Owning and Riding in an 8 Passenger 1977 Cadillac Fleetwood Factory Limousine | Throdle Car App

- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2024
- Have you ever seen an original factory limousine? Throdle app member, Norman, from Missouri invites Nadine into his custom garage with 9000 car memorabilia to check out his 8 passenger 1977 Cadillac Fleetwood Factory Limousine named "Emily."
Norman shows off some old Cadillac Dealer Books - upholstery, exterior and merchandising guide for you to choose your options. 'Emily' is painted in Jennifer Blue on the exterior, and Florentine Blue on the interior. We also get to see the actual advertisements run for the limousine back in the day.
The fins at the back where the tail lights are to pay homage to the fins on the Cadillacs of the 60s.
Under the hood, it's got a 185 HP, 7 L engine with a single four-barrel carburetor. This limousine model did not have a divider window between the Chauffeur and the passengers unlike Cadillac's Formal Limousine.
The car is also long, being 244 inches long with a 144 inch wheel base to seat eight people. The limo was originally used for by a law firm in Minnesota to take attorneys to and from airports. And with just about any other limo from its time, most other parts are standard, including automatic climate and level control, a dual accessory control panel, power antenna and remote control mirrors.

Nice I love the classics !!
Norman has plenty more in his garage. Just wait and see! 😉
Probably has a beautiful collection can’t wait to see !
The count from counts kustom’s will dig this caddy ! Love it
@@ChrisHondaProductions oh hope he gets to see it!
Tagged counts kustom’s on fb shared the vid hopefully he does 🙏
When I was in high school (I graduated in '68) our family car was a '60 Cadillac limousine. There were eight of us, so it fit. It was very comfortable. We got used to it. It had originally been owned by a mortuary, so it was in very good, low miles, condition. I loved that car. My current car is an '85 Eldorado Biarritz. I've had it fifteen years, and plan to keep it. You keep on enjoying yours.
Wow just like the show Eight is enough 😁😂 very nice the Biarritz! We have more of Normans car collection coming up - actually you can see the over view of it here - ruclips.net/video/JtPe4oYUaGg/видео.html
Glad you’re keeping yours! 👍
I used to know a lady whose father bought Chrysler 7 passenger sedans back in the 40s and 50s as they had a large family, too. It sounds a lot nicer than the SUVs of today.
@@1940limited You're right. Back in the sixties SUVs hadn't been invented. The Chevy Suburban was still a work truck. The alternative for a large family was a nine passenger station wagon. The limousine was more attractive and comfortable. Factory limousines are very rare. The rented monstrosities of the past few decades are sedans, which have been stretched in the midde. A limousine has a rectangular window in the door, and a smaller window behind it. The proportions are much nicer.
that guy fits perfectly to this car
He sure does. We featured his Ford Galaxie as well if you’re interested in taking a look!
This model Cadillac was the first limousine I was ever a passenger in. My parents rented a silver version for my date and I for the junior-senior prom, in Ferndale MI. it was held at the Pine Knob Mansion in Clarkston, MI. We also went to downtown Detroit and visited the lounge in the Renaissance Center hotel called The Summit. At that time the lounge revolved with beautiful views of Canada and metro Detroit. It was my first visit to The Summit, years later it became a favorite place to go for drinks, especially when a snowstorm was brewing. It was so relaxing to have few cocktails, sit back, and watch the snow fly outside. It felt like you were inside a huge snow globe. I visited the hotel a few other times in Cadillac and Lincoln limousines, it was always a treat to pull up to the entrance and have the doorman swing into action opening the rear door, and help you out of those beautiful limousines.
What a fantastic experience for you in high school, thanks for sharing! Will have to check out that lounge next time in Michigan. You’re absolutely right about it being a treat.
We will be releasing another of Norman’s cars later this week a Ford Galaxie Xl/500 and more of his older Cadillacs in the upcoming weeks. So do subscribe to the channel to be notified if it’s of interest.
Hope you get to treat yourself to some nice rides every once in awhile!
There was never another car manufactured that has been so collectable and cherished in the American psyche than Cadillac. The family of my best friend when I was growing up bought a 1977 Sedan de Ville brand new. I'll never forget how special that car was. Lincoln and Chrysler did their best to top Cadillac, and present their products to the public at a cheaper price, but nothing could top a Cadillac. Absolutely wonderful video.
