Fleetwood Cadillac Moels & History 1985

FLEETWOOD BROUGHAM – SERIES 6D

Brougham, the last surviving rear-drive Cadillac, changed little for 1985 and faced potential extinction in spite of increased sales. That didn’t happen. The traditional rear-drive lingered on for several more years, even though all other Caddies (including limos) switched to front-drive and shrunken size. Vast inside and out, Broughams continued to attract traditional luxury-car buyers. The Brougham coupe was dropped from the lineup in mid-year. Sedans came with a standard full vinyl roof, while the Brougham coupe included a standard Cabriolet vinyl top with unique rear quarter window. Standard engine was the 4.1 liter V-8; diesel V-8 optional at no charge.
