Here is my 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham in triple black. I've had it for about 10 months and it has around 67500 original miles. It's fully loaded with every option including moonroof and factory CD player (still not standard in 1996). It also has the gold emblem package. which really contrasts with the rest of the car. I got it from a dealership in the Chicago area after looking for this specific color combination and year for quite a while. This car is undoubtedly the best I've ever owned. The Chevrolet-sourced LT1 requires so little effort to accelerate that the pedal feel seems at odds with the vague handling and cushy, soft ride. It absolutely floats over broken NYC streets and irons out almost every imperfection in the road. It comes off even better on the highway, where you absolutely cannot feel the road. The steering sort of firms up at higher speeds but it's still really, really light. The interior has enough room for six regular-sized Americans, something I enjoy even though I rarely have more than one person in the car at a time. I'm sure this would please Al Gore. Sometimes people find it amusing that I'm 24 and drive an "old man" car, until they ride in it. Then they usually fall asleep on the soft Brougham seats (which still smell new by the way). It's a shame that GM doesn't build anything remotely close to this anymore and probably never will again. Someone needs to send them the memo that there is still a market for a full-size, rear-wheel drive ...
