Vehicle Description
Grab a few buddies and hit the road for Vegas in this elegant
4-door 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. Nearly 20 feet of classic
American steel might just be the ultimate way to arrive in style.
It doesn't carry a big price tag, but everyone will think you're a
high-roller behind the wheel of this great Caddy. And with only
57,130 believed actual miles on the clock, you'll be showing off
for a long time to come.
In the '60s, Cadillac was synonymous with quality and style, and
anyone who was anyone owned a top-of-the-line Fleetwood. Today,
these cars are as iconic as Ray Ban sunglasses and a sharkskin
suit, and when they're this affordable, there's no reason not to
treat yourself to some high-end iron. Keeping a low profile will be
virtually impossible with all that beautiful Sauterne sheetmetal,
and while it's not the flashiest shade, you can't deny the mass
appeal of a period-correct color on land yacht such as this.
Although the paint's not perfect, it's still very nice it's in the
right condition for grabbing some friends and heading out on a road
trip and not worrying about dirt and bugs on the nose or parking it
overnight at some out-of-the-way hotel on the coast. Chrome and
brightwork make a big Cadillac statement and glitter against the
subdued paint, and most of it is newer factory stock that will
maintains its glow for years. The new dark brown vinyl top adds
even more sophistication to the classiest car on the road, and the
fender skirts harken back to a time when giant rear fins ruled the
day,
It's hard to believe cars this big were once the norm and today the
interior feels like your living room. Plush Medium Beige leather
seats with high backs make it easy to settle in for the long haul,
and even the folks in back will feel like kings as you make your
grand entrance everywhere you go (heck, in this car, even the
drive-thru at McDonald's feels special). The seats were originally
cloth, but reupholstering them in supple leather was a genius move
that made this luxury car that much more luxurious. Everything from
automatic climate control to power windows and locks to power seats
was included and the stereo was upgraded to a modern retro-style
AM/FM/AUX unit that slit right into the factory slot in the dash.
Wood grain accents adorn the door panels, dash, steering wheel, and
gauge bezels and provide a feeling of warm sophistication Cadillac
hung its proverbial hat on for decades. And, of course, the trunk
is massive and ready carry enough luggage for an adventure.
Cadillac's monstrous 472 cubic inch V8 was the only powerplant
available, and it's the right one for this big, beautiful beast.
Effortless in everything it does, it has prodigious torque to move
all that sheetmetal, and once you get a head of steam, it'll cruise
all day at ticket-earning speeds. It's original, but fairly clean
under the hood, showing signs of careful maintenance over the
years. It starts easily, idles smoothly with a great V8 burble from
the single tailpipe, and when you drop the TH400 3-speed automatic
into gear, it eases off like a cruise ship. The ride is supple, the
brakes are effective, and thanks to air shocks out back, you don't
have to worry about packing in the back seat with heftiest of your
colleagues. It's all-original underneath, but quite solid so
there's lots of life left in this big four-door, and thanks to a
set of 235/75/15 whitewalls wrapped around factory wheels, it's
ready to rock.
Style doesn't come any more pure than this. Show up in this car and
you'll be the hit of every party you attend. Call today!
