Cadillac Fleetwood.

The big old Cadillac Fleetwood is long gone. And yet, why not imagine a new one?

It would be the largest Cadillac sedan available besides the Celestiq, but for less. It would probably have to be priced at under $100, 000 to be competitive against the Mercedes EQS or the ghastly BMW i7. And not trying to be a Rolls or Bentley like the Celestiq.

The Fleetwood was one of the most luxurious cars the Cadillac ever made over the last decades. The “Fleetwood” name was usually added to a more mainstream sedan like the DeVille.

In 1993, the Fleetwood became a specific model, based on the Cadillac Brougham platform. Which dated from the late 1970s Deville. The 1993 Fleetwood was quite a modern design when it came out. It almost looked like a weird production version of a Syd Mead design from some angles. And the master illustrator himself drove one for years.

The Fleetwood courageously held on until 1996, with sales shrinking every year. By that time, a giant RWD sedan from Cadillac wasn’t what people wanted anymore. The CT6 and XTS were on their way. And especially, the truck-based Escalade. Which somehow ended up ruling the whole Cadillac brand and became their best seller, year after year…

However, we keep hearing Cadillac is working on two all-new sedan models based on the Ultium platform. So why not dream of a longer, more luxurious version of the largest one?
