I purchased my 1993 Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance in March 2001 from its original owner, Mr. William Chaffee.  It had 40,268 miles on it and was in excellent original condition.  Always garaged and used primarily for church and Sunday drives - it even had a new car smell!

While Mr. Chaffee took wonderful care of the car, he decided that he did not want to put any money into new tires, brakes and hoses.  He wanted a new Deville - which he got, and I got the Brougham!  The car is painted dark metallic blue (Cadillac called it Black Sapphire) and has the Brougham d'Elegance package along with every available option except the "astroroof."  Unfortunately, Mr. Chaffee could not locate any of the original paperwork, but in checking data I had purchased in Denver at the CLC Grand National, I estimate the car retailed at approximately $40,000.

Needless to say, it is a magnificent motorcar - truly a "Cadillac."  By the way, her name is "Marlene", named for the glamorous movie star Marlene Dietrich, who appeared in a 1930's movie called "The Blue Angel."

The 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood was considered the first new body design in 17 years.  In addition, it was the longest production car at 225.1 inches.  It added some weight, too, approximately 140 pounds, over previous Fleetwoods.  Produced for only four years, these cars have quickly become collector's items amongst Cadillac enthusiasts.
