I love how a Grand Cherokee is a "Little Jeep".

A Grand is tiny, only seats five, no frame....tiny.

That`s right....tiny, I`m used to the Yukon XL, they feel like a smart car in comparison.

How many kms on that JGC? If it is the same power train as the diesel ML the rear main seal tends to go just past the 100K mark. (I think mine was around 120K)

The day I brought my 1970 Eldorado home, remember well the fight to get that thing on the gooseneck trailer, low and long don't play well when loading lol . My first Ebay buy lol. Was a super cool cruiser, didn't keep it long as it was an electrical nightmare. Still....wish I'd have kept it.Many more pics of it on a SD card somewhere......

The '67's had the best styling, the '70's a close second. Nice car. 501" of torque.

I loved these cars when I was a kid!

This one will be crossing the block at Barret's in 20 years bringing six figures

This is a 1993 Fleetwood Sixty Special Ultra. One of only 688 built in 1993, this particular color combo is one of 22 built! The Ultra package consisted of a snazzy set of Italdesign 22 way power seats, this was a $5000 option over a base Fleetwood sedan. Yes, they are quite comfortable. This car has 174,000 kms, very similar to the 92 Fleetwood I sold last summer. Really enjoy the highway ride of these old land yachts. Needs a few minor fixes but overall a pretty nice old car.

Couldn't agree more. I'd also like to find a set of wire wheel disks as well.

I agree.

22 way seats? Does that include ejection?

do they make new whitewalls?

Neat addition! What's your tally now? I'd imagine you've owned a LOT of cars!

There's a company called Vouge that specializes in whitewalls of all types, not cheap though. I've lucked out at junkyards finding whitewalls in the past. Right now I have a few "keeper" cars, the Audi, STS, Caprice, Century, old silverado and this Caddy fall into that category,

Another cherry old car....Man, I am jealous of what you get to do.
That generation of Fleetwood was pretty popular when I was growing up, I was never a fan of the styling, Cadillac was trying to get smaller and the proportions seem a bit off to me. Still though, as clean as this one looks, and with the additional rarity, I'd take it!

Rev, did I miss the STS? I didn't know you had one of those. Those I like, a lot. In fact I was lusting after a 1-owner low kms car on kijiji just earlier today. My dad still has his '95 he bought new, still going strong on the original Head Gasket at 300,000kms. It's had it's issues, but it still looks and drives pretty good....needs exhaust work now.

This is the STS, has 135k on it. Quite rare itself, oddly enough one popped up on Kijiji last week with 65,000k iirc. My Uncle had a 94 STS he bought new (I pestered him to buy it over a Lexus lol) they had 340,000 km on it when they sold it to the neighbors kid, also never had any engine issues. Love the look of the 92-97 STS, my favorite 90's caddy.

Right, I remember seeing that car now....Obviously I was thinking 92-97, those earlier ones were not popular around here at all, and I've only ever seen a handful of them in person. IMO, the proportions on that STS work better than the Fleetwood.

I agree that the 92-97's were the best Cadillac's of the 90's. If I found a good buy on a clean one in black I'd be very tempted...

The 94-96 Fleetwoods had the 260-horse, LT1 engine. Literally, tons o' fun.
