Once again, the big Fleetwoods came in Limousine and Formal Limousine form, with dual accessory control panels. Interiors of the basic limo were upholstered in dark blue Heather cloth. Formal limos carried black leather upholstery up front. and either black or slate gray in back. All had two fold-down auxiliary seats. Opera lamps were now on the rear roof panels, behind the quarter windows. Deeply concave wheel covers had red inserts and Cadillac’s wreath-and-crest.
