This example has the Fleetwood Brougham's standard Magi Matelasse Cloth and Leather upholstery. Optional were the all leather and Medici crushed velour interiors. The 1973 year is my favorite of the 1971-1976 era.
Cadillac sure knew how to build 'em. I lived in Detroit at the time and i remember driving on I-75 by the Cadillac Plant almost every day and thinking that the people building them were lucky.
Great car to take a long trip in, alot of gasoline stops along the way but its worth it, these cars are very dependable I have a 1969 Coupe Deville it runs great.
It's taken me more than thirty years to appreciate the front and rear end of the seventy three Caddys, I thought was a little understated and subdued for what Cadillacs were in this era.
What your viewing is a true, authentic, iron clad Caddy folks.... and it looks like one really good example that was taken care of. Probably lived it's entire life in southern Florida too.
This baby makes me think of The Spinners hits! I’d love nothing more than to get behind the wheel of it and drive it to Detroit as an ode to it’s existence!
I wish I hadn't watched this video. Had one. Bought it from my Dad. Burnt orange, lite tan top, funny puke green interior. Had everything this car has AND chrome window shades. I'm crying. 472 ci. Got it up to 106mph. Scared the heck out of me, but was still smooth riding. I ended up putting air shocks on the back. I used to let the air out so it'd sit low. Put 15" spoke rims on it and smaller white walls. It was so clean and classy.
Mark Stengel The sticker identifier is 502 which confuses people because it’s too close to the number 500 as was used in Eldorado in ‘70 to ‘76 and the other full-size ‘75 & ‘76. Cadillac didn’t make a 502.
I want to be taken to the time machine this truly beautiful automobile. I can imagine that the Cadillac has never been driven in snow that usually contains rust making salt. Or acid rain which is every where.
I had a 1976 Fleetwood in dark blue with only 27k on it in the same condition. But by then the 500 cubic inches engine was so detuned that it only put out about 200 hp. Still floated down the road
I love the 1973s because they had the most horsepower in all of the 1970s era Cadillac's. The 472 Engine was rated at 375 HP that year in 1973 for some odd reason being the model year before and after were around 205 and 210 give or take but still had massive toque ratings. After the 472 engine was discontinued by the late 70s then the 425 came out and even that was low horsepower but high toque. Thanks for your upload and gave a thumbs up for you.
Keep the fluids clean and change the oil at 2000 - 3000 miles. I would run a gas additive if the valve seats are original. Old cars used leaded gas and the valve seats were soft until 1974. Auto shops will tell you what to do. Otherwise you got a Nice Car. Auto parts stores sell owners manuals also so its good to have one to learn more about your cool ride. You take care and Happy Holidays.
@@jackgentry5603 It sounds like it is running nice from the way it sounds on the video. I wouldn't change or rebuild unless it starts getting leaks or flooding issues. Old carbs don't like ethanol so try to avoid gas with high concentrations that are over the ten percent added by gas some fuel company's out there.

I absolutely love the 1973 Cadillac de Ville and Fleetwod cars. Not so much the Eldorado because of the rear end. Drove a Coupe de Ville for 9 years and truly enjoyed every mile. What surprises me here is that this Fleetwood Brougham does not have a right hand side mirror.
Sir at the time this Cadillac was fresh from the assembly line it was a Fleetwood only. They did use the Brougham in 1980, no sooner than that. Only trying to be informed not trying to insult any one.
Frank Lee, The Brougham was a trim level on the Fleetwood - right from the 1973 Brochure. In 1980 or so, all Fleetwoods were Fleetwood Broughams and the upscale trim package was the d'Elegance (Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance). When Cadillac brought out the front wheel drive Coupe and Sedan Devilles in 1985, they still had the Fleetwood Brougham and Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance. There was some confusion so in 1987, the rear wheel drive cars were just Brougham and Brougham d'elegance. In 1993, the RWD car was totally redesigned and the names were again Fleetwood and Fleetwood Brougham. Cadillac brochures page: www.lov2xlr8.no/cadillac.html
I had the same year same color with midnight blue leather interior. Those are the real - the best bumpers front and back that protect the car. I hit a tree going 5 mph and it bounced back. I loved that car. Other Caddilacs I've owned are the 77, 78 Fleetwood Brougham, 78 Eldorado, 85 TownCar Cartier, 95 MB S320, 03 Buick Park Avenue Ultra. Favorite: 1. MB S320 - pure luxury, handling, steering lighter than a feather, mpg., reliabe, great ride. Nothing compares to a W140 S Class. NOTHING! 2. 73 Fleetwood - solid, steering, handling, limousine big, leather in abundance. Room like no other, but slow. Chrome chrome chrome. 3. Buick PA Ultra. Fast, good mpg, great ride, handles good. Sporty and luxury. Today I drive a 2003 Buick Park Avenue Ultra.

