For those of us born on the tail end of the 1960s, early 1970s, today's generation has NO IDEA on what they missed out on as far as cars go. In those days, when you pulled up at Church, a restaurant, bank, etc. in one of these babies, people stopped what they were doing and looked at you with awe and with envy. It was such a status symbol to own and drive those magnificent cars. Today it would take a Rolls Royce to feel that kind of presence driving a car.
Rolls is the only one left. the rest are all mid-size or SUV's. And yes, the younger generations have missed out, but back then was the time we never thought we'd run out of oil. Global WHAT-ING? The "ozone layer"thing wasn't even a rumor...
Amazing that after 43 years this car looks so good...It is showroom quality...They don't make em like this anymore, but need to...With today's tech and new lightweight materials they can make a large car and have it fuel efficient...Nothing beats the space these cars had or the feeling of class..

The extra 3" inches of wheelbase in the pre-1977 Fleetwood models doesn't sound like much, but it's all rear legroom. The Devilles, despite their 9" wheelbase stretch, had (like the other C bodies) only 3" more legroom than an Impala (the rest of the extra wheelbase was under the hood to support the huge engine), but the Fleetwood had 6" more, enough to make the rear seats every bit as comfortable as the front. Sure, a car like this might be impractical if you just want to lug it back and forth to work, but if you actually plan to fill it up with people, it has it all over anything short of a van or maybe a Suburban. With more style than either.
this was back when cadillac was a true luxury car. this is a ture luxury car, oh what i would not give to own one, oh what i would not give just to sit in one for five minutes and maybe drive it around the block once. the interior is massive, need i say more
Didn't read everything but no-one mentioned the LOAD LEVELERS or Climate control or automatic high beams or fiber optics showing all lights whether they are working or not. This car was not only a beautiful land cruising barge that had incredible power for it's size and floated across the roughest terrain but was a technological marvel in it's day. I remember sitting on one of the rear taillight fins where that corner of the car would weigh down and in a second it would lift back up to make the car level. There are so many haters here making stupid remarks who obviously have never rode in one or drove one. These cars are masterpiece and have given me many awesome memories. On the down side, they were expensive to repair and had a million bells and whistles that were all analog and or mechanical. I am afraid the younger generations are just not very appreciative of anything.
Richard Klingler: There is nothing remarkable about the Auto Climate Control then ....just a simple set-up of resistors working on resistance values with a electro-solenoid (no computer). The rear suspension is just air shocks with a simple mechanical arm that trips a relay..........nothing technological about it or leap in engineering. The "fibre optics" .....just transmit light rays......fibre-optic tubes that could be bought at Radio Shack back in the day. I have a 74 Coupe Deville with all the Options including load leveling,etc...yes it floats like a boat from springs that carry barely support the weight of the vehicle if you have more than one passenger or groceries,etc. in the trunk,
Richard Klingler ...yes Richard, automatic level control, twilight sentinel, headlamp control, cruise control, cornering lights, rear window defogger, rear magnified adjustable reading lights, climate control, tilt/telescope steering wheel, fiber optic lamp monitors, power: windows; seats; door locks; power trunk release with pull down and warning light, head rests, rear foot rests, power mirrors, AM/FM signal seeking stereo radio with 8track tape player, radio foot control, power sunroof, trumpet horns, opera lights, padded vinyl roof...to name a “few” and I’ve probably left something out! Our 72 Fleetwood had all but the sun roof, although we did have the leather seats.....beautiful cars indeed!!!!!
This was when Cadillac was a Cadillac. This car has about an acre of leather on the seats. The leather in this car is better quality than what GM is using today.
Hood ornament was part of a package. The basic bage was flat against the hood above the grill while you could get the stand up one in the 60 special package like my Dad's had from factory
Spectacular car! My Aunt had this same car, but in red metallic with a white top, red leather interior. It had an 8 track player and the little waste basket down by the right foot of the outboard front seat passenger. 40/60 split dual power front seat. Power pull down trunk, with a trunk release button in the glove compartment. And in those days, you could pop the trunk while speeding down the highway at 70 MPH. Don't ask me how I know! And no one will ever forget the fold down carpeted foot rests for the two outboard rear seat passengers.
