Vehicle Description
For 1993, the Fleetwood name (and exterior) was switched from the
DeVille's front wheel drive C-body to the newly revised rear wheel
drive D-body that the Cadillac Brougham had used previously. It was
one of the first American front wheel drive vehicles to be returned
to rear-wheel drive. At 225 inches (5,700 mm) overall, the
Fleetwood was the longest production car made in the United
States.14 #fn14 All Fleetwoods except for the commercial chassis
had standard antilock brakes, traction control, and dual front
airbags.In 1994, Cadillac used the Corvette-derived LT115 #fn15 350
cu in (5.7 L) engine to make 260 horsepower (190 kW) along with the
new 4L60E automatic transmission.13 #fn13 Between 1993 and 1996,
the Fleetwood commercial chassis was used instead of the DeVille
for most funeral coaches and limousines produced during these
years. The DeVille was used again in 1997, after production of the
Fleetwood ceased. After 1996, the Cadillac Fleetwood was retired by
General Motors along with all other rear-wheel drive sedans and the
assembly plant was converted to truck production for the Chevrolet
Suburban and Tahoe because of the increasing demand for SUVs.14
