1987 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham review from North America
"Very smooth, comfy and a great looker"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace all the brake lines including the proportioning valve because the car sat in a garage for 9 months. The engine had a terrible miss and would spit every once in a while. Could never tell if it would stall at a traffic light. Turned out to be a vacuum line. Runs excellent now.
General comments?
A lot of reviews I've read on this vehicle talked about the poor performance of the 307 Olds engine, but I've found that replacing the vacuum lines and setting the timing gives the engine all the power she needs.
