Yes, I believe so, at 234" IIRC.

Listing says the interior is leather, but based on the crack/tear in the picture showing the power seat switch (as well as the funky sewing pattern in the seats) I'm willing to bet that those seats are vinyl.

Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to be able to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

I do believe that the '74-'76 Fleetwoods were the biggest and heaviest standard production Cadillacs ever.

Is it really a Brougham? They did all come with a vinyl roof.
Those wheels are grotesque.

It's a Brougham Brougham.  :yes:

1971 was the last year that it was technically known as the Fleetwood Sixty Special Brougham. And yes, they were all Broughams since the base Sixty Special was almost a no show for the 1970 model year. In '72 the "Sixty Special" moniker was dropped and they became known as the Fleetwood Brougham.

According to Wiki, the longest regular production car was the 1973 Chrysler Imperial, coming in at 235.3 inches/5.9766 meters.

It's hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it's damned near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.

Depends on the definition of "regular production" though.

The '70 Fleetwood 75 was 245.3" long. Then in '74 it was 252"

So, does the 75 count as regular production?

Keeper

I would say thats a yes but who really knows.

The Seventy Five could be considered a production car. It was built on a line separate from the regular line, then bodies shipped to be mated with the chassis coming down the line. They made about 1,500 per year, so I think that could be considered production.

Whatever.  :doh:  The average schmoo didn't buy a Series 75. They bought Coupe's, Sedans, and Convertibles. 1500/year in no way compares to the hundreds of thousands of the other models. Be it Cadillac, Lincoln or Chrysler.

I didn't say "Regular" production, did I? But you can't deny that any car built as such in a series can be called a production car.
