- Starting the Cadillac Fleetwood for the first time in several weeks in the lovely Australian autumn/fall weather. Perhaps not technically a "cold start" as the car buffs would put it, but close enough I suppose. This is an extremely rare vehicle in Australia, one of perhaps only a handful, and was imported to Brisbane from Los Angeles in 2008. Previously one-owner in excellent original condition.
Man! That's a beauty right there! Nice '76 Fleetwood man. I love these Cadillacs too.
Very cool guy and car both are wonderfully matched
I just love that baritone roar!
you are so lucky that's a beautiful Fleetwood...
wow love the way the engine sounds to bad cars are not made that way anymore. thanks for the video i enjoyed it a lot!
I've had many of these old caddies!
Great car! Its a lot like my 74 fleetwood. Got to love the big old V8s!
love your car!
1976, the last year for these big Cadillacs.
Nice man!!! From US
very nice i see you have other cadillac vehicles in your driveway
I love the sound of that starter beautiful and yep dude that engine is running good because my grandpa has 2 Cadillac's this 76 u have but blue and a 79 brougham green I know because grandpa started it and it sounds the same as yours.
Comedian michael Winslow does a good impression of that starter.
Its running fine.
You made me miss my '68 Sedan Deville
Cool you have the good/bad driving light.
Awesome!!
for a 76 cadillac its running pretty good
@InfamousYG Thank you, yes I have two others plus two older Fords.
@pskittle488 Thank you. My other two Cadillacs both have the amber lenses, but they are professionally done so I thought that was the original set-up. It wasn't until a trip to the States that I realised it was not original. I certainly prefer the US way. I have seen some dreadful makeshift amber signals on Cadillacs in Australia.
Sweet!
thats neat dude i am in america and have 8 cadillacs 3 of them are 76 fleetwoods i was rasied with one in my driveway since 1976 they are better than Rolls I sold 2 shadows and replaced them with Cadillacs..hum i wonder why cheers nice fleetwood
I know for old cadillacs, you have to pump the gas pedal like 4 or 5 times before you start it, my friend has one and it's 23 years old
Nice old Caddy. Those cars were quite unique. It's a good thing you didn't have to change the rear turn indicators to amber which would have ruined the whole look of the car. I myself don't like the combination tail lights so prevalent on American cars but if a classic car was made that way you should not have to change it.
@joebuckjajaja Only certain cars, the Seville for one. This Fleetwood was carburated only.
@TheLegendMan153 Thanks for that. I really ought to start learning about this stuff - fast.
yeaahh one of my favorite cadillacs, but i'd prefer the coupe deville
@CanadianTechHelps About 3 gallons to the mile.
@joebuckjajaja Yes, that was an option, although my car does not.
Not sure if there's such thing as a 'cold start' in Brisbane lol.
Are you allowed to use left hand drives on the street?
I dunno, it's getting pretty cold up here now. Yes, LHD can be driven here but they must be 30 years or older - so this just qualifies by a few years. I have another one that I have to keep for three years before it can be driven, though - yikes!
Very nice car, glad you don't have to put those stupid amber colored lenses on it. Nothing worse than seeing a set of those on a car that never had them to begin with. As for it sounding good, it does.
@DRIFTking95M 8.2l is 500 cubic inche v8 huges
Do u still have it?
ya sound like NIGEL THORNBERRY
I wouldn't call the 77's downsized. They're less large.
Did 76 cadillac's have fuel injected system's?
Yes....electronic Sequential Injection...that used an additional transistor Pigtail on the HEI Distributor to set off the injectors. They could be problematic if the engine compartment was allowed to get dirty.....and the only way to re-set/adjust the idle mixture screw is to remove the "tamper- proof" plug GM installed on the Throttle-Body to satisfy the EPA and California CARB folks.If you ever come across one with a high-idle once warmed-up...it's because the idle-mixture screw has loosened over time.
