Some incredible old footage from a Florida Cadillac dealership in the early 1990s has left many people feeling very nostalgic.
The footage was shared on YouTube a couple of years ago, with the footage taken in October 1993 at the Williamson Cadillac dealership in Miami, Florida.
It provides a fascinating insight into what dealerships were like over 30 years ago, as well as showcasing some of the models that Cadillac had on sale at the time.
We can see clearly why many feel so nostalgic, as it offers a glimpse into a very different world.

What can we see in the Cadillac dealership?
There is no narration to the footage, just the sights and sounds of the dealership at the time.
In it, we can see various customers taking a look at the cars, along with the salespeople working that day.
Something to note is how much smaller the cars appear to be compared to the ones we see now.
Customers checked out the cars and got to sit in them, with the vehicles even having large bows on the roof.
That gives off the illusion that they are all gift-wrapped.
A gentleman is also seen in an office, talking to a salesperson about a potential purchase.
We can hear the customer mention he has had more than four Cadillacs and has been happy with all of them.
The cars that were available at the dealership
There were quite a few cars on sale at the dealership.
As the brochure shown to the customer shows, a variety of models were available.
These range from the DeVille Concours to the standard DeVille, to the Fleetwood, and the Eldorado.
Many of the models in the video will be instantly recognizable to viewers.
As well as the main dealership, there were also pre-owned vehicles for sale outside.
Not all were Cadillacs, and some showed off their price tags, one of which was for sale at $16,600.
Buying a car now feels like a very different experience from what we see in this video from 1993.
It is interesting to see not only how the buying experience has changed, but how the cars have too.