Thank you so much and for sharing your memories with us. We love hearing about how special these cars were to folks. Interesting to see the evolution of Cadillac now… if you say today’s Chrysler versus Cadillac would Cadillac still come out on top?
@@Throdle You’re very welcome. Wow, that is such a good question! I think Cadillac’s value in the US is truly psychological. Otherwise, Cadillacs of the 1970’s are virtually no different than any other luxury car offered in those days. Each brand has its own pluses and minuses. As for how Cadillacs of today compare with other domestic luxury brands, that one’s a question that requires some good thought in order to come up with an appropriate answer. Offhand, I bias toward Cadillac, if for no other reason but the fact that it remains a very special brand of luxury that sticks in my psyche. It’s value is probably purely sentimental for me. Do I think Cadillacs of today will be regarded as classics like the 1977’s? I really doubt it. With the increasing globalization of concepts and ideas happening right now, there is nothing being produced anymore that authentically says “AMERICA.” It seems like the American identity is steadily being absorbed into the global conglomerate to such an extent that nothing is special or sacred anymore. For me, today’s Cadillac remains special, so I go for Cadillac. But that doesn’t mean Lincoln or Chrysler aren’t turning out some nice things as well. All that being said, it’s difficult to distinguish between domestic and imported cars these days, and that really grieves me.
@@TVHouseHistorian love your perspective!
Truly appreciate this 1977 Cadillac Fleetwood. Can’t blv the length of this car & sure loved his comments
Woohoo. Just wait for his other Cadillacs coming out
A freind of mine recently sold a 6-door stretched 2005 Caddy limo. Talk about long!
I owned 3 back in the day,! What a ride ! My first was a powder blue coupe leather interior and the dark blue padded padded roof with the opera light's. Wish I still had today !!!
Thanks for sharing!
I love these "living room on wheels". This one is absolutely magnificent. It looks to have been maintained in tip top condition and garaged. The ride quality is so smooth, you'd barely feel like you were moving. They've got computer controlled ride control nowadays but this was just a well engineered union of spring rate and shock absorbers. And of course mile deep upholstery didn't hurt either.
Absolutely you're spot on! Norman has done a great job taking care of this beautiful limo. Thanks for your comment and sharing!
We used two 1986 Lincoln Town Cars for our May 1990 wedding. The 89's were the last year for vintage Lincoln Town Car looks. Nice video!
Fantastic memory you shared with us. Thank you and congrats!
Hope you’ll check out our Ford Galaxie XL/500 dropping soon and some of our other videos on the channel.
Amazing video. I once had a 89 Fleetwood that I drove for a few years. Those were the days I miss I was in my 20's..... now I am in my 40's
You had such a cool ride back in the day 🙌
This is an absolutely beautiful 1977 Cadillac Fleetwood limo, and yes if I could, I would use the limo as a daily driver.
I will always remember, Elvis Presley’s funeral back in 1977, Elvis had ten white Cadillac Fleetwood factory limousines, plus the funeral hearse.
Wow had forgotten about Elvis. It is a lovely limo and very comfortable 👍
@@Throdle
Oh yes, as far as I am aware, Elviis had a standing order with Cadillac division of General Motors, that in the event of his death , Ten new Cadillac Fleetwood limousines, would be supplied for his funeral, and all must be White. Truly a great man, with great taste in cars 🚙.
@@paulpalmtree9295 Surprised he didn't ask for them to be in pink!!! Check out this article on his collection - www.gq-magazine.co.uk/lifestyle/article/elvis-presley-car-collection
You are right, he had some amazing ones :-)
Owned a 1978 Fleetwood limousine like this one - without partition - for a number of years and drove over 60K miles in it. It was black with a black vinyl top and grey velour interior. Completely stock. No boomerang antenna, which I don't like. We only added telephones front and rear with a public and private number to switch between. This is a downsize limousine. But regardless it being a pre- or post-downsize model, the limousines without partition are always more comfortable for the driver, unless the driver is short. I myself am 1,85 meter, and I am too tall for a partition limousine for a long drive.
I can drive very comfortably in this non-partition limousine for hours on end.
