1974 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham

[kungfuninja55]

cadillacs truly were beautiful cars. but now they look more like ugly space ships than cars. my favorite caddy is a 55 series 62

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

I wonder how much a 1979-1/2 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance Diesel 4-door would sell for now? Presumably not very much due to the unreliability of said powerplant (the Oldsmobile 5.7 diesel V-8).

[MiracleMileV8]

Such a lovely ol' Caddy............too bad GM can't make cars quite like this anymore thanks to what those greedy corporatist OPECers and oil barons pulled in '73. >=(

[evilaerocoupe]

nice car, gay music

[IstvanN1961]

@evilaerocoupe gay caballero?

[BruceTheSillyGoose]

was it being put onto the flatbed for a clunker's end? if so, that would have been a shame.

[spershall]

Good lord, that thing is bigger than my apartment!

[7477238]

How smooth do these old Caddys ride?

[tommysbrowncaddy]

What a classic Mercedes!! Great car!

[905edgewood]

I have a 1974 Fleetwood Brougham with 64m miles always garaged and in MINT

condition. I need to sell it ? do you have any suggestions and about what the price

should be ?

Many thanks in advance for your advice

[gmdude91]

beautiful car. my neighbor has a 77 lincoln continental coupe in a shade slightly darker than this. the battle of the land yachts was so fun to watch in the 70s. thanks to all the tree huggers though, we dont get to enjoy these beautiful works of art anymore.

[crazymotionride]

The land yachts are soo awesome, i need to get my hands on one before they all get scrapped by the environmental folk!

[wurly164]

@crazymotionride Check out my 76 Fleetwood

[ParkerKnoll112]

What is the name of the first song in the video?????????

[767373jae]

This is a somewhat rare car 1974, and the gas crisis.

[Plane60]

my dream is to have a white one ! lol

[TheDougInc]

My first car was a 73 sedan DUH' ville

[hoffa1968]

i have a 75 fleetwood that i bought for the motor, i hate to just scrap the car but im having trouble selling it locally, the sheet metal on the car is suprisingly good and so is the chrome, are people fixing these models up? i personally like my 68 coupe deville better but eh id drive both for sure.

[TheLizardKing1967]

The rap around padded Landau top was all the rage in the 1970's

[SteelCity1981]

That's when they made real seats. Now of days car seats feel like lawn chairs.

[Sonny6116]

right door different color than the quarter

[keithreed13]

GORGEOUS!

[6tony61]

would love to own them but cant afford the parts ..

[willmill77642]

I love cadillac but why is it most of the models with that style tail light always like pops out or something. On this car its in place but it seems everytime I see one from the side you can see gap between chrome of the tail light and the body itself.

[njot3]

@willmill77642 They used a plastic insert between the body and the bumper. Over time it deteriorates from the sun and weather. The plastic dries out and cracks and eventually falls apart. It's a common problem with Cadillacs from this time period.

[RedStaryPuu]

my dad has this same car thou in black he bought it in irland ing the later 90s we fled from the albanian riots it has the 500ci engine over the years i fixed it up and raised the compresion reinforced the frame and 6 piston breaks and fuel injection dual exhuast the reson for such over kill is becuz it whent form 260 hp to 640 hp .. thay had such huge motors that were detuned to such unbarible power hope to have it in the family for the next genarations! :3

[covis1]

I had a Fleetwood identical to this one for about four years. Same color, interior....everything! It could easily seat 7 people....even 8. It was like driving a living room but expensive at 9 MPG / $3.XXper gallon. I had to sell it because it was ageing. It went to a good home with a garage. I miss that car.

[hoffa1968]

that is a sweet car, i bought a 74 just like this from a auction and it was in an accident, i took the motor out to put in my 68 coupe deville. the rear quarter panel is damaged thats why they wrote it off, i have this car now and i want to get rid of it but i dont want to just scrap it , anyone want it?? haha

[celik411]

Hello, can you tell me please what s the first song's (the spanish) artist and song's title please? It so cool! Thank you very much! Kind regards from Canada

[gene978]

Very nice! I had a 73 Fleetwood in 76. My second car at age 17. My teachers thought I was a drug dealer. lolol

[SenatorJordan]

@gene978 That is funny! My neighbor across the street thinks the same thing about me (I'm 24) because I bought a 65 Fleetwood. I do nothing to lead him to believe its not true since it isn't his damn business what I do with my hard earned money. I will say this, I'm no drug dealer.

