I'm not 70 or 80, but I would proudly drive this car. We sold my grandparents Fleetwood last year for $8500! It had about 10k fewer miles, the same as yours except for it being black on tan. I can't wait to bid on this when you send it down the road!! Please let us know.
@@thomasmadden2258 no it has a 5.7 V8. Same engine as the corvettes of the day.
@@briank3799 yes, the same, except with iron piston heads rather than aluminum for more torque and less HP since this car is such a boat.
This takes me back. When I was 20 working at an insurance agency, the president drove a Fleetwood identical to this one. Guy had an 8 figure net worth, could have had any car in the world, but all he wanted was one of these. You'd never know he was loaded by looking at either his house or his car. I learned a lot about life from him, he was like another grandpa to me.
My 94 Fleetwood got 26mpg. Even with almost 300k on the LT1! I had the transmission rebuilt and installed a shift kit and stall converter. Those upgrades really helped with the performance.
8:51 And that is why you let the hood fall the last 8 or 10 inches instead of letting it down slowly and then push like a maniac on it.
You will avoid getting nice little dents on it, just like in the video.
How many hoods I've seen with those dents when they're easily avoidable. 😥
I saw that dent unfortunately
I know right
Love the Caddy! I have a 96 Town Car, so I know how great these old v8 RWD cars can be, and I’m a teenager, so it’s not just the old folks that love these old American luxo-barges!
good job denting the hood at 8:50 !
Man, what a fantastic old car. As a lad in the UK my first job was working on imported GM trucks and Cadillac, I loved driving as a 19 year old lad. Brings back cool memories Randy.
I seen that dent you just put in the hood closing it. 😊 Nice find tho.
Bro I yelled at my damn phone when you dented the hood trying to close it @8:53 🤦🏻♂️🤣
10 cars on the yard.... thats what got me hooked on your channel, keep doing it, love the fleetwood, I would drive that around town, thanks.
What a great looking Fleetwood! Those whitewall tires would look real sweet on it as well. Nice find Randy these are getting rare now.👍👌
hello Randy in my opinion, you better keep the two Cadillac because it is sure that their value will increase. I am in France in Europe and all the old cars have their odds exploding it will be the same thing with you because it is also the end of an era with petrol engines, so all these cars will be very rare , continue your great videos
I have always loved these cars! When I was selling cars I had a customer bring in a Buick Roadmaster that was nearing 500,000 miles, still purred like a kitten! I would definitely daily drive one of these if I ever come across one in good shape!
Hope your feeling better Randy!! She’s a beauty love these old big caddy’s! Real clean and sounds great! I would pay 7k for it! I haven’t seen one of these in a long time! Like to see more content on the probe and Subaru.
I have a '92 and a '96 Brougham. I love them both. Specialty Motors usually lets that car go for about $7900. The Chevrolet Caprice continued on to 1996.
I will never not love and admire these cars. The old big comfy Cadillacs are a special breed of car and are honestly my favorite. There were plenty of other amazing comfy old American cars, but for me at least, this era of Cadillac still stands out as special.
I had the Roadmaster woody Wagon version with Flowmaster 44s and it made a perfect sound, no drone but rumble when you want it.
Hold the trunk button down for a few seconds. If it has a remote start, press the other button either 1 long press or 2 times normal press.
you would be surprised at how much people actually want these old caddy’s randy. im 20 and i used to search facebook marketplace every few hours for a few months straight looking for early late 80s-92 Cadillac Brougham, they are such big beauty’s. i found did finally find a gorgeous one with low miles for $1200. they come and go quickly on marketplace when they’re cheap!
Wow, I never would've guessed that a car that recent would have the fuel filler behind the license plate - my old '68 Cougar was that way! Never seen a locking mechanism for one of those either. Cool!
You need your own warehouse. Then you can store a car like this - $4500 sounds a little high to me, but I'm not up on the market. I'd look at how many were produced, and try to get an idea of how many survive. If it's rare, keep it, and it may well appreciate. I'm guessing they didn't make a whole lot of those cars. I'd want to take a look at that trunk lock before buying any parts.
I had an 1986 Bro Ham the trunk problem is from people slamming it, not using the soft close feature. I owned a limo service back then and customers used to slam my trunks all the time. It’s the latch it needs to be replaced. Simple fix. Love 💕 the gas cap feature wish I had that. Horn sounds a little off also. I had Vogue white wall tires those are the recommended tires.