I used it for my livery business driving airline crews to and from the airport. Also did a lot of weddings and a number of proms. If we had to go to social events ourselves, we hired a chauffeur and sat in the back ourselves. When I sold it, it had driven over 200K miles and was still running strong. It was a VERY strong and reliable car. I am looking for a similar limousine again, as we want one for when we
retire.
Wow unbelievable it was still running so well at 200k! Back then adding a phone was huge your clients must’ve been happy. It would be nice to retire and take it travelling on road trips. It is very luxurious and easy to drive. Thanks for sharing!
We’ve got Norman’s barn video already on our channel and are releasing his Ford Galaxie XL/500 tomorrow. If you’re interested in watching it feel free to subscribe to get alerted when it’s uploaded!
All the best in your search b
Wonderful vid ! The Fleetwood 75 series ..... The Queen Bee of all Cadillac's ... the ultimate ride .... The hearse models ... the final ride
Indeed…. Beautiful Cadillac. Hope you get to watch some of the other videos we have featuring Norman. We will be posting more of his Cadillac collection in the upcoming months as well 👍
Hi from the surfer paradise coat of California, from someone who has combined cars and surfing since 1966 until this very day. Now I have a 1990 jeeplike toyota landcruiser, because I go offroad alot to uncrowded surf spots, when I began I choose between a '62 xk-e jaguar, a'49 chevy sedan delivery wagon, a morris minor woodie, and a chevy corvair van. Jags being complicated to maintain, I didn't choose this black hardtop roadster. Had many vans since then, enjoying stylin' them out, as a lifestyle and small business. One day in about 1995 a journey up the west coast from the mexican border to up in vancouver, with surfboards and my wife, was envisioned..... and we did it across a whole year. All in our Velvet Blue Interior exact same '77 fleetwood factory limo, silver in color, the ultimate cruiser camper!!!
Wow no way! Thanks for sharing it's always nice to hear from another Fleetwood owner. Congrats on being able to surf every day that's the life!
Beautiful Car. I have a '78 Limousine myself.
Imported it from Nevada to New Zealand in 2004.
Love to get someone else to drive it, sit in the rear
seat, and just enjoy the experience.
That's the best way to do it for sure. Was it very expensive and arduous to import and get it registered in New Zealand?
@@Throdle It was not too expensive to get NZ approval.
We have to have a left hand drive permit and the actual
compliance to NZ 'standards' is sometimes arduous.
For example, all the brakes had to be replaced. Which
was silly, because they were already new. I had to
purchase parts from a recognised NZ supplier.
So the new parts we fitted, were exactly the same brand
originated from the US, and now the 'approved' local.
That's how dumb our system is.
@@brucejoslen2021 yikes that is not easy at all!
Beautiful. I had a 76 75 series for years. Loved it
I've had few occasions to ride in a limousine, most were to a funeral. This one is gorgeous! I once read a quote (don't remember who said it) claiming that umbrellas and limousines should always be black ;-)
It’s nice to have some color! Limos are great. Thanks for your kind words! 👍
My dad had a 1977 jenfer blue coupe whith a black top blue interr it was my faverite car as a kid to drive around small las vegas that is a very nice limo
Very nice. Great memories, thank you for sharing
Hey man... I love your '77. Only year for those tail lamps!!! I love the '80 to '84 body styles and would be pleased to own one. I personally own a 2000 Deville 6 door 24 hour limo built by Federal Coach. I use it every Sunday to pick up elderly that no longer drive and run a church shuttle service with this car. I'm from Indiana but found the 6 door in Millville, New Jersey. I flew to Philly from South Bend and then an Uber to the limo's location in New Jersey. I bought it and drove it home. It had it's shares of flaws and dings. I sanded the car down and repainted it Texudo Black Metallic, a Ford Motor Company color, taking it from it's original GM black, which was WA8555. I refinished the wide "B" pillar that graces 4 opera lamps, in 8555 to mainstream the solid gloss black look that is on the rest of the door pillars alongside the car, but the rest is Ford's color. I was proud of its outcome. I chose a 6 door specifically for the practical needs of the seniors I provide service to. I enjoy providing the service weekly, no charge of course, as it's for the church. Many people truly have been blessed by its use. I never imagined I'd touch so many lives, but these seniors think it's fantastic. They tell their children families of the service provided and I've attended a few funerals and viewings as some of my guests have passed on. When their families ask of who I am or how I knew their deceased loved one, I tell them I was their driver from church and that we attended church together. It has been at those moments of conversation... I realized how much what I do meant to them and their family. I seriously have been so incredibly blessed to be able to do this service or "ministry" as some refer it as. Who would have thought I would be able to bless lives with a 26 foot 22 year old limousine. It's not worth a ton, no, but it is extremely beautiful. It's definitely a head turner and a service that is enjoyed by myself and my recipients. Blessings dude. Message me at darrengriffith12141980@gmail.com I would love go know you and your limousine. I am a land yacht lover of 1980s automobiles and don't think I didn't notice your bustle back Seville. I want one terribly. I would love to have a 1985 Commemorative Edition in Cotillion White with the two tone leather interior. 😍
We will definitely pass this message on! Thank you for sharing and such a kind thing you do for seniors. We’ve showcased Norman in quite a few videos and he does the same type of volunteer work!
