1977 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, a recent addition to my collection.
221 inches bumper to bumper, 425ci Cadillac big block V8 fuelled by a standard Rochester Quadrajet and coupled to a TH400 3 speed auto. Floats like a cloud.
almost 10 mpg !
Hey now, I got 10 .6 mpg on my last tank…
Love the older ones like 49 with the big mean grill. Not a fan of the rear though.
That’s a Frickin’ Land Yacht!
I’ve driven a few beasts like these… It’s something else
Land Yacht is fucking right! Thing feels more like you’re piloting, not driving. I couldn’t be more happy with it.
Obviously it’s not a daily…
My grandfather had a mid 80s Fleetwood. That summamabitch could move and was comfy as hell.
Oh, for real. Despite being relatively “choked” by emissions compared to its pre-1972 472 ancestor, this thing will gallop right up to highway speeds without a care in the world.
I’m really glad it’s the old cast iron Cadillac big block and not the HT series engines that all the 80’s cadillacs got. That engine was a hot slow ugly mess.
