The 1960 Cadillacs exhibited a smoother, more subtle rendition of the styling
theme introduced one year earlier. General changes included
- a full width grille
- the elimination of pointed front bumper guards
- increased restraint in the application of chrome trim
- lower tailfins with oval shaped nacelles, which enclosed stacked
taillights and backup lamps
- front fenders mounted directional indicator lamps
Series 6200 base models had
- plain fender skirts
- thin three-quarter length body side spears
- Cadillac crests and lettering on short horizontal front fender bars
mounted just behind the headlights.
Four-window (4W) and six-window (6W) sedans were offered again. The former
featured a one-piece wraparound backlight (rear window) and flat-top roof, while
the latter had a sloping rear window and roofline. Standard equipment on 6200
models included
- power brakes
- power steering
- automatic transmission
- dual backup lamps
- windshield washers and dual Speed wipers
- wheel discs
- outside rear view mirror
- oil filter.
Added extras on convertibles included power windows and Two-Way power seats.
Technical highlights were comprised of
- finned rear drums
- a vacuum operated automatic-releasing floor controlled parking brake
- tubular X-frame construction.
Interiors were done in
- fawn
- blue or gray Cortina cord or turquoise
- green
- Persian Sand
- or black Caspian cloth with Florentine vinyl bolsters.
Convertibles were upholstered in Florentine leather single or two-tone
combinations or monochromatic Cardiff leather combinations.
- Motor serial numbers took the same form used in 1959 with the first pair
of symbols changed to "60" to indicate 1960 model year.
- The applicable codes were stamped in the same locations on cars.
