Cadillac's were restyled and re-engineered for 1961. The new grille slanted back towards both the bumper and the hood lip along the horizontal plane and sat between quad headlamps. New forward slanting front roof pillars with non-wraparound windshield glass was seen. The revised rear window treatment had crisp, angular lines with thin pillars on some models and heavier, semi-blind-quarter roof posts on others. 1962 was the 60th anniversary year for Cadillac. The automaker produced 160,840 Cadillac's during the year, all equipped with the new dual-safety braking system and 59 percent sold with air conditioning. With GM settling into a styling groove, Cadillac's '62s were basically toned-down '61s. Highlights included still-lower fins, front-fender cornering lights as a new option, a somewhat tamer grille, and backup/turn/stop lights combined behind a single white lens. Four-window sedans received more orthodox rooflines but still included a pair of short-deck variants, which were now named Series 62 Town Sedan and DeVille Park Avenue. A new braking system with dual master cylinder and separate front and rear hydraulic lines appeared, a portent of the future.This particular car is an original west coast car coming from the state of Oregon a few years ago. This is a highly optioned car, as you can see by the data plate, which comes with all the power options as well as A/C, Autronic Eye, power locks, windows and 6-way seat.The paint is in very good overall condition and has been resprayed sometime in the past.
