Isn't that car throttle body injection?
HAY Scotty I need help..WHATS A PUMPKIN FILTER? OR PUMPKIN GREASE?
nah, many people confuse it with TBI, it is a computer controled E4MC carburetor with a built in fuel mixture solenoid and TPS sensor, the computer controls fuel mixture and and matches it to data from MAP and TPS, other than that, the carb is old style.
Once a Cadillac, always a Cadillac; it's like an old classic suit, the styling never gets old.
Paul T. True Indeed
Big beautiful highway cruiser. It brings back many memories of my grandpa's Oldsmobile.
My dad loved these and had a couple while I was growing up.
I took my drivers test in a royal blue 89 example of this car. It was the first and only time i drove the beast. I can remember trying to figure out where everything was in it, such a monstrous tank. But what a ride, never found a car the could ever match it.
Awesome caddy! My first car was a white 1977 Fleetwood Brougham with red leather interior. I miss her often.
Excellent car and the video was well done. Thumbs up!
Hey that was pretty good. Good job kid!
Damn that’s a sweet ride!
The Cadillac Brougham reminds me of the American gangster films
Was the 5.7L Chevy available in '89? I know it was in '90.
First car I ever drove was an '87 like that one.
FINALLY! A survivor 80s Cadillac that hasn't been butchered up with subwoofer speakers, loud colors, and dumb a** rims.
What a doozy1929 black hood guys
Right cause it's not in Cali I would a all stock one
You'll never find a stock one, your best luck is to find one for sale with a one owner history.
What a doozy1929 You can find stock ones, trouble is a lot of them are stricken with rust. That being said, I'd rather see them rimmed up, on switches or candy painted versus being stripped in a U-Pull yard.
Personally I'd like to find a coupe, swap in a 500ci and 4L80, and coil over suspension on a simple billet wheel.
rcairforceone I like a little custom, but the ones I see look stupid
He didn't show the trunk lock mechanism because of the dead body.
Sid B lol, mafia
Interesting backstory and great car. Back when comfort was king!
+Michael Robins Yup. And also when they were more racist too.
But hey, you can't have strong people without having ignorance and you can't have understanding people without opinions
kapil busawah why are you bringing this up? Irrelevant. Bringing up random crap on a car video, smdh.
Sweet Old Cadallic!
Old skool Cadillac
Why are older cars so damn sexy?!?!
It's probably because there was so much more style. Today's cars almost all look the same, roundy looking things.
It's the real American car.. strong, reliable, luxury,long lasting, I had one when I was in Texas in 1992 then ship it back to dubai .. sold it 5 years ago.. God bless America
Looks so regal, elegant and valuable compared to most of today's plastic one time use throw away cars.
That's a nice Caddy!
Ozzstar Yes Sir Nice Caddy!!!
The front on that thing is glorious.
Beautiful shaped sedan. This very astute owner clearly knows what they are about. A total credit to him for finding and fully appreciating this excellent example.
Thank God for the olds motor, if it were a HT 4100 that car would've been crushed years ago. That's very nice and clean.
I remember cruising around in my folks 77 coupe DeVille. Like a living room sofa on wheels.
Tyler Durden Almost the same car. The 89 Brougham would have a split bench in front, and a 5.0 rather than a 425, but basically the same car as the 77 De Ville, Electra, 98, Parisian, etc.
The car made major changes done to it in 1980, while it still basically looked like the 77 - 79 car, there were lots of differences. My Ex had a 79, I had an 86, we parked them next to each other and the differences in construction was quickly apparent.
I had a mint condition Olds Delta 88 for 9 years with the same 307 engine. I bought it off an old lady for $1900, it was super reliable and I felt like I was driving around on a couch. After 9 years I sold it for $1800.
Wow. 1989 seems like...last week.
Most in my old neighborhood called these land yachts but I always like them. The ride quality was second to none. So comfortable, it was like sitting on your best couch. I hope I can find one of these in mint condition one day.
My lincoln 84 rides smoother. I own a 86 fleetwood brougham
a real car... being put to death by damn tree huggers. I'd like to have one a bit older, before the smog era, and with less plastic. 70's maybe, pre 75 anyway, 50's or 60's would be better, but those are getting pricey now. Of course there's always Scotty's Lincoln Mark 3...or was it a 4?
Nice Caddy! My Dad had a 1980 Coupe Deville (the 2 door version of this one) back in the day. We were involved in a pretty bad freeway accident and that big car saved our lives. It got fixed and he kept it for a couple more years.
That's a Beautiful Survivor, i love that 80's classy interior, pure elegance! you got a treasure there, take good care of her! 👍😎
💪💪💪👍👍👍 awesome Scott is the man not a lot of people would do what he's doing he's not selfish he likes to share not a lot of people do go Scotty

You are right. Scotty just loves cars. And it shows.
