About the Cadillac Fleetwood 75 sedans, when we're they discontinued?
Why did they market the extra long wheelbase for the product?
During 1984, how much we're they in those days?
Is that car also featured as one of White Tiger's fleet in "Rumble in the Bronx"?

I'll have to look up the prices for 1984 to be sure, but I think they were around $25,000 or so. The in-house version was discontinued after 1984. They were then sent to Hess and Eisenhardt (of Kennedy car fame) and converted based on the front wheel drive model. If I'm not mistaken, 1986 was the last year.
As far as the extra long (18 extra inches or so) wheelbase, they were used primarily as funeral cars for grieving families. There were a set of jump seats between the front and the rear. I have a 1972 Series 75 Sedan (no divider) that can fit three adults between the front and the rear. Check out Dave's limousine page http://my.net-link.net/~dcline/limoclas.htm for some cool pix of these neat cars.
One more word about the 75's. The one I have is a great driving car. It is smooth, quiet and can be driven with some haste. It is by no means a sports car, but it is easier to drive than anything that big has a right to be.
