For Sale: 1991 Cadillac Brougham in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1991 Cadillac Brougham d'Elegance

The Fleetwood Body Company of Fleetwood, Pennsylvania, was founded by Harry Urich in the nineteenth century. It began as a small community of craftsmen founded by Henry Fleetwood, Esq. of Penwortham, near Lancaster, England, (the Fleetwood family flourished in England in the 17th and 18th centuries). When the Sixty Special Series was retired in 1977, the Fleetwood Brougham took its place as Cadillac's largest owner driven sedan model through 1986. From 1987, it was renamed to Cadillac Brougham and the "d'Elegance" was an option package that designated the most luxurious Brougham.

For consignment, a 1991 Cadillac Brougham d'Elegance with a title verified 88,589 actual miles. Distinctly Cadillac and still rear wheel drive, this stately automobile represented the pinnacle of success and just 8,812 d'Elegance were produced in '91, about a third of the total Brougham production.

Exterior
Long straight panels and large horizontal surfaces are colored with two stage Light Sapphire Blue Metallic and present in very nice condition. The blue vinyl top is also in nice shape, including the Cadillac crest on the C-pillar while surrounding the fixed quarter window on the door and for extra luxury, a coach lamp is embedded in each B-pillar. Wire wheel covers adorn each of the 15-inch wheels matching in brightness the trim piece that runs from the hood and around the cabin, as well as another trim over the silver painted rocker panel. Out back, robust chrome tail light nacelles surround the vertical lenses with a frosted presentation and small Cadillac coat of arms, bookending the razor straight chrome bumper. Reverse lights are reserved for the space adjacent to the license plate on the down side of a long, flat decklid. Composite headlights looked very modern in 1991 and are topped by a classic hood ornament. This car shows no glaring exterior imperfections.

Interior
Blue leather floods the luxurious doors and d'Elegance is embroidered into each, indicating the upgraded design option. Simulated wood trim is everywhere, including around each element of the doors where chrome and brushed nickel metal sets a classy contrast. Seatbelts are anchored to the front doors in an interesting configuration. Once inside, the buckets seats of blue leather are biscuit tufted and the uppers are pillow topped and in very good condition while the rear seats share the material and color and barely look used. Rear passengers are afforded handles on the back of the front seats along with deep magazine pockets, and a lighter and ashtray for each side. The steering wheel and dash dominated by the woodgrain is in excellent condition with a digital read out instead of analog needles, and the center stack contains an integrated AM/FM/Cassette radio and an electronic climate control panel. The plush blue carpet below is toes deep and in overall nice condition, topped by thick carpeted mats and the foam backed headliner is near flawless. An enormous trunk is finished with gray cloth panels and a Cadillac branded mat, housing a covered spare and plenty of room for other things.

Drivetrain
Under the big hood is a clean and stock looking 5.0 liter V8 with electronic fuel injection and a horsepower rating of 170. It is backed by GM's trustworthy 700R4 4-speed transmission that routes power all the way back to the 10 bolt axle with 3.08 gears.

Undercarriage
Driver quality conditions prevail underneath with surface rust throughout, some oil on the rear differential and on the oil pan and flywheel cover, along with a few small holes on the exhaust pipe beyond the stock style muffler of the single pipe system. Power brakes are onboard to slow this land yacht, disc up front and drums in back. Coil springs are front and rear with a 4 link in back.

Drive-Ability
Floaty, soft, smooth. That's what Caddy's are known for and this one doesn't disappoint. The five liter puts out adequate power and our 70 series tires with a mid 2019 date code, help soften road imperfections on our test loop. It's beyond comfortable in the cabin and you will arrive at your destination well rested but try not to fall asleep on the pillow tops. We note the A/C and front power reclining seat option is not working, but all other functions operate as they should and we float this blue cruiser back to the mall. 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.

Here's one from a bygone era when Cadillacs were still regarded as the best of the best. If you had a Brougham, you've arrived and likely became a Cadillac devotee if you weren't already one. After a long career in the wholesale food business, Uncle Harry drove one, and we never saw him without a smile behind the wheel. This one will light you up too!
