My uncle had a 70 DeVille convertible and I remember that car floated over the road so much smoother than any vehicle at any price point today. This Caddy is amazing. Reminds me of the Fleetwood I rode in as a ring boy at my cousin's wedding in '76.
When I was a teenage grocery bagger in Pasadena, CA in the late 1970s, a chauffeur driven burgundy and black 1970 Fleetwood would arrive weekly at the market. That was one impressive car which looked even better with a chauffeur in uniform.
I owned a early 1980's model Fleetwood which I purchased 25 years ago at a police auction those days for around two thousand dollars. It was awesome and in great shape. I wish I had kept it. Those are the true American cars. They are a great part of Americas history and I hope people will continue to take care of what ever is left of these great vehicles.
I used to look at Cyrus' Eaton 's maroon metallic 1970 Fleetwood w. black vinyl roof drive by , open mouthed and in awe, in 1970 when I used to live in the Avenue Rd. area in Toronto ON. I never did find out if it was chauffeur driven. From 1970 onwards , the Cadillacs went downhill in build quality. From 1968-1970 they were tops , though. I was lucky enough to own, and daily drive a 1968 2 dr Cadillac Calais.
I owned a 68. The guy is absolutely right these cars as solid as a tank, you could land a plane on the hood, and they really do float down the road. They are living room sofas on wheels. They only draw back was that you could only get 180 miles out of a25 gallon tank.
as someone told me once, and I discovered when I owned a Cadillac, is Nothing rides like a Cadillac This is really nice, and one thing I always found interesting about the Fleetwood during these years was the foot rest for the back seat riders
when I was 12 years old in 1970 I did yard work for a dear lady friend in Tyler, Texas who owned a new 1970 Fleetwood from Wagner Cadillac Co. like this one in San Mateo Red (featured in several Cadillac magazine ads) with a black vinyl roof and this same black brocade interior design - I especially remember those high back front seats! The 1970 Cadillacs were a design refreshment of the all new 1969 models.. each Saturday after I’d finished the yard work she’d take myself and several of her grandchildren to Whataburger for lunch. It was a Saturday ritual I’ll never forget. Is this the original color of the car? According to the original PPG color charts I’m guessing it is either Candor Blue or Spartacus Firemist - the colors are so similar it’s hard to tell for sure
Growing up in this era, and having driven a few of these land yachts. With that trunk you would not need to rent a truck to move. Hard to imagine how we parallel parked them vs today's Accords and Camrys
I drive a 30 year old Cadillac every day. And I love it! And yesterday I was trying to figure out why it has no heat! And after that I have to install a new driver’s door power window motor. And soon it’s going to need an oil change. And then I need to change the engine coolant and clean the battery terminals. Constant maintenance and repairs are required to daily drive an old car. But I’m not complaining because there’s not a single new car out there that I could like better than my old Cadillac! Oh, and a year ago I had a transmission shop repair the transmission. It wasn’t shifting properly and needed two new shift solenoids. The repair was probably half the cost of just one month’s payment on a new car, so again, I’m not complaining!
The epidemy of pimp it's self. This is GM'S masterpiece. This is why American car's used to be the best this is my dream if you can't tell. Please GM go back to this please! Automotive engineering perfection .
Nice ORIGINAL condition with no silly wheels for me to moan about. I seem to love to moan about cheesy low profile pimp wheels n tires. I love to see the History as it was intended. Beautiful.
Note to interviewer: You shouldn't be resting your elbow on the padded upper door panel BECAUSE at 5:00, I can already see the impression your arm left there. In few weeks time, it would leave a permanent defect. Bad habit!
Twin to the '69 model year (as Cadillac changed body stylings about every 2 years), but I prefer '69 as the front headlight/grill trim is more complete, and I don't care for the rear quarter side reflector lens on '70s models. However, this example is in superb condition, with an especially attractive shade of blue.
Missing front emblem indicates repaint, reproduction floor mats, wrong color blue for engine, underneath completely repainted. That is not IMO an all original car. Still pretty and clearly has a lot of money invested in it but not all original
I was liking the car and was about to believe it was original like stated in the video until you put it on the lift........its obvious it was a full restore , but still a nice car someone bought !
i have a question. what does one do to protect the engine, well basically the valves and valve seats, from using unleaded crap gas, The engine was made to use leaded gas.
the repaint failed to reattach the Cadillac crest on the hood for the Fleetwood was the only car in the Cadillac line in 1970 that still had the Cadillac crest
I had one of these one of the best body styles of Cadillac, there is so much room in the back of these cars...75 and 76 also good year's

This is a one in a million find. That underbody looks untouched.