Scotty knows Toyota is the best!
J'adore ses vidéos là-bas les meilleures et ta droite
BRAVO BRAVÍSSIMO!!!!
Still looks better than any new car.
EA Jam some brands yes but I don’t think new Benz of Lexus models
FORC3OFX F3AR waaaaay better than that .
EA Jam opinon
FORC3OFX F3AR I really tried them all and they mostly the same lots of plastic , nothing like old leather and wood , they just don't make them like that anymore because it would cost so much .
EA Jam I’m not disagreeing I like it to, which is why I only drive 90s lexus models. But new cars also look nice.
Those older cars were big, parking wasn't always easy, you had to pump the gas a couple times on a cold day to get them to started, but damn riding in them felt like a sofa on wheels and yes, the steering is no comparison to the newer, stiffer cars of today.
1 of my favorite cars
I had a 89 brougham....
Me too! I sure miss mine.
Goodfella's called they want their Caddy back or someone is going to get wacked. Forget about it.
Reminds me of my grandfather. Man them were the days, cruising with Gramps when I was 10 years old in the Caddy. Was so cool.
Love the older large car's!! Nice to see one in such good condition. And someone in anothe county that appreciates it!! Very cool!!
So many km’s the odometer doesn’t have room for all the digits!
The odometer reads in kilometres. Looks like about 97000 from what I saw ,around 61000 miles. All Canadian cars from around 1980 forward have metric dash clusters.
That odometer has most likely rolled over, judging by the overall cosmetic condition of the interior and exterior, which equals to about 122k miles.
More like from 1976 everything was in metric, they even got rid of the gallons and scales had to be in kilos and grammes.
Reminds me of simpler times in my life. Thanks for the sharing!
Sweet ride. Love the old school boats. They all have individuality. Unlike today’s cars.
Awesome. A luxury car with cloth seats. I hate leather seats. They are not comfortable and very high maintenance. What moron decided that leather seats were considered more luxurious than cloth?
Nate Thegreat since people considered it being luxurious leather from dead animals just like our counterparts who have $ and wear their furs
Nate Thegreat I believe the seat material was velour. Super soft and every plush riding 1980s Era land yacht had them. All my Pontiac Parisienne brougham models had velour seats. So comfy!!!
My '88 Fleetwood Brougham had leather seats and I loved them. Very comfortable and much easier to keep clean than velour, especially if you eat or have a beverage while you're driving. I also like that it had the big bench seats as well. I despise bucket seats, especially on long drives. My butt goes numb in them because you have such limited movement in a bucket seat, whereas on a bench seat you can slide to one side and lean a little, giving each cheek a rest, lol.
I had the same all over my bucket seats, doors, etc on my 85 Olds Calais. I'm still amazed when I look back at how such an economy car was so luxurious. I got lots of compliments on it back in the day. It was something rare GM got right in the 80s.
The problem with leather seats is that you have to condition them to keep them in good condition.
I had one of these, one of the few old cars that had all the accommodations and comfort of a new one.
My favorite era of GM cars. So quiet and comfortable. Back when luxury meant total isolation from everything. This is a very well-kept example of it. Excellent!
140 hp in such a big heavy car. glad technology has improved so much, even a 4 banger with 140 hp is considered a wimp nowadays.
Yep torque is key
All the pollution control crap doesn't help either.
They actually make more than 140 hp. Its true that this car made 140 hp at a certain rpm but what the manufacturer didn't tell insurance companies is that if you revved the engines up another thousand rpms you got another 100 hp. It was a half truth told so people could get cheaper insurance.
Torque is where it is.
Phil Ricci there's no replacement for displacement. I love my Cadillac 425 yes it may not be a racing engine but then again it was never meant to be. These cars are real treasures. It's a shame they don't make them anymore.
"Moving sofa with V8 rumble" :)
Living room on wheels sailing through the streets
That car is the emperor in gta v lol
Excellent example! I actually have the same car in the same color, except mine has the d'Elegance package which basically gets you even thicker seats and some extra badging. The 307 can be love-hate as mentioned, particularly for those who get an old one and don't understand it. When tuned correctly and tweaked with a couple of easy-to-do adjustments, though, the engine can be pretty pleasant as it has decent low-end torque and is virtually bulletproof from the perspective of reliability.
Nope, that Cadillac hasn’t seen more than me, that vehicle was hatched out of the factory in 1988, I was hatched in 1984.
I remember 1988 quite well.
It's amazing how well that car held up after 29 years. It makes me feel old, being only 1 year older than me and seeing how much cars have changed in that timeframe.

