    Cadillac Fleetwood — D-body, rear-drive (1993–1996)

    The 1993–1996 Fleetwood was Cadillac's rear-drive D-body sedan, the Cadillac version of the full-size B-body car: Wikipedia gives a four-door sedan only, with Fleetwood Brougham as the top option package, and the 1993 and 1996 NICB manuals list the Brougham (series DW) and, in 1996, the Fleetwood (DW) among the Cadillac car lines. Wikipedia gives the 5.7L L05 V8 and 4L60 automatic for 1993, and the 5.7L LT1 V8 with the electronically controlled 4L60-E from 1994, plus the V4P towing package. No GM order guide, data book, Heritage kit or RPO list for this Cadillac is in the archive (the gm.saturn.team Cadillac lists start in 1998), so only the engine and transmission codes and the towing package are listed: every code here is single-source (Wikipedia's Fleetwood, 4L60-E and small-block articles count as one source); the engine and transmission codes also cite the Chevrolet Caprice kits (order-guide power teams and MVMA specification pages with a printed model year) as same-platform sibling corroboration only, which never lifts a row and never proves that the Fleetwood offered them. The other options, paint and trim are a gap in the sources, not a finding that they were not offered.

    V4P Package, towing 1993–1996 Wikipedia's Cadillac Fleetwood article names RPO V4P as the factory towing package, dates it 1993 and says it was revised 1994–1996 with the LT1 engine; the same article says the package was shared with the Buick Roadmaster wagon; the contents it lists are package contents and date no year, so none is a row here single-source
