Lincoln interior had much better fit, finish and materials. The dash pad didn’t crack apart as did the Fleetwood Brougham. That big ugly square passenger air bag cover on the dash of the Fleetwood and cheap plastic showed how little GM actually cared about this car at the end. The Lincoln rode and handled better and was quieter. If the only thing Cadillac had going for it was a better zero to sixty, so be it.

I wouldn't agree with the performance, the LT1 is faster but the 4.6 litre in the Town Car was far more reliable and produced for 20 years after its debut. These engines are known to, and actually have made it to 500,000 miles. That is out of the ordinary with the LT1.
You seem to have very high praise for a Cadillac style that didn't get much love and lasted only four years; after GM axed the B bodies in 1996 the Ford Panther cars lasted another 15 years.
Never cared for this style myself, my favorites are Coupe DeVille/Fleetwood from 1977-1981.
