Cadillac is considered one of the first automotive brands in the world. Founded in 1902 by the founder of Motor City – Detroit, Antoine de la Mothe, Cadillac, whose coat of arms is used as the brand's crest. From its inception, Cadillac's main focus has been on luxury builds, and this continued when General Motors took over the brand in 1909. One of Cadillac's memorable models is the Cadillac Fleetwood, which has its roots all the way back to 1916; while the Fleetwood is currently discontinued, it is still a much sought-after vehicle. The Fleetwood's status as a premier luxury vehicle made it aptly suitable for a myriad of uses. Take this 1988 Cadillac Fleetwood that has undergone a custom funeral car conversion custom built by The S & S Coach Company to give loved ones a last ride in luxury. The conversion has been done with excellent workmanship and is host to the original engine with 75,000 miles on the odometer.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior features a color that was prevalent in its time, a subtle cream finish with tastefully added chrome trimmings, which is what this 1988 Cadillac Fleetwood Custom Funeral Car boasts. Originally, this was a sedan version of the Cadillac Fleetwood, and as such, most of it is still in its original state, with most of the changes being to the rear and the interior. The front features a classy egg-crate design grille with the Cadillac crest hood ornament on top, and the lower can be seen on the chrome and black front bumper. The sides are decorated with a chrome strip that runs the complete length of the car. Below the chrome-finished door handles, the keyholes are surrounded by the Cadillac wreaths, a testament to Cadillac's pursuit of luxury and personalization. Additions to the side include custom chrome and cream trim pieces. It sits on OEM wheels with the Cadillac crest in the center. The interior is finished in a luxurious mix of wood paneling, burgundy felt finish, and black leather. As part of its conversion the interior rear seats and boot have been replaced with full wood rear complete with rollers, curtains, and more burgundy felt and wood lining. Note that the original dash, steering wheel, and digital information cluster are host to a fuel tank counter in gallons as well as an MPG readout.
Engine
This 1988 Cadillac Fleetwood Custom Funeral Car still retains its 4.5L V8 with a power rating of 180hp and coupled with a 4-speed automatic transmission that sends said power to the front wheels. For stopping power, the Fleetwood uses power-assisted front disc brakes with rear drums. Other options include ABS, automatic lighting, power steering, etc.
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 term "cruising" is enjoyed and experienced in multiple ways; one could take a fast car and cruise into the weekend on twisty roads, you could also have a luxury motor that's built for purpose, but for those who know would always say cruising is done best behind the wheel of a old American land yacht. Present today is this 1975 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special Brougham – perhaps the ultimate cruiser and has a reported 63,000 original miles on the clock. What's better? The current owner reports the car's owner's manual and a car cover is included in the sale.
The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing represents one of the wildest modern interpretations of the American luxury sport sedan: a supercharged V8 up front, rear-wheel drive underneath, and the kind of performance hardware that makes it just as appealing to enthusiasts as it is to luxury-car buyers. This 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing has traveled approximately 14,370 miles and is finished in Summit White over a Sky Cool Gray leather interior with Jet Black accents. Beyond its already formidable factory specification, this example has been further personalized with an aftermarket ECU tune, aftermarket exhaust, carbon fiber body kit, and carbon fiber hood, giving it an even more aggressive character than a standard Blackwing.
The 1967 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe represents a landmark chapter in Cadillac history as the brand’s first front-wheel-drive Eldorado generation, combining advanced engineering with the unmistakable presence of a full-size American luxury coupe. Powered by Cadillac’s massive 472ci V8 and finished with elegant proportions, this Eldorado has been customized with a range of upgrades while maintaining its classic character. Finished in White with a White/Brown interior, this example shows approximately 92,444 miles and features a custom paint job, reupholstered interior, aftermarket air ride suspension, upgraded air conditioning system, and refreshed mechanical components reported by the current owner.
The 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz represents the height of Cadillac’s personal luxury coupe era, combining imposing styling, effortless V8 power, and an exceptional level of comfort and refinement. As the flagship Eldorado trim, the Biarritz added exclusive styling details and upscale appointments that set it apart from the standard model, creating one of Cadillac’s most recognizable luxury coupes of the late 1970s. Finished in Colonial Yellow with a matching Yellow leather interior, this example shows approximately 40,571 miles and features desirable period options including a factory Cadillac telephone system, Biarritz luxury trim, and formal padded roof treatment. This Eldorado Biarritz captures the distinctive character of an era when Cadillac represented the ultimate in American luxury motoring.
