1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham (commercial)

[campingkillen]

Did people actually buy this 5 liter "big" engine thing......

Only 10 tears earlier they had the 8.2 liter (500cui), and that´s a big engine!!

[TanteJutta0815]

Thats one of my dream cars. I also like the 1959

[11MRKARL]

Old cars were nice and chromie. I wish they were back just like the old airlines, like Pan Am. I have 6 old cars.

[BigSCTVfan2]

I think my relatives have this car, and this specific year.....not as impressive to see it in person. It's too low to the ground for my liking compared to modern day cars, and then it doesn't seem as big and respect-worthy as a mid-70s or 90s Fleetwood. When GM downsized the sizes of their cars 1977 I don't think it was good for Cadillacs. Good to downsize the Chevrolets and other brands, but keep the luxury cars large I say.

[smithraymond09029]

I would love to drive one of these to Vegas!

[Fradias11]

love it... I hate people who ruin it, I seen so many americans crashing and crushing those cars :( such an awesome car...

[lucasorcorey]

i have one :)

[OldCarsAreBest]

I'd rather have a 350 in it....

[lucasorcorey]

@OldCarsAreBest that came in 1990 lol

[Feathergreencp]

I need to restore one of those to the original thing, because these things are usually rusty with dents with duct tape all over them

[walkingeagle069]

i love the whole "Mine is longer" issue between Lincoln and Cadillac.. sophomoric mentality, but really entertaining..

[stellarfungk85]

@NitroGadvRules I agree with you. The Lincoln Town Car was the epitome of a first class, exquisite luxury car and one of the last fine examples of the big, spacious luxury cars in modern times. The same can be said for the Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. It's such a shame that these cars are being taken off the market and that the motor companies are sucked in by the current trend of small, sporty cars. I've always preferred to ride in big luxury cars. They exude style and class.

[Derwisz007]

It's my favourite Cadillac :)

[stellarfungk85]

Many of today's cars look like round spaceships and plastic pieces of crap. Someone made a comment about how these cadillacs were unsafe! Please! If one were to get in a crash in a hybrid, the outcome could be fatal and that new hunk of junk would be smashed,looking like a crushed aluminum can! Modern cars lack real style, luxury, durability and most of all, Class!! The majority of new cars are just plain UGLY and belong in a salvage yard! Fact:Nothing today will EVER be rendered a CLASSIC

[NitroGadvRules]

@stellarfungk85 one of the few exceptions to this rule as far as luxury car classic is the last generation town car. It was very classy and truely american. Sad to see it go as it commanded a presence that very few other cars could do and also be super classy at the same time.

[001chatlos001]

@kungfuninja55 lol

[727100bear]

Yes! .. Best of all.. it's a Cadillac! .. and a Fleetwood too! .. not a CTS or an SXT or a DTS or some other idiotic, meaningless combination of letters or numbers! where are the Eldorado and Calais models of today? just because Lexus and Infiniti designers have no imagination when it comes to marques certainly does not mean "The Standard of the World" shouldn't!

[Anonymous1226]

Who else thinks that the announcer sounds like Ronald Reagan?

[kungfuninja55]

i hate the new tiny front wheel drive technologymobiles they call cars now. i want full size 5.7 liter V8 rear wheel drive luxury car with bench seats, a horizontal speedometer, a 3 speed trasmission, whitewall tires, chrome grills, vinyl tops, opera windows, and an enomous hood. not some dumbass electric car that answers my phone for me and looks like a retarted spaceship.

[BGKO1992]

@kungfuninja55 lol

[somewhatlongdong]

@kungfuninja55 You'll need to beam yourself back to 1975.

[CanadianTechHelps]

I love old GM in general... but the Americans couldn't make really good engines at that time (I generally hate all Japanese sardine cans) like seriously, A 5.0 engine putting out 140 HP? Mercedes could make a 1.8 that could put out 130 HP!!

[Lumotaku]

@CanadianTechHelps

This car is hobbled by emissions crap that other countries didn't worry about in the 80s. take that stuff off this is a great engine. Also 140 hp but gobs of torque these things are still fun to drive.

[dstarks80]

@CanadianTechHelps GM's Quad-4 From the Oldsmobile Division put out 150-180hp from only 2.2 liters. Hows that for 80's American Engine technology?

