Cadillac DeVille 4th Gen

1971 – 1976 — USA

The Cadillac Fleetwood is a full-size luxury sedan that was produced by Cadillac from 1976 to 1996. Initially named after a coachbuilder linked to General Motors, the Fleetwood became its own distinct model line in 1985. The first generation of the Fleetwood saw the transition to a front-wheel drive platform within Cadillac's lineup. It occupied a position between the Sedan deVille and the Sixty Special models and bridged the gap between the deVille and the rear-wheel drive Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, which was later renamed the Cadillac Brougham between 1987 and 1992. The second generation of the Fleetwood shifted to the D-body platform, effectively replacing the Fleetwood Brougham. Key Points: 1.
