While modern consumer trends dictate that manufacturers offer hundreds of SUV options to their customers, many enthusiasts long for the precursor to practical motoring — the humble station wagon. The wagon body shape is one that has been quietly phased out from modern-day showroom lineups. But, with wagons becoming a rarer sight on U.S. roads, the body shape is becoming more desirable to collectors and connoisseurs alike. Listed here is the ultimate in old-school Americana: a 1973 Cadillac Fleetwood Station Wagon. With just 83,000 miles on the clock and some stunning features for a car from the ’70s, this station wagon is arguably just as desirable, if not more so, than its sedan counterpart.
Exterior and Interior
Being a full-size luxury car, the Cadillac Fleetwood’s styling makes no apologies for its size, with slab-sided styling juxtaposed by the elegant tailfins. With a large grille up front flanked by a six-light array and with the Cadillac badge atop, there’s no mistaking it for anything else. Finished in grey, the owner reports that the paint job is new, while all exterior brightwork appears to be in excellent condition. Inside the Cadillac Fleetwood, you find a large tri-spoke wheel rim, with a column-mounted shifter allowing for extra-width individual seats up front. The interior is upholstered in red and brown, matching the rest of the cabin surfaces. The dashboard features controls for climate control, cruise control, and auto-dimming lights. Electric controls also exist for the front seats and all four windows.
Engine
Under the hood of this Cadillac Fleetwood Station Wagon is a 472 cu in (7.7-liter) overhead- cam V8, which the owner reports has had a recent oil change. While the power output of roughly 205 hp may be considered small for an engine of such size by today’s standards, the 365 lb-ft of torque more than makes up for it. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three- speed automatic gearbox. The owner reports a host of recent maintenance, including a new exhaust system, tires, brakes, coil springs, and shock absorbers.
This 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham delivers the full-size luxury presence that defines Cadillac’s traditional rear-wheel-drive sedan formula. Finished in Cotillion White with a White padded vinyl roof over a Dark Claret Heather Cloth interior, it presents a distinctly formal appearance inside and out. Its equipment includes 15-inch steel wheels with wire-spoke wheel covers, chrome bumpers and bodyside moldings, cornering lamps, power windows and locks, automatic climate control, woodgrain interior trim, an illuminated entry system, and a Sony XR-2300 AM/FM cassette stereo. Showing approximately 92,289 miles, this Fleetwood Brougham combines traditional Cadillac styling with a 5.0-liter V8 and a comfortable, luxury-oriented cabin.
Cadillac’s full-size luxury sedan for twenty years, the Fleetwood served as the pinnacle offering from this iconic American luxury automaker between 1976 and 1996. The actual origins of Fleetwood are hazy, as it was used as a trim line on other Cadillacs since 1935, since Fleetwood was actually a coachbuilder who built bodies for automakers, most notably, Cadillac. The first proper Fleetwood model was actually front-wheel drive, with the second generation switching to rear-wheel drive. However, the Fleetwood Brougham remained rear-wheel drive, as is this 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham from Ford Collins, Colorado. The car has got a 307 under the hood, and just over 25,000 miles on the clock.
With a name like Fleetwood, you’d think that the vehicle in question was large, luxurious and basically a land yacht. That’s precisely what the Cadillac Fleetwood was, and it has been a stand-alone nameplate, as well as a trim line. Today, we’ve got a 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special Brougham from Whitehouse, Tennessee up for sale, with pre-delivery inspection, owner’s manual, warranty information and maintenance schedules included. This massive land yacht with its hulking 500ci V8 has done only 51,000 miles, and is a great classic car to own and drive.
The 2006 Cadillac XLR represents one of Cadillac’s most ambitious modern-era grand tourers, combining dramatic styling, an aluminum-intensive chassis, a power-retractable hardtop, and V8 performance in a two-seat roadster. Sharing its basic architecture with the contemporary Corvette but tuned around Cadillac’s luxury mission, the XLR was intended to compete with premium European retractable-hardtop GTs while showcasing technologies such as Magnetic Ride Control. Showing approximately 10,551 miles, this Black Raven example pairs its low-slung roadster profile with an Ebony cabin, Dark Eucalyptus wood trim, and a naturally aspirated 4.6L V8, making it a particularly appealing low-mileage example of Cadillac’s distinctive flagship convertible.
This 2019 Cadillac CT6-V represents one of Cadillac’s most ambitious modern performance sedans, pairing flagship-level luxury with the hand-built Blackwing V8 and a chassis developed specifically for serious performance. Finished in Manhattan Noir Metallic over a Dark Auburn leather interior with Jet Black accents, this example combines understated executive styling with V-Series hardware including Magnetic Ride Control, active rear steering, Brembo brakes, an active-valve exhaust system, and extra-capacity cooling. The Rear Seat Package and Driver Assist Package add another layer of comfort and technology, while features such as the Bose Panaray 34-speaker sound system, UltraView power sunroof, head-up display, and 12-inch reconfigurable gauge cluster reinforce its flagship character. Showing approximately 5,060 miles, this CT6-V stands out as a remarkably low-mileage example of Cadillac’s short-lived Blackwing-powered super sedan.
