In the wake of the Great Depression Cadillac surged forward into the modern era with their new models such as this Cadillac Series 60 Special with Body by Fleetwood.
Harley Earl had appointed Bill Mitchell as the chief designer for the new Cadillac design studio back in 1936 with a focus on a new wave of styling changes to create a far more modern and progressive new model. When first introduced in 1938, the Series 60 Special was designed for the owner-driver accustomed to a high level of status and luxury while preferring not to employ a chauffeur.
By 1940, every Series 60 model would be Fleetwood marketed, which included higher-end molding, trim, and upholstery. Meanwhile, 1941 became a watershed model-year for Cadillac as every model received numerous updatesfor example, the front fenders on the 60 Special now extended into the doorswith completely revised front-end styling and features which were to be used by Cadillac on future models for years to come.
The Series 60 came equipped with an automatic heating system, radio and aerial, full wheel discs, whitewall tires, and the 3.36:1 economy rear axle. Refinished in its original 'El Centro Green Metallic' and retaining some of its original upholstery complemented
