1987 Cadillac Brougham review from North America
"Wouldn't trade it for the world"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine has a oil leak, from rear seals, the motor will have to come out to repair that.
I might as well replace it with a rebuilt 350 motor, to add some power.
The headliner is also falling.
General comments?
This is my second Cadillac and I just love them, the smooth ride just cannot be beat.
I have the 307 motor, but it is a bit sluggish on the take off, I live in San Diego so there is a lot of hills to slow me down.
Beside that this car is great, however it just needs a little tender loving care.
Like a paint job, the velour interior needs to be cleaned there are no rips on the inside, nor are there any dents in the exterior.
This car is luxury at it's finest, even for a 17 year old car.