Can't make this shit up folks

You need to go outside more 🤔
Not a British accent, but I'm not being suckered into a troll's post
i don't like this crossover episode
Some people want more, not just a little bit. This is your life and your the only one who’s living it. Let’s go, let’s live, let’s love every mile! The only way to travel is Cadillac Style!!
Beautiful car and well loved by the look of it. Though that cross-brace tubing over the engine seems like it could be dangerous in a frontal hit. Doesn't look well thought out.
Still, a beautiful and stylish car that deserves to continue to be cared for long into the future.
Pillowtop seats. Enough said
Man I really love your content.
Keep it up!
Wood , leather and pillows that's royalty .
Nothing gives the ride experience of an old Caddy!
This reminds me of my first car, a 1986 Fleet wood Brougham with the D'elegance package. A lot of fun for 16 year old new driver me and I also loved the finger steering. Mine was really beat up though and it had trouble with idling so I had to get mine going. In the future after I finish studies I'd get another if I have a garage to keep it in.
Too bad you had to sell it, this one had a very bad idle when i bought it, turned out to be a few vacumm hoses that was incorrectly installed, so i ended up replacing the hoses and tuning the carb, it solved it all!
Mine had the vacuum troubles too but it still was alright for me to drive!
New cadillacs come with check engine.
Very nice. I love those old cars so much. Sure they're underpowered and inefficient by today's standards but they have far more character than anything made in basically the last 25 years
i wonder what your neighbors think whenever you make a video because you are always yelling
*THIS* IS THE *REAL CAR.* Others look like Lego toys.
Why is that living room equipped with a v8?
Love it...a time when good handling meant light steering... look at it wallowing all over the road.
Nice Caddy. Sure love to take that for a Sunday drive somewhere. Like in Texas
My neighborhood was full of these cars while I was growing up. Absolutely amazing that it still has the ORIGINAL VINYL ROOF.
Man that's car is a beast. So cool looking. I'm surprised Cadillac was using carb all the way until 1989... I would that though that die out by the early 80s when fuel injection was starting to come around.
I find that interesting as well. I am daily driving a 1986 chevrolet c10. That was the last year for the truck to come carbureted. The next year in 1987, the trucks came equipped with Throttle body injection for the first time. I thought that it was the last carbureted vehicle ever as well, until I saw this video. So I certainly learned something new today.
Renault 11 used carburator till 1995
Luxury cars, especially American, have a weird timeline with technological updates. Because of their price, they are likely to be the first to offer something new, like a CD player in the 80's. Yet their older, more conservative customer base is less likely to move past a certain point. So they still had cassette tape players as standard equipment through the 2000's.
I had a 1989 Dodge Ram Van- that was the first year they used throttle body injection
JRobert111111 no, 1989 Brougham had a computer controlled (Qudrajet) carburetor
Love your work Scotty!!! Congrats on 1,000,000 subs! Keep up the good work bud! 🍻🍻🍻
thanks for the support👍
I have a 67. Love it. Built like a fucking tank.
I owned a 1986 Ford ltd brougham from 2007-2013. Paid $300 for it, and it was amazing. I had no idea caddy had a brougham
Growing up in my early teens we had a '77 LTD Brougham. As an adult I had an '88 Fleetwood Brougham. I love land yachts.
Rebel9668 neat! Oh man, you got that right. Gotta swing that bitch to park it
I bet you'll find a complete set of old Champion plugs for this car in Scotty's garage.
Dope Scotty keep up the good work let's not feature any new Garbage cars keep the old skool comin

Always liked those Cadillacs!
I'm a Swede born in 1989 so this felt very close to home. :) Haven't seen Canada though so jealous of the car!
Kim Hjalmarsson I like the Volvo more so than most American cars
Volvo Toyota: Smart man
Trisdoo o Thanks...
Most cars have seen more of the world than me... I haven't been anywhere
I love you crazy swedes
We gotta sort things out in ur garage one day Scotty :)
I once drove in 89 Fleetwood Brougham and as someone who has rarely ever driven bigger than a Camry I thought this car drove like a waterbed. Definitely a passenger car and not a driver oriented one LOL. I love how this guy loves his car. As a man who is in love with my 2000 Camry with 400k miles on her I completely understand and have much respect even if the rest of the world doesn't.
Nice , I have a 91 coupe deville red outside and inside
Cool bro I have a 89 coupe
Love those big cars
Hey Scotty, I have a 2008 Pontiac G6 and my turning signals work fine on the dash and the bulbs are also fine, but when I signal it doesn’t make that clicking noise that all cars make. What do you think I can do?
