For 1967 the most expensive offering from Cadillac was the
Fleetwood Series 75 limousine, with a price tag of $10,571. A total
of 4,133 examples of the Series 75 Fleetwood were manufactured in
1967; of those, only 965 were built as luxurious four-door
limousines. According to a Cadillac production record, this
stunning limousine left the factory finished in Sable Black with a
grey interior and optioned with power windows, radio, soft ray
glass, door guards, climate control, license frames, auto level
control, and four-ply whitewall tires. The Cadillac was purchased
new by noted Canadian businessman George Montegu Black II of
Ontario, Canada. The car has remained under single-family ownership
from new. Distinguished passengers of this Series 75 Fleetwood
limousine include Prince Philip and Richard Nixon.
Offered very much in the way it left the factory, the Cadillac
prominently features a golden eagle hood ornament in addition to
retaining its 1973 Ontario personalized front license plate. Today
the limousine's odometer displays only 15,035 miles. The chauffeur
compartment is finished in black leather, while the opulent rear
passenger compartment is fitted in grey cloth featuring a pair of
fold-away jump seats. A privacy divider separates the chauffer
compartment from the passengers. It rides on thin whitewall tires
mounted on steel wheels with factory wheel covers. The car is
accompanied by a copy of Cadillac's build information, its owner's
manual, protection plan book, Protect-O-Plate, and CAA
pamphlet.
Recent work on the Cadillac included a number of items to make the
car reliable and road worthy, highlighted by the installation of a
new brake master cylinder, new front and rear brake components, a
new heater core and hoses, new fan clutch, new oil pan gasket, new
water pump, new ball joints, new A-arm bushings, and the
re-chroming of the front bumper.To view this car and others
