The '''Cadillac Fleetwood''' was a full-size [[luxury vehicle]] manufactured by [[Cadillac]] in [[United States|America]] from 1947 to 1996. The name Fleetwood was first used with the Series 60 Special Fleetwood nameplate.<ref name = "Fleetwood Information"/> The car was designated as the [[Flagship car|flagship]] model when it was first introduced and continued in that position for a number of decades. Over its lifespan it always had an [[automatic transmission]] as standard and an option of several [[V8]] and [[V6]] engine versions were offered over the generations. It also came in a range different [[Car body style|bodystyles]] including a [[coupé]], [[convertible]], [[Sedan (automobile)|sedan]] and a [[limousine]] was first offered in 1977 as an option.<ref name = "Fleetwood Information">{{cite web | url = http://www.cadillacforums.com/cadillac-models/cadillac-fleetwood.html | title = Cadillac Fleetwood Information | publisher = Cadillac Owners & Enthusiasts Online| accessdate = 2010-10-23}}</ref>

For 1965, the [[Cadillac Eldorado|Eldorado]] and [[Cadillac Sixty Special|Sixty Special]] officially became part of the Fleetwood line along with the [[Cadillac Series 75|Seventy-Five]]. A new [[Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham|Fleetwood Brougham]] line was also added as an upscale Sixty Special.  The Brougham featured footrests, writing tables (through 1967), special rear reading lamps, and a vinyl roof to distinguish it from the standard Sixty Special.  A glass partition was also available to separate the front and rear passengers.

The third generation was the largest generation of Cadillac motor vehicles. The wheelbase was increased for the Deville and Fleetwood with a wheelbase stretching to {{convert|130|in|mm}}.<ref name = "Specifications">{{cite web | url = http://www.libertysoftware.be/cml/mycars/1976/mycadillac/my76cad.htm | title = 1976 Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance | work = Liberty software| accessdate = 2010-10-21}}</ref> There was a choice of two different engines the first being {{convert|472|cuin|L|1|abbr=on}} and the second being {{convert|500|cuin|L|1|abbr=on}} respectively. Performance from these engines did decrease with EPA restrictions on tailpipe emissions and grams per mile emissions requirements, forcing gear ratios to taller and taller ratios, dropping to as low as 2.41:1.

A new common frame/suspension design was introduced in the third generation Fleetwood which was also used in other GM full size car lines shared by the Chevrolet Caprice/Impala/Bel Air, Buick LeSabre/Electra, Oldsmobile 88/98, Pontiac Catalina/Bonneville/Parisienne, and the Cadillac Sedan Deville/Coupe Deville. While the other GM divisions used a front-steer setup (steering linkage in front of the engine crossmember), all Cadillac RWDs retained the 1961-vintage front suspension (rear steering linkage, eccentric cams in the steering knuckle in lieu of shims, strut rods attached to the framerails for caster adjustment). Rear suspensions were now driven by the Pontiac designed 8 7/8" (8.875") ring gear 10 bolt salisbury live axle.

A new trailer towing package was added for the 1971-1976 model run allowing larger trailer loads to be pulled. Coupled with heavy duty cooling, 3.23 gearing, high output 80 amp large frame alternator and heavy-duty THM400 transmission, the long wheelbase was ideal to pull trailers weighing up to {{convert|7000|lb|abbr=on}}.

From 1974 through 1976, a "Fleetwood Talisman" option was available. This option, which cost over $2500, featured an interior of overstuffed crushed velour seating for four passengers with writing tables located in lockable consoles between the front and rear seats. In 1975, the rear console/writing table was deleted to make room for a fifth passenger. Although the footrests were also included, as on the standard Fleetwood Brougham.

For 1977, Fleetwoods were reduced in size along with all other GM full-size cars.  The Fleetwood Brougham sedan had a 121.5&nbsp;in (3086&nbsp;mm) [[GM C platform|C-body]] platform. Also new was Cadillac's 425&nbsp;in³ ''[[Cadillac V8 engine#425|L33]]'' [[V8]], with an optional [[Oldsmobile]] [[Diesel engine|diesel]] 350 V-8 arriving for 1979. The Fleetwood 75 Limousine used the long-wheelbase {{convert|144.5|in|mm|abbr=on}} [[GM D platform|D-body]] chassis.  The 1977-1979 Limousine was only available with the carbureted 425, the 1980-1984 only with a 368.  The RWD Fleetwood 75 Limousine ended production in 1984.

For 1980, Fleetwood models retained the wheelbase and [[rear wheel drive]] chassis introduced for the 1977 models, but had restyled sheetmetal.  A two-door Fleetwood Brougham, introduced in 1980, was based upon the Coupe de Ville but featured an exclusive formal landau vinyl roof. The RWD two-door was discontinued after the 1985 model year.

For 1985, all Fleetwood models (except the [[Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham|Fleetwood Brougham]]) moved to the [[front wheel drive]] [[GM C platform|C-body]]. The standard Fleetwood shared the same 110.8&nbsp;in (2814&nbsp;mm) wheelbase as the other C-body cars, the [[Cadillac DeVille]], [[Buick Electra]], and [[Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight]], while the Limousine "Fleetwood 75" stretched it to 134.4&nbsp;in (3414&nbsp;mm). The Fleetwood Brougham remained on the RWD platform, (which was redesignated as "D-body" for 1985) through 1986.

