They might be gas guzzlers but hell that is what a real luxury car looks like. Better then any piece of trash they call luxury today. Beautiful Cadillac.
Like driving a tuna boat. No feed back. No feeling. No response. Wallows and dives. Don't even think about turning. Seat have no support. Flat, yiu slide around holding onto thr steering wheel or the grab handles.
Stunning. I had the '68 but I loved the "candlestick tailights" of the '69. My neighbor had a '69 convertible and on a summer night, watching them glide up the drive, top down, Dean Martin singing - was GLORIOUS.
@@ms.annthrope415 I'll take that over a small, cramped, hard-riding subcompact. A '69 Cadillac turns just fine for normal and even abnormal driving. I have owned several '60s and '70s Cadillacs and have never slid around the seat.
Mu uncle bought a new, gold 1969 Sedan de Ville and kept it pristine until his death 31 year later (with only 51,000 miles). I learned to drive in that car, it drove as if I was on a cloud, and it felt as spacious as a 2,000 sq ft home. Strong V8 and terrific memories.
I have a 1970 Fleetwood Brougham with just over 29K original miles. Wonderful road car. Very comfortable and a real conversation starter. Yes it is lick able.
Wow! That's a stunner. The paint is like glass. Love the old Caddys. I have a friend who (except for a couple of cars here and there) has always driven a Caddy. His first car was a '68 Calais sedan. He kinda made me a fan! I am on my fourth Caddy now. Great job finding quality cars! I'm impressed.
What an unbelievable beauty. A rare Fleetwood Sixty Special with special-ordered leather interior, which makes this low production car even more interesting and valuable. Plus a phenomenal color combination that is extremely desirable.
Yeah, The 1971 Oldsmobile 98, Buick Electra and the Cadillac DeVille WERE the largest of those models, And the FLEETWOOD versions of Cadillac would be 3" BIGGER than it's "C" body cousins. "Everyone" thinks that cars were "big" in the '50s, That's BS. Cars got to be the BIGGEEST thru the 1960s and 70s, until the '73 oil crisis. a 1971 Chevy Bel-Air is MUCH larger than a 1955 Chevrolet Bel-air.
1969, the ONLY year for those BEAUTIFUL red lanterns stop lights in the back!!!!! LOVED those, no other year were they THAT special. Plus, did this have the rubber strip on the inside the steering wheel to blow the horn? THATS the BEST place for a horn controller!!!!!
Wheels & hub caps r the biggest PT of contention on any vehicle. Very subjective,Sometimes I have to have exactly what came from the factory & sometimes the factory look wasn't good.I don't mind those ..
Yeah, mine has the dish-like caps original to 1969. These caps look like the '79 wires. Honestly? I think it works well on this color combo. Wouldn't say the same for them on my triple-gold '69, but that's just me
The 69-70 Fleetwoods might be the best fleetwoods. Like the steel roof of the 60-special. The vast majority were broughams. One thing, the rear is riding high, it may have had the rear springs replaced with DeVille springs, a common malady as these fleetwoods soldiered through the 70s.
Gabriel air shocks. Or that caddy air bag suspension. Either way, I love a Cadillac. Had me a '74 Coup DeVille back in 83. Fine piece of Detroit steel cept for the body. Those babies rusted away something fierce. But a great car. I loved her!
in 1986,I had a 1970 Fleetwood "Series 60'. (same car, slightly different grille pattern and taillights) The horrifical part is....I paid $200.00 for her...Yeh, that's right "kids", I quite LITTERALLY gave 4 $50.00 bills for it! 🤯 Mine was "navy blue" ."navy blue"(leather). Miss that "beast" , Him, and my 1977 Buick Electra "Limited' were the "last word" in AMERICAN luxury cars!!👍😊👍
I still drive Cadillac lucky number eight I'm on but you are certainly correct with the sunroof doesn't leave much headroom for passengers in the back with that slanted slope roof on the XTS,,,,, not to mention doesn't leave enough room for a man's dress hat 🎩,,,, I mean my God I know it's a new day but some men,,,,, still dress from head to toe and not just from the neck down 🤷😁👍🎩
These wheel covers are not from that era. I would say that the hubcaps are more from 1977-78 Cadillac. However, it’s one hell of a nice car. Johnny, Montréal, Canada 🇨🇦
@@hlk5887 it totally ruins the look when they put those late 50s tires on late 60s cars. The car is very sleek and refined and the tires should be too. Look at an original sales brochure to see the correct look.
Yeah I love the look of the 80’s Cadillacs but when the underpowered Olds 307 was as good as got back then until they went to the Chevy 350 in the 90’s.
She's a beauty. But be prepared, she's gonna give ya bout 8 miles to a gallon of premium while giving you a dream ride like you've probably never had before!! Happy motoring friends!
A full 20' of Caddy,would be a cool car for some trips.If memory is correct a coupe Seville was about 7k,these must of approached ten grand which was a boat load of $$ back in 69.Lovely example.
Now in 1969 my parents friend had a Mercedes-Benz 280SE maybe it was later 70?71? But first car I drove over 100mph, the guy that let me drive it said “drive it as fast as you want?” It was amazing. Different than my parents Electra Buick
The wire wheel cover on that car came from 1977 when Cadillac came out with them a big hit ! But also the thieves loved them to the most stolen wheel covers ever ! Cadillac had to come up with a way to lock then on the wheels and they did.
@@stevebirakis3775 late ‘60’s Camaro, Corvette & Malibu ralley wheels were just as vulnerable. Better to sell them & replace with locking 5 spoke Craiger’s or Center Lines.
Where's the hood ornament? My neighbour has a '69 Fleetwood and his has a hood ornament. (And no, I'm not confusing it with the Eldorado. (Just to be sure I called over there and double checked with him.)) Was the hood ornament maybe an option? I see on your hood that there appears to be a space for it with that short chrome piece. It looks much better with, than without. GREAT video btw!!
@@dennisjones44 Then I wonder if my neighbour had this added on at some point then. We too were Cadillac'-ers. In London we had R.R. Silver Cloud 3's & Silver Shadows. (we still have them, but now 2 are here in the states) But father always had Caddy's imported in. We only had Fleetwoods and Eldorados I will check with my neighbour on his hood ornament and let you know what he says. Thanks for the reply. Cheers, Keith
Can anyone shed some light on why Caddy's of this lineage rarely blow cold A/C? The standard answer is, "probably just needs a charge." At least these guys didn't do that. I know there was a conversion from R12 to R134A. Maybe a lot of these didn't have the conversion? I just don't know. Anyone ? Based on the lack of wear on brake and gas pedal's rubber, those miles appear to be accurate I would think.
No. The Fleetwood Brougham did, the Fleetwood Sixty Special did not. The Sixty Special was the entry level Fleetwood, and leather was special-ordered here. Cloth interior is what they all had, unless leather option was ordered on the "cheaper" Fleetwood, as the case is here.
They might be gas guzzlers but hell that is what a real luxury car looks like. Better then any piece of trash they call luxury today. Beautiful Cadillac.
Driving a Cadillac like that is like floating on a cloud.
Those big comfy seats r like a seat on grandmas sofa!

