Transmission:

  • 4-speed Hydra-Matic automatic

Drivetrain:

  • Rear-wheel drive (RWD)

Wheelbase:

  • ~149.8 in (3,810 mm) — significantly longer than standard Cadillacs

Overall Length:

  • ~252 in (over 21 ft / ~6.4 m)

Curb Weight:

  • Approximately 2,400–2,600 kg (5,300–5,700 lb), depending on equipment

  • Built for executive transport, government use, hotels, and ceremonial service

  • Glass divider between driver and passenger compartment

  • Folding auxiliary “jump seats”

  • Extensive sound insulation and luxury trim

  • Higher level of hand-finishing compared to standard production Cadillacs

Approximately 700–750 examples of the Fleetwood Series 75 were produced for the 1959 model year (commonly cited figure: about 710 units).

These limousines were built in far smaller quantities than standard Cadillac models and involved a greater degree of hand assembly, making them considerably rarer today.

The 1959 Series 75 was not merely a stretched Cadillac but a true coachbuilt-style luxury limousine of its era—sharing the powerful mechanical platform of standard models while offering far greater exclusivity, craftsmanship, and presence. Today it is regarded as one of the most iconic and collectible American luxury cars of the late 1950s.
