There are, to be sure, many ways to describe the
superlative motor car pictured. “Beauty,”
“majesty,” “brilliance”
- all apply, in their
fullest meaning, to this new Cadillac. And yet,
from
this wonderful vocabulary, we have
selected “elegance” as the word that most fully
characterizes the Cadillac of 1960. The car’s
beautiful, clean-lined styling is certainly elegant
beyond compare.
Its new interior luxury
provides a feeling of elegance that can be sensed
nowhere else in the world of motor cars. And
even its new performance
- smooth, quiet and
effortless
- might be summarized as “elegance
in motion.” Once you have seen and driven it for
yourself, we think you will agree that the word is
“elegance”
- and that the car is Cadillac!

For the 1948 model, Cadillac introduced the legendary
tail
fin which once more set the trend in automotive
styling for nearly
two decades. This was closely
followed with the two door hardtop Coupe DeVille and

Engineering innovations, conveniences and styling dominated the
'50s and '60s. Cruise control, automatic
climate control, tilt and telescoping steering wheels,
twilight sentinel and four door hard tops all debuted in
these years. In 1957 the Eldorado Brougham featured
