1960 CADILLAC 6200

SERIES 6200

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.
