Huh? Isn't that first one just a '86 with the typical '92 front clip upgrade/update? Or am I missing something...

No, someone put that on there. They never came from the factory like that until 1990.

Aussie often has strange front ends and very often different headlights.

I don't remember, was the VIN there? If so, the dealer can tell you what the stock headlights were.

That's just an old Brougham that someone put all the new parts on.

Interesting.. but I agree that is is another conversion to the newer grill/lights.

I think the person who put the ad in has the year wrong. Take a look at the dash in that car. Notice the center vents? They are vertical like the 90-92 cars. That coupled with the extra "wood" on the door panels between the coffin pulls and the armrest like the 90-92's makes me wonder if someone just goofed on the ad. It happens.

I can't link directly because it is verbotten here but check out Austrailian Cadillac sites using a search engine. They have regulations on cars under 20 years old as to right hand drive. There were speciality conversion companies....some good, some not. Also other goofy regulations like no headrests! There are a lot of folks in Oz who have their stuff together with Cadillac. The currency exchange rates have made it a little difficult over the last 3 or 4 years......

Is the grill right for a 91-92?

That car has a 1980 front grille but 1985 Fleetwood parking lamps. I did the same thing with my '80 FW 2 door. I don't like the Amber lenses.