My mom used to be a private nurse for very wealthy patients in Bel Air and Beverly Hills. In 1977 one of her patients passed away and left her his 1973 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham just like this one. He used to be chauffeur driven to his office in it before he got too old and tired to leave the house. The car had only 15K miles on it and it was mirror finish black color with black interior. I was 21 years old at the time and loved to borrow it once in awhile! Nothing like a Cadillac!
Chaleco Salvavides These early 1970s Fleetwoods were the last of the great Cadillacs. How lucky you are to have driven your mom's! I've yet to experience driving a car like this.
Chaleco Salvavides I just watched this video again. This car is going on 43 years old, but it has timeless style. Nothing made today comes even close to the style and detail put into these cars. It's sad that there is hardly a single new car at any price today that I would actually like to have. But I gravitate toward 40 to 50 year old Cadillacs.
CH67guy1 My Grandmother had a 1972 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham exactly like the one in the video but in dark blue metallic with a black top and dark blue leather interior. This was a luxury car..The leather seats were real leather, not like the plastic leather they put in cars today and call it leather. Roomy, quiet, the ride was like floating on air, foot rests for the rear seat passengers, individual lights for the rear passengers.. Exterior said class and luxury, with the coach lights, wheel skirts, corning lamps, this car had it all.. The so called luxury cars of today can not compare to the Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. It's a shame that these cars had to go away, wish they would bring them back.
@george wilson I know, even the CT6 doesn't hold a candle to a Fleetwood Brougham (my personal favorite Cadillac model)! Personally, if I had bought a 1972 Fleetwood Sixty Special Brougham brand new, I also would've special ordered it. The one standard feature I would've at least considered deleting would've been the vinyl roof (as much as I like the look of it) due to their tendency to trap moisture and ultimately rust out the roof. Not to mention, save some money! It could even be ordered that way upon special order, of course. Another thing better about them back then was the ability to choose more color options both exterior and interior. Quite possibly, I would've ordered mine in Russet (a dark yet warm chocolate brown) Firemist Metallic (order code=99; a $128.00 option) with Antique Dark Saddle (a tannish to medium brown) leather upholstery (order code=085; a $169.00 option; better yet, you could even get maximum leather, which used leather in the areas where vinyl was normally applied on the seats, for $325.00 extra on the Fleetwood Brougham in ANY available color, standard or special order!) and IF I had gotten the vinyl roof, it would've been Dark Brown (order code=R; similar in color value to the aforementioned Russet Firemist). An optional feature I also like seeing on these '71-'76 Fleetwoods is the opera lights on the sail panels ('C' pillar), with or, in rare cases, without the vinyl roof.
This is a beautiful car. I liked the 72 interior because it had more chrome. My parents had a 73, with bigger bumpers, the only brights side being that I could stand on top to get more leverage to raise the hood. The 73 door pulls came loose, then broke off. The only thing I don't like about this car is the chrome door edge guards.
A gorgeous Caddy. I like the the finished exterior space in the center pillar between the rear doors just shows what a large luxo cruiser this is, additionally the thin windshield pillars show that the engineers were really concerned about providing great visibility. I wonder how much the lucky owner paid for this one.
I had three of these in my lifetime a 69,70 and a 72 they were extremely dependable the 472 engine delivered unbelievable power and an incredible smooth ride load leveling shocks, cruise control, automatic light dimmers, electrics seats, automatic trunk just too much to list how I wish I had one now.
drooling, this car is perfect, and in unreal condition. this is the ultimate caddy, makes all news cars look like garbage. '72 is the perfect balance between modern technology/design/engineering withOUT being 'federal". It's the most, and least, it can be. awesome machine.
Incredible car. The whole "MAMA WILL LIKE THIS ONE - GRANNY ONLY DROVE IT 3 TIMES SINCE '72 WAKA WAKA WAKA" car-salseman tripe being missing is refreshing. Could do without the GoPro wind noise, though. Spoiled an otherwise decent video. Even though sold, this still needs to be seen. Classy.
