1960s

The popularity boost for Cadillac in 50s was

strengthened by several developments in the 40s.

Cadillac had returned to manufacture prestige

cars exclusively after 1940; style changes like

the inclusion of tailfin styling for 1948,

overhead-valve V-8 for 1949, and hardtop

convertible body style were also incorporated.

1952 was the 50th year for Cadillac, and they

celebrated it by manufacturing 1, 300, 000 number

of Cadillac cars all over! The year also marked

Cadillac as the most powerful car in the American

automobile market. Cadillac epitomized its design

techniques and engineering in the year 1959-it is

believed that no single automotive design can

outclass the 1959 Cadillac design. It had almost

everything: Large tailfins, twin bullet tail

-lamps, power brakes, power steering, automatic

transmission, and dual backup lamps, etc.-a

perfect combination of elegance and engineering

mastery!

The 1960s were the start for an impressive style

-Cadillac gained more grace and elegance, and some

engineering advances were also introduced. The

automobile advancements were further introduced

in almost all the models of 60s, and in 1965,

Cadillac produced nearly 200,000 cars. 1966

marked the best sales year of Cadillac, breaching

the 200,000 mark by 5,001 cars. 1967 saw the

launching of Cadillac Eldorado-the finest model

of the decade!

Mass manufacturing had been a salient feature of

Cadillac cars, and this amply describes their

popularity among the American crowd. It is

utterly impossible to think America of 50s and

60s without the sound and glitter of Cadillac

cars making their movement on roads!