This is a bittersweet video to watch. I love the Fleetwoods. My grandparents had a 1994. We were the second owners and bought it when it was 9 years old after the prior owner blew the engine up. Sadly the car was destroyed in the Florida hurricane last year. The water line was up to the doors and that was all she wrote. We had just put new tires on it, a new transmission, and rebuilt the front suspension too.
I would LOVE whitewalls on this Caddy! Hankook Optimos give the BEST whitewalls for your buck!
Personally, I would LOVE to have this car. There is a market for 90s classics, the demand is higher in certain places such as the PNW or the Southwest!
There really is a good market for these. The 96 Impala SS, 96 Roadmaster, & 96 Fleetwood are the most desirable years!
8:45 I'm not the only one that seen him put a dent in the hood when he closed it right 😬😬😬😂😂
@@apache3130 oh my God, I can't believe he did that!
This car is a dream ride . The ride on clouds . The v8 torque is very good nice for touring car.
I've had a 90 Brougham and a 95 Fleetwood Brougham. I love these with a passion. I'll be looking for it for sale! I'm in Springfield MO. And yes I'm only 28. I don't throw big rims or nothing on them. I just love the way they ride.
Another thing you might just need a fuse for the trunk because it didn't pull down and also the button didn't work in the glove box so that might be all it needs checked out first before you order a motor.
I think people are starting to look for these as they are the last "real" Cadillac. Since these were the expensive high-end model made for only four years there were not many made and fewer in decent condition left. As far as the trunk motor, I have to replace one on my GTA and I hear it can be a pain getting the alignment correct if you don't have everything marked before disassembly.
Randy I love how you show these old cars some love I drive a 1995 Camry in excellent condition 🥰🥰🥰
I love these cars. I only buy '90s cars. '96 is a good year. Though I don't like soft close trunks. I have learned that keeping the tire pressure low prevents the car from going sideways and spinning tires. Getting my car road legal has been frustrating but I love driving it. My cars tend to have lots of issues but run perfectly the day I sell them.
Why are no cars made like this boat anymore? Never driven one, but in Arabia, big shots used to have like this caddy. What a memory it is. Great content Randy
These Cadillacs drive and ride amazing! Very torquey too! And yes, whitewalls would make the car! Try some whitewall tire cleaner and a Mr.Clean eraser on the vinyl top! Works great and then some vinyl conditioner!
That's a great cruiser for your trips to Indiana and back. Hold for for a little while and enjoy that old Cadillac.
If I had the money, I would buy it. I absolutely love comfy cruisers.
My dream has come true!! A video on this Fleetwood Caddy! THANKS!!!
Out of all the ones that I see that you have lined up....the only two that I would consider keeping are the FLeetwood and the Seville! I'm an old Cadillac/Lincoln guy from way back and there isn't anything like a Land Yacht in my book! I'm partial to the 70's and 80's DeVille's and Fleetwoods but I'd be hard pressed parting ways with that 96 Fleetwood! A little TLC and that baby would be a blast to own!
One of the best cars ever built, i love mine
My Grandfather Had that Exact Make& Model but he had Grey interior!
He had Caddy's his Whole Life but he alway's said this was the Best One He Had
Great Video Randy! I'm surprised the top on that car is in such good shape considering the vent was melted over several years.
I have a 1990 Lincoln Town Car with 102,000 miles. I love driving it! I've always loved the old ones. Love your videos!
That Caddy is quite nice. I remember looking at getting a Seville at one point. Just the look of them is enough.
the lights button should turn on the interior lights. my dad had a 98 blue with white interoir one of these in the early 2000's, it is a nice, but BIG car to drive. man this brought by good memories of my dad. thanks for the content!
I likethe 96 Fleetwood. I used to work for a dealer and he had a few of these in the 75 or 76 models. They are great to drive if they are kept up.
If I didn't live in LA, I'd drive this.
I'm not 80, 29 in a month, but man, I like this car.
Rode in a '75 Fleetwood had the 500 in it , man it was a great experience felt like we were floating. Ever get the chance to buy one I'd swoop it up and put it on the channel .
Randy I would like to see on this TH-cam channel Cadillacs GMC Infiniti and some old classic vehicles and how to program a key fob for the vehicle you have
man i love that caddy.. im about to turn 40, and have been looking for one.. in south flordia with alot more miles and not as nice interior i see them asking between 7 and 10k.. but they usually have new tires lol.. wow 2002 rear tires.. shes been sleeping along time
Love the B and C body cars. I have them all the way back to the 50's. Had a few Impala SS cars as well. Best platform GM ever made.
