Wow, I am 64 and late 70's I worked at a full service gas station, some customer about my age got a mid 60's Fleetwood 60 in black with LOW miles for nearly nothing probably due to gas prices or owner not wanting, that thing was pure CLASS, nobody could compare with Cadillac in the 50's and 60's, they had some top speed to maybe 120-125

@jim dandy Yes, indeed. Those Fleetwood Sixty Specials and Fleetwood Brougham s (all the way to the end in '96 and I mean the rear-wheel-drive version, too) were, as far as I'm concerned, Cadillac's class act!

Yes, I really appreciated the 1962 Cadillacs. I was born in 1954. My only question: was a second hand Cadillac a babe magnet or not? Or did it just depend on the individual babe? (I was interested in the Grace Kelly/Martha Hyer type.)

I have a 1961 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special and I LOVE it!! To me one of the best looking cars of the 60s era and my favorite of the 60s cars. Thanks for the upload!!

Yes, that's a nice car, but the styling of the 1962 models looked like a refined, cleaned-up version of the 1961. I had a light silvery-blue 1962 Coupe deVille back in the early 1970s, and loved it except it seemed to go through a lot of gear shifting with its Hydramatic transmission which, as I recall, had four speeds with the lowest one VERY low.

@StatesStyle In my opinion, the best-looking '62 Cadillac model was the Fleetwood Sixty Special, hands down! It's definitely my favorite. I really like that formal roof line and the 8 window styling unique to this model and, on the inside, those cherry wood veneers on the door trim panels.

@@mynamehappy As far as a '62 Cadillac in green goes, for me, it would be a Fleetwood Sixty Special (as I said in my other comment, my favorite model) in two-tone (you could order two-tone paint in any standard colors at no extra charge!) Granada Green Metallic (order code=36; dark green on body) and Sage Metallic (order code=32; light green on roof) with either Green Cameo cloth and Green leather (order code=67; similar in color value to a sage green) or special order Green leather (order code=27; $166.65 option) or the aforementioned Granada Green monotone with Fawn wool broadcloth (order code=75). You can visit gmheritagecenter.com under Vehicle Information Kits for this info. There's a wealth of information on Cadillacs (including the 1962), in particular, through the 1974 model year, any of which you can download. By the way, what you like in a Cadillac vs what I like is all good. Have a blessed evening!

My Parents bought a '62 Fleetwood in '64 or '65. I learned to drive on it. It was magnificent, black with a black interior except for the leather trimmed seats, which were white. One of the best looking Caddys ever.

If Cadillac had continued to manage their quality control like this, the Japanese auto manufacturers would have never made the inroads to the US luxury market as they have.

I prefer the 1961 with the horizontal rear dual tail lights, the design was inspired by the "jet age"- turbine wheel covers, upper tail fins, lower skegs & the round tail lights mimiciking the engine exhausts. although it didn't have the cornering lights which is a nice feature. My family had a 1961 Fleetwood 75 series Limo in the 70's with glass divider, jump seats, ice cold dual ac. It would cruise @ 90 down the highway effortlessly, what a ride, great memories!✌✈🚀

I loved the 1961.. We had a 1961 Coupe de Ville when I was a young child. I would stand on the front seat to better see over the dashboard.. No kiddie seats back then.

I wish we could reinvent the “boulevard ride” softness of years gone by with modern car’s. Why are car companies so focused on making any new generation of car’s stiffer sprung, lower riding on ever lower aspects tires? I want a safe comfortable car, not a teeth rattling kidney crushing racing car for the roads. There must now be a niche for just a few car companies to offer better riding cars with relaxed spring rates.The only company here in Europe who seems to turn in this direction is Citroën who in their face lifted Cactus C4 did soften its springs by approximately 15% in combination with more advanced dampers. I wish more companies will join them in the pursuit of increased driving comfort.

They were using a "computer " to design suspension in 1961! That is amazing, crunching a few numbers with an IBM mainframe that filled an entire room. I should ask my Apple watch to tell me more about this.

My parents had a 1962 Coupe deVille in the new color "Maize" (aka canary yellow) with matching interior. It was gorgeous. How far Cadillac has fallen. They've completely lost their identity and position in the luxury car market. Sad indeed.

I imagine that this 1962 campaign was as a result of the shocking 1961 sales figures. 1961 was the first time Lincoln had ever outsold Cadillac. Personally I love the 1961 Cadillac but it was a bit radical and the all new Continental was an extremely handsome and tasteful design that highlighted Cadillac's unwillingness to shed the tail fins that were looking pretty old-fashioned in the early years of the new decade.

Apparently there was a time when Cadillacs were built differently than other GM cars. In the 1970's and '80's they were just pimped-out Chevys. Same story with Lincolns/Fords.
