Eldorado, the center leather or vinyl section will<br />

Basic Trim Code<br />
With Gray Broadcloth, the basic trim should be<br />
716 or 016; Beige 742 or 042, This means that<br />
except for the seat cushions and backrests<br />
which will be Broadcloth, the balance of the<br />
entire interior from carpets to headlining will be<br />
in the standard production combination of<br />
materials.<br />
Trim 719<br />
Trim Style<br />
Dumont cord trim will be "three-pillow" backrest<br />
style when ordered in a Brougham or Sixty<br />
Special.<br />
The center section of the seats will also be in<br />
the Dumont material, not leather. That is why<br />
the bolsters are marked 719 in the order illustration.<br />
It means the entire top cover of the seats<br />
and face of backrests will be in the cloth fabric.<br />
Color<br />
This Fleetwood "75" cord material is medium<br />
Gray. However, certain prefabricated sections<br />
will be light Gray.<br />
Such components as the headlining, back of<br />
front seat back panel, doors, door pulls, seat<br />
belts will be light tone. Combination 016 is,<br />
therefore, specified for the basic trim which<br />
represents the light tone color on these parts.<br />
Landau Roof<br />
Available on "75" Limousine or Sedan<br />
For a formal appearance of unmatched distinction<br />
a Landau Roof option is offered on the<br />
Fleetwood "75". In this treatment the upper<br />
rear quarters are blocked in, the roof padded<br />
and vinyl covered, a fully chromed Landau Bow<br />
applied to each side and the rear window size<br />
reduced.<br />
Other options that may be specified are:<br />
1. Omit Landau Bows<br />
2. Retain regular rear window size<br />
Exterior ornamentation includes a FLEETWOOD<br />
plaque on the vinyl upper rear quarters and a<br />
wreath and crest on the lower quarters. The<br />
wreath and crest also appears on the lower rear<br />
quarters of standard "75" cars.<br />
A Padded Roof only may be ordered by marking<br />
a top color number under TOP on the order<br />
form.<br />
Firemist Colors<br />
Extra Charge All Body Styles<br />
Five Firemist colors are offered on all body styles<br />
at extra charge.<br />
Each of the Firemist options is distinctive and<br />
reflects a strong primary color value in its<br />
category.<br />
Firemist color code numbers start with 9 and<br />
may be ordered by marking the number in the<br />
regular color space on the order form.<br />
Usually, there is no procurement delay in ordering<br />
any of these regular production Firemist colors.<br />
Two-tone exterior color combinations are not<br />
available as the body styling does not provide<br />
a separation of roof and upper rear quarters<br />
from the lower panels.<br />
Except on the Calais series, a two-tone appearance<br />
may be obtained by ordering a Vinyl<br />
Roof in a contrasting color from one of the<br />
six options.<br />
Special Colors<br />
Past model or non-standard colors can be<br />
supplied on special order at extra charge.<br />
To order type 00 in COLOR space on order form<br />
which denotes that color is not a standard<br />
option.<br />
In space captioned SPECIAL EXTERIOR COLOR<br />
describe color by name and model year, e.g.<br />
1964 Lime, 1959 Seminole Red, etc.<br />
Allow four to five weeks for shipment of any<br />
special color.<br />
Orders for past model colors are matched in<br />
current high gloss acrylic materials. The previous<br />
color, especially if it is a few years old may have<br />
been formulated with now obsolete pigments.<br />
The newer chemicals have improved color retention<br />
and durability. However, they could<br />
produce a variance in appearance between the<br />
newer and older color.<br />
This is a matter of information that may be of<br />
special interest to fleet owners who add new<br />
cars in the original fleet colors and have noticed<br />
a difference in their older and newer vehicles.<br />