As.a 56 yr old guy . I'd keep that caddy and drive it everyday. Love the land yachts .
As a 25 year old dude, same. So comfy, I'd keep it alongside my LS430.
Love these vehicles…every time I see one, reminds me of Tony “Sopranos”
I feel like these cars like this and road masters, crown vics etc.. will rise in value. There's nothing like them being made today. I'd drive that caddy anywhere
I love these old Caddy’s. Great find Randy!!
The last of it's kind, a full frame and no freak wheel drive. Excellent.
Randy, do not sell the Cadillac. This car will be worth so much more in just a few years. Please keep it!
If that trunk is a power pull down version then just tap on the motorized latch while holding the switch down on the trunk itself, let it motorized up & down once or twice and it should come back to life, my 98 deville does it all the time
My 88 trans am does this too, worth a shot
Woohoo!!!! Now THAT'S a road-trip worthy Cadillac!! The Allante is.......well, not. But you guys could cruise to the car show in style. Just pull a power seat control off a junkyard car, and rattle can it if you can't match it. Awesome car Randy!!
(HELPFUL HINT - do what Hoovie did and put on a throaty exhaust) 👍
G'evening Randy ☕☕☕ 😀 . Nice find. I love the 90s fleetwoods. It's one of my favorite highway / interstate runners 🙃 .
I have been looking for a 1996 Fleetwood off and on now for a little bit. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for when this one is ready to be sent down the road.
My great grandmother just gave me a mint garnet red with red top 1996 Fleetwood Brougham. Having it shipped up next month. 22k miles and no rust. Leather is pristine.. just an absolute gem. Can't wait to get her detailed and chrome shinning.
Great deal on this one! I’m looking at these along with Town Cars for daily drivers. They last forever and very comfortable!
Randy, you know damn well you want to keep that Cadillac and you know it’s fucking style, way better than the new shit nowadays
I'd proudly drive this beautiful classic land yacht who cares if it's older than myself I love the old land yachts
I live that Subaru Randy 😀 . We had one. Drove it 900 miles from Boise to Durango CO. In the middle of November and ran that thing all over the Rocky mountains for a couple years w/o issue. It'd be nice to have another one but I haven't seen one around here for sell for a while 😋
You are so right @ 2:44 I sold my 08 Crown Vic after 4 years of ownership. I never had starting issues in the 4 years I had that car. I kid you not as soon as the new owner took possession of the car she wouldn't start. There was a loud click then he tried again it started. I said to myself shes pissed 'lol'
That is an amazing deal. Those Fleetwoods are such amazing cars. There may not be a huge market for these, but they're not cheap, value is going to up and it has already started. They make my Grand Marquis and even the Town Car look like piles of scrap, and I'm okay with that. They both have their advantages, but Fleetwood for the win.
I love my ‘96. Mine has 93k on it and I am the second owner. These cars will ROLL when they are running right. Everyone talks about the Opti-Spark but it ain’t that bad. It’s the last true body-on-frame Cadillac RWD sedan, those who love these big body Caddy Fleets really love them.
Love the Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham! They ride and Drive Great, Grand parents always had a New Cadillac in the Garage at all times until they decided to get Lincoln’s and a few times I can remember they had a Fleetwood and a Town Car! Grandma loved them both! And I agree Whitewall Tires would Look a whole lot better on it!!!
4:44 If all else fails, that looks like something that could be fixed by modeling in some JB Weld, using a spatula of sorts and a dremel for the finishing touches. If it's an actual weak point, enlarging the screw hole to accommodate a washer may be useful. It does look like a reasonably large-head screw to begin with, no doubt because they knew they were dealing with plastic.
Using the dremel with a cutting disc may also help the melted defrost vent do its job once again - it's not exactly looking pretty as-is so there isn't much to lose.
Neat ol' boat. Anachronistic even by 1996 standards, sure, but classic 20th century American luxury nonetheless. Not sure whether I've ever seen any of these over here, there can't have been many. Seeing this one reminded me of the old William DeVaughn soul song, "Be Thankful for What You Got".
Videos are getting good again, good job… time for some will it make it videos… oh and we noticed the dent you made with your hand on the car hood closing it… whoopsie daisies
I have a 1992 Buick Roadmaster and let me tell you, I get more offers from people who would pay me good money to take it off my hands. My engine is the 5.7 version and it rides great. I don't think you will have any problem selling that great looking Cadillac.
