For 75 years, the world's population has been admiringly looking at the appearance, formation and development of a car like the Cadillac Fleetwood. When a farewell speech was made in 1996 in honor of the end of the release of this amazing model, a huge number of fans of this luxurious device were literally on the verge of a heart attack.
The year 1921 was marked by the triumph of the birth of this elegant car. The third decade of the 20th century was filled with bright colors for car enthusiasts: after all, it was then that the most dandyish Cadillac Fleetwood models were released. Until now, in order to become the owner of such a chic unit, fanatical car enthusiasts are ready to sacrifice a lot.
In 1954, the Cadillac Fleetwood was released, which became the first favorite car of the king of rock and roll Elvis Presley. It was then that this four-wheel symbol of luxury and prosperity became the personification of the musical Olympus. In addition to a chic appearance, this car demonstrated the power and strength of its eight-cylinder “heart”. Under the pink, long bonnet of this proud device was the thundering power of a 5.4-liter V8 engine powered by 160 wayward steel mustangs. This car served faithfully to Elvis and his team, however, not very long: during the tour Cadillac Fleetwood caught fire right on the road.
However, the love for this car was stronger than the bitterness of its loss, so after a while the king of rock and roll acquires four modifications of this amazing device. The crown of his collection was the 1954 model of a pleasant pink color that he gave to his mother. By the way, it was this act that prompted a huge number of mothers to dream of such a gift, and their sons - to strive to make this dream a reality. This desire was reflected in one of the best films "Knocking on Heaven."
This Cadillac model was very popular until the 60s, when it was pushed a little by the newly made Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham on the pedestal. This modification was available in two versions: a four-door sedan and a two-door coupe. This luxury car was replaced by another model of the company - Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine, which debuted in 1976. It is worth noting that the company was trying more and more to provide its brand fans with the opportunity to own a luxury car at a reasonable price.
In the early and mid 90s, engineers at General Motors spent a lot of time thinking about the release of a more modified and obstinate apparatus. The result of their aspirations was the installation of a Corvette engine under the hood of the Cadillac Fleetwood. This motor endowed the car with unprecedented power. The end of the era of the reign of this model was marked by clearer options for driving, stabilizing traction control in corners, folding exterior mirrors, as well as modified spark plugs that gained platinum tips.
2013 also boasts a huge number of chic and luxury cars. One of these steel swallows is New Cadillac: changing its shape and improving its content, the General Motors concern, like many years ago, caused a real storm of emotions among fans of this brand.
