Vehicle Description
1940 Cadillac 60 Special 1938 Harley Earl-Bill Mitchell designed
Sixty Special was added between Cadillac's lowest-priced line of
cars, the 'Series 60', and the 'Senior' large-bodied Cadillacs. It
replaced the model '70' short-base Series 70. Although all
first-generation 60 Specials were built at the Fleetwood Plant, the
60 Special was marketed as a Fisher Body car in 1938 and 1939.
Four-door sedan, designed to look like a convertible sedan,
showcased trend-setting features including a completely integrated,
coupe-like trunk which launched 'three-box' sedan styling; no
running boards which all makes soon followed; two-piece,
convertible-style doors Bill Mitchell called the '38 60 Special
'the first hardtop'; a 'four-window' canopy with more glass area
than any Cadillac before; a steeply-raked windshield and four
front-hinged doors. Contrary to what was then the trend in luxury
automobiles, Sixty Special was intended as an owner-driven car,
rather than a chauffeur-driven one Starting in 1940, and for the
remainder of its existence, the Sixty Special would be Fleetwood
marketed, enjoying higher-priced molding, trim and upholstery like
the Series 75 and 90. Thus it took over the Series 70's place,
which was dropped for the 1938 model year, as the most luxurious
owner-driven large model, a role it would fill through 1976. CLEAN
