1972 Cadillac series 75 sedan, just beautiful, I seen to recall a very similar car in the 1973 Film MAGNUM FORCE, the airport cine, you can see Clint Eastwood and David Soul, standing next to one just like this one.
Magnificent Exampleof Cadillac at it's finest when it truly was the Standard of the World! My late brother had a 68 75 FULL Limo! What an incredible vehicle. I had an 89 Brougham DeElegance DeElegance which had many similar interior features to this. Cadillac was evolutionary back then. 🏆. So 😔 sad to see çurrent so

The “Cadillacs “ today look like every other car on the road. Everything plastic! Very sad. I had 2 caddy limos about 30 years ago. Sure; they weren’t perfect but I wish I had held onto them
@@grazz7865 There really is not a Cadillac in the traditional Luxury Sedan line . Can't imagine an SUV or crossover arriving at a formal affair. Even limos are now glorified trucks 🚚
@@rick0e295 exactly. They now look like every other car on the road. Plastic bumpers. No chrome. No fishtails. 1977 began the downward trend. They used a plastic front. The hood no longer went all the way to the front. Engine went from a 500 to a 425. Power windows were slow. The fleetwood 75 had a sliding partition window like in NYC taxi cab! Pathetic! In 1980 they went back to the wide body but that HT4100 engine was a disaster. And now they look like every other car on the road
Nice and Straight body. Cubic inch displacement with the amount on people that could be passengers is worth fuel even in todays fuel prices. Great investment. To bad it has been sold.
Ah hah! You’re right about that. No 5mph bumpers yet, no filler pieces. I’m blessed my fillers on my ‘73 are still in good shape. Probably because it was garaged most of its life & the car is white, so it reflected harsh sun and UV rays.
Hi... my first car was 61 Ragtop Caddy....she was just 10 yrs old.....moved up to 64 Coupe Deville.....then to a 67 Coupe Deville.....Ive owned 8 Caddy's from 71 till now...I have a 16 XTS black.....she's my Princess...
@@MrTitan225: I'd like to have one of the older Cadillacs, and only recently have given up on that dream. I think running them (gas guzzlers) will become more costly with anticipated much higher fossil fuel taxes, and EPA regulations may ban them from the roads altogether unless they are converted to better fuel efficiency and fitted with catalytic converters. I could be wrong but don't need the aggravation.
As a child I remember going between our homes in Petersburg, Indiana and Plant City, Florida several times a year in a dark blue one like this. But we had one color, dark blue leather seats. Loved that car. On Pennyrile Parkway you'd think you were sitting still. Why isn't there a belt on the AC compressor?
Because people are intimidated by or do not want to spend the money it takes to get factory A/C working! In fact people will spend $50K-$100K on restoring a car and NOT bother with the A/C!! I will never understand this.
What’s the matter with the wrap? So long as it’s the traditional lacing type that matches the interior, it’s better than those big, tacky, stretchy, doughnut types; that you buy at Walmart. And besides, maybe he’s hiding cracks in the steering wheel- cracks I’d rather not know about!
The Fleetwood 75 series Formal Sedan to me is a great looking car,the 71 and 72 were just a beautiful car.The nice feature till 77 was the front and rear separate heater ac systems that shared the same A-6 compressor.They had the roof mounted ceiling vents and separate Climate control for the rear section with a power glass rear partition,and a separate radio controls that overruled the drivers .The last year for the true GM Cadillac produced Fleetwood 75 Formal Sedan Limosine was 1984.
This is the Queen Bee of Cadillac.....A new Cadillac Limo price would be $$$$$$ .. bucks .. Fleetwood 75 was the limo series for Cadillac …. the Fleetwood Brougham was the baby sedan of this model.... much smaller but very deluxe in options.....
Yes, if you back into a parking place with a sidewalk, you can hang the trunk over the sidewalk and have the front at a normal length. If you are pulling through a spot, you'll leave enough room for a smart car to park behind. Turning radius is quiet poor. Also prepare yourself for 6.5mpg city driving and 9.5 for freeway, the Series 75 have higher gearing which reduces mpg. These were made in two styles, ether with a partition/divider or family sedan style. The ones with a partition/divider isn't very comfortable to drive.
This was built by Cadillac, not a customizer. If I remember correctly, MSRP was something like $12,000! Comparison, a fully equipped 1972 AMC Ambassador wagon was just under $4500, and a mid-level Winnebago motor home could be had for under $15,000. Just a way to understand inflation a little better. Of course cars and RVs are arguably better quality, have more features (like more than just an AM radio) give more crash protection to their occupants, get somewhat better fuel economy, and pollute less. A 1970s Winnie was an aluminum siding covered, wood frame box on a Dodge truck chassis, rather than an integrally-designed unit on a purpose-built platform.
I love these cars. Have driven a 1971 formal limousine for business and owned a 1978 Long Sedan like this one for 5 years and enjoyed it very much. I would take the wreth & crest off the c pillar and the crest off the key holes. Is the vinyl roof spray painted? It shines. I am looking for a 1973 (or 1975/76) formal limousine for when I retire, as I probably will prefer not to drive myself, when pass 75 or so.
I agree... the wreath sould have been down and closer to back window.... that would be nice in my opinion..... like the 67 Eldorado did ...check one out and see what I mean.....Ive owned many Caddy's through the years......drive a XTS black now....
@@MrTitan225 I am a little ahead of time 😊 My daily driver from March - November is my Continental Mark IV. My Cadillac is a 1989 Sedan dé Ville, all digital and leather, custom built as a hearse in Denmark with large windows Danish style. Both my patents were driven in it in the 1990's. I plan to keep it for my final ride. Meanwhile I assist funeral homes as speciel request service.
@@MrTitan225 There has never been many, but they have always been here. I started driving my first 1973 Cadillac Coupe dé Ville in 1986, when I was 25. I stood out for sure, but I already had a reputation by then, why it didn't come as a surprise to people. Except for a 1 or 2 of my teachers in college. They hated it. Cadillac was my all year round daily driver untill 2002, when I bouth my Mark IV. Since then my car have been a March-November car, except for the 1989 Cadillac, which is insured to drive all year round, if requested. West PA is that West Pennsylvania? We went to see the Falling Water house in 2018 and also to the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals on the way back.
My 61 Cadillac ragtop was my first car...I was just 18 in 1971.....It seemed odd to my young friends that I liked Cadillac.....back in the 60's and 70's Cadillac was considered to be a older generation of car to own......Ive owned 8 Caddy's , have a Black XTS now.....Im 67.... I owned 61---64----67----84----92----2006-----2017 XTS
For me, 73 was the last great looking Caddy. 74 with the ugly rear bumpers, non inspiring dashboard, and Coupe De Ville fixed rear side windows were very much a disappointment.
what's an amazing car this car is way before my time but it's beautiful Cadillac is not a car that interest me I'm a BMW driver and the Lexus driver always have been this is a beautiful car maybe Cadillacs you try to make something like this again I don't like really big cars but if they can create something like this over again versus investing 52 $60,000 into Lexus what's 52 $60,000 to a BMW I will purchase this kind of Cadillac

