1961 Cadillac DeVille

Cadillac’s were restyled and re-engineered for 1961. The new grille slanted back towards both the bumper and the hood lip along the horizontal plane and sat between quad headlamps. New forward slanting front roof pillars with non-wraparound windshield glass was seen. The revised backlight (rear window) treatment had crisp, angular lines with thin pillars on some models and heavier, semi-blind-quarter roof posts on others. A new short-deck sedan was situated in the 6300 lineup, ostensibly created for rich dowagers with small parking stalls in their luxury apartment houses.

The DeVille models were retained as the 63 sub-series (which was technically part of the Sixty-Two line), but the Eldorado Seville and Brougham were dropped. This moved the Eldorado Biarritz convertible into the DeVille sub-series. DeVille models featured front fender series designation scripts and a lower body "skeg" trimmed with a thin three-quarter length spear molding running from behind the front wheel opening to the rear of the car. Standard equipment was the same used on 6200 models plus Two-way power seat and power windows. The Biarritz convertible also had power vent windows, whitewall tires, Six-Way power bench seat (or bucket seats) and remote control trunk lock. The new short-deck four-door hardtop appeared in mid-season and is often referred to as the Town Sedan.

1961 Cadillac Overview

1961 Cadillac Having become America's undisputed luxury leader well before the Sixties, Cadillac maintained its sales supremacy by continuing to emphasize mechanical refinement and the latest comfort and convenience features. Yet perhaps more of its great success in these years was owed to styling that became progressively more graceful and restrained, though still recognizably Cadillac. Nowhere was the turn from Fifties flamboyance to conservative good taste more evident than in the gradual shrinking of Cadillac's famous tailfins; having reached mountainous proportions for 1959, they would be all but gone six years later.

The Sixties brought few engineering advances of the sort that had earned Cadillac such great renown during the previous 20 years. Its most technically interesting car of this decade was the front-drive Eldorado, introduced for 1967. The smallest Cadillac since the last 1940 LaSalle, it combined mechanical innovation with traditional Cadillac lines that still look good today.

1961 Cadillac But it was consistently good styling across the broadest model line in the luxury field that helped Cadillac to new sales records most every year during the Sixties. The company's gradual transition from glittery excess to stately elegance seemed to anticipate the luxury buyer's tastes.

The cleanup began right away with a face-lifted 1960 line bearing simpler grilles and lower-profile fins. Offerings stayed the same, as did prices, ranging from $4892 for the Series 62 hardtop coupe to $9748 for the big Series 75 limousine. Mechanical specifications also stood pat. Standard horsepower remained 325, with 345 reserved for the Eldorado Biarritz convertible and Seville hardtop coupe, both courtesy of the 390-cubic-inch V-8 introduced for 1959.

Series 62 remained the volume leader, but the mid-range DeVille, another '59 development, was coming on strong. As before, both series had no pillared sedans but did offer two hardtop four-doors: a flat-top "Vista roof" job with radically wrapped backlight, and a more conventional "six-window" style with rear-door ventpanes. Returning for its final year was the Eldorado Brougham hardtop sedan, unchanged from '59 as an evolution of the intriguing but unsuccessful 1957-58 model. Still priced at a towering $13,075 but now boasting bodywork by Pininfarina of Italy, it sold only 101 copies in 1960 -- less than even the original Brougham's 704. Worse, they were built nowhere near as well. Overall, Cadillac remained 10th in model-year production for 1960 (a position held since '58) and would remain there through 1964, though that was still impressive for a luxury make.

Carrying another new GM C-body, the '61s were the cleanest Cadillac’s in years. They were also the first influenced by William L. Mitchell, who had been installed as GM design chief in 1958. Mitchell favored a more chiseled look than his predecessor, Harley Earl, and wasn't as enamored of chrome. Grilles became a prominent grid, while fins were trimmed again. The Eldorado Seville disappeared with the Brougham, while the Biarritz was down-graded to the standard 325-bhp V-8.

HISTORICAL

Total model year output for all 1961 cars amounted to 138,379 units.
A limited slip differential was optional at $53.70.

1960 Cadillac Fleetwood

The Fleetwood Sixty Special occupied a still-higher rung on the Cadillac ladder. This one-model series listed at $6233, and for 1959 it rode the standard 130-inch wheelbase, rather than the exclusive 133-inch stretch it had enjoyed in 1958. Although clearly intended as the most prestigious standard sedan, this six-window model wore more makeup than any other '59 Caddy. Starting on the rear door and sweeping almost to the rear bumper was a huge fake air scoop, outlined by chrome strips that shot forward to the front of the car. The taillight pods on the fins were slathered in chrome, and the hubcaps were the sportier version used on the Eldorados. The Fleetwood name stood out in block letters on the lower front fenders; three rows of jewels sparkled in the rear grille.

The 1960 Fleetwood emerged as a cleaned-up version of the '59, or as Walter McCall noted, it "retrieved some of its traditional dignity." Gone were the fake air scoops and the chrome that surrounded them; gone too were the chrome taillight pods. The fins, although only one inch lower, looked far more elegant without the bullet taillights. A chrome molding now ran quietly along the bottom edge of the car from behind the front wheel to the end of the tail light. Nine small vertical louvers graced the extreme rear fenders and small cloisonne Fleetwood insignia replaced the larger lettering of the '59. The top sported a leather-grained fabric that matched the body color and the interior combined wool broadcloth and leather.

Dave Hols points out that although most people think the 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix was the first GM car to substantially slash the use of chrome trim, this was not the case. The 1960 Fleetwood was really the first "de-chromed" GM car, and particularly significant because of the Fleetwood's high place in the model lineup.

