Vehicle Description
Top-of-the-line Fleetwood Brougham. 70,000 miles. Loaded with
options. Extremely well maintained, everything works. Runs and
drives superbly. Beautiful color combination. The last of the true
American luxury sedans, ready for your next road trip!Until you've
experienced the pillowy-soft luxury of a traditional body-on-frame
American luxury car, it's hard to describe it. Cadillac was the
undisputed king of such machines and held out as long as possible
building cars like this handsome 1995 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham
to deliver that traditional feel. Today it feels a bit like a
rolling anachronism, but we guarantee you'll never find a better
car for long-distance road trips. Finished in Light Driftwood
Metallic, it looks the part of a high-end luxury car, particularly
with the bright stainless trim along the rockers that was
emblematic of the Brougham upgrade. Styling did a pretty good job
of hiding the car's sheer size, but make no mistake, this is a very
big car. There are limousine-like accommodations in back and
Cadillac surely emphasized the car's great length in their period
advertising. There are no signs of accident damage, repaints, or
rust damage anywhere on the car, which spent almost the entirety of
its life in sunny, warm Florida. The chrome and stainless trim is
excellent and the padded roof shows no evidence of trouble
underneath. Panel fit is quite good and the car feels like a
high-end luxury sedan in the heavy way the doors swing shut. This
is still an imposing car on the road.The interior is where big cars
like this really shine. There's plenty of stretch-out room for
everyone, and with those expansive leather-covered couches are soft
and comfortable. Every available feature was standard on the
Brougham, including power windows, locks, seats, and mirrors, a
tilt steering column, rear defrost, heated seats, and a powerful
climate control system. All those systems are operation, as is the
digital instrument panel, which is an important factor when
considering one of these relics. The upholstery shows light signs
of use but no damage or excessive wear, the carpets are protected
by matching carpeted floor mats, and the massive back seat area
looks hardly used. Even the headliner looks virtually new and does
not suffer from any sagging or deterioration. The Delco
AM/FM/cassette/CD stereo system sounds great inside the hushed
Fleetwood and with just over 70,000 miles on the clock, it's still
tight and rattle-free. And, of course, there's a positively massive
trunk in back, which includes a full-sized spare, jack assembly,
and accessory cargo net to keep things secure. If there's a better
car for family road trips, I don't know what it might be.Part of
that supreme roadworthiness comes from the engine, which is a
Corvette-derived 5.7 liter V8. With a lot of the tweaks of the
Corvette LT1, it feels energetic and powerful, which is a pleasant
change of pace from most luxury yachts of the era. The engine bay
is neat and tidy, 100% stock, and properly maintained. Factory
markings and decals are still visible throughout, and thanks to the
engine's legendary reliability, it's probably ready to go for
another 30 years. It starts easily, idles properly, and generally
goes about its business the way a luxury engine should: quietly and
competently. It even pulls down decent fuel economy on the open
road thanks to the 700R4 4-speed automatic with a deep overdrive
gear. Of course, the 2.93 gears in back certainly help, making the
car feel relaxed at speed. The ride is soft yet controlled, a trait
unique to body-on-frame cars like this, and even with dual exhaust,
it's hushed and nearly silent inside. You can see that the floors
are in incredibly condition with no rot issues and there's only
light surface scale on the heavy iron parts, which is common.
Chrome alloy wheels were optional, with these carrying a recent set
of 235/75/15 whitewall radials.We've had these on our future
collectables list for several years and values are ticking upwards
as people finally realize that cars like this will never exist
again. With a big V8 up front, an isolated body sitting on a
massive frame, and traditional suspension tuning, this is the car
that best epitomizes an era. Call today!Harwood Motors always
