1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special Brougham

[Larry]

This car has a 500 engine but nowhere does it state the C.C.  Can you help please?

I think this was commonly known as the 8.0 litre engine. Exact is 8.193532. Put your decimal point where you wish to get the cc. (Conversion is 500 x 16.387064.) Hope this helps.

Its a 8.2 and the 472 is a 7.7.  The quick and easy way is CI / 61 = CL or CL x 61 = CI.  Hope that makes sense and is easy as you just have to remember the number 61.

  I just have to ask...why would you want to know that?

  I think it was 1977 when they starting using the metric system, which resulted in a car that had some metric and some standard bolts.  My 78 Deville was that way, and that was one of the things that influenced my decision to part it out.

Hello Denise,


Greetings from Liverpool, England - home City of The BEATLES (Im sure you may have heard of them !!!)

For 40 years I have just loved American cars especially Cadillac. I have only recently imported my latest car direct from Los Angeles and the UK Department of Motor Vehicles requires the CC details for registration.

I am delighted with my new aquisition which is a little different from the 76 standard Cadillacs. All Black and lots of chrome, it is a real prize, and Im sure would turn heads even on the streets of good old U.S. Sold and first registered by the Hillcrest Motor Company of Beverly Hills I would of course love to trace its ownership history.

Kind Regards


Larry (From the mother country)

The 1970 Eldorado had an 8.2 litre badge on the grill...so started the trend away from C.I.D. on Cadillacs...

hi  Larry,
       I have a 78 Hillcrest limo and am also
  experiencing problems in trying to trace any
 information  on  owners, or even  Hillcrest themselves.
       imported  it  into  New Zealand  in  2004.
                 cheers,  Bruce.
