1937 Cadillac model 60 sedan
The Series 60 (new last year) added a new Convertible Sedan
body style. Throughout the line there were a few body changes including:
- Eggcrate grill and hood louvers
- Higher fenders with lengthwise crease along the top
- Set of three horizontal bars each side of grill
- Bumpers carrying the Cadillac emblem
- Swinging rear quarter windows
- All steel body construction
Series 60 shared many features with the LaSalle, but used the
5.678 Liter V-8 engine. A Series 60
Commercial Chassis with 4074mm wheelbase was
offered.
The new Series 37-65 was offered in only one body style--a five passenger Touring
Sedan built by Fisher on the 3327mm wheelbase used
on Series 70 cars.
This car was longer and heavier than the Series 60 at a price below that of the
Fleetwood bodies cars.

doors and rear quarter window
- New fenders and bumpers
- Headlights rigidly attached (adjusted by moving reflector)
- Wheel discs incorporated a hub cap

that used on Fisher bodied cars.

Cadillacs for 1937.

plus eight passenger versions of four Fleetwood body styles.
- The eighth passenger was seated with two others on the auxiliary seats.