The rear wheel drive Fleetwood Brougham became simply the [[Cadillac Brougham]] for 1987, leaving all Fleetwoods on the new [[Front wheel drive|FWD]] platform. There was little more than trim differenced between the Fleetwood D'Elegance and [[Cadillac Deville|Deville]]. The 1987 and 1988 Fleetwood Sixty Special used a stretched 115.8&nbsp;in (2941&nbsp;mm) version of the C-body, while the Limousine "Fleetwood 75" (discontinued after 1987) remained at 134.4&nbsp;in (3414&nbsp;mm) between the wheels.

The aluminum 4.1&nbsp;L ''[[Cadillac V8 engine#HT-4100|HT-4100]]'' [[V8]] was replaced by the 4.5&nbsp;L ''[[Cadillac V8 engine#4.5|HT-4500]]'' for 1988. The engine was upped to 4.9&nbsp;L for 1991's ''[[Cadillac V8 engine#L26 4.9|HT-4900]]''.

For 1989, the Fleetwood line was aligned more-closely with the Deville, essentially becoming trim variations on the same vehicle. The [[coupe]] versions of both shared the old 110.8&nbsp;in (2814&nbsp;mm) wheelbase, while the [[sedan (car)|sedan]]s (including the "Sixty Special") were unified at 113.8&nbsp;in (2891&nbsp;mm). Exterior dimensions were also identical between the model lines, with a length of 202.3&nbsp;in (5138&nbsp;mm) and 205.3&nbsp;in (5215&nbsp;mm) for the coupe and sedan, respectively.

The [[USD|US$]]30,000 sticker price was a bargain compared to the large [[Germany|German]] luxury cars of the time, but ''[[Car and Driver]]'' felt that there was no comparison. They felt that the ride was "harsh", surprising when combined with a "feeble" .67&nbsp;g of cornering grip. And the 155&nbsp;hp (116&nbsp;kW) V8 could only manage 10.9&nbsp;s to 60&nbsp;mph (96&nbsp;km/h) for the 3615&nbsp;lb (1640&nbsp;kg) car.

Power jumped to 180&nbsp;hp (134&nbsp;kW) from the same 4.5&nbsp;L engine for 1990 through the use of a [[variable length intake manifold|dual-stage intake manifold]] and other changes. It was replaced by the 200&nbsp;hp (149&nbsp;kW) 4.9&nbsp;L ''[[Cadillac V8 engine#L26 4.9|HT-4900]]'' for 1991.

The Fleetwood departed the front-drive line-up for 1993 (as the Fleetwood name went on the new rear-drive replacement for the 1992 Brougham). Sixty Special continued in its front-wheel drive form, as it had since it was re-introduced in 1987, but this would be the last year. To visually differentiate the 1989–1993 De Ville from the upper-rung Fleetwood and Sixty-Special models, the front-drive Fleetwoods and Sixty Specials use fender-mounted "spats" or skirts over the rear wheels, while De Ville had full rear-wheel openings. For its final-year, there were 5,292 Sixty Specials built in 1993, including 688 with the optional "Ultra" Package that featured 22-way adjustable front seats, designed in Italy by Giorgio Guigiaro. This distinctive seating package had been standard on the Sixty Special since 1989, but in 1993, it became a $3,550.00 option. While it was based upon the deVille, the Sixty Special included eleven items as standard equipment, while those eleven items were optional at extra cost on deVilles, and in addition there were options for the Sixty Special, that were ''not'' available on the deVille, such as "Memory Seat" for driver with 2 recall settings, an "Exit" button" when pushed automatically powered the driver seat all the way rearward, and dual front seat power recliners. On the exterior the rear wheels were partially covered with the fender skirts, giving the car a longer and more "formal" look than the deVille.

Both the Fleetwood and Deville were coded as C-bodies in the fourth digit of the [[VIN]]. The fifth digit coded the Deville as "D" (with the later Touring Sedan becoming "T"), the Fleetwood as "B", and the Fleetwood Sixty Special as "S". The Sixty Special became the "G" code for 1991, and switched back to "B" for its 1993 run.

For 1993, the Fleetwood name was switched from the Deville's [[front wheel drive]] C-body to the newly revised [[rear wheel drive]] [[GM D platform|D-body]], being one of the first American front-wheel drive vehicles to be returned to rear-wheel drive. This new body was based on that of the [[Chevrolet Caprice]] and [[Buick Roadmaster]]. In the case of the Fleetwood, though, the chassis was stretched five inches (127 mm)  for a {{Convert|121.5|in|mm|sing=on}} wheelbase. At {{Convert|225|in|mm}} overall, the Fleetwood was the longest production car made in the [[United States]] until production ceased in 1996.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/1993-to-1996-cadillac-fleetwood-6.htm |title=http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/ 1993-1996 Cadillac Fleetwood: Full Review |publisher=Consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com |date=2006-10-04 |accessdate=2011-06-24}}</ref> All Fleetwoods had standard antilock brakes, traction control and dual front airbags.

The [[Regular Production Option|RPO]] V4P package included heavy duty cooling (RPO V08, which consisted of a 7 blade mechanical fan and an extra capacity radiator), RPO FE2 Suspension System Ride Handling, HD 4L60 transmission, RPO KC4 Cooling System Engine Oil, RPO KD1 Cooling System Transmission Oil, RPO KG9 140 amp alternator, and RPO GT4 3.73 gears with an 8.5" ring gear. In 1994-1996, the V4P package was revised with RPO GU6 3.42 gears with the new more powerful RPO LT1 {{convert|260|hp|kW}} V8, and HD 4L60E transmission with unique accumulators to shift smoother with the shorter rear axle gearing.