[LYONNAIS69FUNK]

gangster car

[somewhatlongdong]

In the 80's, every commercial had to have a jingle. "Best of all, It's a Cadillac."

[joewillgo]

I'd say that car has a DAM GOOD AMOUNT OF LEG ROOM!

[captainkaveh]

Not only a car,it's luxury,safety, joy,beauty,class..It's just lovely,...

Day by day the cars devaluing like other thing,like music,humanity,culture,....

It's so sad...

[ghettofama703]

@captainkaveh This is so true. I don't even like new cars. The newest car I would buy now is a Malibu. I like the new Cadillacs, but they don't say "Cadillac" anymore. It's just a name. It's not a distinct style like the 96 Fleetwood... the last real modern Cadillac. People can say whatever they want about the Northstar, but truthfully the 90's were far better for Cadillac than the 2000s. FWD bullshit and all with the exception of the ghastly Catera.

[captainkaveh]

@ghettofama703 Yes absolutely right,...I am happy to see still there are some people like you can feel the  laps of values ,..

I had a Cadillac sevil 1981,it was lovely,..

I will try to find another beauty of GM later again,i can't live without them,...

Cheers,..

[Lumotaku]

@ghettofama703

Only out of forced neccesity would I buy any kind of modern car and that would be a late model crown vic or grand marquis. Cadillacs lost their style after they got rid of the brougham. Bring back the fins and hood ornaments and send aerodynamic european wannabeism to it's long delayed grave.

[mrbrandon71]

@captainkaveh superbly stated! I could not possibly agree with you more! I am a proud American and I am so ashamed for this nation and nervous for those of us with any kind of dignity!

[Hot80s]

i had a 83 & 84 coupe de ville & loved them. i bought a white on white astroroof 81 brougham coupe 8/6/4 really nice car exc the engine & the brougham pillow seats fuck up your back if you are tall. Beautiful 15" factory daytons. Still loved them all.

[Slyteradon]

that car is sexy

[MrBjoey2010]

Best Of all its a Cadillac 

[AdamAus85]

Fudge me, enough space in there, lol.

"Echo echo echo..."

[e4gail]

If they made this today - I would buy it in a second

[ElGuajiroify]

@e4gail How much do you think it would cost in todays dollars.? I would guess about $120.k

[lasuvidaboy]

@ElGuajiroify More like 55,000 to 60,000.

[727100bear]

hey IdigItup.. whatever THAT means .. what an inept remark! .. these were beautiful cars - some of the last truly stylish Cadillacs ever designed ..before the blob cars and harshly styled Cadillacs of today were introduced! Clearly your sense of aesthetics and style are limited.

[ldigItup]

Stupid

[nicademas617]

priceless.

[bellier20]

I bought one of these, an '85 in this same color, about 1993 or so while owning an '87 Cimarron. I bought it off a lot for $3,500 with about 98,000 miles and ran it up to nearly 190,000 before I traded it in on a new Ford Explorer. Even with the dreaded 4.1 V8 in it, this car gave me almost no problems in the time I owned it.

[MaestroTJS]

You mean they didn't have a 5 litre in them before this year?! Geez, I thought the 305 was even in lowly Chevy's.

Anyway, this car is definitely pimpin'. The last of what I think of as a "real" Cadillac. The new ones may be great cars in their own right, but they're a different breed.

[dstarks80]

@MaestroTJS Pre 82's had large displacement big blocks in them usually a 6 or 7 liter depending on model year. 82-85's had a weak little 4.1 V8.

[themaytagrepairman]

@dstarks80 My dad had a 1979 with a 425cid, and a 1980 Coupe De Ville with a 368 cid. I thought 368 was a strange displacement. I thought the 4.1 was a V6.

[barriobajaj]

@themaytagrepairman That's why Cadillac advertised the displacement as 7.0 & 6.0 Liter respectively.

When GM downsized in '77 it incorporated metric parts and measurements in it's new models. I'm glad I have both S.A.E. and metric tools seeing that it's a hodge podge of mix and match parts used to build these cars. I have a '77 Commercial Chassis Cadillac hearse.

[jammer96]

Classic "boating". lol

[japnikki]

these are dont have crash zone built in the force of enersa will kill you in this car

[Canedude08]

"I drive a Bro-Ham. "

"What's a Bro-ham?"

