Cadillac Fleetwood – A quick review!

Renamed Fleetwood in a restyle for 1993, this big traditional rear-drive sedan gained dual airbags and four inches in length. More-rounded than the old Brougham, the mid 1990s Fleetwood was built on the same platform used by the Buick Roadmaster and Chevrolet Caprice. In this case, though, the chassis was stretched five inches for a 121.5-inch wheelbase. At 225 inches overall, Fleetwood was the longest production car built in the U.S. Initial Fleetwoods held a 185-horsepower V8, with 4-speed automatic transmission and air suspension. Standard traction control and antilock brakes made this rear-drive sedan an all-weather vehicle. Dual airbags were installed, and head room grew an inch in the rear, leg room 2.7 inches. The Fleetwood name was used on the top of the Cadillac line since 1927. In 1946, Cadillac created a special version of the Series 60 Special called the “Series 60 Special Fleetwood”. The Fleetwood name was then used to designate the top of the line trim of the Series 70 and Sixty Special models through 1976.

Year to Year Changes:

1994 Cadillac Fleetwood: Tucking a Corvette-derived LT1 engine under the hood of a Fleetwood gave this traditional-size sedan a new personality. A new transmission with electronic controls helped take full advantage of the extra power. An optional trailer-towing package increased capacity to 7000 pounds.

1995 Cadillac Fleetwood: Traction control added an on-off switch. New platinum-tipped spark plugs were installed, along with transmission fluid that was intended to last 100,000 miles. Outside mirrors grew larger, sat farther forward, and incorporated a new foldaway feature.

1996 Cadillac Fleetwood: The final season for the traditional-size, rear-drive sedan, changes were few. A folding center armrest for the front seat included storage for cassettes and CDs, and dual cupholders.
