Cadillac Fleetwood History 1995

Cadillac Fleetwood Models & History 1995

  • The GenII 5.7-liter V-8 that powered the Fleetwood sedan and its upscale optional Brougham package model was upgraded for 1995.
  • In addition to the aforementioned PG260 starter that all Cadillacs received, the rear-drive Fleetwood’s V-8 now also featured Quiet Cam.
  • This revised camshaft design, in conjunction with new sound and vibration reducing composite rocker arm covers, decreased engine mechanical noise and eliminated valve noise on the outside of the car.
  • Again, the 4L60-E electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission saw service with the GenII V-8.
  • For 1995, the 4L60-E featured a 298mm torque converter clutch assembly that had a higher torque capacity, which enhanced the unit’s durability.
  • Formerly optional equipment that was made standard included remote keyless entry, central door unlocking and automatic door locks and electrochromic inside rearview mirror with new map lights.
  • Other new standard features included ASR5 traction control; larger, foldaway, patch-mounted outside rearview mirrors; quiet door latch system; ignition key anti-lockout feature; revised instrument panel top pad; “SIR Airbag” embossed label for passenger side; and two new exterior color choices: Fawn Gray and Calypso Green.
  • The Brougham sedan added a programmable garage door opener and an upgraded electronic lumbar system for seat adjustments.
  • Also on the Brougham, the optional V4R security package was restructured to include the theft deterrent system and auto lock/unlock fuel filler door.
  • For 1995, Fleetwood also received increased capacity of the Electronic Control Unit that provided more convenient traction control on/off capability.
  • A toggle switch in the glovebox allowed the traction control to be switched off and on without restarting the engine.
  • As in previous years, the Fleetwood could also be ordered as the V4U Coachbuilder Limousine Package, B9Q Funeral Coach Package, or RIP Heavy-Duty Sedan Package with heavy-duty components required for continuous commercial service,
