The Cadillac Brougham is a line of luxury cars manufactured by Cadillac from the 1987 through the 1992 years. It was the 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, with the "Fleetwood" tag dropped. The optional extra-luxurious ''d'Elegance'' package introduced during the Fleetwood era remained available. The model received a facelift in 1990. ==Early History== Originally used for a single horse drawn enclosed carriage for 2-4 people, the “Brougham” owes its name to British statesman, Henry Brougham. Cadillac first used the name in 1916 to designate an enclosed 5-7 passenger sedan body style.〔 In the thirties, the name was given to a formal body style with open chauffeur compartment and enclosed rear quarters, metal roof and often "razor-edged" styling.〔 When Cadillac started offering Fleetwood bodies on some of its cars in 1925, the Brougham body style was Fleetwood bodied every year with the exception of 1926.〔〔 After 1937 the Brougham name was not applied to any Cadillac for the remainder of the pre-World War II period.〔〔 The Brougham name would eventually reappear on the 1955 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham show car which preceded the 4-door Eldorado Brougham hardtops of the 1957 to 1960 model years.〔〔 The 1957 Cadillac Series 70 Eldorado Brougham joined the Sixty Special and the Series 75 as the only Cadillac models with Fleetwood bodies although Fleetwood script or crests did not appear anywhere on the exterior of the car, and so this would also mark the first time in 20 years that that a Fleetwood bodied car was paired with the Brougham name. After a five year absence the Brougham name reappeared as an option package on the 1965 Cadillac Sixty Special.〔〔 The following year the Brougham moved up to becoming a subseries of the Fleetwood Sixty Special.〔〔 This continued through 1970.〔〔 Starting in 1971 the Sixty Special was only available as the well equipped Fleetwood Sixty Special Brougham.〔〔 When the Sixty Special Series was retired in 1977, the Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham took its place as Cadillac's most luxurious owner-driven large sedan model through 1986.〔 The Brougham finally became a separate model from 1987 through 1992.〔〔 This was the last Cadillac to be produced with no airbags. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cadillac Brougham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