Uh-owww, wobbly vision ! Just So glad I don't have a hang-over watching this. It's almost as if this car is travelling at speed along a bumpy highway -whilst being totally stationary. Soon, this type of camera will go the same way as the square wheel. GREAT CAR THO ! Thanks for uploading anyway.
the wire wheels on this car are just beautiful, the 71+72 Cadillac is to me one of the best looking Cads . Sadly the big bumpers the next year ruined the looks of the cars for a while
This car is too beautiful, a piece of art, the luxury cars now look too fat and ugly next to this long and fluid Caddy, it looks smooth when it moves and the interior is perfectly preserved, I need this car just now
BTW if I ever win the lotto I'll be looking for the Fleetwood Cadillacs. BTW you guys did a spectacular job on that 1935 armored truck & photos. Wow ! The pics were awesome and especially that lady security guard & prisoner. . LOL Piece of history preserved. A+++
so why do they make huge pickups and suvs like crazy but not cars like this anymore? i guess the common sense answer would be too small of a market, but is that really true?
***** This car is actually bigger than the biggest SUV's. It's about 10 inches longer & about 2 inches wider than a 2015 Chevy Suburban. I guess the biggest reason is, with all it's size it doesn't hold as many people as an SUV or mini van, but it does ride better and is far more comfortable to sit in compared to any car today. A 2015 Rolls Royce is not as comfortable nor does it ride as nicely as a pre 1977 Caddy Fleetwood.
EbonyBunny1 yeah, i had a 87 brougham and now drive a 91 brougham, i just wish they'd make cars like this again. the only thing really out there in recent years was the grand marquis, town car, and crown vic... and they're not quite as nice. can't stand suvs, they don't have the curves.
***** I haven't liked a Lincoln Town Car since 1989, I never liked the 1990 and newer ones. The only car newer than yous that competes with your car is the 1993-1996 Cadillac Fleetwoods. The 87 & 91 Brougham were basically the same cars, but did you like one over the other.
EbonyBunny1 i didn't really like the 93-96 fleetwoods, they looked weird to me. well my 87 was a d'elegance and also had the 5.7 liter so it wouldn't be fair to compare. it also had leather seats which i didn't like as much, but it had the cool automatic adjusting rear view mirror and analog clock. i like small things like that in addition to the sexy body such as the gas tank behind the license plate... on first dates i love asking the girl to fill up my gas for me and watching her as she struggles to find the gas cap lol, confused face is priceless.
***** I have a 1951 Caddy, and if you think it's funny having the gas tank behind the license plate, mine is in the tail light lol. You push the reflector button and the taillight pops up and you fill the tank that way. I like the d'elegance, they are nice cars and I like the pillowy seats. I never liked leather seats. The only cars I liked with leather seats were the 1974-1775 Imperial, and the 1976-1978 Chrysler New Yorker. They had the same type of pillowy seats like the Fleetwood d'elegance, but I like cloth much better than the leather of the Fleetwoods.
Big beautiful American luxury barge...that big wide 472 V8 pushed those heavy bastards around like they were a toy....I shoved a performance built 500 Caddy in my 81 T/A...it's a tire smoking sideways driving monster now....God bless big blocks!
Hello I hope you read this: I do own a black 1972 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Series 62 like the one in the video, please awnser me this question. What rims are these, they look great on the car and i would like them on mine as well. Best regards Rodati
We agree however we are not the people how built this particular car. Thus the previous owners personal taste was a little different than ours! To each their own.
+Brian Thorpe I think it was. I was there and I mostly remember the Firemist colors. I think white was more common than black as well. I don't know the official numbers though.
Thank you CarLuvrSD I think I am gonna hold on to the blk one I have then I don't see alot of factory black ones neither. I was alway feeling it is a little special when I bought it i wish I knew the numbers produced in the color and color of seat combinations the one I have is black with white leather seats.
Man that engine and exhaust are REALLY loud for a Cadillac.. that baby should be whisper quiet, purring like a kitten.. not like a milk can truck coming down the street.
I'm wonder if this car was a funeral home limo. Usually they have lower than usual miles on them along with hearses. And with it being triple black as well leads one to think it was used as such. Awesome car nonetheless.
stutzman2 This isn't a limo, this is a typical sized car in the 1970's. A 1972 Imperial was even bigger than this car. A mid sized car in the 1970's was bigger than ant full sized car today. It's funny the smaller cars got, the bigger people got lol.
stutzman2 It could have been, but could have also just been purchased by someone older, that didn't drive much. These were popular cars & black was probably the most popular color.
