I never heard that expression before, although the interior appointments of these Fleetwood limousines were supposed to be as plush as the cosiest parlor or living room. This is a custom job, with shaved rear fins and Derham-styled, small, oval rear window.

The shaved tailfins were even rarer than the formal roof and I currently know of just one more 1958 Fleetwood Series Seventy-Five with that feature. The ornamental moldings were probably added later and don't look very "Derham" to me.
