Here is my 1986 Fleetwood Brougham D'Elegance I've had it nearly 2 yrs now, roughly 145000 miles, southern California car it's whole life.
I bought this car on a whim, mainly because I loved the D'Elegance interior in cloth, and don't see them around much in decent shape like this one. The car belonged to an elderly friend of my family. It sat for a few years before I bought it. It was the husband's pride and joy, and after he passed, the wife couldn't bear to sell it for fear it wouldn't be cared for. I adopted it ( I call it Mrs. Silver) and although I've had it for sale for a few months I can't stand to part with it for the same reason. I have turned down a few folks wanting to buy her to "customize" .. and I use the term loosely. Actually what they intended was more like "bastardize" IMHO..
By the way, since the time these photos were taken, I have acquired new factory front floor mats with the correct Cadillac logo, and I've polished the front turning lights back to their original brilliance from the cloudy state shown here. In the coming months I will have the vinyl top replaced in the same color, and the pin stripe re-done in red. I am also constantly on the lookout for a set of the factory wire wheels , but refuse to pay 500.00 for them..
