styling took a major turn. For the first time, headlights were
fully integrated into the front fenders, and a horizontal-theme
grille stretched from side to side. The hood was made front-opening
for the first time, and the gas tank filler was hidden in the left
rear taillight, a feature that became a Cadillac hallmark.� A
Series 61 Fastback was offered in both Coupe and Sedan designs as
well.� Power came from the dependable 346ci L-head V8 producing a
strong 150 horsepower with Stromberg Aerotype carburetion and
3-speed manual transmission as standard equipment.� The ride was
smooth utilizing coil spring, independent front suspension and live
rear axle with semi-elliptic springs.� Stopping power came from
large, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Offered here is a very
