75" FLEETWOOD
*k
TWO BODY STYLES
When ordering a Fleetwood "75" be sure the difference between the two available body types
is definitely understood and the correct one—R or S—is ordered.
LIMOUSINE STYLE S
The Limousine has a glass partition that
lowers into the center division. Front seat up-
holstery is Black leather in 2" pleated styling
which is a contrast to the rear compartment
trim style.
It does not have a front center arm rest. A
power two-way seat adjuster is standard with-
out option. The seat is attached to the center
pillars which does not permit an up and down
movement of the front seat.
Front doors do not have wood inserts and
the door pull strap is shorter than the Sedan
style R. A reading lamp, similar to the rear
compartment roof lamps, is located in the
center of the windshield header. It is controlled
by the headlamp switch which also turns the
instrument panel lights on and off.
SEDAN STYLE R
Front and rear compartments are in match-
ing trim style and cloth material.
The front seat has a center arm rest and a
6-way power adjuster is optional. Front doors
have Rosewood inserts and a long pull strap
compared to a shorter one in the Limousine.
FRONT SEAT BELTS
The Sedan R, has a self-adjusting seat belt
retractor on the two front outboard belts. Mini
buckles are a part of these belts.
On the Limousine S, the adjustment is at the
buckle with spring roller spool-type retractors.
MAJOR DIFFERENCES
The preceding are the major differences between the Sedan and Limousine body types. Follow-
ing information applies to both styles except as indicated.
AUXILIARY SEATS
Both body types have forward-facing aux-
iliary seats that fold against the front seat
back. They are upholstered in the same mate-
rial as the rear seat.
AUXILIARY SEAT ADJUSTMENT
An adjustment to provide more leg room for
auxiliary seat passengers is possible.
Turning an Allen adjustment screw at the
base of the auxiliary seat supports will pivot
the seat rearward, thereby providing more leg
room.
When altering the adjustment, a minimum
of 6Vi" between rear cushion and auxiliary
seat is recommended.
The April 1968 issue of the Cadillac Service-
man, page 16, has detailed adjustment instruc-
tions.
REAR ASH TRAYS
Each rear door arm rest has two ash trays.
One is in the forward end for the convenience
of auxiliary seat passengers. The second ash
tray is at the rear of the arm rest and includes
a lighter.
This means there are four ash trays and two
lighters in the rear compartment.
WOOD PANELS
Rosewood panels are a feature of the rear
doors and quarters of both styles. The Sedan
also has panels on the front doors and style S
has a panel across the center division.
ASSIST STRAPS
The Sedan has a one piece horizontal assist
strap across the back of front seat. It is
anchored in the center. Two individual hori-
zontal straps are on the Limousine.
An assist loop is on each rear pillar post on
both R and S styles.
OUSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
A right side outside rear view mirror is
standard on "75" cars and, therefore, factory
installed.
It is not available for factory installation on
any other body style.
POWER DOOR LOCKS
In Sedan style R, when Power Door Locks
are ordered, the control switches are on both
front door arm rests. Either switch will lock
and unlock all four doors in the same manner
as the other series four-door cars.
In the Limousine S, the switches are on the
left front door side arm rest and on the right
rear door wood insert. The rear switch will lock
and unlock all four doors.
However, the front switch will lock all four
doors, but it cannot unlock any door—front or
rear. To open either front door from the front
compartment, the door lock rod must be raised
manually.
When in locked position, the free wheeling
Passenger Guard Door Locks prevent opening
doors with the inside door handle.
In a Limousine S, with Power Door Locks,
the right rear door pull strap is shorter than
the strap on left door. This provides space on
the Rosewood insert for the Power Door Lock
switch.