Beautiful Cadillac!!!
It sure is 😍
Loved the Video! I have the Exact same car. I bought it from a doctor 8 years ago & it's bin my daily driver ever since. These cars are rare now. Since I got this one I have never seen another one on the road in person. Every where I go people like the car. It's a whole different world when you are driving one of these cars. Another thing, everybody you know, knows who's car that is because it is so unique.
Wow glad you enjoyed. Very nice you use it as a daily driver, and you’re right it does seem quite rare especially if it’s in good condition. We’d love to have you on our Throdle App to show of your Fleetwood!
We did a few other videos on Norman and he has another 4 Cadillac videos coming up so do check them out.
Thanks for sharing!
That was cool, thank you
Have a great day Norman 😊
Glad you enjoyed! Have a great day as well
I was 16 years old, I had just gotten my driver's license and I was a Cadillac freak so I applied as a for a job as a chauffeur, I told them I was 18 and much to my surprise I got the job. 🤫 I knew nothing about the business or even how to get around Chicago really and I was thrust right into it on my 1st job, The man training me drove into the heart of the city and told me to take him home, climbed into the back and went to sleep.
This was before GPS and I did not know where home was so I took him to the airport,( ORD ) That's not where he meant he meant Glenview which was close by but that's the only place I had seen that many limousines.
After that I caught on pretty quickly and did it for a whole summer. It sure was great driving those old Cadillac limousines....
That’s so awesome man! Thanks for sharing that with us. Old Cadillacs are 🔥
Looks like “someone” need a Very LARGE car to drive!!! It’s a beauty for sure!!!!
I Iove that car I've liked them since i was a kid i always remember the one in the tv show different strokes
Gentleman fits perfect to this american automotive icon, called Emily. Kindly regards from Germany, Hugo.-

Would love to know more about the classic car scene in Germany.
@@Throdle Subsrciption is done :-). We got a great classic car scene, over here in Germany, many people invest their money in those old vehicles. There is a big community with classic american iron, like ol' Fleedwoods, Vettes, Eldorados, Chargers, Roadrunners, Connies, Mustangs, but most classics are from Europe, Facel Vegas, Mercers, BMWs, Jags and pre WW2 cars. Kindly regards to you, Nadine. Keep on doin' what you're doin', I wish you luck for the channel. Hugo :-)
@@hugostahlbaum8714 interesting there is such a big interest in American classic cars! We will need to film over there!
@@Throdle We have a couple of small us car clubs over here, most of the cars are owned by private persons who are not organized in clubs. They have some meetings with the cars, most of them you will find in Bavaria, Hamburg , the Rhine/Main area, Mannheim, Heidelberg and Kaiserslautern. All the places the US Forces have been or still are, many troopers left their cars here when they went back to the states or overseas. In the small town where I live, we got a shop and a dealer with old US cars, mostly muscle cars from the 60s/70s, like cuda, challenger etc...
My dad worked at a funeral home, so I learned to parallel park a 9 passenger Cadillac limousine in their big back parking lot.
Impressive! Must’ve been hard to drive at first
I have the formal 77 French version in km/h (not mph) used for ambassy and airport in France back in the days... I refurbushed mine as stock 77 year ! full option wire wheels GM very rare, E&G grill with flying ladies Lasalle 1930, federal siren US, CB AM/FM, seventiies original cathodic mini TV (working with french channel) with a boomerang antenna, full tinted glass, curtains on the rear, customs wiskey bar (between the two removable seats) that's a crazy yacht ! The formal serie75 is an original Cadillac manufacture I'll keep it for ever I think !
