The seller offers for sale this 1969 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, a full-size luxury sedan powered by a 7.7-litre V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission. This specific example was assembled in Antwerp and initially served as both a funeral and wedding car in Belgium, which helps explain the relatively low mileage reading of 105,000 km. While this mileage is not documented as guaranteed, the car’s ceremonial past suggests limited and respectful use.
The vehicle was repainted in 2024 and now presents in a beautiful condition. Bodywork and paint are described by the seller as needing no further attention. The car features power-assisted front disc brakes, upgraded with a new master cylinder, and benefits from electronic ignition for increased reliability.
The black cloth interior is complete and intact. Major trim elements are present, and the door panels and seats are in preserved condition. There are two noted issues: the dashboard clock and the air conditioning are not operational. Otherwise, the cabin retains its original styling and character.
Technically the car is solid and holds a valid tecnical inspection certificate.
Cadillac’s Fleetwood Brougham models were positioned as the pinnacle of American comfort and opulence in the late 1960s. For the 1969 model year, the Brougham was powered by the 472 cubic inch (7.7-litre) V8, delivering effortless torque and highway cruising ability. With a focus on rear passenger luxury, these cars featured longer wheelbases and superior ride comfort compared to standard Cadillac sedans. The name “Brougham” originally referred to a 19th-century carriage style but evolved into a Cadillac trim level representing peak luxury.
The 1969 model year marked a design shift for Cadillac, with more sculpted lines and hidden windshield wipers. As part of General Motors’ upper tier, the Fleetwood Brougham came lavishly equipped by default, with amenities such as power windows, power seats, and in many cases, automatic climate control and optional leather or velour interiors. While many Broughams saw hard daily use, few survive in ceremonial or low-mileage contexts such as this one. The fact that it was built in Antwerp also adds European appeal to an otherwise distinctly American model.
With increasing interest in large American luxury cars of the 1960s, especially those in clean cosmetic and mechanical condition, this Cadillac represents a collectible that combines style, scale and storied heritage.
