I own one don't agree with anything you say. Yours must have been in rough shape!
I hardly turn my head to park, but the car turns heads all day long. And never had a better ride.

I bought my 1970 Cadillac convertible when it was 9 years old.
The original owner was told to "dump it" because it had 100,000 on the clock! I drove it another 150,000 miles trouble free before having the engine and transmission rebuilt, balanced and blue printed.
My car gets 16 MPG on the highway. It truly is the best driving car I have ever owned.
I do like the ability to see all four corners; makes for easy parking.
Having owned several 1969 and 70 Cadillacs, the Fleetwoods were the most comfortable; coil seat springs. Sedans appear to ride better than convertibles, only because they are very well soundproofed.
They are the epitome of power and luxury. Find a good one and keep it forever! I consider the 1969-70s to be sleepers. The value will only continue to rise.
The braking system is very well designed, and I have no complaints with the handling. Step on the gas pedal and drive.
