The Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham is a large automobile produced from 1947 through 1996. The name combined two famous Cadillac trim lines, Fleetwood and Brougham, and was intended to signify the finest that the maker could produce.First generation
The first Cadillac to bear the name was the 1947 Fleetwood Brougham, with a sedan version, a coupe version and a limousine version appearing in 1947.
The original Fleetwood Brougham was simply a more-upscale trim line than the Sixty Special, with tray tables and footrests in the rear.
Part of the Cadillac Series 60 line (not confused with Fleetwood 75 Series), it was a closed, two-door coupé, two-door convertible, 4-door sedan, and a 4-door limousine was Cadillac's first pillarless hardtop and convertible besides the Coupe DeVille and Sedan DeVille. Intended as a prestige model, at $3,497 it was one of the most expensive models of the Series 62 line. It was luxuriously trimmed, with leather upholstery and chrome 'bows' in the headliner to simulate the ribs of a convertible top.
This generation was only on the market for one year for this model because the Cadillac line was redesigned totally.
Second generation
This generation began in 1948 model year, with a new design for all Cadillacs except the Fleetwood 75 (was in production with the predecessor design until 1949), in 1949 a light redesign for the grill. The first-year Fleetwood Brougham 2,150 units were sold, 1950 sales were more than double, and 1951 more than doubled those of the previous year. This generation lasted two years.
Third generation
For 1950, major styling changes were performed. The cars were lower and sleeker, with longer hoods, and one-piece windshields were fitted. The Series 61 was again a short wheelbase model, having been reduced to 122 in.
Very slight changes in the grill were made between 1950 and 1952 model year. The Series 61 was discontinued in the middle of the 1951 model year due to lagging sales.
In 1953 the grill was redesigned yet again. The 1953 Fleetwood Brougham was a special-bodied, low-production convertible (532 units in total). It was the production version of the 1952 Fleetwood Brougham "Golden Anniversary" concept car. Available in four unique colors (Aztec Red, Alpine White, Azure Blue and Artisan Ochre — the latter is a yellow hue, although it was shown erroneously as black in the color folder issued on this rare model). Convertible tops were available in either black or white Orlon. There was no special badging on the car, other than the "Fleetwood Brougham" nameplate, in "gold", in the center of the dash. A hard tonneau cover, flush with the rear deck, hid the top in the open car version. Although it was based on the regular Series 62 convertible and shared its engine, it was nearly twice as expensive at US$7,750.
This first Fleetwood Brougham had a wraparound windshield and a cut-down beltline, the latter signifying a dip in the sheetmetal at the bottom of the side windows. These two touches were especially beloved by General Motors Styling Chief Harley Earl and subsequently were widely copied by other marques. In fact, throughout the 1950s, Fleetwood Broughams was GM's styling leader, and since GM led the industry, where the Fleetwood Brougham went, everyone else would tend to follow.
