1987 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham review from North America
"Old-school class"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced bad alternator at 240,000 miles.
Replaced bad battery cables at 244,000 miles.
The cloth on my ceiling is starting to fall off.
Some rusting near the rear wheel wells.
Antenna won't come up all the way.
The engine was replaced at 100,000 miles, for reasons I don't know.
General comments?
It is the best in uniqueness; no one else that I know has the same type of car that I do. It always stands out in the school parking lot.I have only seen 1 car that looks just like mine out of the millions I have seen on the streets. That's pretty awesome.
Although the gas mileage isn't the best in the world (10 mpg) and the acceleration is pitiful, the class and cruising speeds make up for it.
It has the best ride you can ever have and it's seat controls let you sit low and back, just the way you should in a Caddy.
I have the original paint (light blue) on it and it still looks good, but I might need a new paint job in 2 years or so.
And if you want to feel secure in your car, but don't want an SUV, just get this tanker. I sure do feel secure.
