As you may have noticed, after many requests, I've seperated out the Fleetwood section from the DeVille section - and just finished seperating the FWD and RWD Fleetwood discussions..
Now I've got a question for you.. Should "Brougham" be a seperate section as well? Because some of these discussion I've got in the Fleetwood RWD section are actually "Broughams" and not exactly Fleetwoods.
What do you think?
Thanks in advance...

I don't think it needs to be separate - it's only an appearance/option package, isn't it?

Not sure. As far as I know, there was no Fleetwood RWD in, say, 1989.. But there WAS a "Brougham"...

"Should "Brougham" be a seperate section as well?" The quickest answer is NO. For both those.
Around say 1986 the RWD car was the Fleetwood Brougham because the FWD was the Fleetwood. I guess they dropped Fleetwood to make it simpler. For say the 1988 to 1992 cars it was just Brougham and then Brougham D'Elegance was the other one. Think about your 1993-1996 Fleetwoods as Broughams and Fleetwood Brougham as Brougham D'Elegance.
But.....there never was a FWD Fleetwood Brougham !
There was a FWD Fleetwood. FWD Fleetwood 60 Special and a FWD Sixty Special, but to the best of my knowledge, never was a FWD Fleetwood BROUGHAM.

That's why I keep saying just do the FWD/RWD thing. Cadillac played with the names so much for a while that it got VERY confusing for the rest of the world.
