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 ward
is
“elegance” - and that the car is Cadillac!
