seat upholstery and distinguishes the Sedan from
the Limousine.

SPECIAL ORDERS
Partition control will be eliminated on the Seventy-
Five Sedan.
Limousine Power Door Locks Control is located on
the right rear quarter control panel. This rear control
can lock and unlock all doors. The driver's control
also will lock and unlock all doors.
Automatic Climate Control and radio controls are
on the right rear control panel, concealed behind a
sliding Rosewood panel. The Automatic Climate
Control system for the rear compartment only, is
regulated by these controls.
The rear radio controls, when ordered, will adjust
volume and tune stations, overriding the front selector.
Although the Fleetwood Seventy-Five offers a rather complete trim selection, at times requests are received
for a special interior.
Certain facts must be kept in mind when discussing any deviation from the standard interior in a Seventy-
Five.
SPECIAL HANDLING
In addition to the basic cloth or leather, many other color-keyed components are required to produce a
special color Fleetwood Seventy-Five interior. These range from injection molded vinyl to thread and buttons.
Most of these special parts must be machine-made on a one-time basis. This means that labor costs for
setting up such machines to produce only one or two individual pieces becomes very costly.
PROCUREMENT OF SPECIAL PARTS
For example, Antique Dark Jade, which is not a standard Seventy-Five interior color will need a pair of air
duct grill assemblies for installation in the headlining.
These are molded rubber and to make them in Jade, regular production must be interrupted, the machine
cleaned, Jade compound mixed and two pieces molded.
After these are made, the machine must be re-cleaned for standard colors.
Other such parts that require special attention are windlace around each door, assist straps on the rear
pillars, carpets, etc. These items are ordered on an individual basis and require additional time to procure.
EXTRA CHARGE
Because special color items require individual handling, the extra charge for a non-standard color interior
will be in the $1,800.00 to $2,500.00 range and necessitate a lead time 90 to 120 days from receipt of order.
LIMOUSINE FRONT COMPARTMENT
If a color other than black is desired for the front compartment, specify the color and material desired, e.g.,
Dark Blue Leather Front Compartment.
This type of order also requires special handling and additional time, as front compartment components are
made in black only.
CLOTH FRONT AND REAR
In a Seventy-Five Limousine S, the same cloth fabric used to upholster the rear compartment may be
substituted for the Black leather on the front seat. See page 22 for complete ordering information.
LEATHER FRONT IN R
It is not practical to upholster the Sedan front compartment in leather, because the charge would be greater
than the price difference between the Limousine and Sedan. And a leather upholstered Sedan (costing more
than the Limousine) will not have the glass division.
CONCLUSION
If, notwithstanding these lead time and price considerations, a special color interior is to be ordered, please
advise immediately the specifications wanted so that the ordering procedure may be started.