[lovetogokiev]

REAL nice example of a '74 Cad

[youfja]

Very nice I had a 1976

[badsneakers1976]

Pimpalicious!!!!!!

[BNSF7776]

My grandfather had the same 1974 Cadillac. I have to admit yours is in excellent condition.

[lNHUMANE]

Im pretty sure the '75 fleetwood was the longest production car ever so the '74 can't be to far behind.

[janosleng73]

Beautiful Caddy you have there! Makes me wish I still had my 2 old "boats" that I got rid of a long time ago... I had a 1977 Lincoln Town Car 4 dr back in 1989 and a 1974 Imperial LeBaron 4 dr that I also had in 1991. They sure don't make them this big or comfy anymore. Driving my Town Car was like cruising on a cloud, very relaxing and satisfying to the soul. Take care of your Cadillac my friend.

Cheers from Canada!

[TheLizardKing1967]

LOVE the padded Landau top

[edward97pa]

Your video of this classic Cadillac is pretty damn cool, espically with the music you chose, however, there is one thing you could have done that would have made the video really cool...you should have made some footage from out side of the car of the car riding down the road. These beautiful classics looked their best when they were moving. Video of the car going down the road, perhaps around some corners, would have been spectacular.

[CorpuscleX]

I agree, but then I have to find a partner in crime to either drive or film.

[koioo2]

@CorpuscleX stil have the cadiliac ?

[takoma5]

Excellent, looks like my friends 1976 Fleetwood Brougham

[shred5]

You gotta get some dice in that thing. Nice ride!

[isaiah213]

man i would love a 74 fleetwood them are nice

[BowlerBoy92]

i remember walking past one of these beautiful beauties, i looked inside and it was like looking through someones home...these things are huge.

[markmarshall39]

nice and big, took a little while for the walk-a-round didnt it, lol, you have to get up and lean across the cabin to change the radio station or turn on the ac, room for ever, floats on air, good vid, cheers!

[blazermaniac3]

NIce. In good shape, looks all original

[CarCrazy12804]

what a land yacht! But so was my 88 cadillac brougham!

[Clippa88]

dat is an ill as 74 damn. Lots of respect from Toronto, on. Fleetwoods are the shit

[tpvalley]

how many bodies in the boot, sorry trunk?

[jaynurl]

big pimpin...

[chrisgreen67]

What is the music? I love it.

[BarracudaTheFish]

the song's called " I want you" by Savage Garden

[dunn98632]

dads damn tank of a buick electra 225 of 1973 that size with a 455 loved it damn thing took out a honda that illegaly pulled a uturn we just slitely bent the bumper damn guy in hando need a ambulance and a door cut of the car with the jaws of life broken leg on him in four places too i guess he should not have made that turn GOD i love that car dad did get a 77 caddy then a 88 brougham de' elagance man that was nice 307 olds just didn't cut it for power

[shred5]

I drove an '84 Buick Park Ave for a couple years until I got rear-ended and needed a bit of work so I decided to replace it. The one thing I will say is while it's not a particularly fast car, it accelerated the same up hills as it did on flat ground which was enough passing power to get the job done... that and I never had any engine problems, and it doesn't burn any oil to this day.

[dunn98632]

were thinking of this 79 lincoln i know it not a caddy but just as big for sure and ya i want a big car again its nice and cheap as well so maybe will try for it .

[shred5]

I don't think the Lincolns were quite up to par with Caddy/Buick/Olds both in build and reliability but hey if it's cheap enough, in decent shape and you like it go for it. Still not a bad car...

[masterorb]

wow you talk hilarious

[dunn98632]

had to wype the damn druel of the keyboard thanks alot oh and love the second song dude i grew up on that in the type of car and that type of music

[chrisgreen67]

Beautiful, beautiful Cadillac. Love the red cloth interior! It just doesn't get any better than this beauty!

[U3X6785]

I would whip that beeyotch

[midnitesquirldog]

nice caddy lac

[auaiao9]

pretty pretty pretty

[tadeh3]

love those coach (opera) lights

[Danish4ever77]

Man you got your self a hell of a car! Big sigh. What happened to those day when they really could design cars?

