1960 CADILLAC 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

• 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.
