Cadillac DeVille 6th Gen

1985 – 1993 — USA

The Cadillac Fleetwood, a full-size luxury sedan marketed by Cadillac, was produced from 1976 to 1996. Initially derived from the coachbuilder of the same name, it became a standalone model in 1985. The first generation transitioned Cadillac's C-body platform to front-wheel drive, positioning the Fleetwood between the Sedan deVille and the Sixty Special, bridging the gap between the deVille and the rear-wheel drive Fleetwood Brougham which was later renamed the Cadillac Brougham from 1987 to 1992. The second generation of the Fleetwood shifted to the D-body platform, supplanting the Brougham model. Throughout its production, the Cadillac Fleetwood represented elegance, luxury, and comfort in the full-size sedan segment. Its association with the Fleetwood coachbuilder and subsequently as a standalone model enhanced its prestige within the Cadillac lineup. Key Points: 1.
