Market commentary
If there was one car that embodied Jim Taylor's "Passion for the Drive" it was this Cadillac sleeper. Primed to scorch the quarter-mile or rule at stoplight drags all while cossetted in button-tufted leather pillow back luxury, it's a driver's Caddy not the grandma's Caddy it looks like from the outside. The Hagerty Price Guide pegs the regular 150hp '80 Brougham d'Elegance at about $11,000 but the added 350 horsepower and overall preservation are more than worth the premium.
