Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is proud to present this extraordinary 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. The Fleetwood is wearing a beautiful triple-black color scheme, and shows very well in person and in photos. Though the mileage reads just over 83k, many would be hard-pressed to find visible flaws on the car. The paint looks deep enough to jump in for a swim, the leather is softer than a baby's skin, and the glass is clear enough to trick you into thinking it isn't even there. Getting past the looks, this Caddy is powered by a very healthy 5.7l LT1 engine and 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission. The engine in this full-size luxury sedan is as powerful as it is smooth. The self-leveling suspension easily flattens any road you drive on, and passing power is on demand with a quick stomp on the throttle. The Fleetwood can make anyone feel like a king, thanks to its spacious cabin and amenities like front and rear vanity mirrors, plush heated leather seating, and smooth riding chassis.
Cadillac was founded in 1902 from the Henry Ford Company by Henry Leland and named the company after Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, founder of Detroit, later to become 'the Automotive capital of the USA'. / Motor city.
