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.
Inspection
Cadillac has spent decades building a reputation for American luxury, but its V-Series performance division has proven that the brand is equally capable of delivering serious driving excitement. The CT5-V carries that tradition forward, blending the sophistication of a modern luxury sports sedan with the performance engineering that has made the V-Series nameplate a favorite among driving enthusiasts. This 2026 Cadillac CT5-V Sedan AWD, showing just 2,412 miles, comes finished in elegant Deep Space Metallic over a Whisper Beige leather interior with Jet Black accents. Under the hood sits a 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 producing 360 horsepower, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system. This particular example boasts a desirable selection of factory options, including the Technology Package, UltraView sunroof, ventilated front seats, red brake calipers, and sueded microfiber interior trim. With Magnetic Ride Control, Brembo front brakes, Super Cruise hands-free driving technology, and a premium AKG 15-speaker audio system, this CT5-V offers an impressive combination of exhilarating performance, advanced technology, and everyday luxury.
