For Sale: 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham 4 Door Sedan

"For 1996, Fleetwood's commanding look, legendary performance, and uncompromised standard of interior accommodations are carried to an even higher level of refinement. Under the hood, a 5.7 liter V8 provides ample power for grand touring or an unrivaled towing capacity of up to 7,000 pounds. Fleetwood Brougham's commanding look and luxurious interior define it as one of America's greatest luxury sedans." From the Fleetwood sales brochures.

For consignment, a 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham four door sedan with a title verified 44,484 actual miles. This one will come to you with the original windows sticker, owner's manuals, and other documentation.

Exterior
It seems the word stately is an understatement in the case of this long Cadillac, dressed in Medium Marblehead Metallic, a rich gray augmented by chrome accenting. It has almost limousine proportions and a rear door that's almost as long as the fronts. The vinyl covered C-pillar remains shallow as it intersects the high decklid that helps to create a whale sized rear quarter and limitless space in the trunk. This profile is further enhanced by fender skirts that lengthen the quarter and a broad chrome rocker panel is a dressy showpiece that adds an air of royalty to the car. Not to be outdone, the 15-inch chrome wheels are elaborate and framed with gold line tires. Fiber optic indicators ride the front fenders to let you know what lights are on and working. The tail lights are characteristically Cadillac and cap the elegant lines of this cruiser. This low mileage Cadillac shows no glaring exterior imperfections.

Interior
The royal treatment continues where the long doors combine soft gray materials and dark simulated wood hardware faceplates and black based switchgear with metal buttons, and each is impeccable. Another switch panel clings to the side of the cloud-like 70/30 split bench seat in gray leather stitched vertically for the Brougham, and along with the rear bench, presents cleanly. A solid gray steering wheel leads to a woodgrain trimmed instrument cluster with digital readouts in lieu of analog dials, and columns of indicator lights to each side. A wood header piece looms over the width of the dash and push button controls dominate the A/C panel and AM/FM/Cassette/CD player in the center. Low pile gray carpet cleanly covers the floor and the foam backed headliner is just about perfect and houses vanity mirrors for the rear passengers and fiber optic indicators for the brake lights. Nearly 22 cubic feet of space is in the trunk, nicely finished with gray cloth, and a cargo net and space saver spare are included.

Drivetrain
Under the long hood is a 5.7 liter LT1 V8, fuel injected and putting out 260 horsepower. It is backed by a 4L60E 4-speed automatic and power is routed to the 10 bolt axle with 2.93 gears. The bay presents in clean and stock configuration.

Undercarriage
Super clean underneath with minimal surface rust and just a film of fluid on the transmission pan but no active leaks. Power disc brakes are supplied up front and power drums do the job in back. Dual exhaust flows through original equipment mufflers and resonators terminating unceremoniously under the back of the car. Suspension consists of coil springs front and rear with a 4 link in back.

Drive-Ability
Gray clouds might mean dreary weather outside, but this gray cloud floats along and provides clear views and good times. Comfortable, surefooted, and powerful, the Fleetwood floats over the asphalt like a magic carpet and you can barely hear the engine running. With such low mileage and an obviously pampered past, all functions on board work as they should, and we glide it back to the mall to find a big spot under the lights. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

Cadillacs would continue to shrink in future years, and this represents one of the last, great land yachts known for their over the top luxury and size. We see this parked gracefully in a circular driveway with some concrete lion sentries flanking each side. But it doesn't matter what your driveway looks like, this car might up your property value and standing in the HOA on day one.
