Used 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood

Final year for the longest production car sold in the U.S. Updates are limited to a new audio system, revised center storage armrest and prewiring for Cadillac's Dual Mode cellular phone. Understand one thing about this car. It is huge; the longest production car sold today. It is not easy to maneuver. But boy, does it go fast in a straight line. A Corvette LT1 motor lurks under the acreage that is the Fleetwood's hood, and gets this 4500-pound behemoth to 60 mph quicker than top competitors. Big antilock brakes haul the freight back down quickly, as well. Inside is enough room to carry six very comfortable passengers, and the trunk swallows more stuff than many minivans will. Dual airbags, ABS and traction control all come standard on the Fleetwood. New this year is a revised center armrest with lots of storage and dual cupholders, pre-wiring for Cadillac's Dual Mode (analog and digital) cellular phone, and a new audio system. One interesting carryover feature is the chime that reminds drivers to turn off their turn signal if they've traveled more than half a mile with it blinking. The Fleetwood represents the last of the monster Cadillacs. At the end of the 1996 model year, it goes out of production so that General Motors can convert its Arlington, Texas assembly plant to build highly profitable trucks. Time is running out on this traditional rear-wheel drive luxo-barge. Grab a piece of history while you can.
