Meet the new king of the cruise-in night. This 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham is one of the longest sedans Cadillac ever sent out into the world. With such a low-mileage, loaded A/C interior, and well preserved/maintained presentation, you'll instantly understand why long and low classic Caddys are always in demand.
The Fleetwood Brougham was about being the top of the top. It not only announced you could afford a Caddy, but also be a part of the upper echelon within this very premium brand. So we're so glad to see this period of opulence correctly represented today. Calumet Cream is a terrific 1970s-style color. It has a particularly nice luster today thanks to a respray within the last five years. The dark brown vinyl roof completes this the package from a time when earth tones were the coolest. Originally, the extra-long sleek lines announced to the world you were enough of a big shot to take up acreage on the highway. Today, this premium sedan has matured into a stylish reputation in the market where it looks authentic right down to the perfect plastic fender end-caps (not many survived on these Caddys.) Plus, all the bright work details you want are correct. This includes the large front bumper with its bold arrow pointing forward, the imposing grille, turbine-style wheel covers, trim on the rear fender skirts, and the upright rear light housing that gave these Cadillacs a hint of the iconic tail fin.
The 40,829 miles on this car are believed to be original, and a quick look at the interior will convince you of this easy life. In fact, this car spent most of its life with one owner, and it was so well maintained, his widow sold it back to the original dealer. The interior has been extraordinarily well preserved, and even the wood applique trim on dash, door panels, and steering wheel look terrific. The leather seats have the kind of comfort of pillow-top armchairs. Plus, you have fold down arm rests so you can decide if you want to bring along all your family and friends in comfort, or just give a few of the right people personal luxury space. Besides just the room to relax, this Caddy has plenty of comfort for the driver with features like power seats, power windows, tilt wheel, power locks, electric rear defrost, and cruise control. The air conditioning has even been converted to R134a so you can truly cruise in comfort.
1976 was the last year for the monstrous 500 cubic-inch V8 motor. Not only do get the pride of the largest engine ever installed in a Caddy, but also this is the original motor to the car. Emission regulations of that era had started to take out some of the horsepower, but this Caddy has no trouble moving because it still makes about as much torque as a modern V8 Chevy truck! The cruising attitude is heightened by a smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission, and a ride that can only come from a classic Caddy. Add in power steering and front disc brakes, and this is the large classic that's still effortless to drive in the modern world.
This well preserved and low mileage classic also comes with the right paperwork, such as the owner's manual and maintenance records. So when something this grand is also so affordable, you know you need to hurry if you want to take it home. Call now!
