An almost perfect Cadillac Fleetwood in brown with a bit of black, seen in the great city of Shanghai by reader Chiprdan, thank you for the pictures! New tires do the old Caddy a surprisingly lotta sporty good. Not quite race car, but fast for a Caddy. Complicated-to-make-and-to-clean alloys are period, and they need a good clean-up to shine again.
Wadda beauty! The 8th generation Cadillac Fleetwood was made from 1993 until 1996 and was powered by a 260hp 5.7 liter V8. An icon of the 1990’s indeed, showing a brilliant car doesn’t need too much power to shine; the Fleetwood was all about ‘class’ which it had by the boatloads. Come with that today with those childish 500+ horsepower Cadillacs, which are ugly to the max and have no idea what the are, trying to look and be like a BMW, therewith forgetting the brand’s heritage completely…
We have seen more than a many old Caddy’s and related automobiles around. Here is our collection: Buick Roadmaster Limited, Fleetwood Brougham in black, wedding car, blue, Buick Roadmaster, super stretched, Fleetwood Brougham and another black Fleetwood.
Not as beautiful as the Alfa Romeo 166 on its right!
how did he miss that? it wasn’t imported in china as far as i know and even the italian consul in shanghai had only an Alfa 147…
Fingers crossed the 166 will be a future story!

Sorry gentlemen, I am afraid reader Chiprdan didn’t take any photos of the good Alfa. To make it up, a bit:
