1963 Fleetwood 75 Cadillac history

Cadillac's extra-long nine-passenger cars (Series 6700) were the only pillared four-door sedans in the line. Standard equipment was the same as on base 6300 models and Series 62 convertibles. Trimmings included a full-length lower beltline molding of a simple, but elegant design. Convertible top-look rooflines and windshields with forward "dog leg" style pillars were 1962 carry-overs seen exclusively on this line.

I. D. NUMBERS

Motor serial numbers took the same form used in 1962, with the first pair of symbols changed to "63" to indicate the new model year
Applicable codes were stamped in the same locations on the cars
The alphabetical body identification code "C" was no longer used, since the short-deck Town Sedan was dropped from the 62 Series
However, the short-deck 6300 model, called the Sedan DeVille Park Avenue, was retained and used the same "D" body identification symbol
Rooflines on two-door hardtops were restyled, which brought a change in body style coding, but not in the alphabetical suffix
