The Fleetwood name was used on the top of the Cadillac line since 1927. The name comes from Fleetwood Metal Body, the in-house coachbuilder which began producing custom Cadillac bodies years earlier. In 1946, Cadillac created a special version of the Series 60 called the "Series 60 Special Fleetwood". The Fleetwood name was then used to designate the top of the line trim of the Series 70 and Sixty Special models through 1976.

1987

The rear wheel drive Fleetwood Brougham became simply the Cadillac Brougham for 1987, leaving all Fleetwoods on the new FWD platform.

1989

For 1989, the Fleetwood line was aligned more-closely with the de Ville, essentially becoming trim variations on the same vehicle. The coupe versions of both shared the old 110.8 in (2814 mm) wheelbase, while the sedans (including the "Sixty Special") were unified at 113.8 in (2891 mm). Exterior dimensions were also identical between the model lines, with a length of 202.3 in (5138 mm) and 205.3 in (5215 mm) for the coupe and sedan, respectively. 1989 (MCMLXXXIX) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

1993

For 1993, the Fleetwood name was switched from the De Ville's front wheel drive C-body to the newly revised rear wheel drive D-body.

1994 brought the Corvette-derived LT-1 350 in³ (5.7 L) engine to make 260 hp (193.9 kW).
