Title: 1969 Fleetwood low miles

Wow!
I think its the real mileage by the underwood condition.

John,

I  agree. All the usual wear points look legit. My only question would be the carpet. It appears to be loop pile and almost all Cadillacs into the 70's had cut pile.

That is odd about the carpeting. What is interesting is that this very car was part of the Thomas Cadillac collection that was auctioned in April 1996. I was at that sale and purchased a 78 Custom Classic Biarritz that was offered.
At the time of the sale the Fleetwood had 6,043 miles and sold for $9800 plus 10%.....I recall seeing the car at various SoCal events thru the years. I can't say I recall the carpeting though

The carpeting is a mystery. Perhaps a replacement.
Or...was it possible to order loop carpeting in place of cut pile in 1969?
I prefer loop myself.
