Cadillac has used the Brougham name since 1916. In the 1950s, the name appeared as the four-door designation for the Eldorado. The Eldorado Brougham protoype model appeared in 1955, then as a limited production model from 1957 through 1960. The name was used in connection with the Fleetwood model from 1965 until 1986, and eventually, the Brougham was a separate model from 1987 through 1992.

Fleetwood Brougham

In 1965, the Brougham name reappeared as an option package on the Fleetwood. The next year, the car became a separate model, splitting the Fleetwood line into the Fleetwood Sixty Special and Fleetwood Sixty Special Brougham. This continued through 1971. For 1972, the Sixty Special name was retired, and the Fleetwood Brougham soldiered on as Cadillac's largest standard four door model through 1986.

1987 - 1992

Although the vehicle was identical to the 1986 model, the former Fleetwood Brougham - the last remaining rear-wheel drive Cadillac - was re-named in 1987 to "Brougham". The Fleetwood name went onto a new, smaller breed of front-drive Cadillac in 1985, and the confusion over the Fleetwood name being applied to two very different vehicles prompted the name change for 1987. As it had been since the late Seventies, the optional "d'Elegance" package offered more even luxurious appointments, including tufted-button seating and rear-seat reading lamps.

The rear-wheel drive Cadillac Brougham, in addition to rival Lincoln's similar Town Car, was popular among coachbuilders who manufactured stretched limousines on the Brougham's architecture.

The Brougham received a new vertical-slat grille for 1989, which was actually a re-cast from the 1980 grille. A 1990 freshening (the first one since 1980), was necessitated by a re-bodied Town Car from rival Lincoln. For 1990, Brougham received a new digital dash cluster inside, and composite headlamps, contemporary taillamps, flush bumper moldings, and an optional Chevrolet 350 V8.

Brougham used the super-long convert|121.5|in|0|adj=on wheelbase D-body platform, and the 5.0 L "Oldsmobile", 5.0 L "Chevrolet" and 5.7 L "Chevrolet" V8 engines.

The Fleetwood name returned to the RWD model with a major redesign for 1993, and Brougham again was an option package, as it had been in 1965. By its various names during these years, it was the largest standard Cadillac model.Engines:
