Fleetwood Sixty Special Cadillac Models & History 1972
This model had all DeVille features plus Automatic Level Control and, on the Brougham, Dual comfort front seat; rear seat reading light; carpeted foot rests; and a padded vinyl roof with rear window chrome molding. As the only Cadillac on the 133 inch wheelbase, Broughams were identified by their large, rounded corner, four window styling, Fleetwood front fender lettering; and laurel wreath hood and deck badges. Many were sold equipped with the coach lamp option and bright body underscores, with rear extensions.
