It replaced the 1935 355-D as the company's mainstream car just as the much less-expensive Series 60 was introduced.

Power was 300 to 325 hp (224 to 242 kW) for 1957. The car was rebodied with more chunky styling. The 75 name had all but disappeared from the big Cadillac, and the engine was an even 325 hp (242 kW) from the 390 in³ engine. 1957 was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The long Fleetwood became the Series 6700, in keeping with Cadillac's new scheme, in 1960. The styling was also toned down.