That's a beautiful car, However it does seem like a really poor choice of places to stop and film the car the middle of a road with blind curves??? what the hell's the matter with you?
Really nice car, however, that’s called 9-10 miles a gallon. OUCH! If Americans and Canadians drove big cars like they did back in the early Seventies today, world oil prices would be north of $150 a barrel for sure.
That cae is just wrong. Its lines are broken, it has no aerodynamic flare, it has the chassis of a 19th century horse drawn carriage, it corners like a cow, it's completely impractical so why do I want it more than anything in the world?
"The cherries are sour," the fox said, it couldn't reach them. I drove a 1973 Cadillac for nine years. Over 60K miles from 1987-1994 in Denmark. Would love to have one again. Wonderful cars, smooth ride and great road holding.
If everyone wanted aerodynamics and handling we'd all be driving supercars. Fortunately people with style like us see impracticality as a measure for how awesome it is. Thanks for watching, be sure to check out our 200+ other large barges and cars filled with awesomness at motoexotica.com
ali Servan you obviously have no taste in quality. This is a true american classic. i would much rather be driving one of these than the pieces of shit that are comming off the line today. you must be a toyota or a honda fan oh well whatever

Lord have mercy this thing is gorgeous!
This is truly a king car.
Absolutely gorgeous!! One day I'll have the money for one like that.
Absolutely Gorgeous Caddy! I'll take it any day over the '94-'96 vintage!!!

daved1974 Yeah, I hear you man.
My Dad had one when I was little. Kids could disappear in the footwells
daved1974 my 1990 Cadillac Brougham D'Elegance is very much a wonderful luxury liner! My 91 Fleetwood Coupe is quite cozy as well!
Didn't read everything but no-one mentioned the LOAD LEVELERS or Climate control or automatic high beams or fiber optics showing all lights whether they are working or not. This car was not only a beautiful land cruising barge that had incredible power for it's size and floated across the roughest terrain but was a technological marvel in it's day. I remember sitting on one of the rear taillight fins where that corner of the car would weigh down and in a second it would lift back up to make the car level. There are so many haters here making stupid remarks who obviously have never rode in one or drove one. These cars are masterpiece and have given me many awesome memories. On the down side, they were expensive to repair and had a million bells and whistles that were all analog and or mechanical. I am afraid the younger generations are just not very appreciative of anything.
Yep, not even a shot of the dash during start-up.
A blast from the bast . 🇰🇼

GM's quality dropped so far in the 80s and 90s it'll take them til 2050 to get it back.
Man Idk what you talking about, them new caddy's go crazy. The 2021-22 escalade is easily one of the best cadillac's ever produced
@@TeamRocketWes Escapade is nothing more than a over optioned Chevy truck.
Great car. The hood ornament was added as were the wire wheels. The 4-door Fleetwoods were grand cars that some owners preferred to have a driver.
Hood ornament was part of a package. The basic bage was flat against the hood above the grill while you could get the stand up one in the 60 special package like my Dad's had from factory
My 72 coupe had an hood emblem. That car was a beast.
My very first car was a 72 Cadillac Fleetwood and my best car of my life
I bought the car when I was 18 and I sold it when I was 33 and I'm missing ever since I bought it 1978
Just beautiful. Cruising down the highway with your legs stretched out in the back while someone else drives is the way to cover the big miles.
Wow what a great car!
I hade a 72 fleetwood 40 years ago, my very first car. lot of road trips in that baby!
Spectacular car!
My Aunt had this same car, but in red metallic with a white top, red leather interior.

A classic beauty.
Very beautiful pics . Nice car . A real Elvis - class Caddy !
Incredible car. The whole "MAMA WILL LIKE THIS ONE - GRANNY ONLY DROVE IT 3 TIMES SINCE '72 WAKA WAKA WAKA" car-salseman tripe being missing is refreshing. Could do without the GoPro wind noise, though. Spoiled an otherwise decent video. Even though sold, this still needs to be seen. Classy.
Stunning
Nice. LUV the color
And still beautiful
Uh-owww, wobbly vision ! Just So glad I don't have a hang-over watching this. It's almost as if this car is travelling at speed along a bumpy highway -whilst being totally stationary.