Looks like randy is turning mafia with that Cadillac lol
I love the Caddy white walls would definitely make it pop curb feelers
I hope you feel better now Randy, always look forward to a new video.
The digital dash reminds me of my old 91 Brougham I used to have. I miss the way it would just float down the road. Beautiful car you got there
I would love to have that half ton pickup truck that red and white one
I love those old big Caddys. They are basically the same as the 96 Buick Roadmaster. As Vice Grip Garage says you need a nice going-to-town rig.
Nice looking car for its age Randy 👍 shame you dented the bonnet pushing shut
I caught that too, but I went back and looked, and it was dented before he opened it - it's hard to see, but it's there.
@@DanEBoyd fair enough 👍
I just fixed the soft close on the exact same car, the switch you pushed has a open and close contact under it, the flimsy contacts get warn and it doesn't touch completely, open the switch and bend the contact back and it will work
So clean brother I would love one of these one of the best years other then 82-84
One neat 96 Fleetwood u can tell it use to belong to older person my thought was going be a 50,000 mile car 81,000 almost near 100,000 but runs like a boat & definitely needs whitewalls tires it's a Caddy even tho didn't see alot cars from 90s with whitewalls.
If you take that girl to Florida you'll get rid of it so fast ..cause all they do is put a sound system and rims on it... you got yourself a winner
I have a mint example of that Cadillac (and have featured it on my channel ). Mine is also white with Blue leather. Great price. Mine wS a lot more.
Got dang randy being rough with that trunk lid lust latch it easily click it in no slam down!
Looks like a 6 grand car as it sits. Fleetwoods (and the Buick Roadmaster) have always been on my radar and have become a bit of an obsession as of late. Want something more classic but man… Big boats make me smile. I had a 07 grand marquis as a daily and even though my current Passat is faster, handles better and is every bit as comfortable and floaty on the highway it still isn’t the same.
Yeah you have a really nice car that does cause much to look nice real diamond in the rough. I love them. I’m on my second one and will always love the third one.
An old boss of mine had a 1996, the reason he bought a newer one was that a computer module went out, and could be dring down the street and his trunk would pop open and other things happened as well!
""Low And Wide Cadillac Ride.""..........It's like the saying "" Corvette, Wrap your Ass In Fiberglass, Top class Suicide"" Gm has all kinds of slogans, but the first 2 are my favorites
AWESOME car! I cringed when you dented the hood while closing it though.
Really solid car. Real clean and powerful. Caddies are one of those luxury cars that needs white walls to make them look really nice.
I think tks garage would buy that in a heartbeat ! The last of the real rear wheel drive !
love these old cadillacs had one for a short time enjoyed it a lot wish I could get this one just don't have the money now but if I did I would call you right now and try and buy it😉
Definitely a sweet bro-ham bro
Keep the Cady!! Get wrapped!! 22in Daytons!! Vouge tires with the gold stripe!! Tint the windows!! Beautiful car FAM!!
That's one sweet ride!
Sweet find 👌 I've been itching to turn one of those into a sleeper. Boost and a manual swap maybe.
I had a black 1995 Fleetwood in 2013 and I was 33 love these. Paid 3100.00 for mine with 91k miles back in 2014
The start of the caddy collection
Also…. Cadillacs of the 80’s and 90’s always have a plush ride without the body roll, if you want body roll, find a Lincoln. Train horn… yeah. I’d drive that, but I already have one… sitting on 1.5” whitewalls. Lol
You have discovered part of the reason why the Roadmaster and Brougham of this generation command the prices that you noted, particularly with low mileage. I have owned my 1992 Roadmaster for six years and have probably driven it about 10,000 miles in that time -- they are quiet, good riding cars that are exce4ptionally stable on the highway. At 86,000 miles, my Roadmaster is still relatively low mileage and in my area would likely draw around $,6000 to $7,000 on the used car/collector car market. Its two weaknesses are doughnut gaskets on the exhaust pipes and resonators, but other than that, it has been regular maintenance items. The one irritation is finding a shop that can align this car in my area as most refuse as they tell me their alignment racks require that the top of the rear tires be visible to the alignment equipment when the car is sitting on their rach -- and the rear wheel wells on these cars hide the top of the rear wheel. I have really enjoyed the appearance of my car with the Vogue whitewalls with the gold stripe -- excellent handline along with long wearing.
“probably belonged 2 an older person” is the understatement of the new year.😀(I would love 2 have that Celica).
