Parked on the side of a driveway is this sad 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. Not sure how long it's been sitting there, but by the look of the flat front tire, it's been there for a while. This Fleetwood wears the highly desirable dealer-installed continental kit and the convertible-look full vinyl top. With its 5.7L V8 and 4-speed transmission the sales brochure boasts a highway range of 575 miles from its 23-gallon gas tank. In front of the Cadillac there is a 1982-7 Buick Regal that's missing some parts.

Lol, I think that those two options were only desired by the dealer to pad his bottom line.

Love this Cadillac. Looks like the '96 Fleetwood, except for the connie kit, that Jerry Seinfeld gifted his dad on the TV series. Appearance wise, this car can come back to life with a good detailing.
I had a new '95 Sedan DeVille in that same color...it rode like a Cadillac.

Pete, love this series.

I probably favor continental kits on some cars more than most here but never on a four door. I agree the car looks like it would clean up well. Thanks Pete.
