A Brougham is a horse-drawn carriage, named by a British politician and jurist named Lord Henry Brougham. One of the most luxurious ways to travel in the horse-and-cart era, it’s no surprise that Cadillac boldly used the name for their full-size luxury car lineup in 1987. Sadly, the Brougham would see just five years of production before being discontinued in 1992, replaced by the arguably less cool-sounding Fleetwood. Yes, Fleetwood is nice but no follow-up to Brougham. How do you pronounce it, anyways? We’ll leave you to ponder that as you take on this 1988 Cadillac Brougham from Smithville, Texas. With 63,000 miles on the clock, this old-school American luxobarge could be yours! It’s got a repainted deck lid and hood, and come s with the owners manual included in the sale too.
Exterior and Interior
Portraying typical Eighties American design language, this 1988 Cadillac Brougham wears a gray suit and complements it with a black vinyl-covered roof. This was a popular option in luxury car parlance, intending to give a pseudo-convertible look without actually sacrificing refinement, noise insulation and structural rigidity. Plus, it’s really hard to engineer an actual four-door convertible anyways. Standing at 221 inches long and 75.3 inches wide, it’s every bit the American land yacht to behold, and since it’s got a 121.5-inch wheelbase, you can see how long the overhangs are! Atop the hood, you’ll see the Cadillac coat of arms proudly standing erect as a hood ornament. The interior of this 1988 Cadillac Brougham continues the gray theme with plushly upholstered seats and wood trim. It’s packed with tech features that were cutting-edge at the time, such as not only power windows and mirrors but powered front seats, electronic climate control and a special Symphony Sound radio with cassette tape player. You also got cruise control and a Sentinel system which was basically automatic headlamp dipping.
Engine
This 1988 Cadillac Brougham has got a 5.0-liter V8 which is definitely smaller than you’d expect, but hey, fuel economy was becoming a concern too. Since this is a 1988 car, it’s got the reportedly 140-horsepower Oldsmobile unit. Power is sent to the rear axle through a 4-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission.
The 1989 Cadillac Brougham represents one of the last true body-on-frame American luxury sedans, built during an era when comfort and road presence were paramount. Powered by a dependable small-block V8 and designed for effortless cruising, this Brougham delivers the kind of smooth, relaxed driving experience Cadillac was known for. Showing just 65,442 miles, this example stands out as a well-preserved representation of late-1980s luxury, finished in a timeless blue-on-blue color combination that perfectly suits its character. With its classic styling and low mileage, it offers both nostalgic appeal and everyday usability.

Cadillac chose the name Brougham to represent its lineup of full-size luxury cars between 1987 and 1992 for two reasons. One is a Brougham was typically a four-wheeled, horse-drawn carriage that was the transportation of the rich and famous before the automobile was invented. Two, it was a nod at distinguished British statesman Henry Brougham. Either way, there's a lot of history behind a Cadillac Brougham, and since they dropped the name in 1992, the only way you're able to satisfy your aristocratic fantasies is by purchasing a car like this 1988 Cadillac Brougham that we've got for sale now. With 44,000 miles showing on the odometer, this car is still quite 'young' in a way.
The 2005 Cadillac XLR was Cadillac’s answer to the luxury roadster market of the early 2000s, blending dramatic styling, V8 power, and a distinctly upscale approach to open-top motoring. Showing just 37,731 miles, this example is finished in Crimson Pearl over a Shale interior, a color combination that gives the car a rich, period-correct presence. Under the hood sits a 4.6L naturally aspirated Northstar V8 paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, while the cabin adds its own sense of occasion through Light Eucalyptus wood accents and XM Satellite Radio. With its low mileage, retractable-hardtop grand touring character, and unmistakably Cadillac presentation, this XLR offers a distinctive alternative to the more common European luxury convertibles of its era.
The 1984 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible is pure old-school American luxury: long, low, formal, and unapologetically extravagant. Showing approximately 66,668 miles, this example is finished in blue over a white leather interior with blue piping and wears a matching white convertible soft top. The Biarritz trim gives the Eldorado an even more upscale presence, while its wire wheel covers, tufted seating, woodgrain trim, and comfort-heavy specification make it feel every bit like the flagship personal luxury cruiser Cadillac intended. It is the kind of car built less around lap times and more around making every drive feel like an occasion.
This 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible is a full-size American luxury cruiser from the final model year of the traditional Eldorado convertible. Finished in White over a White leather interior with red accents and a matching White convertible soft top, it combines unmistakable 1970s Cadillac presence with a 500ci V8, front-wheel drive, and a long list of comfort features. Showing approximately 94,630 miles, this Eldorado also offers automatic climate control, cruise control, power-adjustable seating, power windows, power locks, and the period styling details that made Cadillac convertibles of this era such distinctive road cars.
The 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe comes from one of the most memorable periods of the C3 era, when dramatic bodywork and big-block power were at the heart of the Corvette formula. Showing 122,775 miles, this example is finished in Classic White over a Black interior and carries the desirable 454ci LS5 V8 paired with a 3-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Its combination of removable T-top roof panels, chrome bumpers, Rally wheels, and a rear luggage rack gives it the unmistakable look of an early C3, while power steering and power brakes add welcome usability. For enthusiasts drawn to the sound, torque, and presence of a big-block Stingray, this one delivers the right ingredients in a very traditional configuration.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed chapter of the long-running R107 roadster, pairing classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and a luxury-focused driving experience. Showing 111,950 miles, this example is finished in Arctic White over Alpaca Gray leather with a black convertible soft top. Its specification includes automatic climate control, a folding front armrest, heat-insulating green glass, a heated rear window, and a Sony audio head unit. With its upright grille, long hood, compact two-seat cabin, and unmistakable R107 profile, the 560 SL remains one of the most recognizable Mercedes-Benz roadsters of its era.
This 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop is the kind of early pony car that gets straight to the point: a compact coupe, a small-block Ford V8, a four-speed manual, and rear-wheel drive. Showing approximately 17,433 miles, this example is finished in Caspian Blue over a black reupholstered interior and keeps the classic Mustang recipe intact while adding just enough personalization to make it feel more driver-focused. The 289ci V8, Hurst shifter, manual gearbox, and clean first-generation styling give it the sort of analog character that makes these cars so enjoyable even decades later.
