Vehicle Description
1990 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham
History: Originally used for a single horse drawn enclosed carriage
for 2-4 people, the "Brougham" owes its name to British statesman,
Henry Brougham. Cadillac first used the name in 1916 to designate
an enclosed 5-7 passenger sedan body style. The Fleetwood body
design was named for the chassis factory which was located in
beautiful downtown Fleetwood, Pennsylvania.
For consignment, a 2 owner since new Cadillac, purchased from the
original owner's son in 2014 then sparingly driven since and only
clocking 30,201 miles in its life, all original right out of the
square and rectangle design era. All is presenting in excellent
condition, this car is the definition of De' Elegance and is
associated frequently with the well-heeled, is now a true classic
and gracing our hallowed halls here at Classic Auto Mall. We give
you a 1990 Fleetwood Brougham from the Cadillac Division of GM.
Exterior
Bathed in factory original Glacier Blue, sporting long and straight
rust-free steel, well minded gaps and a padded blue vinyl top we
could just say flossy, flossy. From the crested hood and chrome
grille below, flush fitting headlights, and shiny bumper below we
are rolling in first class. Nice window trimmings, and a stainless
rocker covering and straight as arrows side trimmings and wheel
surrounds that frame chromed spoke wire wheel covers and thin
whitewall rubber. We see as my mother would say, "The rich get
richer" and this car is an example of this quote. On the back
cathedral style vertical taillights are framed in large shiny
bezels and mate with a lower bumper which is also pristine. A
4-door saloon, I now have car envy!
Interior
A swing of any of the massive padded blue vinyl and wood paneled
veneer doors, and the conveniences just on the door will take a
rocket scientist a few days to learn. Within the wood and vinyl
armrest are controls for the windows, locks, seats and side view
mirrors. All is clean and well, blue with these panels, pulls, and
actuators. Inside have a sit on any one of the tufted and buttoned
overstuffed dark blue leather encased couches. These are
wonderfully preserved, and any signs of aging shows a graceful
process. These seats float in a sea of dark blue carpeting which
has minor fading but is otherwise clean. Above in front is a forest
of veneer for the dash front, with more controls, knobs and
buttons. In their center are digital readout AM/FM/Cassette radio
and push button digital readout climate controls. For the passenger
more deep wood for the glove box door and surrounds. Nice padded
blue crack free vinyl is on top, and a band of warning lights
stretches across the top directly against the windscreen. The
headliner is looking blue and like new, in fuzzy broadcloth above
all this rich leather...breathe it in!
Drivetrain
Under the hood not unlike the rest of the car is a well preserved
very clean rust and corrosion free engine in 5.7 liter V8
configuration. On top electronic fuel injection feeds it, and on
the back a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission whisks you down the
highway. A 10-bolt 2.97 axle provides fuel economy, as if you
care.
Undercarriage
Ahhhhh yup! as expected slight road dirt and surface rust on
untreated components, otherwise showroom condition save for the
muffler which presents with a rust hole where the tailpipe joins.
Everywhere else including the independent coil springs and 4 link
with coil springs on back suspension is beautifully preserved and
working like a charm. Power disc brakes are in front, and power
drums for the rear. You can now oooooh and ahhhhh at the underside
structure.
Drive-Ability
Slipping inside I began to wonder what the less fortunate folks
were doing, but then turned my attention to the key which fired up
the engine, which took me to the test track which put a smile on my
pampered tush. All worked fabulously, and nary even a peep from the
suspension or engine during my enjoyable high-end ride.
We have a winner! All original 2 owner car which has led a pampered
life, and it shows it. It does not look a day over 32 years
old.
