History

The 1966 Cadillac Fleetwood was the pinnacle of American luxury sedans, embodying opulence, power, and prestige. As part of the Fleetwood Sixty Special series, this model was a step above the standard Cadillac lineup, offering a more exclusive and refined experience. It was designed under Bill Mitchell, Cadillac’s head of design, and was known for its extended wheelbase, giving passengers unparalleled legroom and comfort. The 1966 model was the last of its generation, featuring subtle styling refinements, including a more prominent grille, revised taillights, and sleeker body lines.

An interesting fact about the 1966 Fleetwood is that it was a popular choice among U.S. presidents, diplomats, and celebrities, often used as a formal chauffeur-driven vehicle. Cadillac also introduced automatic climate control in 1966, making it one of the first manufacturers to offer a fully automatic temperature regulation system. This model remains a prized collector’s item, celebrated for its combination of power, elegance, and cutting-edge luxury features, marking the end of an era before the arrival of more restrained designs in the late 1960s.
