1950 CADILLAC
SERIES 60 SPECIAL FLEETWOOD

Eight vertical chrome louvers on the rear fenders characterized the Series 60S sedan. It was built on the same platform as the previous year, but had all the new styling features. It looked lower than the 62 because of the extra length and had a different rear deck contour. Hydra-Matic drive and power windows were standard.