The mid & dark blues are good for limousines, not as somber as black but still elegant and businesslike
Spot on! It’s nice to see a brighter color
Enjoyed this video alot!! 🤗
Thank you! Here’s a video of Norman’s 6 car dream garage with over 9000 car memorabilia in it you might like!

Absolutely Gorgeous REAL Cadillac. !!!!
Yes! The oldie is a goodie 👍
Great car and story, thanks for sharing it.
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
My father had a factory late 80s Cadillac fleetwood limo like this. It was my first car i was drove in lol. We had a late 80s Cadillac Fleetwood stock limo, a 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood brougham delagance sedan which was more trims than the limo unfortunately, 78 Cadillac eldorado and a 1966 Pontiac Pontiac Parisanne convertible and a 65 Pontiac Parisanne coupe as a parts car. I miss these cars so much. I also wanna rebuy this same limo for me and my dad but this time get the brougham edtion at least or brougham delagance if im lucky. With the old school aerial on the stock lol love it. The second last of the big Cadillacs with fins.
Wow great memories for you! Norman has an amazing collection - one car per decade. And we’ve posted a few more of his Cadillacs. Hope you get to check them out and surprise your dad with an amazing one!
Nice to see these unappreciated cars finally getting the coverage they deserve. This limo is stunning. Host too.
Absolutely! Classic cars don’t get enough hype. We have a 1962 Ford Galaxie XL/500 coming up next so do subscribe if you want to be notified when it’s uploaded.
Your words are incredibly kind - thank you! 😊
77 wasn't General Motor's high point of engineering but they do look nice compared to today's plastic junk.
I had a '78 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham with the D'Elegance interior. Loved it. Such a classy, comfortable machine. It wasn't without its flaws, which showed up as it got older (Late 70s Delco electronics....might as well have been made by Lucas of England.) but there wasn't a nicer way to have a comfortable long road trip. I'd love to get another one and modernize certain aspects of it while keeping the original appearance inside and out.
Would be nice if you could find one in decent condition! 👍. Ahhhh you gotta love British makers 😂
I have a 1990 ford Ltd crown victoria and a 1990 Lincoln town car, both are the greatest cars I’ve had since new.
Wow. How many miles on them?
@@Throdle 25,000 on the Ltd crown Vic and 19,051 on the town car
Cadillac in every shape I love
You are lucky to have a great car
💯
Beautiful Cadillac!
Sure is
In the early/mid '80's, I worked for a guy who had 3 limos along with some shuttle vans/cars for airport work. We were based in Orange, Calif so went all over SoCal. His other 2 limos were early '80's stretched Lincoln's. But he also had a Formal Caddy. As a driver, my personal preference regarding ride was for the Lincoln's. But I learned to drive in Cadillac's so I guess you could say, they were my first love! Unfortunately, the Formal did, indeed have a divider behind the front seat, and it was like having a board to lean back against. Very uncomfortable. Whenever I took that car anywhere, you really knew your place as just a driver, vs pampered client! On the other hand, the Caddy never left me stranded on the side of a freezing cold two lane in the dark half way between Victoville and Tahoe!! Lol!
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Always wondered whether that divider was comfortable or not! Sounds like you don’t have one anymore but nice to know the love is still there 🔥
@@Throdle
I worked for wages & tips. I didn't own the cars. I actually became a truck driver later on. As for comfort, that divider really took the fun out of it for me, the hired hand. Maybe not as bad as being in a very much older limousine with an open cab to the elements, and with passengers enclosed, since you were also enclosed. But it certainly reminded you, that you were the hired help! I actually did not know that the factory made any other sort of limo other than the Formal. This was very interesting to learn about. Thank you!
@@1allanbmw appreciate you sharing with us! Great to get everyone’s perspective
I owned a 1971 Fleetwood and loved it.
Ooh lovely Cadillac
Honestly, if I've the choice between this, and any New rolls Royce or Maybach at 500k $ or something, I'll take this absolutely beauty without a doubt. One of my Dream car
❤️❤️❤️
Cadillacs are awesome! The bigger the better
Wow this guy is in Cadillac heaven!