God, look at that design on the upholstery. That is real class back then.
i miss such cars from 1970-1980
These cars rode so incredibly smooth. All that length weight and wheelbase. I'd love to own one of these.

Love this car! I've always liked the Cadillac's built from 1967 to 1970 a lot, those were IMO the best year's of the Cadillac's.
67 to 70 is fine but you can't stop at 70 it's through 72 they were phenomenal the 71's and 72's were awesome😊
As a kid my daddy had a blue one. I remember the seats backs as being very tall.
+BAILY DENHHOUTEN-YOU GOT THAT RIGHT! CADILLAC AIN'T CADILLAC NO MORE! LONG LIVE THESE CLASSIC CADILLACS!

Wow! You could fit ten dead mobsters and a couple of shovels in that trunk!
Would love to own that beast. Imagine driving that in the spring, summer, and fall. And best of all it’s a Cadillac.
I just bought a convertible, after selling my Coupe, a 34 year driver, but luvin the drop top.

@6:05 That paint is mirror perfect. Just gorgeous.

This was their pinnacle in my opinion, the final refinement on the '69 design. Beautiful.
8 miles per gallon and lovin' it.
11-12 in mine, and was a limo.
The way you talk about those cars . Makes me Love them More than I already do
cars like this make me smile! thanks you so much for sharing this! you made my night and put a big smile on my face
We are always glad to see people love our cars and videos!
Thats a damn fine car!
Nice ORIGINAL condition with no silly wheels for me to moan about. I seem to love to moan about cheesy low profile pimp wheels n tires. I love to see the History as it was intended. Beautiful.
Well, it is close although those are ultra modern tires. I would have preferred slightly thinner more shapely bias plys.
In 1970 Cadillac was still known as "Standard of the World".

One fine classic! I wonder if there were any big classic like this classic that had high performance. (similar to today's Bentley's and RR's)
1970 was such a beautiful caddy.
When a Cadillac was a Cadillac!
Gorgeous!
I was three in 1970 & I would drive a Cadillac like this. Beautiful Cadillac is right.
King of the road Cadillac! Beautiful car!
Dann I want that car if I only could afford it vintage cadillacs are the best!!!!
Float, float on...love it
That car was too nice to put on road & drive. 17,018 miles, incredible! Those diehard Caddy owners are unreal!
Dam thats my favorite car on the road ever ! Cadillac doesnt build them that way any more .
I like Cadillacs better than Elvis did!!!
Piece of artwork on four wheels
Incredible condition!
I love this so much 😍😍😍😍 as a 17 yr old girl I reaaaalllly would love to have this

I WANT THIS BOAT !!!!
I remember those things used to take curbs like butter.
A car that Elvis would have approved of. Cool
Where’s Priscilla?
Chances are he may have had one.

That Caddy's as big as my living room!!
I would own this over a brand new Corvette c7. no, I'm actually 21 y/o
Beautiful work of art
Art Not the plastic crap today
Listen to the door close, it sounds like their new.
Everyone loves old Cadillacs, so why doesn’t Cadillac make cars like this?
The 70 model always looked extremely heavy to me. Even though later years took the weight award.
A more solid and dependable car has NEVER been built. Except maybe for the 69 Fleetwood Brougham I had ;)
OMG Look at how clean that is..... Like New!
wish they still made them today.Cadilacs today like a camaro.
kind of sad the owner must be getting too old to drive....
It's gorgeous.
But no stand up hood ornament?
No, because they were illegal from 1968 to 1970.
The stand up hood ornaments actually came back in 1972.
Unbelievable vehicle!
beautiful car
This Car is 52 years old.
Badass ride
My father's car but beautiful midnight blue leather inside...a great car
Beautiful shop!
