Fleetwood Cadillac Moels & History 1982
Two Fleetwoods were available this year: The Fleetwood Brougham as a 2-door coupe and a 4-door sedan; and a Fleetwood Limousine as a 4-door sedan, 4-door formal limousine, and a commercial chassis.
FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM
Priced nearly $3000 higher, Brougham coupes and sedans looked similar to their DeVille brothers from the front, with the same new three-row grille made up of narrow vertical bars. Standard equipment included
- a stand-up wreath and crest hood ornament
- Twilight Sentinel
- illuminated entry system
- controlled-cycle wipers
- tilt/telescope steering wheel
- six-way power seat for driver and passenger
Dual Comfort 55/45 front seats held three people and were trimmed in exclusive Fleetwood design, using Heather knit with Raphael cloth inserts. Eight colors of leather were also available. The coupe carried a distinctive Elk Grain vinyl Cabriolet roof with large quarter windows and electro-luminescent opera lamps. A chrome crossover molding highlighted its forward edge.
Sedans had a small (limousine-style) back window and full Elk Grain vinyl roof, with Cadillac’s wreath-and-crest insignia on the rear roof (sail) panels. A Brougham nameplate stood at the back of rear fenders. Color-keyed vaned wheel covers were new. Optional: authentic wire wheels. Brougham d’Elegance offered tufted upholstery in cloth or leather, with 50/50 Dual Comfort seats, special trim and identifying scripts, and special wheel covers to match the body color.
