Cadillac Fleetwood Moels & History 1986
FLEETWOOD – SERIES 6C |
---|
Rather than a distinctly separate model, Fleetwood was actually an option package this year. A fine-grain formal cabriolet roof highlighted the closed-in rear window. The package consisted of reclining comfort seats with six-way power passenger adjustment, power trunk lid release, color-keyed power remote mirrors, a digital instrument panel, rear reading lamp, and accent striping on bodyside and decklid. Other styling extras: opera lamps, wire wheel covers, and Fleetwood identification. A Fleetwood d’Elegance option added walnut wood Instrument panel and door trim plates along with deluxe carpeted floor mats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, and d’Elegance identification.
FLEETWOOD SEVENTY-FIVE LIMOUSINE – SERIES 6C |
---|
Traditionalists may have scoffed, but the modern front-drive, unibody Fleetwood limousine still carried eight passengers in the style that appealed to “Seventy-Five” buyers a generation earlier. Under the hood was a transverse-mounted HT 4100 (4.1 liter) V-8 with digital fuel injection; at the chassis, independent four-wheel suspension. Interior trim was revised for ’86, electronic instruments became standard, and passengers could take advantage of an optional cellular phone with overhead mike to keep busy hands free. Cherry grain replaced the former walnut woodgrain on instrument panel and door trim plates. Automatic door locking prevented the doors from opening with the limo in gear. Oddly, the stretched limos were created from coupes rather than sedans, with extra doors added in the process of stretching the wheelbase from the normal 110.8 inches to 134.4. Limos came in six body colors plus one Firemist shade and black cherry Pearlmist.
FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM – SERIES 6D |
---|
Cadillac’s traditional rear-drive sedan was now powered by Oldsmobile’s 5.0 liter V-8 engine and four-speed overdrive automatic. Standard features included a limo-like closed-in back window and standard full-length vinyl roof, plus a long list of Cadillac equipment — all for a price that began at $21,265. The Brougham coupe was dropped soon before the model year began, and the sedan didn’t appear until February 1986. So ’85 models remained on sale through the end of the year.
At 121.5 inches, Brougham’s wheelbase was the longest of any production automobile other than the stretched (but limited-production) front-drive Fleetwood. Broughams came in a dozen standard colors plus five optional Firemist hues. Bright moldings ran from front fender tips, below the window line and back around the rear quarters. Broughams also carried large full-length rocker moldings and electro-luminescent opera lamps. Standard equipment included
- an illuminated entry system
- electronic climate control with outside-temperature display
- power windows and door locks
- AM/FM stereo seek/scan radio with power antenna
- full padded roof
- whitewall all-season tires.
Luxury-minded buyers could again step up to a Brougham d’Elegance. That package consisted of
- 50/50 Dual Comfort seats (six-way power passenger seat) upholstered in tufted multi-button cloth or optional leather
- a leather-trimmed steering wheel
- power trunk release
- rear reading lights
- controlled-cycle wipers
- Tampico carpeting
- deluxe floor mats
- three overhead assist handles
- turbine-vaned wheel covers.