Magnificent!
the wire wheels on this car are just beautiful, the 71+72 Cadillac is to me one of the best looking Cads . Sadly the big bumpers the next year ruined the looks of the cars for a while
I think the ride competes with anything made today.
is that original Fleetwood? Please, how much did it sell for?
America's Rolls-Royce
This car is too beautiful, a piece of art, the luxury cars now look too fat and ugly next to this long and fluid Caddy, it looks smooth when it moves and the interior is perfectly preserved, I need this car just now
Very nice car !!!!

great car wow
so why do they make huge pickups and suvs like crazy but not cars like this anymore? i guess the common sense answer would be too small of a market, but is that really true?
***** This car is actually bigger than the biggest SUV's. It's about 10 inches longer & about 2 inches wider than a 2015 Chevy Suburban. I guess the biggest reason is, with all it's size it doesn't hold as many people as an SUV or mini van, but it does ride better and is far more comfortable to sit in compared to any car today. A 2015 Rolls Royce is not as comfortable nor does it ride as nicely as a pre 1977 Caddy Fleetwood.
EbonyBunny1 yeah, i had a 87 brougham and now drive a 91 brougham, i just wish they'd make cars like this again. the only thing really out there in recent years was the grand marquis, town car, and crown vic... and they're not quite as nice. can't stand suvs, they don't have the curves.
***** I haven't liked a Lincoln Town Car since 1989, I never liked the 1990 and newer ones. The only car newer than yous that competes with your car is the 1993-1996 Cadillac Fleetwoods. The 87 & 91 Brougham were basically the same cars, but did you like one over the other.
EbonyBunny1 i didn't really like the 93-96 fleetwoods, they looked weird to me. well my 87 was a d'elegance and also had the 5.7 liter so it wouldn't be fair to compare. it also had leather seats which i didn't like as much, but it had the cool automatic adjusting rear view mirror and analog clock. i like small things like that in addition to the sexy body such as the gas tank behind the license plate... on first dates i love asking the girl to fill up my gas for me and watching her as she struggles to find the gas cap lol, confused face is priceless.
***** I have a 1951 Caddy, and if you think it's funny having the gas tank behind the license plate, mine is in the tail light lol. You push the reflector button and the taillight pops up and you fill the tank that way.
I like the d'elegance, they are nice cars and I like the pillowy seats. I never liked leather seats. The only cars I liked with leather seats were the 1974-1775 Imperial, and the 1976-1978 Chrysler New Yorker. They had the same type of pillowy seats like the Fleetwood d'elegance, but I like cloth much better than the leather of the Fleetwoods.
That’s one sexy car
Big beautiful American luxury barge...that big wide 472 V8 pushed those heavy bastards around like they were a toy....I shoved a performance built 500 Caddy in my 81 T/A...it's a tire smoking sideways driving monster now....God bless big blocks!
WOW WOW WOW!
had one kind like this back in the day
We owned this identical car.
We used to have these in the Netherlands, usually driving for undertakers...
Back when Caddies had BALLS.
@Bradley Greenwood The Fleetwood was the alpha male of Cadillacs!
DREAAAM!!!!
Hello I hope you read this:
I do own a black 1972 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Series 62 like the one in the video, please awnser me this question.
What rims are these, they look great on the car and i would like them on mine as well.
Best regards
Rodati
Beautiful car, but the camera work is giving me a headache
I gotta 1972 caddillac fleetwood lime green look just like this one everything original in mines still but yours was in wayyyy better condition
Big pimpin P.I.M.P 😎
that there is peak Cadillac. even when driven with flip-flops and ripped jeans
the leather on the Fleetwood's seems of a higher quality.
Belle voiture
A living room on wheels, what a beauty. Anyone know how much MPG this would get?
Who cares? When quality looks this good, why would mileage be your primary concern? Listening to it idle is enough reward on its own.
Does the car have a Ford 427 engine or is that a misprint ?
Just change those wheels.
nice Cadillac. did it have dual exhaust system? sounded like it had a set of dual mufflers on it. sweet Cadillac nontheless.
+Eric Haley Yes I believe this car has dual exhaust. It sounds like it might have aftermarket mufflers too.
Yeah that's what I thought
We agree however we are not the people how built this particular car. Thus the previous owners personal taste was a little different than ours! To each their own.
