Dream Car Giveaway

 

The 1974 Fleetwood Sixty-Special Brougham came with all DeVille standard equipment plus Automatic Level Control; Dual Comfort front seat; front and rear reading lights; padded vinyl roof with chrome rear window moldings; carpeted foot rests and L78 x 15/B white sidewall tires of bias-belted construction. Fleetwood ornamentation, nameplates and round corner, four window roof styling were seen again. The Brougham d'Elegance option package was available again, including the same type of appointments outlined for the DeVille d'Elegance, but at nearly twice the price on the bigger car. Even more ostentatious was the Talisman group with

  • four-place seating in Medici crushed velour arm chair style seats
  • full length center consoles with writing set in front and rear vanity
  • reclining front passenger seat
  • assist straps
  • special Turbine wheel discs
  • seat back pockets
  • deep-pile carpeting floor mats
  • standup hood ornament and special rear roof pillar Fleetwood Talisman scripts

Even more luxurious was a leather trim Talisman package, an option which cost only $100 less than a brand new 1974 four-cylinder Ford Pinto two-door sedan!
