053 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special (1964) YHH 503 B by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Cadillac Sixty Special (8th Gen) (1961-64) Engine 429cu in (7030cc) OHV V8 Registration Number YHH 503 B (Carlisle) CADILLAC ALBUM www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/albums/72157623638148297/ Designed by Bill Mitchell the 8th generation Sixty Special received all-new sheet metal, with a crisp, limousine-like formal roofline and a mildly shorter 129.5 in wheelbase. With the cancellation of the four-door Eldorado Brougham at the end of 1960, the 1961 Sixty Special now became the sedan companion to the Eldorado convertible For 1962, the styling remained much the same as 1961 A revised grill up front, and a new trim panel below the rear deck lid rounded out the subtle changes. 1963 had all-new styling with a new mechanically streamlined 390 cu. in. engine producing the same 325 hp of the previous generation of OHV Cadillac V8. Sixty Special shared its lack of body-side trim with Eldorado The formerly standard vinyl top had now become a $125 option on Sixty-Special. Price was down to $6,300, and sales were up Other than a slightly revamped grille and rear bumper, 1964 Sixty Special saw few exterior changes. The Cadillac wreath and crest ornament was moved to take the place of the C-pillar mounted louvers. The Sixty Special (and companion Eldorado convertible) featured almost no side trim, except for a wide rocker-sill moulding which ran from the rear-edge of the front fender wheel well to the rear of the car. Engine displacement was enlarged to 429 cu in (7.03 L), and the venerable Hydra-Matic transmission, first introduced in the 1940 model year, was replaced with the new Turbo-Hydromatic automatic transmission. The cost was back up to the 1962 price of $6,366, and sales were up to 14,500 units. Diolch am 97,173,718 o olygfeydd anhygoel, mae pob un yn cael ei werthfawrogi'n fawr.
