The 23rd car in "Buying a Used American Car on a Budget of 4 Million Yen" is an officially imported used "Brougham," the last of Cadillac's "RWD Full Size" models.
The "1955" model is mentioned several times during the video, but it's just a misstatement. In my head I'm thinking "1995 model", but somehow I'm wrong. And I didn't notice it at all until I started the editing process...

With an overall length of over 5.7 meters, a wheelbase of over 3 meters, and a vehicle weight of over 2 tons, this large body with bench seat and column shift accommodates 6 passengers. It has a squarish, rectangular form with long front and rear overhangs. And a large-displacement V8 engine with plenty of torque. It is a car that is the embodiment of the "Cadillac" as imagined by Japanese people of the same generation or older as the author.
This generation of Cadillacs is not only visually appealing, but when you get in the car and drive it, you can't help but get a sense that it is an American car. The steering wheel, instrument panel, dashboard, the big hood you can see beyond the dashboard, the feel and comfort of the seats, the powerful pulse of the V8, the soft ride, etc. Everything you feel with all five senses is American (laugh). It is a car that is worth the price by itself, or rather, it is a car that sticks out to fans of American cars.
As you can see in the video, the interior and exterior are clean, the engine, transmission, suspension, and other mechanical systems are solid, and the car is easy to maneuver for its size. The selling price is also affordable enough for an ordinary worker. However, after all, size is size. To purchase this vehicle, a supportive living environment may be a must.
