enter the new decade with a "bigger isn't necessary better"
philosophy and the 1960 Cadillac was given a slightly less dramatic
fin when compared to the tacked on twin pod lamps used in '59. Less
chrome also was to slowly become an industry standard and it was
now used primarily as a body highlight and not purely for
decoration. Powertrains remained the same as the in '59 although
this was the last year that a 2barrel or 3x2 barrel 'Tri-Power'
carburetor was offered. This would also be the last year for the
wrap around windshield styling. In 1960 Cadillac was the ultimate
GM jewel outselling Lincoln, Chrysler amp; Imperial combined!The
Harley Earl designed Cadillac Series 62 was a large luxurious
Cadillac that could easily carry six people and had a power top,
air suspension and featured a large 6,390 cc (390 c.i.) V8 engine
with drum brakes. The marque was discontinued in 1964.This car has
it's rare original factory 'Fawn Metallic' color paint with a
beautifully original matching 'Saddle' color leather interior and
it's factory tonneau cover and a correct 'Light Sandalwood' color
power soft top! The floor boards, trunk and all the typical
rust-prone areas are completely solid and rust-free and the car has
no signs of any accidents - obviously an always garaged and
cherished car since new.The 429/340HP V8 engine is extremely strong
and powerful and sounds absolutely magnificent! This particular car
also drives absolutely magnificently - it must really be seen and
driven to be fully appreciated - a truly remarkable daily driver
that will give any modern day car a run for it's money!This is a
rare opportunity to own a great daily driving and rust free example
of a rare unrestored survivor and highly factory optioned (very few
Cadillac buyers ordered factory A/C in 1960 due to it's exorbitant
cost!) 1960 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible! A striking example
which is a perfect car for the Cadillac enthusiast who would
appreciate it's rare authentic originality or simply a great daily
driving and turn-key ready example of one very fine classic 1960's
American classic car for any classic American classic car
