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.