He sure is! :-) If you get a moment take a look at this video which shows off his Car Collection and Cadillac memorabilia - ruclips.net/video/JtPe4oYUaGg/видео.html
It looks amazing! 🤩
It sure does. It’s a great limo 👍
We had a funny story back in the days, used to call our Lincoln sedenatte 1972 a 8 seater just via width alone. Each seat held 4.
😂 tiny people!
@@Throdle it was not a Lincoln, I meant to say Chrysler imperial Lebanon, I just thought the Lincoln was that for a second. This could comfortably sit 4 people, and it had a business coupè seating in the back with two fold down lock chairs. Man, that vehicle felt like being in nothing, each turn was hardly realized.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar sounds like it was a dream to drive
@@Throdle It sure was, we as well had a 1906 Oldsmobile sedan. My father's friend had a 1904 Tonneau and 1902 Pope tribune. We were all hyper traditionalists and restoring stock to the factory original was our game goal.
Great story behind how this car was named. True American story.
Absolutely. What a beautiful tribute
I was once with friends at a fundraiser. After the event, we were standing in front of the venue. A limo pulled up. Some folks from the event got out and invited us to their house for drinks and food. Who could refuse? So, we hopped in. Their house was five minutes away. We had wine and huge, homemaid oatmeal cookies. They had two huge standard poodles who tried to snatch my cookie. Fun times.
Those are the friendliest people ever. What a great story!
Beautiful car.. I love it 🥰
That car is beautiful love it
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed 👍
This is the Fleetwood Seventy-Five Sedan. The Seventy-Five limousine had an operable glass partition between the front and back seats and the front seat was always black leather no matter what the color of the back seat.
They actually dropped the Seventy-Five name for the 1977 model year.
Stunning and such a cool guy.
He sure is!
Outstanding
Thank you! ♥️
1976 Fleetwood 75 Series was the last year it was built at the factory. For 1977 a Sedan was sent to the Coach Builder that GM contracted with to have the vehicle stretched to the specifications as requested. When the series was downsized GM made changes to their manufacturing for the 75 Series. it came back in 1985 to 1987 as a front wheel drive version in formal and sedan models.
Beautiful ❤❤❤
I love Cadillacs you have a beautiful limousine ! I own a 1981 Oldsmobile Delta 88 sedan. I love driving old cars compared to today's New cars . CHEERS
Thanks Andre! Appreciate hearing about your Oldsmobile. The oldies are goodies.
Norm has 6 classic cars, 3 more Cadillacs, an old Ford Galaxie XL/500. Those videos will be coming out soon so if you subscribe you’ll be notified.

Beautiful video!
Thank you! Love your channel we will feature it as part of our Members channel on throdle YT page 👍
Beautiful 1977 Cadillac Fleetwood limousine. All occupants should be wearing seatbelts ! Slainte' ! Cheers !
Thats the final boss in a car game 😎👍
As far as Cadillacs standard sized cars, always liked the smaller 77-79 cars a bit more vs the 71-76 cars. But for the hulking 75 series limousine, give me the bigger 71-76 cars any day of the week.
You know your Cadillacs 🔥
Great car! Thank you for upload this vídeo! Already susbscribed to your Channel! Congrats From Brazil!
Appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it and hope you’ll check out our other videos 👍
Very Nice Man
Appreciate that thanks!
My favorite caddy
Beautiful isn’t it!
Wonderful car
Norman will be happy you said that thank you!!
Would make a nice weekend toy if you can find one. They're rare these days and usually found in barns all beat up and stripped out or all rusted out in the back of funeral homes. Hollywood wrecked a lot of them in movie stunts and some people freaked them all out with crazy paint and nasty ugly custom interior jobs because they didn't realize how rare these cars were. GM only produced around 2000 of these per year and 1984 was the last year for this body style with 1987 being the series finale. The 425 V8 used in this car is a smooth and strong performer that hauls ass oh so gracefully.
Didn’t realise that Hollywood did that what a shame. 🥲
Well wait till you see the other videos of Norman. He’s got a 6 classic cars one from each decade and some beautiful Cadillacs. Keep an eye out for them!
I'm going to look at one right now for 1000 dollars
@@MrBlaze256 wow what kind of condition was it in?
@@Throdle it was in ok shape interior was good paint was a little faded. Guy took too long to show up and I ended up leaving without it
@@MrBlaze256 shame! Maybe another one will pop up
probably better than owning an suv, 8 seats. has a trunk, and an engine that is as efficient as a new suv.
