1954 Cadillac Fleetwood
The Sixty Special sedan had luxurious Fleetwood style interior appointments. Identifiers included the traditional fender louvers, V-shaped ornaments on the hood and rear deck and a Fleetwood script in the latter location. Wheelbase measurements returned to 3378mm for the first time since 1949. Also seen were a panoramic (wraparound) windshield, new grille, longer more sweeping fenders and all other 1954-style appearance innovations. The newly expanded equipment list appeared on the 60S sedan, too.