Why does it have a weird color trim on the back of the front seat?????

My girl in high school had one we used to drive around and party in. It was her dad's. Totally classy car!! And ALL metal!!

Look at that trunk ...amazing 👏
This car is absolutely beautiful. Wow...............so nice.
I’d feel like Michael Corleone riding in that beast.
These are the kind of Cadillacs that Elvis and I like!!😊😊
Now that's a frickin car 👍👍👍👍👍
What a beautiful Cadillac! 😍
The 1971 was larger, but the 1969 was a handsome car indeed.

That interior is 🔥🔥
A beautiful Cadillac. Thank you for sharing!
Realy Gorgeous Car! Thanks for Sharing!
Spectacular! I wish I was equally thrilled with new Cadillacs, but sadly I’m not.
Amazing big boat. The pinnacle of the american auto industry.
I had a 70' Deville. Wished it looked as nice as this Cadillac!😁
Gorgeous Caddy. I don't believe those are the original wheel covers though.
I think you are right, it looks like they were from the 80s or later.
Not original wheelcovers righto!
1969, the ONLY year for those BEAUTIFUL red lanterns stop lights in the back!!!!!
LOVED those, no other year were they THAT special. Plus, did this have the rubber strip on the inside the steering wheel to blow the horn? THATS the BEST place for a horn controller!!!!!
Love that car!! The hubcaps are from a newer Cadillac
To me, the hubcaps ruin it. I would have to replace those with correct ones.
"Wheel covers"...

Great content...my father in-law had the same year nice ride!! I owned a 1974 coup unstoppable car !!! If I had a place to store it l would buy it !!
Really sweet leather
Luxury at its best! Daddy’s Caddy! Love it!

First thing I noticed, It looks sloppy. Also the the white on the tires is too wide. They had a thinner whitewall then.
4" wide gangster whitewall tires would look awesome on that black cadillac

Better than an '89 Fleetwood!

But not a 1996
Nice car, I drive an 88 Brougham... I've had a few Fleetwoods over the years.
Absolutely gorgeous.
$27,900 seems like a bargain price for that car.
Really Nice car, wrong hub caps for the year ... but it looks great
Sinceramente magnífico carro !!! BELÉM , PARÁ , BRASIL !!!
Tempting!!! My dad had this same car when I was a kid only it was silver. Same red leather interior
incredible

An Incredibly Beauuuutiful Car!💕
i love these,,, i had a convertable, same year, burgundy with white

very nice
This is the car that Count Dracula would drive, and I mean that as a compliment. 🖤
With almost 60,000 miles on it, I like it, I don't love it. Back then, 60,000 miles was toward the end of a car's life.

This is what I'm talking about now .This is a car
MUST USE PREMIUM FEUL !!! 93 OCTANE MINIMUM

The main feature is a huge trunk
They don't make them like this anymore! 6 mpg, 8 mpg tops on the highway!
