1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Seventy-Five Sedan

This 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine is finished in Georgian Silver with a matching full vinyl roof over the original blue Medici Crushed Velour interior. It is a low-mileage original Fleetwood Seventy Five nine-passenger sedan and one of just 834 built for the final year of the full-size Cadillac. Unlike most of these, this is not the formal limousine with the restrictive front compartment and divider window, but the true personal luxury Cadillac preferred when new by companies and families.

The car has fewer than 20,000 original miles from new and is powered by its original Cadillac 500 cubic-inch V8 mated to a Turbo Hydramatic 400 3-speed automatic transmission. Additional features include front and rear automatic climate control with dual air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, rear level-ride suspension, cruise control, power windows, power door locks, and six-way power front seat.

This was the final year for the traditional large-sized Cadillac automobiles before the shift by General Motors towards smaller cars. The Fleetwood 75 continued until the 1980s, however, it would not be this opulent as in the mid-1970s.
