Is this the one just called Limousine as model name? |

No, this is the Fleetwood 75, but it's converted into a Parlor Car. |

Parlor Cars are somewhat more luxurious versions of limousines, usually with the rear windows blocked off by vinyl roofs and/or that elongated "f" that you see there. |

The grille suggests a Cadillac of 1982-83, so it is possibly a custom job [from an independent coach-builder] on the Cadillac Fleetwood limousine chassis for either of these two years. Or it could be a 1978 Cadillac Fleetwood limousine with optional padded roof, opera lamps and landau roof ... fitted with an "updated" grille. BTW, "parlor" = "salon" (in French); from "salon" comes "saloon", the British version of America's "sedan". So "sedan" = "parlor car"? I don't think so ...but it's an interesting analogy, etymologically speaking! |

It's a 1978 Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine with the factory Landau Cabriolet option. http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/main.php?g2_itemId=13869 Cadillac quit identifying the limousine with the series 75 moniker after 1974. Just like they dropped 60 Special after 1970. These series designations remained in use internally, but were not used in any consumer literature or ads. They started using '75' publicly again in 1985 through 1988 when the last factory Cadillac limousine was offered. -- Last edit: 2008-04-28 18:33:04 |

It certainly looks to me as a 78. For one thing 78 was the only year of this first generation (77-79) of the 77-92 Chassis to have the Cadillac emblem on the body above the grille instead of on it. Also, this one has amber turn signals (1978). That this car is not the 80-89 generation should be obvious to anyone claiming his own expertise on these vehicles. |

They were known as series 75s (or Fleetwood Seventy-Five) up to and including the 1976 model year. They were called "Fleetwood Limousine" in the brochures in '75-'76, but were listed as "Fleetwood Seventy-Five" in the owners manual. Also, my '76 Limousine has an air pressure plate in the glove compartment and it says "Fleetwood Seventy-Five." |
