Title: 1998 Fleetwood limited
Post by: boothandco on August 02, 2017, 10:51:31 PM
What does anyone know about these cars.  I hear there were only 781 built between 1998 and 1999.  It is intriguing.  Does anyone else have one.

These were conversions by Accuibuilt providing more rear leg room and trunk space than the standard DeVille on which they were based.  781 were made for 1998 and 1999 and sold through select Cadillac dealerships.  Starting prices were over $50K (over $75K adjusted for inflation) but they were often fairly well discounted.

The Nov./Dec. 2015 Self-Starter had an article about them and their unique features.  A modern take on the '66 Brougham.  But no footrests or rear power vents.

Rear footrests were an option on the Fleetwood Limited.

I did not know that.  I guess the pics I've seen have been "strippers" relatively speaking.
