| SPECIFICATIONS |
| ENGINE: Eight-cylinder, 340 HP*, overhead, 90 degrees V-type; bore 4.13", stroke 4.0"; displacement 429 cu. in. Max. torque 480 ft.-lbs.
Engine mounted in rubber at three points. |
| PISTONS: Aluminium alloy, slipper type to reduce friction surfaces and permit nesting between crankshaft counterweights. Two compression rings,
one new wider oil ring with expander; top compression ring molybdenum-filled to minimize wear on cylinder walls. Contoured piston head increases turbulence
for fast, complete burning of fuel-air mixture. |
| CARBURETOR: Four-barrel downdraft with equalized manifold; mechanical fuel pump; dry-type air filter; automatic choke. |
| LUBRICATION: Full-pressure. Full-flow oil filter standard. |
| ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: New 12-volt. 13-plate battery. High-capacity, 42 amp. generator (55 amp. air cond. cars). |
| GASOLINE TANK CAPACITY: Approximately 26 gallons. |
| TURBO HYDRA-MATIC: Fully automatic, torque converter type with variable stator (except Seventy-Five). Converter multiplies engine torque for increased
driving thrust at rear wheels during acceleration in any gear (low, intermediate or high). |
| REAR AXLE: Hypoid. Differential housing offset to provide straight-line drive. Ratio is 2.94 with a 3.21 axle available. The 3.21 axle is
standard on on all airconditioned models and the Seventy-Five models. Available is the controlled differential which directs power to the rear wheel
having better traction. |
| FRONT SUSPENSION: Spherical joint with Cadillac independent, helical-coil-type springs. Rubber mounted strut rods and rubber bushings
absorb impacts and isolate road noise. |
| REAR SUSPENSION: Four-link drive. Rear springs are helical-coil-type. Rubber bushings for quieter, softer ride. |
| BRAKES: Cadillac Power Brakes with self-adjusting shoes; finned front and rear drums.
Split hydraulic master cylinder provides independent piston and fluid reservoir for front and rear brakes. |
| PARKING BRAKE: Serves as true auxiliary brake... will not lock in position with engine running and car in gear...
can be operated as a foot emergency brake while car is in motion. Automatically releases when transmission is in any drive range. |
| STEERING: Cadillac Variable Ratio Power Steering standard equipment. Over-all steering ratio of 16.7 to 1
(except 18.2 on Seventy-Five models) and 38.5 degrees turning angle for fast response and short turning diameter. |
| FRAME: Perimeter frame is fully boxed in its entire length with hidden bulkheads for additional torsional rigidity. |
| TIRES: Low-pressure, 2-ply (4-ply rating) tubeless, size 9.00 x 15 on all models except the Fleetwood Seventy-Five, on which the size is 8.20 x 15, 4-ply (8-ply rating).
Black sidewalls are standard on all models except the Eldorado on which white sidewalls are standard. White sidewalls may be selected on all other models. |
| CORNERING LIGHTS: (Standard equipment) On the side of front fenders, activated by directional signal lever when headlamp switch is on.
Project a beam of light from the side of the car, thus illuminating road-side and road signs for extra convenience at night. |
| TREAD: Front and rear, 62.5". |
| WHEELBASE: 129.5" (Fleetwood Sixty Special Sedan and Brougham, 133"; Fleetwood Seventy-Five, 149.75"). |
| OVER-ALL LENGTHS: 224" (Fleetwood Sixty Special and Brougham, 227.5"; Fleetwood Seventy-Five, 244.5"). |
