So, production of the Cadillac Fleetwood and Fleetwood Brougham will cease at the end of the 1996 model year. It is ironically fitting, given today's changing population, tastes, and new traditions, that the plant in which the Fleetwood and its sister ships the Chevrolet Caprice Classic and Buick Roadmaster are made is being converted to truck and sport-utility production. It's simple economics. And changing tradition. The massive egg-crate grille and bumpers are heavily chromed.
Bright trim surrounds the windows and lights, and highlights the massive sides of the car.
The upholstered roof, stainless steel-trimmed lower body panels, and whitewall tires add to the traditional appearance of the Brougham. The interior of the Fleetwood Brougham is every bit as traditional as the exterior. There are few sedans made that have more interior space. Front and rear shoulder room is well over five feet. The softly-padded bench seats are opulently upholstered with leather.
