[edit] Slaughter of 1997
I removed a reference to the supposed "slaughter of 1997", as the article created on that subject was previously deleted as unverifiable material. -Colin Kimbrell 15:42, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nomenclature
there is an error in this article. the RWD D-body car wasn't simply known as "cadillac brougham" from 87-92, it was called "fleetwood brougham" right up until the redesign in 1993. the front wheel drive fleetwood and deville were also still produced in 1993. the fleetwood name was also used on some special deville based FWD limos in 1998.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.117.56.201 (talk) 20:32, 25 October 2006
This is not an error. The "Fleetwood" name was only used on the FWD C-body version from 1987 to 1992. The RWD D-body car was called simply "Brougham" during those years. In 1993, the "Fleetwood" was ONLY used on the RWD D-body car. It's confusing, I know, but check your Cadillac sales literature from those years. weetbixkid 03:24, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Consistency in style
Is it d'Elegance or D'Elegance (or perhaps something else)? Whichever it is, the article should use one convention throughout. --Schnaz 21:10, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Generation X Wheelbase
The 1971-1976 Cadillac Fleetwood did not share its chassis with the Calais/Deville. Its wheelbase was actually 133 inches long. Furthermore the wheelbase of the 1971-1976 Fleetwood 75 was 151.5 inches long.--Sadowski (talk) 02:41, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