[gogugogu]

What MPG ?

[relaxitsonlyagame]

who cares?

drive one of these and you'll be having dreams of crushing your prius with one!

[fuelguzzlerdk]

Sweet video you made. Thanks for sharing.

Am a big Cadillac fan myself.

[bestmichels]

I drove the '74 CoupeDeVille in the same colour, white leather and white roof for more than 120k miles from 1998 - 2002 on liquid propan (to minimize the driving-costs). I loved it!! Had to sell because of our 2002 born twins.... once I will buy one again, I'm sure about that! The '86 Eldorado I drove the same time was not that comfortable and roomy, but had better craftmanship and a lot of gimmicks- but it looked not that good.

[supremes1964]

when CARS were CARS.........nowdays....tin can with four wheels.

[Humanimalist]

More like plastic cans with four wheels

[ke228]

Yeah, like the Prius, makes me want to throw up!!

[j45007]

Very Nice Car!!!!!! The Cadillac Brouigham is the Cadillac of Cadillacs!! And 1974 was a Good year for the Brougham. A couple of my favorites are the 1974-1976 and the 1990-1992 Broughams, which marked the end of the big body cadillacs. Thanks for posting this video, -BOGAR!

[sixspeed2]

Just don't make them like they used to anymore. thats a real car.

[vespava]

precioso coche

[megaswenson]

I remember being at the dealership in '74, buying my Grand Prix (finest car I've ever owned. Way better than my new Lexus). My great aunt and uncle were there to pick up their new Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado Biarritz. It was soft yellow, inside and out, with the thickest padded top imaginable. That was their last car. That's when American luxury cars were giant pillows on wheels. The word 'luxury' doesn't even come close. Nothing will ever be that good again.

[rktscnc]

Ahhh, those were the days. 1984, my junior year of h.s. I loved that car. Mine was a '74 black on black Fleetwood Brougham with tan interior. Thanks for posting.

[001chatlos001]

sweet ass ride how many miles...

[lewandowskijacek]

my love

[catchfree84]

fell in love with a cadillac

[dunn98632]

had to wipe the drool off myself i have to admit i love that spacious interior

[dunn98632]

i concider this the sexiest body style of all caddys but im a fan of the hardtop mostly not the post

[fantomr100rt]

This is a CAR !!!- Aca Cadillac, Pancevo, Serbia .-

[cadrolls1]

I just sold a "76" Coupe DeVille that I put a 472 c.i. remanufactored "72" motor in. It was a beautiful car. I had a "71" Fleetwood too with 38,000 original miles. My younger friends could not get over the ride comfort. I asked them to note the lack of vibration on the door arm rests at highway speeds. I told them they will never feel that lack of vibration in any other car ever again. Cadillac no longer makes a long distance car. That is truly a shame.

[hydrogrow]

savage garden for tha win!

[CaddyDaddy1980]

I have a 74 Coupe DeVille that is the SAME color, this is only the 2nd other one I have ever seen this color! Must be a pretty rare color!

[CorpuscleX]

it was Terra Cotta Firemist.  It was a one year only color.

[GenericGene]

Their is not much more you can say - its a CADILLAC -

[Smiley6669]

Nice car, I had a 1974 Coupe deVille, I had about 6 Fleetwood Broughams from 1977-1990, I've had 20 Cadillac all together, my next car will be a 1996 Fleetwood Brougham.

[anhacus]

Cadillac and Rolls Royce have a very similar ride.

[luvlac64]

Og my GAWD!!! It's dripping with 70s Garishness. If the 70s were NOT one thing when it comes to cars it's refined! I love it. Your grandmother's living room on wheels.

[MrGoldenwaffler]

Grandmother's living room ...lol?? More like a bordello on wheels.

[PowerhousePaluch]

All hands to the starboard side! Set the mast!Raise Anchor! Set course to Japan and see if we can buy a car over there.

[honestrunescaper]

Thats a real Cadillac, if anyone from Cadillac ever sees this, "make that car,ok?"

[Fersommling]

What do y'all think of the change after the 1974 models from round headlights to angular ones?

Only classic car lovers need reply.

[limoiloustar]

there's enough place for five dead italians in this trunk !

[anhacus]

That's very true. The Town cars trunk too. The back seat on this car is where the ladies lose their panties in a hurry. Vaginal massacre mobile. LOL.

