85 Fleetwood Brougham Coupe, that’s a bit of a rare bird these days.
The ones I've encountered were turned into lowriders
Occasionally I see one for sale. They seem to sell higher than 4 door coupes. Anthony from Specialty Motor cars has a few he has collected and seen in his video's. One he recently got was an early 80's with blue velour interior.
2dr Fleetwood Brougham is rare get hard to find super luxury almost $30000 back in the day
@@junali94 crime against humanity especially on 50s cars. What happens when they gotta sell them who tf gonna aonce original car that’s been decked out with bullshit
I have an 83, and I’m never selling it. I love it!
1985 my favorite year & body style of Cadillacs. Eldorado with stainless brushed roof outstanding ❤
1985 I was 16 years old just got my drivers license and my parents bought me a new Cadillac Eldorado convertible I was so excited an happy with that car I still own today I knew the Eldorado was going to be totally redesigned for 86 an I barely drove my Cadillac 38 years later I have only 48 thousand miles on my convertible
Its mind blowing that a 1985 Chevy Caprice had a 165 HP 305 V8 but the best and most powerful V8 in any Cadillac in these years was a 135 HP HT 4100. And the Caprice was around 13K new versus well over 20 for the Deville/Fleetwood!
Loved my 85 Eldorado Coupe in Jade Grey, white leather interior and white cabriolet top. Wish I still had it. Best design of all the Eldorados, along with the Original Seville.
These were great cars from a great era !! These Cadillacs were the kings of the road, at that time !
I owned a 1985 elegante as shown here for 16 years here in Bavaria, imported from Florida 🇺🇸
Got to love those Cadillac's real luxury back in the day
My dream car is that ‘85 Eldorado Biarritz convertible 😍😍😍
That red color is super snazzy, but I personally love the blue color
The interiors look like a Belgium bordello.
any one notice they didnt even mention the cimaron or the new for 1985 smaller deville. like they were embarrassed by something
This is part two of a video presentation laser disc mentioned at the top of the header.
I can still hear the rear suspension trying to level.
Standard equipment was an eventual catastrophic water leak. The Olds 307 saved GM's big car bacon after that mess.
The Oldsmobile and Buick had the more reliable 5.0 V8 ( 307 ) engines for their full-sized luxury cars .
My father in law had a special edition eldorado from Bramen Cadilliac in Florida , it was one of only 5 made with the colors of Gucci. His was silver with gold accents of Gucci emblems. The landau top was Gucci signature material, as was the interior seating. Very nice.
By the 1980s though, European and Asian automakers were proving that luxury and good handling could combine in the same package
But they didn't have baby making couch seats
@@V8_screw_electric_cars 🤣🤣
AND NOW we have hard riding, hard seating, and low profile tires that blow out on potholes......screw them, give me one of these, no other car rode like a Cadillac
This is great! Pls keep posting!

The two most important features... It can hold 10 brothers and the cigarette lighter worked
I drove a 1982 Fleetwood Diesel back in 1986
Compared to today's vehicles where you sit in grey blob with an Ipad stuck on the dash. I knew two gals with the red Eldo convertible back in the day. It was a head turner going down the road because everyone knew it was, like, $36K to buy one.
Cool video
@5:45 that horse was like... "OH s#@*". 🤣
Exciting features such as a fuel data panel. . . The 130hp Roger Smith era.
I once had a 1989 Brougham. It always drove me nuts that there was a blank panel just to the right of the climate control panel. It makes sense that the '89's carburetor 307 Olds would not have the ability to feed the fuel data panel, but I wonder if the optional diesel in 1985 also put a blank in the same spot? I would think so.
Before those trip computers where put in those cars in 1981, that spot on the 1977 - 1980 rear wheel drive Cadillacs was for the rear window defog switch and/or the power antennae shut off switch.
@@andrewcolsen Cool. My memory is fuzzy, but I think the rear defrost was moved to the climate control, and by the time of the trip computer maybe it didn’t matter if the radio antenna was controlled only by the radio.
@josephvetter7085: Yup the diesel and V6 models had a blank panel there. It was supposed to be a sensor for an optional remote control for the climate control and radio but I've never seen one with that feature. Hindsight 20/20 they should've put a digital compass there.
CORY,, GROWING UP MY FAMILY PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS HAD 1985 CADDY FLEETWOODS ,,SMOOTH RIDE .. I TOOK OVER ON THEM AND DROVE THEM TO HIGH SCHOOL.. BIG AND SMOOTH,, GREAT BACK SEATS WHEN HAVING A DATE..ELDORADO OK SMALLER CAR..THE SEVILLES ARE AWFUL,,, A GRAND GRILL BUT THE BACK END CUT DOWN ...THATS NO CADDYYYYY!!!!! I DROVE IT ONCE AND IT WAS LIKE DRIVING A PINTO.. THANKS....
Was the 1985 Eldorado convertible done by ASC?
I believe so and I think they did the cabriolet tops also. Seems like I read that someplace. They had a facility close to the car production facility.
Yes and also H&E.. This one is an ASC conversion. The quarter window is different on the Hess versions.
I love these old Cadillacs from the 80s but get rid of the 4100 engines.
did you recently come accross a box of these tapes and films I see my feed blowing up with this stuff due to the algorithm
I think the legacy of 36 yrs ended around 1980 something. I choked when I heard that.
What in the hell is "digital fuel injection"?😄
Microprocessor-controlled EFI. The imports of that era were still using the old style Bosch analog injection, like the first gen Seville.
The 368 was a wonderful engine,the others garbage
I had da beautiful Coupe. Fully equipped, Astroroof, limited slip, AWESOME MASTERPIECE. But, dat 4.1 dissatisfied for such luxury. Wen I had 6ppl in it lord was it slow from stand still trying to reach highway nominal speeds. But, it was beautiful, I had da Caddy tru spokes & VOGUE tyres. White exterior, red leather interior. I wish I kept in in my garage
Those cars were beautiful but the 4.1 made them unreliable
So underpowered it wasn't funny
Enough of the polo shtick. Beautiful cars..garbage engines
