Final Fleetwood

One does not drive a Cadillac Fleetwood; he commands it. Nor does a passenger simply ride in a Fleetwood; he experiences it.

Few cars had the completely restyled 1993-1996 Cadillac Fleetwood’s presence at speed or rest. It was America’s largest new car during that period at 225.1 inches long — a sure-footed 18 feet, 9 inches. By any measure, it was a large car in dimension and personality. The design was heavily inspired by Cadillac’s sleek 1988 sedan and 1989 coupe concepts. Variations of these concepts’ shield grilles, composite headlamps, profile all made it to the production 1993-1996 Fleetwood. For Cadillac customers, that meant a handsomely updated Fleetwood that beautifully blended traditional Cadillac luxury with the sleekness expected by 1990s auto buyers.
