There's no better example of GM's styling and engineering prowess
in a four door luxury sedan model than the Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty
Brougham Sedan - drive one like this particular example and you
will see why - its hard to believe that this car was built over 50
years ago! These cars bristled with the latest in modern
appointments and had few rivals in the luxury market and were
purchased only by the very privileged elite.The all new 472 V8
engine with 525 foot pounds of torque was introduced in 1968, it
was the biggest and smoothest engine built by Cadillac to date and
it proved unsurpassed in the industry as the largest engine ever
put in a production passenger motor car and provided both sparkling
acceleration, yet also quiet and effortless highway cruising,
almost like having two engines! The car was also redesigned to
match its modern engine with a new grille with finely spaced
horizontal grille bars and distinct parking and headlamp
lights.With minor trim changes, in 1966 Cadillac offered buyers two
models in this series: the standard Fleetwood Sixty Special (priced
at $6,378) and the new Fleetwood Brougham ($6,695). The Brougham
option package proved so popular the previous year it was made a
separate model for 1966. The Fleetwood Brougham included a
formal-looking vinyl roof covering, and luxurious appointments
inside such as genuine walnut trim and, for rear seat passengers,
lighted writing tables (through 1967), foot rests, and reading
lamps.All-new styling appeared in 1969, and the two Sixty Special
models had distinct rooflines from the other Cadillacs. A 60/40
split bench seat was standard in the Sixty Special Brougham,
optional in Sixty Special. Safety was a new priority at Cadillac,
which introduced a new steering column that not only was designed
to absorb impact and collapse in a collision, but also had new
Federally-mandated theft-deterrent features such as an ignition key
switch activated steering wheel and transmission shifter lock
mechanism. As also mandated, head rests were standard on front
seats, while seat belts were provided for all six passengers. The
375 hp 472 cu in (7.73 L) engine carried over from 1968. Also of
note this year was the disappearance of the small vent windows on
the front and rear doors. Sixty Special Brougham, at $7,092,
included a vinyl roof top (available in six colors), as well as
rear-seat foot rests and an automatic level control for the rear
wheels which kept the car level despite the weight of fuel,
passengers, or cargo.The 472 4 barrel V8 engine is extremely strong
and powerful and and this particular car drives absolutely
magnificently - does not miss a beat and purrs like a kitten -
drives straight as an arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or
rattles - a truly remarkable daily driver that will give any modern
day car a run for it's money! The transmission shifts smoothly
through the gears and the car is an absolute pleasure to drive!The
floor boards, trunk and all the typical rust-prone areas are
completely original, solid and rust-free and the car has no signs
of any accidents. The car has its original 'Phoenix Gold Firemist
Metallic' color and boasts its seemingly all original matching
'Maize Medici Crushed Velour with embroidered inserts' interior and
carpeting with its matching headliner and all of which are still in
quite exceptional condition throughout. The car boasts its original
spare wheel and jack in the truck!This is a rare opportunity to own
a great daily driving example of a mostly completely all original
1973 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham with some 54K original miles
showing pride of ownership and in great driving and looking
condition!
