1967 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD

FLEETWOOD SIXTY-SPECIAL SUB-SERIES 680/681

Full-length bright metal body underscores; Fleetwood wreath and crest emblems for the hood, trunk and roof pillar; the lack of horizontal lower body rub moldings and Fleetwood block letters on the lower front fenders and passenger side of the deck lid characterized the new Sixty-Specials. The Brougham featured a padded Cordova vinyl top with model identification scripts attached to the roof "C" pillar. Added to the list of DeVille equipment were Automatic Level Control suspension and power operated ventipanes. The Brougham also included lighted fold-down trays; adjustable reading lamps and carpeted fold-down footrests.

FLEETWOOD SEVENTY-FIVE SUB-SERIES 697/698

The year's new styling was beautifully rendered on the Cadillac long-wheelbase models which had extra-long rear fenders and an extended "greenhouse" with a formal, high-headroom look. Fleetwood wreath and crest emblems decorated the hood and the trunk and there were Fleetwood block letters at the right side of the deck lid. A simple horizontal body rub molding, lengthened to fit the elongated sheetmetal, trimmed the sides of these elegant machines. Standard equipment included all found in DeVilles plus Automatic Level Control; air-conditioning; carpeted fold-down foot rests and 8.20 x 15, four-ply 8PR black tires.
