1985 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d’Elegance Coupe

The Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham was a luxury car manufactured by Cadillac from 1977 through 1986. In 1987, the Fleetwood Brougham name was shortened to simply Brougham, with production continuing through 1992 with only minor updates.

Cadillac used the “Fleetwood” name as a prefix between 1934 and 1976 on several of its most expensive models, always designating an elevated level of luxury. Between 1958 and 1961, Cadillac used the “Brougham” sub-designation for its exclusive four-door Eldorado models.

Anyone remember the 1980–85 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham coupe? You could be forgiven if it doesn’t ring a bell. For almost all of its history, the Fleetwood Brougham was a four-door sedan—a body style that is amazingly disappearing in 2021. But starting in mid-1980, for the first time ever, a Fleetwood Brougham two-door was added to the Cadillac lineup.

Beauty and luxury abound in this two-door classic. This luxurious beautifully proportioned coupe was built in the finest Fleetwood tradition. The Fleetwood Brougham coupe was a spacious six passenger Flagship. Its distinctive styling and renowned Cadillac luxury was for those who wouldn’t settle for anything less than the very finest. The 1985 Fleetwood Brougham Coupe d’Elegance was the epitome of Fleetwood opulence and prestige. Best of all….it’s a Cadillac.
