Every Cadillac Fleetwood generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.

Fleetwood year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 19 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.

Will a Fleetwood fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 18.7 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 18.7 ft | Overhangs — expect a tight squeeze |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 6.4 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 158 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 76.8″ | 78.7″ | -1.9″ |
| Wheelbase | 121.7″ | 130.7″ | -9.0″ |
| Curb weight | 4,233 lb | 5,004 lb | -771 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
