4ons]

@gajda1984 Remember that torque is only useful for power in low revs. This car has got maximum power around 3000 RPMs. Sure it's nice to have lot of power at 1000-2000, but when overtaking it must be really annoying to run out of power that quickly. The BMW M35B30 (3.5 litre straight six) had "only" 225 ft/lb (versus 250), but at 3000 RPMs it had just ~20 less hp, at 4000 RPMs 31 more hp and at its peak (5700) 71 more hp. In the E32 7 series it got 31 mpg at 90 km/h and 24 mpg at 120 km/h.

[@B3burner]

The wide dual headlights were an interesting design. You can tell each headlight was as wide as two of them would have been- if it had had quad headlights.

[@OLDS98]

Thank you for sharing. It was great to see the road test. Yes, Brougham was the longest regular production car back then.

[@jonszabo]

Awesome! I sure wish I could have tagged along, and maybe have been the cameraman or something! Great vid! Thumbs up, for sure! :)

[@flightmaster178]

Beautiful car. I wish Cadillac went back to these cars again. Also, what ever happened to hood ornaments? lol. I love them but nobody uses them anymore :(

[@atown7714]

I feel that I hate the cadillac w/o!! Gott have it!

[@PoopLoop202]

They stopped doing hood ornaments because people kept stealing them off the cars. That's why there's just an emblem on the car somewhere

[@Natemire]

I think everyone stopped hood ornaments because trends come and go. I think they can't come back though because of pedestrian impact laws.

[@thomasj5722]

Because it rips out a kidney when you hit a child in it =D

[@MA-xb2lu]

I Love you Cadillac 1990🌷🌷🌷 🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶 😘😘😘

[@Sully9549]

I feel more attracted to this cars than the newer ones

[@timothywells4027]

I'm more of a Lincoln Town Car guy but that Caddy is awesome.

[@parkinglotdrifter]

Hey Kyle, If you haven't gotten a tour of that maroon Camry Wagon already, you should do it!

[@JeanPierre94061]

V6's, V8's and 4 cylinder engines all operate on a rotational basis with a complete firing sequence occurring every 2 revolutions (720 degrees). If you only have 4 cylinders, you only have 4 pistons firing 180 degrees apart. With a V8, you have a piston firing every 90 degrees. The more cylinders you have, the smoother it is from a firing perspective. You can't beat physics though. The smoothest engines have the most cylinders. Compare your care with a 2 cylinder Harley when you are next to one.

[@wacaze]

I love these kind of cars so much .

[@dethica]

my god! this was class back in the day!

[@johnmyerson7210]

Great car. I had a 90, it was a nice car but I think it needed a new cat. It was like lying in bed riding in this baby. Very sharp car, shaper than a razor blade. Mine was Dr. Blue, seeing this video makes me wish I still had mine. I had the 5.0 Liter.

[@RichieRouge206]

Oh and I LOVE the indicator (turn signal) noise!! Awesome :)

[@BruceTheSillyGoose]

how well does this car filter out short-sharp-shock-type bumpy road surfaces? i bet if i tried to park it in a modern parking space, i would not be able to fit it all in there without taking another space.

[@PDtreinz1310]

i cant wait i am able to buy a car like this, i really like old american cars, especially cadillacs.

[@georgebelev1900]

Outstanding beauty and luxury like a person with real taste like me should own

[@gigicul21]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TEST DRIVE! VERY NICE!

[@Jaredsfarm]

engines today are built with more power per square inch and with more efficiency, but like you said you just can't beat the old cars for comfort and ride. well said pal

[@Vanool35]

Great horn... wish I could have a car like that

[@humanparody12]

The diesels weren't actually all that bad. It's the head bolts that were the problem; they were the same ones used in the gas engine it was based off of, and they couldn't handle the compression.

[@demarcos69]

My grandmother had one ..it was like driving a boat

[@turbodistortionirmc]

Great video as usual.

[@mjobermeyer09]

Beautiful car! The 5.7 was the better engine however. The 5.7 didn’t fight revs and it ran quietly.

[@sheemobile]

Love the early 90s cars

[@Tokopol]

@TUFFGUYS1 It's a Brougham. Fleetwood and Brougham were two separate models after 1985, not different trims of the same model. As well, when the Fleetwood Brougham was one model (1985 and earlier), it was a single trim.

[@MillerMeteor74]

I wouldn't mind having that car. My dad had a `90 Brougham, but it had the 5.7. Unfortunately it was wrecked in a freak accident. What a loss that was.

[@System6VideoProductions]

Epic horn on the car, I’d love to drive this

[@VinylToVideo]

I absolutely love the Fleetwood Brougham coupe. I am confused though how the Fleetwood name was used for two models of Cadillac at the same time! I have a '91 Fleetwood coupe with different style and drivetrain from the Brougham. The Brougham seems to be of even more classic design. I don't think the Brougham could be had in a coupe as late as '91 but the Fleetwood Coupe with the 4.9 was still available until '92.

[@2414kels]

VinylToVideo i love the car... I just got a 90 Brougham maroon on maroon. Immaculate condition.

[@VinylToVideo]

I like the Brougham coupes which seem to be rare in this style. The Fleetwood coupe I have is nice too and has more power.

[@2414kels]

VinylToVideo I wanted the coupe, but was hard to get. I almost had a good one, but by the time i got to the guy who was selling it. Someone beat me too it. He was nice enough to let me know his coworker had the 4dr, which i bought from him.

[@VinylToVideo]

The RWD coupe is hard to find, especially with the better 350 motor. I have the FWD version which in '91 was just the Fleetwood (no Brougham). Only 896 made of the one I have. I'm thinking of selling it but would like to park it also since it's so rare. Only 126,000 miles.

[@2414kels]

***** yeah 80 in good condition is a hard one.

[@macbrownman]

looks really fun to drive
