If Cadillac Fleetwoods had the same net $$$ per unit as Escalades, GM would be building them today.
That said, it would've been possible to update those vehicles, like any other.
When you're an institutional (gov't) buyer in the US, you are often obliged by your funding source to choose a domestic supplier of equipment. GM and Ford had the market split between them, so they knew their LEO customers would have to buy whatever they had to sell. Hence, police Explorers. Police Tahoes. Police F-150s.

The Management Class at GM killed off the last great American-made, V8-powered, rear-wheel drive cars to appease journalists and environmentalists. After that happened, I hated environmentalists for several decades. I still despise The Management Class.