[001chatlos001]

@Canedude08

haha, thats how i say "Brougham"...i think it sound s cooler! :)

[TheSRalston]

@001chatlos001 lol, that name has always sounded to me like someone clearing his throat..."BROOOUGHAM...whaack-­sput"...

[WarThug13]

@Canedude08 Haw haw, hang loose bro-ham!!

[UFOSPACE1999]

@Canedude08 I think Cadillac gave out a Ham..every time anyone bought a brougham....LOL...BRO HAM

what a piece of shit car.

[244maverick]

my grand pa owns one. it's like walking on clouds to ride that car it's so smooth and comfy

[firstmusic00]

Nice car, but the that 305 was way underpowered. I'm glad GM was able to get the 350 in it before it ended.

[grandcreator11]

thats a beautiful car

[grandcreator11]

3 people are driving a Prius.

[McKinneyDoug]

Beautiful car! Classic lines, elegant comfort, lots of chrome, and THE best tail lamps ever designed for a car.

[japnikki]

unsafe, gas horor car- so glad that 95%  of these cars have been crushed to make new imports

[MsDaan74]

@japnikki are you import??

youre a lunatik .

[themaytagrepairman]

@japnikki Unsafe?!!!! If i was in an accident, I'd much rather be in a big car like this than one of those tinker toy jap cars. You stand a hell of alot better chance of survival in a a big car like this. If you don't like big american cars then move to japan.

[aldaloo3]

@themaytagrepairman There is one japanese car which is equivalent to cadillac and lincoln and that is 77-89 toyota crown which was the only car came on with Body ON Frame it was a real luxury car in that time.

[tyendor]

You could roll about 20 deep in that car! LOL. That thing was huge. Great commercial...great times.

[Unlucki06]

I have one. Just got it in May.

[001chatlos001]

@Unlucki06

nice!!!

Have any videos uploaded of it?

[MrDavidruffin]

@001chatlos001 I Got A 97 D'Elegance And I WAnt It To Be A Brougham Does That Count????

[hottdylan1993]

Whoever the 1 person that disliked this is, they are an idiot! Who could hate something this beautiful?

[renatobh26]

This spirit individualist is the human essence,america grow for this,the human spirit is this it.

[misterjgl]

@luso2kx...LOL very true but I still love those old school caddys...some one could hit you and would not even know it....I have seen those european cars torn up (eventhough they are the safest cars out there)...and all the person did was tap a trash dumpster...lol with them old school Caddys you could run into someones house and the car would just have a scratch on it

[Goutama2930]

いいね

[deeckhardt]

THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!!!

Very very very best then any Rolls or Bentley 2012.

[luso2kx]

Good thing roads in the states are straight and wide. That thing would be a nightmare in the narrow and tight-curved roads in Europe

[Railer505]

RWD advertising feature? Yikes...

[juniorsurprise06]

Now that was a car. Great commercial from a great era.

[lightningbuster]

Should be "And new for brougham, a new not-so-powerful 5.0 liter V8"

[KF6LIL]

YES these were the ones to have with ther spoked rims parked in your curved driveway in the country at your lavish posh home.

[DeLorean4]

0 people dislike real Cadillacs.

[foxdev321]

I have a '94 sedan deville it's just as big as this one but it's front wheel drive with a 4.9 liter V-8, both are very nice. CADILLAC STYLE.

[ez3276]

@foxdev321 A '94 front drive Sedan Deville is not even close to as big as this '86 Fleetwood, it's a good 18 inches shorter

[foxdev321]

@ez3276 Cadillac specs are the '86 fleetwood brougham is 221 inches long, my '94 sedan deville is209.7 inches long.So thats 11.3 inches shorter not even a foot and not 18+.But both are nice big cars.94 is when they made them longer and taller and wider then the '87's to '93.They made this body style from '94-'99.I really like the old one like this commercial it's what I wanted but the '94 is nice also-peace.

[happymike44]

When cars were still built like cars.

[LexusLawyer]

@happymike44

And looked like cars too... unlike the bubble-shaped cars of today.

[Pilot853]

@happymike44 Dude, after the 70s, all american cars were trash. People still keep Cadillacs and Lincolns in good condition because they're expensive, but try to find a 1986 Chevy or Ford, and you won't, because they've all fallen apart already.

[203207ab]

@Pilot853 you're right. all junk by this time except for this car and lincolns american cars were pretty bad.