The big Fleetwood Seventy-Five nine-passenger sedans and limousines for 1959 and 1960 listed at $9533 and $9748. They rode a stretched 149.8-inch wheelbase, stood two inches lower than a Rolls-Royce, but did not look as cumbersome even though overall length measured a whopping 244.8 inches. The Fleetwoods featured separate air conditioning and heating for the front and rear areas, auxiliary seats in the rear, and power door locks. The chauffeur's compartment was finished in gray or fawn leather to match the rear compartment, or could be ordered in basic black. The rear passenger area exuded luxury with sedate gray or fawn Bedford cords and wool broadcloths. The doors had lights along the bottom to light up the ground when opened. The limousine window treatment was deliberately more conservative than other models in the Cadillac lineup, with squarer lines and a smaller back window for privacy.

SERIES SIXTY SPECIAL FLEETWOOD

The Sixty Special Fleetwood sedan had the same standard equipment as the 6200 convertible and all 6300 models. This car was outwardly distinguished by a Fleetwood script on the rear deck, nine vertical bright metal louvers on rear fenders, vertical crest medallions on front fenders and wide full-length bright metal sill underscores which extended to the fender skirts and lower rear quarter panels.

1960 Cadillac Eldorado

1960 Cadillac Eldorado Cadillac tempered its outlandish fins for 1960, the year that marked the division's last use of triple two-barrel carburetion as standard Eldorado issue. For the remaining six years of its production life the rear-drive Eldo would have the same engine specs as its less exotic linemates. As mentioned, air suspension was also abandoned after 1960. So was the Eldorado hardtop. With lower sales than the Biarritz for the second year in a row and with two other hardtop coupes in the Cadillac line, the Seville had by now become superfluous. So too had the Brougham, and Cadillac rang down the curtain on its super-luxury flagship after building only 200 of the 1959-60 models.

More exclusive -- and more expensive -- were the two-door Eldorado’s: Seville coupe and Biarritz convertible. They came with a 345-horsepower version of the 390-cid V-8 that guzzled gas through three two-barrel carburetors. The Eldorado’s lost some of their exclusivity in 1959 because they no longer sported unique rear end designs and they switched from the "Sabre Spoke" wheels of '58 to stamped steel wheels. Nonetheless, Eldorado’s sported deep-dish wheel covers (sharing them with the Sixty Special) and fender skirts were standard, as they were for all 1959-60 Cadillac’s. Air suspension was another standard item (it disappeared after 1960 because of chronic leakage problems). Also included were cruise control, Autronic Eye headlight dimmer, radio and electric antenna, power door locks, fog lamps, and three rows of jewels in the rear.

1960 Cadillac

Distinguishing characteristics of the Seville were a color-keyed roof covering of weather resistant fabric and unique chrome trim that started at the vent window and followed the body contour to the rear bumper, then proceeded down and around, following the rocker panel to the front wheel. The Seville was dropped after 1960, although the name would be reincarnated 15 years later on a smaller Cadillac. The Biarritz sold for the same $7401 list price as the Seville. Its top was hidden by a metal cover when down, giving the car a smooth, uninterrupted profile that flowed from front to rear, ending in a dramatic upsweep of the towering fins.

1960 Cadillac Eldorado

Standing at the top of Cadillac's 13-model lineup was the second-generation Eldorado Brougham, which debuted at the Chicago Auto Show in January 1959. This limited-production model sold for a lofty $13,075. It did without the shark fins, twin taillights, and wraparound windshield of lesser '59 Cadillac’s, and none of its exterior panels interchanged with the regular models. In fact, the Brougham wasn't even made in America. Pinin Farina built the bodies in Turin, Italy, for installation on stock chassis shipped from Detroit. It's grille differed in that it didn't incorporate the divider bar, and its fins and taillights predicted the styling of the '60 Cadillac. Even the windshield and roofline were unique, previewing the look of the '61 Caddy. Styling was clean, although not as distinctive as that of the earlier Brougham. The Brougham didn't contain as much gadgetry, either, although the rear quarter windows retracted a bit for easier entry and exit when the rear doors were opened.

1960 Cadillac Narrow-band whitewalls were found only on the Brougham for 1959 and '60. In 1960, the Pininfarina (the name was legally changed in 1960) cloisonne emblems moved from the side of the front fenders to the back of the rear fenders, hubcaps were changed to a smaller disc design, and the creaseline rode lower on the body sides (seen again on the '62 models). The Broughams were easily the rarest of the 1959 and '60 Cadillac’s, with only 99 and 101 built.

ELDORADO/BROUGHAM SUB-SERIES 6400/6900

External variations on the Seville two-door hardtop and Biarritz convertible coupe took the form of bright body sill highlights that extended across the lower edge of fender skirts and Eldorado lettering on the sides of front fenders just behind the headlamps. Standard equipment included:

power brakes
power steering
automatic transmission
dual backup lamps
windshield washers and dual Speed wipers
wheel discs
outside rear view mirror
oil filter
heater
fog lamps
Eldorado engine
remote control trunk lock
radio with antenna and rear speaker
power vent windows
Six-Way power seat
air suspension
electric door locks
license frames
five whitewall tires

A textured vinyl fabric top was offered on the Eldorado Seville and interior trim choice included cloth and leather combinations. The Brougham continued as an Italian-bodied four-door hardtop with special Brougham nameplates above the grille. It did not sport Eldorado front fender letters or body sill highlights, but had a distinctive squared-off roofline with rear ventipanes -- a prediction of 1961 styling motifs for the entire Cadallic line. A fin-like crease, or "skeg," ran from behind the front wheel opening to the rear of the car on the extreme lower body sides and there were special vertical crest medallions on the trailing edge of rear fenders. Cruise Control, a Guide-Matic headlight dimmer, air conditioning and E-Z-Eye glass were regular equipment.