👍💯
Great American car!
Absolutely! 👍
A friend of mine has a 77 Coupe DeVille, showroom new, mileage in the 20s. Black with a red interior.
Showorom new! Wow where did she find it?
@@Throdle He's had it a few years. Picked it up in Tennessee, I think, in response to an ad on either ebay of the Cadillac club newsletter.
Standard of the world
Cool car.
Thx! Yours as well 👍
Had 2 of them . A 1972 and a 1982.
Fantastic! Shame you couldn't have held onto them
I think I’ll get one of those Cadillacs.
Definately good ideas! 👍

I've got a 1978 Cadillac coupe DeVille I inherited from my great uncle he passed away in 1996 and I've got it and I keep it in the garage it's got twenty three thousand miles on it and it's a seamist green with dark green vinyl top and dark green interior
Must be still in amazing condition. Glad to hear you held onto it. There aren’t that many left in good shape 👍
@@Throdle I have always liked Cadillacs I have a 77 Cadillac coupe DeVille and a 1979 Cadillac Fleetwood brougham de elegance and my favorite one is the 79 Cadillac coupe DeVille renaissance it's got the rolls Royce grill and the trunk lid has the rounded design like a Lincoln continental but it doesn't have the spare tire on it it's got the vinyl like in the half vinyl top it has the vinyl on the face of the trunk I'm going to have to redo that car it's in very poor condition to be such a beautiful car it's the first I've seen like that it has like harpoon type of chrome that goes on the front fenders and door and it has them going through the center of the side windows
@@davidmckinney6577 Sounds like a labor of love. You must have an amazing collection. Thank you for sharing with us. You would appreciate Norman's Cadillac collection along with the memorabilia he's collected. He was actually the President of his local Cadillac LaSalle club back in the day. Take a look at this video! ruclips.net/video/JtPe4oYUaGg/видео.html
@@Throdle ok thanks I will check it out buddy 👍 I've been trying to research the 1979 Cadillac coupe DeVille renaissance edition and I can't find any thing out
sooo, where do they seated 8 people in there?
Norman would make people nervy if he stepped out of that car in a black pin striped suit and those shades.
You’re right! Haha. Dropping another video of his later today so keep an eye out

How did you keep this Cadillac so beautiful and like brandnew?
His entire collection he keeps immaculately and has a detailer that comes regularly. Glad you liked it!
Is the 57 Eldo for sale ?. We have a few
I do the maintenance on my Father-in-laws 1977 Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine. It is a dark red, I believe they call it Crimson with the matching Crimson leather interior. I was told that very few were made in this color. My daughters prom in 2019 was on May 4th, Star Wars day. It was Star Wars themed. Since Star Wars came out in 1977, we used this car to for their prom and they were chauffeured by Darth Vader. I was wondering if anyone knows how many limousines were built in 1977.
Minnesota? I’d love to see under
I had a 78 Cadillac Limo.. nice ride.. just got it out of the exhaust shop and about 5 blocks from home and got rear-ended by a drunk and totaled it out.
ARGH!!! that’s terrible and such a tragedy 😢
The 78 and 79 looked nicer as it had the entire real tail fin in chrome. And a nicer grille. But all 3 years were based on the same platform model.
Thanks for sharing
Nice limousine I haven't 2007 72-in black limo that the engine runs like a brand new car but the body and stuff is rusting around it I sure would like to try to find the club that everybody have limos and old long limousine cars is there a club for that
We could create one on the Throdle App? And we will be building a lightweight web based version for those folks who don’t like phone apps. Would you be interested in joining one of those?
In this case even Cadillac is technically wrong, for a car to be called a limousine it has to have a partition between the from seat and the back seat. Up onto 1976, Cadillac used the term limousine, only on the automobile with the partition.
Thanks for clarifying
Its Cadillac Fleetwood 75 series Sedan.with divider its called 75 series limousine.have had a-72 without The divider,hence a Sedan.Now we have a 6-door Eureka Limousine -94 model and low mileage.Sooo comfortable ride.

Wow. Nice to know. Thanks for sharing
I much preferred the factory cars to the after market ones , this one is very nice ; I'm sorry to hear it was hauling attorneys around as they should only be driven in paddy wagons.
