Title: 1975 Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance WITHOUT Opera Lamps. Sightings? Owners?
Post by: Grace6B69S5Q on November 28, 2023, 07:11:58 PM
Greetings,

Subject says it all - Respectfully seeking any information, ownership experiences, or sightings of any 1975 (incl. '74 & '76) that were NOT factory equipped with exterior opera lamps.

Reason for my inquiry: My '75 Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance was never equipped with opera lamps (and there is no evidence that any such provision was made), but I have yet to learn of or see any others.  Maybe this is just a fluke, but I'm stumped.

Any replies and insights greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
D. Philip

Customers could delete (some) included package features, as example a vinyl top delete. Many included a credit cost reduction.

If you google "1975 or 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood" there are pictures of cars without opera lamps.  In 1976 I believe they were a $96.00 option.

Except on Brougham d'Elegance/Talisman they are standard. Not on standard Brougham.
