Vehicle Description
1984 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 makes 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 42,447 miles with
nice light royal blue paint, and a very clean and all conveniences
working interior. A smooth 4100HT 4.1 liter V8 is under the hood,
it looks 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 Light Royal Blue which is hard to say a bad
word about. From the square and rectangle design grille and dual
rectangular headlights all shiny and nice to the rear coach lamp
shaped vertical tail lamps with chrome frames, this car has been
well taken care of. Lest we forget a smooth padded to the hilt
vinyl top adds to the delicious richness this car offers up in
mid-80's style. Even the Cadillac script engraved into the side
mirrors is showroom!
Interior
A swing of the massively white padded dual paneled door panels,
waltz with wood applique and aluminum and chrome trimmings. A full
control panel-esque grouping of toggles and joy sticks work all the
convenience functions and are at your fingertips. So is the clean
door actuator handle and a large bright square courtesy light so
you don't scrape your Bruno Maglis on the thresh hold. Panning to
the inside there are two tufted buckets which are in 55/45 split
form, and wrapped in white 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 royal blue carpet that has no stains or scuffs on it.
Looking forward to the dash we note plenty of wood applique mixed
with some dark blue vinyl which houses all the essentials and is
fronted by the original steering wheel. In a centrally located bump
out from the dash are a digital AM/FM/Cassette player, digital
climate controls, and a fuel data gauge...also digital. Noted the
covering in plastic is so clear one barely knows it's there.
Drivetrain
Under the massive hood, in a clean un-corroded engine bay sits the
4100HT 4.1 Liter V8. This is original to the car and you can tell
and hear it idle, it has been masterfully and faithfully attended
to with servicing. It is fuel injected and has a 200 R4 4 speed
automatic transmission pushing power rearward to a 10 bolt 3.42
rear axle.
Undercarriage
Slight surface rust on the usual suspects, but the floorpans don't
even have any road dirt on them. All solid underneath and power
disc brakes for the front, and power drums for the rear.
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 hob knobbing with the goober smoocher set.
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!
