Vehicle Description
1956 CADILLAC FLEET WOOD SERIES SIXTY SPECIAL "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, broadcloth, 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
