1950s–1960s
1960 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible
Classic styling with large and in-charge finned rear end
About This Vehicle
Rivalled only by Lincoln since the 1950s after the demise of Packard, Cadillac has maintained its uninterrupted reputation for building fine cars since 1903. The facelifted 1960 models featured less-pronounced tailfins and the elimination of the dated bullet-style front bumper guards, with ample power delivered by Cadillac's proprietary 389 cid V-8 engine producing 325 horsepower, matched to a four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Classic styling with a large and in-charge finned rear end, this example is the epitome of classic cruising.
Acquired from a Detroit, Michigan based collector, it is very well optioned with power steering, power brakes, power windows, a power top, air-conditioning, and a radio. Its classic long stance is elevated by chrome wire wheels. Built with a tried and true 325-horsepower 389 cubic-inch V-8 engine and four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, this example is ready for spirited drop-top cruising.