I always liked that there was a space between the front and back doors, same on the regular Fleetwood of this year too.
Only the 1971 & 1972 had the filler piece between the front & rear doors. For 1973, the front door was widened.
Out of a exellence of great traditional! Cadillac 1972!
Very nice .By the 1980s Cadillac was becoming a shell of its former self,as was all GM cars.
Had the exact same thing 30 years ago. Paid 500 dollars for it. Was in good shape.
Should have kept it !
Ha! You and me both. I had 2 of them. A 1974 and a 1976. Sure; they weren’t perfect but I wish I had held onto them.
Nice and Straight body. Cubic inch displacement with the amount on people that could be passengers is worth fuel even in todays fuel prices. Great investment. To bad it has been sold.
Gorgeous Fleetwood Cadillac wow
Solid metal from tip to tail. No plastic filler-pieces to fill in gaps!
those filler pieces fadded in color from the harsh sun on them.....boy, that sucked huh ! My 1978 did just that
Ah hah! You’re right about that. No 5mph bumpers yet, no filler pieces. I’m blessed my fillers on my ‘73 are still in good shape. Probably because it was garaged most of its life & the car is white, so it reflected harsh sun and UV rays.
this the Caddy's ultimate ride....Queen Bee.....today's Escalade would move over for her ! The 75 Limo's ....$$$$
You see, this is a true Cadillac; a true American luxury FACTORY limousine. She is a thing of beauty, and I wish I could buy her.
This is the Utimate American Icon ride ! pure luxury ......Queen of all Caddy's including the big boy Escalade....

Don’t call it a she.
@@Samuelfish2k ..... I didn't
I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse
Beautiful!
What a Beauty!
One of my favorite years but you better do something quick about cancer growing under the C pillar vinal roof.
1972 body styles were classic!
I love my ‘72 Coupe deVille! My Dad had a ‘72 Sedan when I was a kid.
I’d have loved a 72, but 71 & 73 are equally acceptable in my book.
Beautiful American pride!!!!

That triple black short limo Caddy is bad ass!!
A short limo? Actually, it is a 9-passenger sedan (no partition window)
The ole man had a had a 72 sedan Deville..472 cubes 800cfm Q jet..large and in charge.
Love this caddy
Gorgeous car!!!
Bellissima
💈Little jump seats in back like a limousine 🎈
What color are the seats?
Beautiful Automobile.
Goody........
I see the Air isn't hooked up . Does it work at all ?
The Fleetwood 75 is the ultimate ride......The Hearse series by Cadillac is the final ride
This is the Queen Bee of Cadillac.....A new Cadillac Limo price would be $$$$$$ .. bucks .. Fleetwood 75 was the limo series for Cadillac …. the Fleetwood Brougham was the baby sedan of this model.... much smaller but very deluxe in options.....
Is it plausible to actually drive this around and park it?Just wondering because I want one very badly

I believe a corvette in 1972 went for about 6,000.
Perfect!!!
do you guys happen to have general bradley caddy from elpaso ?
Spectacular series 75. Looks to be the length of my 2 cars 😂 Anyone know the length of it?
26 feet. I had two of them. Wish I had kept them.
@@grazz7865 248.9 inches which is 20.7 feet. At their longest (1974-'76) they were 252.2 inches (21 feet).
