In 1977 GM significantly down-sized their full sized cars. The Fleetwood Brougham rode on the same 121.5" wheelbase and were powered by the 425ci V8. This engine was basically a de-bored version of the 472/500 V8 of previous years. Compared with the 1976 Fleetwood Sixty Special Brougham, the Fleetwood Brougham had a wheelbase 11.5" shorter and weighed nearly 900 lb less.The Fleetwood Brougham was considered the top of the line Cadillac but was virtually identical to the lesser Sedan De Ville.
