Vehicle Description
1991 Cadillac Fleetwood Sedan
The Fleetwood Body Company of Fleetwood, Pennsylvania, was founded
by Harry Urich in the nineteenth century. It began as a small
community of craftsmen founded by Henry Fleetwood, Esq. of
Penwortham, near Lancaster, England, (the Fleetwood family
flourished in England in the 17th and 18th centuries). The rich
traditions of 300 years of coach-building that the Fleetwood Body
Company applied to its work on cars secured for it a high
reputation in automobile circles worldwide by the 1920s. Coachwork
was built by Fleetwood for a variety of luxury brands through 1924.
GM, having bought both companies, named the Cadillac Fleetwood in
honor of this early coach building company from Pennsylvania, and
the town bearing its name...Fleetwood.
For consignment, an original survivor with a mere 92,834 actual
miles, nice Cotillion White paint, a very clean, and all
conveniences working interior. A smooth 4.9 liter V8 is under the
hood, it looks and drives just like the day your pop pop drove it
off the showroom floor.
Exterior
Straight steel which lines up very nicely with its chromed
trimmings is bathed in Cotillion White, which is hard to say a bad
word about save for a few scuffs and chips in the front bumper.
From the square and rectangle design grille and dual rectangular
headlights all shiny and nice to the rear coach lamp shaped
vertical tail lamp with chrome frames, this car has been well taken
care of. The roofline with its extended area from the B pillar to
the C pillar adds to the delicious richness this car offers up in
mid 80's style. A white vinyl top covers the expansive passenger
compartment, and the lower third of this car is bathed in
complementing medium gray. Even the Cadillac script engraved into
the side badges and the cloisonne crested badges on the front and
back are showroom! Silver 15-inch multi spoke finned aluminum
wheels with the Cadillac badge on the hubs have thin white sidewall
tires surrounding them and add to the splendor of this early 90's
luxury liner.
Interior
A swing of the massively dark blue padded dual paneled door panels,
waltzes with wood applique and aluminum and chrome trimmings. A
full control panel-esque grouping of toggles and joysticks work all
the convenience functions and are at your fingertips. So is the
clean door actuator handle and a large panel of blue carpeting
under the armrest put there so you don't scrape your Bruno Maglis
on the threshold. Panning to the inside there are two tufted and
buttoned buckets which are in 50/50 split form and wrapped in
beautifully preserved dark blue leather. There is a padded center
armrest which folds upward and disappears from the bucket seats.
Having the driver open the rear doors, you can luxuriate in a large
padded bench, again with the tufting and buttoning, and central
fold up armrest. These wonderful overstuffed recliners float in a
sea of deep pile blue carpet that has only a few light stains at
the driver's position. Looking forward to the dash, we note plenty
of wood applique mixed with some very clean blue vinyl which houses
all the blue LCD readout dash instrumentation essentials and is
fronted by the factory steering wheel. In a centrally located bump
out from the dash is the climate controls with blue LCD readout,
and an information center. Next to this is a digital AM/FM/Cassette
player.
Drivetrain
Under the massive hood, in a clean uncorroded engine bay sits the
4.9 Liter V8. This is original to the car and you can tell when you
hear it idle that it has been masterfully and faithfully attended
to with servicing. It is fuel injected and has a 4T60 4-speed
automatic transmission pushing power to a 2.73 geared axle.
Undercarriage
Slight surface rust on the usual suspects, but the floorpans don't
even have any road dirt on them. All solid underneath with power
disc brakes and independent suspension providing the cushy
limo-like ride.
Drive-Ability
We love these large and in charge Detroit iron behemoths that roll
through our door, and this one has no love lost for it. It started
right up, was extremely comfortable, and my snappily dressed for
the occasion test driver whisked me through the test track and I
did not spill a drop of my chardonnay. An excellent experience.
What a great job I have indeed, and I could get accustomed to all
this hobnobbing with the goober smoocher set. A/C blew nice and
cold and all functions were working as they should.
Well heeled, high class, wealthy, high end, and luxurious still
abound in this classic, which rolls you down the road with showroom
ease and style, as well as condition. Fastidiously maintained and
put away nicely for the next jaunt, this Caddy is truly rad, with a
big touch of class!
