For when you need to take all of your homies with you. I've heard that funeral limos like this have all the seats facing forward instead of sideways or backward like a party limo so that the occupants don't have to stare at each other during an emotional time. It's also more dignified to get into the 6 door rather than a 4 door stretch. Funeral limos don't seem to be much of a thing any more, most funeral homes seem to just have everyone process in their own cars following the hearse. The Fleetwood is the last of the Cadillac land yachts and looks good in a reserved way. The '96 was the last Cadillac to have the train horn. This is another comment reminding you to honk the horn in old Cadillacs. You'll like the sound.
this cadillac had a messed up wire harnass (part of why i couldnt get the stereo all the way in) and somehow would ground through the horn, if you use the turn signal it would honk with the signal :P I never use the horn on any of my cars so i never bothered to track it down.
I can see in the trunk they put that wall in the front, thats where the heating and cooling system for the back goes. In a normal sedan the trunk has more space and the spare sits farther forward
I love this!!! I have one I've driven daily since 2020. I absolutely love my Caddy, I had 2 roadmasters previously so once I found this it was a must. My second seat does flip face forwards or backwards, and it is a eureka Coach too!Best car I've ever owned in my 35 years of driving!!❤️
That's interesting because I've had no problem with white wall tires getting flats regardless of the terrain I drove on....also I'm a former limo driver....
Great job on the video, and i got the same feeling you did when i saw this vehicle on ebay in 2015, it just called to me. really wish i had pulled the cables for the dash cams, when you see it every day from the driver's seat you dont really notice it. Of note i've used this for a few weddings, proms, and alot of road trips, though not so much now that the MPGs have dropped down into the mid 20s, used to get ~30mpg on the highway(45-55MPH) and ~27mpg on the interstate(65-80MPG)
I forget the channel name but the guy just revived Richard Petty’s personal limousine, A Mid 70’s Cadillac, been sitting some 20+ years. Him and the King’s grandson got it running from the tree line.
I wonder if this was a Commercial Chassis limo like the hearse you reviewed. if it was, it should have had that same 14 bolt semi float 3/4 ton truck axle underneath as well.
FYI - There should've been cupholders that fold out from inside that center armrest.

No I believe 99 was the last year, unless it depended on when the redesigns came for each car.
My '98 DeVille has the train horn.

Truer words have never been spoken!
This car has a cup holder. Open the armrest. It folds out.
But it would still fail his test
It also just might not be in there because it is removable.
Terrible cup holder but tis a cup holder lol. I'm assuming it's the same as my roadmaster
Checker automobile company in Kalamazoo, Mi. made an 8 door version of this type of limousine called Checker Marathon Aerobus from 1962 until 1975..

You made an excellent purchase! I have a ‘95 Caprice cop car and it’s well used up. I kick myself everyday for not getting a Fleetwood!
Nice to see you review that Cadillac limo, Zack!
As always, I really enjoyed the review video so much.^^
You should review an actual Cadillac series 75 limo. Not a 3rd party stretch.
He reviews everything. He'll get to it in time, if he hasn't already lol
Just need someone to offer it up within reasonable travel distance
These sectioned sedans make people forget what a "real" limo was. I owned a 1975 Cadillac series 75

Cross Country Family Truckster
Partition would be good for the kids in the back.
Luv the final thoughts thought
Actually Superior Coach was the Big Coach Builder Back in the day
Review a Federal coach one day please
If the coach builder used a same chassis roadmaster or caprice wagon we could have had a 4 row car lmao
Just a gm b body
sweet. engine was also used in the IMPALA SS.
Beautiful.
Would like to drive this daily....
After this car, a review of a bus would be fitting 😅
I have a ‘00 Chevy 3500 mini school bus he can review. It’s converted to a Skoolie / camper
no cup holder. don't worry about train gravel don't matter . i remember my grandparents😅
Since it's a 3 row I'm gonna call it the Escaleetwade ESV

Do the windows in the middle set of doors roll up and down?
Cool car with a great purpose!
I use to have one of these me and the boys got for 1400$ during COVID ended up trading it for a ex cop car crown vic with all the cop stuff still in
So cool!
Review an early to mid 70's Cadillac. They're huge and not modified. Very floaty and ridiculous.
💯👍, I believe he has done a late 70’s smog era one.
BLUE!!!
AKA: Funeral Home Car!
Is that steering wheel the same as a ls400 wheel
As time has gone on, the idea of a limousine seems to ridiculous. It used to scream “wealth” and “class” but just seems kind of trashy today.
So cool
Nice
😊
Aren't you supposed to blur out the license plate?
Rest of the life will suck too…😂😂😂😂
Limo or minivan
