390-cid, 345-hp, V-8 engine with tri-carburetor setup, column shift Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, shocks and coil spring independent suspension via pneumatic airbags and four-wheel power assisted drum brakes. Wheelbase: 129.5-inches

For its 1960 models, Cadillac significantly refined their approach, shrinking the exaggerated fins from the previous year, reducing the egregious use of chrome trim, and in many other ways, creating an infinitely more elegant statement. The full complement of power accessories was retained, however, so many aficionados today consider the 1960 Cadillac as the ultimate iteration. GM’s Executive Director of Styling from that period, Dave Holls, once remarked, “I finally got it right with the 1960 Cadillac. I compare the 1959 model to actress Sophie Tucker, but the ’60 Cadillac is pure Grace Kelly.”

The example offered here is finished in black with a black leather interior and white power-operated convertible top. It is well equipped with air conditioning, autronic eye, AM radio; power windows, seat, steering and brakes. The engine bay is clean, the chrome and brightwork are in good condition but show some minor blemishes, and the panel fit is very nice. The original paint can be found on the underside of the hood and the body appears to be very straight, as such this example remains in nice condition and would make a great car for cruising with the entire family.