An American luxury legend from a beautiful car company in a bygone era....i miss those days and these cars...
It's taken me more than thirty years to appreciate the front and rear end of the seventy three Caddys, I thought was a little understated and subdued for what Cadillacs were in this era.
We haven't had one like this one in many years now.
My uncle had the 1969 version, same color combination even to the blue cloth interior. Thanks for the memories. And this one is beautiful too!
71-73 my favorites with the turn signals between the headlights and highbeams.
NOW THIS... is a CADILLAC!
I have one just like it- was my grandfathers. I drive it about twice a year... runs great
CRF/VFR/KTM/G35 Adventures same here. I have my Grandfathers also and drive it a few times a year.. other than that, it stays in the garage...
What your viewing is a true, authentic, iron clad Caddy folks.... and it looks like one really good example that was taken care of. Probably lived it's entire life in southern Florida too.
I like all Cadillacs, 1976 & older. This is a nice looking one.
At the time this car was made, these were the American Rolls Royce, though not hand built,and made in much greater numbers!
Now that's a beautiful caddy I would love to own that car!!
This baby makes me think of The Spinners hits! I’d love nothing more than to get behind the wheel of it and drive it to Detroit as an ode to it’s existence!
Wow it has foot rests for the back seat. Luxury
city0166 Yeah Fleetwood,s back in the day had those
This was luxury in the 70s and I like it
The older Fleetwood Broughams also had walnut veneer door trim and table trays
My Uncle had one just like this. You could not keep that exhaust quiet that big ole V8. Loved that care.
azimmey yes you could seal and shim the pipes where the leak is?
azimmey
Never had problems with mine.
Gorgeous automobile! The epitome of class and beauty! 🌹

This was the cream of Cadillac line up except the Limo. 502 cubic inches. A true highway machine. Simply beautiful
Only the Eldorado has 502 cubic inches in 1973.
Actually it was a 472 cu with 230 horsepower.
Mark Stengel they only went up to 500 cubic inch?

bluesharp59 I bought this car buddy. Any advice to make it run absolutely perfectly? I’m not an expert but I’d love to learn

What surprises me here is that this Fleetwood Brougham does not have a right hand side mirror.
Surprised me too, I believe it was a $50 option
Very clean.
Damn!! That is 1 bad ass Fleetwood Brougham...
Thanks, We're asking $16,995

I had a 74 Coupe...LOVED IT
I had the same year same color with midnight blue leather interior. Those are the real - the best bumpers front and back that protect the car. I hit a tree going 5 mph and it bounced back.

3. Buick PA Ultra. Fast, good mpg, great ride, handles good. Sporty and luxury.
Today I drive a 2003 Buick Park Avenue Ultra.
Actually, 1973 was the first year for 5 MPH bumpers on Cadillacs!
@@CH67guy1 Solid steel bumpers with shocks.
73s were beautiful
😲 wow...no words 😍
The 73 was a nice year. I love the rear bumper before it was ruined by the 5mph bumper mandated 74 rear bumper.
Beautiful luxury car
Hermoso 😍😍😍 automóvil!
Beautiful car!
Booyyyy...that's right! Forget all these computerized plastic shits that roll out today. Even the hood slams with authority
Beautiful beautiful car
Love the color, and this is longer than your standard Sedan DeVille. I’m guessing it’s a Brougham, or Series 75?
ART
WOW that's stunning! Do you perhaps have the exact color name?
No,the title said blue.
Cadillac called it Antigua Blue (metallic) with Dark Blue Vinyl Roof and Dark Blue Brocade Cloth and Leather interior. @@KarConnectioninc
Gorgeous

Gangster ass car
Chris Jones
No - but Old money class.
