@@parkerhowell646 I cannot "forget" the 1990 Brougham, as I'm a CURRENT owner of an 89 Brougham. The '90 itself is nothing "special" as it's the same body from 1977 to 1992, with the ONLY major sheet metal in 1980. The 71-76 was STILL the LAST Actual FULL SIZE Cadillac.
@@itsabigchungus I happen to LIKE that interior. Having ridden in these cars, I can tell you it not only LOOKS better than todays car interiors, but its a LOT more comfortable too! It doesn't feel like you're sitting on a two by four with a piece of vinyl glued to it!
Wow this is a very beautiful big car, seeing this reminds me of my uncle Tony's Fleetwood brougham but his was '81 or '82. They don't make them like they used to
My mom has a 73 fleetwood brougham d'elegance, one step under the limo. Only has just overb11,000 original miles one it. Very smoth riding car, very comfortable.
Beautiful car. Back in '84 I had a 1974 Coupe DeVille. It was a great car! Smooth & sexy as all hell!!! Dark blue with a white Landau top. It had the big front bumper which I wasn't fond of, but she was a fine automobile!
@@jeremyvachon5743 I see paint defects, interior wood trim splitting, the A/C will need to be upgraded to current regulation freon, belts, hoses, fluids, etc. Nothing major or hugely expensive, just lots of small things to bring the beauty back. As I said, this is a great project car!
train 59 71 was the only year with the turn signals in the bumper, in fact almost all the exterior trim on 71s is unique to that year, 72-74 pieces might fit but they are not the same
I bought one of these used in 1975. Mine was a low mileage Coupe DeVille. It was a really nice car but it had quality control deficiencies just like the rest of the GM lineup. Vacuum leaks, cruise control failed, radio was intermittent, and best of all----While cruising on the interstate at a steady 75 MPH a rocker arm pivot casting snapped off disabling one cylinder, an expensive repair. I still liked the ride though.
Had my grandfather's when I turned 16. Awesome car but big for a teenager. In an effort to look more mature I would buckle up both the lap and shoulder belts and actually found that the car drove and handled better with the belts buckled. It was a bit tricky to reach the lighter and ashtray with the shoulder belt on.
The belts probably saved my life in a head on collision with a Chevrolet suburban that crossed the center line one night. I walked away with only bruises from the belts which was far better than the unbelted other driver who had massive head and chest injuries.
E.C. Listening you would be surprised, the Cadillac engine was actually fuel efficient when they are kept in proper tune, my 71 Sedan DeVille averages 10-11 normal driving and has done 16 on the last long trip, remember these are point distributors and carburetors making 365 hp pushing in my case a 5000 lb car, this Fleetwood 75 is close to 5700 lbs
I wonder at 2:26 if that yellowish stuff in the fold in the headliner is NICOTINE.???? UG!!! As mentioned already the series 75 Sedan had a movable front seat for chauffeur comfort, however, the Series 75 Limousine had the division glass which I always insisted on when buying a 75 series model....so much more privacy and much quieter!!! I do like the 1972 Fleetwoods as i always thought the 2.5” space between the front and back doors made the car look like it was divided even if it wasn’t..
Remember that car well. Two broke college students, my brother and I used one borrowed from the uncle for transportation. Would put $5.00 in the tank for gas, which was in the late 70's and would just weep.
I was in the same boat with you. I had my grandfather's to drive when I turned 16. Had it through high school and college.

My dad had the 1972 Cadillac Sedan De Ville. It looked identical to the 1971 model, only with some minor changes. It was heavy, powerful and cruises very quietly and smoothly as though it was flying in the air. It was a great car and a REAL Cadillac! 👍 Not like the newer Cadillacs that are the European imitations of today.
I adore classic Cadillac cars. Wish I could own one someday..
THIS! This is my dream car. No mods just a pure 70's land yacht.
YES! I abhor modifications on any car. It's an insult to the designers.
The exterior is perfection but the interior really let's it down . Did they run out of black plastic or something? And those seats WTF .
I like the 71-73 with the turn signals between the headlights.
It's when real Cadillac's were made !
@coffeeinthemorning how so ?

I’ve been in these for funerals, and once after my wedding. I’d love to take another ride for our next anniversary.

Amazing car. I had a 1966 Sedan de ville. Nice, but not in the same class as your Fleetwood.
This looks to be a 1971 Cadillac Fleetwood series 77 limousine. It's one super awesome car!
Actually its a Fleetwood Series 75 nine passenger sedan.
My mom has a 73 fleetwood brougham d'elegance, one step under the limo. Only has just overb11,000 original miles one it. Very smoth riding car, very comfortable.
My family had a 73 and a 75 Coup. Loved those cars.
Holy crap. That hood is bigger than a smart car
Love that exhaust note 👍🏾
This car gave me goose bumps damn that's a nice caddy
Back when quiet elegance actually meant something
Worked at gm Cadillac dealership in 1976 as a mechanic, these are the easiest cars to work on. Heavy but would get up and go, 500 cu in v8
I believe the 500 cubes came out in either 75 or 76. My '74 Coupe DeVille had the 472.
Anthony Angeli 500 ci was in ‘75 and ‘76. 425s started in ‘77
500 came out in 1970 in the Eldorado...
What a sporty looking little Cadillac.
A fabulous car. Thanks for showing

riding in comfort feels like floatin down the highway
This is back from when real men made smog
Love the chocolate brown paint work. You never see that.
Hermoso auto ,imponente.
Men that is IMMACULATE!! I had a 78 Deville 4 door as well. They ride like a boat.
Awesome car! I like that it does not have a vinyl roof.
What a beast! Definitely Cruise all day at 75 or 80
Such a beautiful car
This looks like the one in Dirty Harry movie "magnum force "
That was a 1970, i believe..
It was a 1970 9-passenger sedan.
That is a real caddie love it
That roofline is to die for. It’s really too bad about the velour seats though.
the best car here....u r awesome ,bro...
That is a hell of a color combination.
Excellent cadillac.👍🇺🇸
You had to be a "BIG SHOT" to be driven around in the back of that thing!
That solid sound when he closes the hood....
Now that's a car🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍😎😎
Движок у этого Кадиллака супер
Шикарно умеют делать!!!
Amazing 12.5 L MOTOR AND PUTS OUT 56HP GOT TO LOVE IT
My parents had a 68' Cadillac Calais 2dr growing up it was turquoise
Oh when I was a boy at 6, I thought this was the car of cars-Cadillac. And, it was! No Lincolns in my “hood.”
YES! My Grandfather had a '65 Fleetwood and then a '69, and to me growing up, Cadillac was THE standard of the world.
Looks so much better from the outside. Thank goodness for tinted windows.
Friend had 1 with the 472. Big ass land yacht.
I just love old Ameri's cars till 2000"s American were the best!!!
DAMN !! That Engine Sounds Good..
Precioso muy original
If I had a million bucks right now, I would give it with my eye's closed from just hearing the sound.
nice this car, i one.. very nice n cool..
Gorgeous! Most likely this was a funeral home car in it's first in"car"nation!😄
that is what I think, judging by the basic cloth interior.
What a car!😎
I don’t remember our caddy’s sounding that loud? Nice!
jon T It most likely doesn’t have the resonator anymore
Inside is big. I like it
I would love that thing
It needs lots of work and it's not the original paint, but it would make a great project car
Sorry to ask but how do you know this car needs alot of work when its not your car?
