Driving an original 1964 Cadillac Fleetwood everywhere!

We take a long day of driving a very nicely optioned unrestored and well used 1964 Cadillac Fleetwood hardtop. This particular car is an unrestored example still driven daily today. She shows her age a bit but runs and drives perfectly and with great reliability and thirst for fuel.

I enjoyed hearing that big V-8 roar as you went after the Corvette!

Best riding and driving Cadillac I ever owned was my 64 Fleetwood. Navy blue exterior and interior. I loved pushing the door locks. Being vacuum operated they didn’t all lock or unlock at once. The truck release was the same way, push the button and wait, finally after a lot of noises of air moving around the trunk would pop open.

Good looking machine. I had a 64 Fleetwood Brougham. Stock muffler makes it super quiet. Good to see the classic getting driven.

I remember someone in our neighborhood had a aqua blue one about 1966, what a beautiful car, I remember these used back in the 60s were about a thousand dollars more than a DeVille.
These had the same trim as the Eldorados then and I still remember the lady driving a emerald green 64 Eldorado convertible around town, that was a gorgeous car

A family member owned one, and I sometimes drove it as a teenager. It was not a hot rod, but drove like it was on rails. Gasoline was .15 cents per gallon for premium. It seemed like it held close to 35 gallons. Be it a vent wing front or rear, or side windows, they were all power. The power steering seemed like it was variable ratio, and the smooth shifting automatic transmission was a huge improvement over the one preceeding it.

That's a nice car. You're right about beauty and comfort anywhere anytime. You're unnecessarily-deliberately funny when you talk about gas and brakes. Don't add gas a litle at a time. Fill it. I drive two hours/three counties (each way) and back on a fill-up. If brakes don't work firmly and smoothly, or pull, have them fixed. I have. Mine work even on the rare occassions when I have to hit them hard. I have an '85 Cadillac and a '53 Packard. I hope that one gets fixed and enjoyed.

I enjoyed your daily driver experience. And, I like hearing the engine noise.

Dad had a royal maroon with black top 64 Fleetwood when I was in high school. I was very lucky that he let me borrow it a few times. Boy did you ever get the looks in that car.

I own a '55 and '59 Fleetwood. The '59 is an original 33-K mile car that I restored. The '55 is a 34k-mile original car that still has the original shocks on it. Everything mechanical is being restored. Engine and trans already rebuilt. I like driving a car I can count on! :)

Always loved the 64 Caddy. Had the most restrained styling of any finned Caddy. This one is real nice a s is. Would be more conventionally beautiful with new headliner, upholstery and paint. But has a lot of originality and character as she is.

Beautiful car! My dad owned a 64 Cadillac convertible back in the 60s. Brings back memories. Good for you Sir. 8 mpg but who cares? Your styling big time.

[TimGrimes-qq]

I'm glad nobody made a low rider or resto mod of it, but I would put disk brakes on it., it's a beauty

Saw one parked in Cologne, DE a couple of days ago. Just astonishing in all its ways. Must be hard to turn left and right here since our streets are way smaller than in the US. No fancy lane assist, abs or esp.

a beautifull american classic car i love it

[giuseppipiazza]

My favorite steering wheel and dash. My dad had a 62 coupe deville when i was a kid. Would love to get one before i die.

Very cool car and thanks so much for posting. Very neat to see the cornering lights working at 7:54 when you are making the left turn. Noticed the car is equipped with cruise control - does it still work?

[japanjack]

Our neighbor had this one in Dark green, he traded it in for a 1967 Fleetwood Brougham silver with a black vinyl top.

[Aztec]

Very cool, Is it a limo ? The rear window and rear window frame remind me of a limousine.

This was the last year before the Fleetwood got the 3" wheelbase stretch with the splice and the B-pillar added, so if you want the hardtop styling, it's the one to get, but if you want the extra legroom and the safety of the extra roof support, the '65 has those advantages. Either way, these are the last American cars made with 4 vent windows and they reek of coolness.