[wmichswingers]

@limoiloustar or ten dismembered ones...

[JTPolo101]

Friends of my parents had one of these in black. It was huge *LOL* I remember the foot rests in the back seat, and if I am not misaken thre were fold down trays on the back of the front seats for people in the back seat. They were part of the school carpool when I was in grammar school and I loved when it was their turn to drive *LOL*

[spluesh]

SLOW

[PatrickMace]

NICE NICE NICE Color! NICE RIDE TOO!!!!!

[autounion20]

thanks friend ..

[autounion20]

apology which is the name of the song that put the video in which occupies most of the video, I could say the name, and congratulations on the cadi this beautiful I have a Fletwood from 72 ...

[milkymoocowmoo]

It's "I Want You" by a now disbanded Australian duo named Savage Garden.

[biotonk]

beautiful ....my dad had a '76.

[babbygusanddorothy]

well that got me sick you know in a good way i hope you got all the money for that caddy its still a shame to let a car like that go there far and few inbewteen

[svlvia]

my dad had 74 talisman your car brings great menory like your show thanks

[GeeMagic]

I seem to have soiled myself..

[Jac2Mac]

Did this 1974 Cadillac come with a chime or a buzzer?

[CorpuscleX]

I'm pretty sure it had a buzzer.

[bestmichels]

yeah, it had a buzzer- I'm sure because I had the Coupe...

Stefan

[bulldog1961]

Gorgeous Cad. They don't make 'em like that any more.

[mojobat]

Damn...I miss my Caddy...

[boss12]

Love that body style. I really like the 75 and 76 models, but with that one the only visible difference is the shape of the headlights

[montrosepatriot]

round headlites and the side markers were 1974-exclusive; the squared lites on 75 and 76s are considered pimp.

[SaSSoNIR]

Beautiful, but its unreal to have a car like this in europe :(

[alirizasaglam19]

eski şarkılar ne kadar güzelse eski amerikanlarda bi o kadar güzell..yok bular gibisii..

[kennyworth1967]

My first and 5th cars were a 74 Caddy Coupe de Ville..

What a cruiser!!

[kindaawesome08]

i have a 95, but nothing beats this. Sweet lord.

[WillyBeeYum]

What an awesome piece of Americana! Keep that baby rollin'.

[hippeuropeantours]

Very Hot....

[aviatik]

I've got a '77 Fleetwood Brougham - it's an enormous fucker with a 7 litre engine and I LOVE it.

It makes people smile too! Apart from environmentalists that is -but everyone knows they are idiots.

[cadimec]

Nice video - I would suggest the "Cadillac 1974" complimentary 8-track tape as the soundtrack (but see you have the signal seeker w/out tape). Lovely car - but your pinstriping is missing! 1974 Brougham d'Elegance editions shared unique pinstriping with the Talisman models. Your Terra Cotta "Medici" velour interior seems to have survived really well too.

Cheers

[CorpuscleX]

Pinstriping on a Fleetwood? It's not like this is some flamboyount Coupe de Ville or Eldorado!

[kklonghorns]

Nothing beats a '75 Fleetwood. They take performance to a whole new level.

[cadsrbest]

Why was it hauled away on a flatbed?

[SCARLETTNOVA]

the second song is savage garden. cherry cola.

the first is some kinda mariachi???

hilarious song for this car. weirdo

[Lackesse]

savage garden :I want you ...not cherry cola

[excelcoir]

Does anyone know the name of this song and who sings it ?

[kurt313]

cadillacs ranging from 1980 and upwards are shoddy souped up gm's with useless and hideous trinkets.

Its called german cars.... gimme a 74 bmw 2002 anyday

[missingklink]

So true!(Well true and I'm a German.)

[applebutt123]

So.. I know that the older cars from late 60's through early 80's by Cadillac are somewhat filled with things that you may or may not need. But have you been in a Mercedes or BMW from today? Same problem. So don't pick on our boats and we won't pick on your "full sized" sedans. Sometimes I wonder if other car companies and even Cadillac now understands the meaning full sized anyways.

[CincinnatiPD]

Love the Cadillac but next time don't use that music.

[DSNCB919]

Cadillacs are the only car I will buy, I dont know why but once u get one you, well I became attached