I had an 86 FWB DeElegance. Still my favorite Caddy, favorite car period. When I sold it at action, it had over 500,000 on it, and the engine had never needed anything more than a carb, and valve cover gaskets. Transmission had never been apart. Did destroy 2 rear ends though. But still my fav. I currently have a 2010 STS, which doesn't ride like Cadillac should, and a 95 Fleetwood, same wheelbase as the one in the video but different body style, and with the LT1.
Just a tidbit of info, in 77 GM downsized their big cars. Cadillac went from 131/133 inch wheel bases to 121.5 inches. Coincidentally the older pre 1977 Chev Impala and Caprice were 121.5 inches before being downsized to 116 inches. I have always wondered if Cadillac just used the older Chev frame to build their downsized cars 1977-1996
There was a band in the mid-1980s that had a song "Slick Black Cadillac", Quiet Riot, loved that song! Surprising to see a 1989 vehicle with a carburetor, my 1982 Plymouth Reliant had throttle-body EFI.
I have a 2008 gmc dually that went into many countries starting from New York (USA) 2008 to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Dubai (UAE), Back to USA last year, Then another 10,000 miles or more between the states ( currently in Arkansas )
I had a 1987 version of that car.
I also had a 1977 Buick Electra.
They were very similar cars, but the Electra was much nicer and much more powerful.
They were also both downsized cars....
It is funny to hear people talk about the 1989 Brougham as though it is a large car. I have a 1976 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe. A two door car with 155 more cubic inches, 12 inches longer, a thousand pounds heavier, several inches wider, and still quicker due to the still inadequate but much higher power.
That vintage Brougham is a very, very sad car. No power, no mohair, no velour seats.... ugh...
The only good thing about the GM C body cars is how you could get the rear sliding and stear the front and twist around corners 10 to 15 mph faster than you can in a CTS-V today.
And the body roll on those cars was hillarious. It would roll until you were sitting at a 45 degree angle, but no weight would shift, so if you ignored the gaudy looking body roll you could still out-corner the bitches in their similar year BMW's and Audi's.
I miss those dinky little C body cars. (C became FWD in 1987 so the Broughams were "D" body cars although there were no changes to the platform. Too confusing.)
I got a Cadillac Eldorado -88 ,hard-top,bucketseats ,console with t-handle-skift .In the garage stands a Corvette -84.I`m retired sins 4years (69yrs) and lives in Sweden.Hi there Scotty K.!
I know everything about these cars they ran 80 to 92, coupe Deville 2dr, 4dr Fleetwood 80 to 85 2dr very sought after in lowriding work also convertible unicorn cabriolet 1982 made from coupe Deville's at couch building company. guys take 85 2dr Euro it with 92 Fleetwood 4dr parts side plastics and all
Bravo.!!!
Two thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼for your effort to maintain that beautiful machine.. but i am wondering how such a big, heavy and V8 engine only produces 140hp? Did i heard it right?
Nothing like a old caddy it's not that old but still a good made caddy. New ones are crap
Personally I prefer the 70's vivontagcaddies, they had 472cu mills th400 transmission, Rochester thermal quad carburetor. hi way gears and super plush seats. 20+mpg was not unheard of.
Nice Caddy. Still like the current lineup, but they’ve come into line with German luxury values, styling notwithstanding. It’s probably better overall, but this is even more uniquely American than the current cars. Very cool in Sweden. 👍
What do you think would be a good mod for my car? Right now I'm running a 3.7 mustang with full exhaust and a custom tune I prepared for it.. I'm not entirely sure how much horsepower but I'm pulling on stock 5.0s by half a car not sure why
Love all the Eurotrash in the comments whining about Americans and their bloated cars, yet every time I've seen anyone from Europe visiting over here, they've rented the *biggest* SUV they could find. And it's usually just a single person, no physical reason to rent anything bigger than a subcompact. One guy managed to find an International CXT to rent at one of those exotic rental places, should have seen the smile on his face...
I only ever drove one of these once...it floated like a Boat and ran like a Tank. A totally awesome and well looked after vehicle! Almost looks like it came right out of the factory! Gee Whizz...I wonder if Johnny Cash might have any Spare Parts on hand for it??? Will Trade for Swedish Meat Balls!
Apparently Cadillacs are popular in Sweden. There are a couple of Swedes on FAST & LOUD that fly to the U.S. just to buy Cadillacs.
Had the Buick LeSabre with the same engine. Vacuum hoses were a problem as the plastic connectors dried out and cracked, causing vacuum leaks. The Caddy version was much quieter on the road, but used more gas as it was much heavier. My mother had the Caprice, and of the three it had the best performance with the Chevy 305ci small block.