V8 👏👏👏👏👍😶🇧🇷
2 SWEEEEET!!!!!!!
Was it built before Jan of 72 ?
what was the cubic inch displacement of the engine ,I heard it was 400 plus
ED GREGORY 472 Cubic Inches.
Is it true black is a rare color?
+Brian Thorpe I think it was. I was there and I mostly remember the Firemist colors. I think white was more common than black as well. I don't know the official numbers though.
Thank you CarLuvrSD I think I am gonna hold on to the blk one I have then I don't see alot of factory black ones neither. I was alway feeling it is a little special when I bought it i wish I knew the numbers produced in the color and color of seat combinations the one I have is black with white leather seats.
Sedan Deville 72 not a fleetwood though.
Brian Thorpe it's a Fleetwood. SDV's did not have the pillar between the front and rear doors
It's so big there is a space between the front and back doors, go look
Definitely an awesome automobile in its day but this one's engine is ready to blow the fuck up.
You could not keep these engines quiet, always an exhaust leak or valves rattling. Just a tank engine.
WAAAWWOWW..AMAAAZEIEE.😍💯
How much it go for ?
Has been sold?
Man that engine and exhaust are REALLY loud for a Cadillac.. that baby should be whisper quiet, purring like a kitten.. not like a milk can truck coming down the street.
got them orginal swagas lol
Chaney_010_ Finesse They did not have those real wires in '72...came out a few years later.
Wonder what the mpgs are on that hog?
8 city 10 hwy 😬
This video makes the car look like a low rider in south of the border.
and it sounds like it;s underwater! What's up?
I'm wonder if this car was a funeral home limo. Usually they have lower than usual miles on them along with hearses. And with it being triple black as well leads one to think it was used as such. Awesome car nonetheless.
stutzman2 This isn't a limo, this is a typical sized car in the 1970's. A 1972 Imperial was even bigger than this car. A mid sized car in the 1970's was bigger than ant full sized car today. It's funny the smaller cars got, the bigger people got lol.
I should have said funeral home car instead of limo.
stutzman2 It could have been, but could have also just been purchased by someone older, that didn't drive much. These were popular cars & black was probably the most popular color.
Gothic.
Nice car but really poor editing on the sound.
I can smell the gasoline from here
please give me cadillac ,,, send to bali
+I Made Suardika I'll see what we can do...
+MotoeXotica Classic Cars pleaseee i am really lovee ur car..
travis barker drumer blink 182 use cadilac also,,
Carlitos way !
I dont care how long it takes me I will own her and she will be in my garage and I will wash her everday.
That's a beautiful car, However it does seem like a really poor choice of places to stop and film the car the middle of a road with blind curves??? what the hell's the matter with you?
thanks for ruining this video with image stabilization
Really nice car, however, that’s called 9-10 miles a gallon. OUCH!
If Americans and Canadians drove big cars like they did back in the early Seventies today, world oil prices would be north of $150 a barrel for sure.
Nice but looks like it came from a funeral home!
😳😳👍👍👍🥇🥇🥇🎰🎰😬💥🎉
Best demo-derby car there is, just shift into R for 'race' ! lol
That cae is just wrong. Its lines are broken, it has no aerodynamic flare, it has the chassis of a 19th century horse drawn carriage, it corners like a cow, it's completely impractical so why do I want it more than anything in the world?
"The cherries are sour," the fox said, it couldn't reach them.
I drove a 1973 Cadillac for nine years. Over 60K miles from 1987-1994 in Denmark. Would love to have one again.
Wonderful cars, smooth ride and great road holding.
KoldingDenmark Thanks for watching, sour grapes aren't for everyone. :)
If everyone wanted aerodynamics and handling we'd all be driving supercars. Fortunately people with style like us see impracticality as a measure for how awesome it is. Thanks for watching, be sure to check out our 200+ other large barges and cars filled with awesomness at motoexotica.com
ali Servan you obviously have no taste in quality. This is a true american classic. i would much rather be driving one of these than the pieces of shit that are comming off the line today. you must be a toyota or a honda fan oh well whatever
daved1974 Did you even bother to read to the end of the sentence?
>>VERY BAD SOUND!!
Beautiful
