1985 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham de Elegance Coupe

Heather and Greg Crady's 1985 Fleetwood Brougham de Elegance Coupe

We were lucky enough to find an 85 fleetwood brougham coupe d'elegance with only 5100 original miles. It's white and loaded with the astroroof, even. White leather interior and red carpet and dash. It is a remarkable car that just reaks of cadillac style at it's best. My husbands eyes lit up like christmas morning when he found this. Although, I have to admit that I might love the car even more than he does. It was a 1700 mile trip just to get to it and a long ride home in a diesel pickup with a trailer on the back. (He waited at home for his baby, and I don't mean me!)

The car has quite a history behind it with it's previous owner who bought it new from an inheritance he got when his mother died. He is an adorable little italian guy who boxed and acted in New York. We had quite a memorable trip and can tell some fun stories! It has the original tires on it and was only driven to maintain it. I believe that it has just about every available option including the factory CB and astroroof. Everything works and it runs great. The only thing that it doesn't have that my husband pointed out is the driver's memory seat. It even has the theft deterant! And that horn! It might as well be a freight train.

I have to tell you....on our way back from Florida, we were going through St. Louis. At a stoplight directly in front of us was a rusted, well used cadi about the same year as ours. So used that the fillers were almost gone from erosion. He was turning in front of us and as he did, he blew a kiss at our cadillac on the trailer behind us. It was so comical, but you could tell that he loved the car. So many memories! in so little time......

As far as keeping the miles low, we have a 14 year old that just got his learners permit, so we thought that we could just give it to him to drive........psht, just teasin! He's lucky to even breath on the car! My husband stored it in our shop as soon as it arrived on the trailer. So, climate controlled comfort all the way.
