Vehicle Description
"Certainly, you could have no finer introduction to the beauty of
the 1956 Cadillac line than to behold this magnificent model. It is
the Sixty Special, long regarded as the perfect representative of
Cadillac's incomparable beauty and quality. Appropriately enough,
there is but one model in the world-renowned series .a four-door
sedan which presents the 1956 Cadillac advancements with singular
majesty and elegance. Its impressive dignity and bearing are
immediately apparent from every angle. Frontal beauty has been
enhanced by a newly crafted grille, available this year in either a
rich gold or satin-finished aluminum, the Cadillac name in gold
script mounted on the grille, and a new, wider "V and Crest"
emblem. A distinctive Crest and "Sixty Special" nameplate now adorn
the front fenders, while the rear fenders feature Cadillac's new
slip-steam styling-gleaming chrome contours that flow gracefully
into the exhaust port extensions. Interiors may be furnished from a
wide selection of patterned nylons, broadcloths, metallic nylons
and fine leathers in gray, blue, beige or green. All this, together
with the Sixty Special's limousine-length wheelbase and its great
new engine, makes this Cadillac model unique in the world of
transportation." This Stunning Example is finished in Canyon Gray
