I have no interest in this item, but I saw it, and thought that you RWD guys would like to at least see it. And since it is perhaps a car "I've always wanted..." now and then, if you buy it, your bride can (partially) blame me...

Too bad that, like most real RWD Fleetwoods, the color is too dark.

Did any 1992 Fleetwoods have a lower body color that matched the rest of the car (instead of the common silver)?

If the upper color was Silver or Antelope Firemist, the molding color was automatically matched to the upper color. No other choice was offered for either color.

If the upper color was Light Sapphire Blue, White or Black, the lower moldings could be ordered either in Silver, or with "contrasting color delete" - in other words - matched to the respective upper color.

For all other upper colors, Silver was the only choice for the moldings.

1992 Cadillac Fleetwood Coupe

Two different animals. Topic car is a (RWD) Brougham (no longer called "Fleetwood Brougham" after 1986) which was only offered in a 4 door sedan, the Division having decided too many models with the word "Fleetwood" was beginning to cause confusion.

Unfortunately this decision had the opposite effect as most people continued referring to the large RWD model as the "Fleetwood Brougham" or just "Fleetwood" as it was done in the title of this tread.

If that wasn't confusion enough, Cadillac again designated the Brougham's replacement as "Fleetwood" and "Fleetwood Brougham" when it was restyled in 1993 (along the lines of the Caprice/Roadmaster body). The Fleetwood Brougham had a more upscale interior than the base Fleetwood. This model was manufactured until 1996 which would be Cadillac's final RWD for some time.
