My dad had a ‘73 Fleetwood Brougham D’Elegance with that same 500ci. Apparently it would burn up the rear tires like nobody’s business.

That’s odd, seeing as it was an Eldorado-only motor until ‘75.

You’re probably thinking of the 472, still massive and fries tires

.....no, that’s not a motor Cadillac made. Largest motor they ever made was the 500. The ‘73 Fleetwood would have had a 472.

Hmm...he always swore it was 500ci or bigger, but the 472 would appear to be correct. Must just be a) the fact that it was 25 years ago, and b) It was while he was in college...take form that what you will.

Rock on. I always hit up the golden mile when I’m out that way. Golden Corral, the Hagerstown outlets, and the big mall there. I don’t go there enough.
