The body is beautiful and very straight with excellent fit on the doors, hood, trunk and body panels.
When you look down the sides of this incredible car it is arrow-straight...just as it left the factory in 1960!
The paint has a great deal of "DEPTH" to it and an incredible brilliant finish. Some describe their cars as looking great from 20 feet… NOT SO with this gorgeous Cadillac. It looks great up close and from any angle and in any light!
I was privileged to work for many years at the amazing Cars Of Dreams Museum in Palm Beach and one of the fantastic cars that were sold at the auction at the Museum almost two years ago was a magnificent 1960 Red Cadillac Eldorado Convertible....final selling price was more than $250,000!
Although not an Eldorado model but the slightly less expensive Series 62, this car is just as stunning!
This is the nicest 1960 Series 62 Cadillac Convertible I have ever seen...and I have been in this fabulous hobby since 1958 when I bought my 1st vintage car.
The chrome and pot metal look terrific. One of the things that bother me is ugly faded chrome or pot metal that is"pitted" or dull….anyone would be pleased to show up driving this magnificent and elegant Cadillac Convertible.
This car is so spectacular that as good as the photos are...it looks EVEN better in person so your inspection is urged and is most welcome. This is guaranteed to be a NO DISAPPOINTMENT magnificent Cadillac Convertible.
And as good as it looks....it drives in better!!!!
The engine compartment is beautifully and correctly detailed as is the car's beautiful interior and mammoth sized trunk area.
Please DO NOT e-mail me requesting what the reserve price is...instead, call me at 954-873-6495 and I will be happy to share that information with you.
This 1960 Cadillac is equipped with ice cold factory cold Air-conditioning as well as all the Cadillac power features…..and just to point out a few of the Cadillac amenities------------
Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows, Power Top, Working AM/FM Signal-Seeking Radio, Power seat, Cadillac Floor Mats, Fender skirts and much more.
Added extras on convertibles included power windows and Two-Way power seats. Technical highlights were comprised of
It was a styling trend of the late 1950's to make the tail fins on full sized American cars larger and larger and larger!
The fins peaked in 1959 with the 1959 Cadillac…also the year that Harley Earl retired from GM. Harley
had hired a young Bill Mitchell at the age of 24 and shortly thereafter Harley made him chief designer at Cadillac.
Bill's 1st design was the Sixty Special 1938 Cadillac...followed by the spectacular 1941 Cadillac. Bill played a key role in the GM design studio and it was Bill Mitchell who redesigned the 1960 Cadillac!
The 1960 Cadillacs had smoother, more restrained styling. 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 and front fender mounted directional indicator lamps
Here are the Engine Specifications:
In 1960 the fins on the Cadillac were shorten by 6-8 inches and in my opinion….there were several reasons for this styling change.(Besides the design influence of Bill Mitchell) The fins were so long on the 1959 model Cadillacs that several fatal and serious accidents occurred when people were backed into and impaled with these monster-sized fins or were involved in car accidents when they accidentally rear-ended a 59 Cadillac with their car. Also on very windy days and at speeds of 70 mph and above, the rear end of the 59 Cadillacs would be subject to rear-end drifting…I know because I experienced this back in 1959 while drive a 59 Caddy at 70 mph on a very windy spring day..I could feel the wind pushing the giant rear fins...thus making the car slightly unstable and subject to drifting lanes
In 1960 I was fortunate to be invited on a long motor trip with a friend of mine and his Dad who had just purchased a brand new 1960 Caddy Convertible at Baum Cadillac in Pittsburgh. WHAT A CAR! …….Ever since that trip of almost 3000 miles I have been in love with the styling, comfort and drivability of the 1960 Cadillac Convertible.
Available options for 1960 Cadillac Convertibles
The 1960 Cadillac was rated as the best buy in the LUXURY car field.......
I realize that a 1959 Cadillac Convertible, whether it be a Series 62 like this car…or an Eldorado..usually command a higher price today than a comparable 1960 model. Of course condition is extremely important. I have seen a 1959 Eldorado Convertible sell for almost $270,,000 but when Cars Of Dreams Museum sold it's beautiful 1960 Red Eldorado Convertible at auction almost 2 years ago in North Palm Beach,Florida, it brought OVER $250,000!!!! You can own this fabulous Cadillac Convertible for a fraction of that amount!!! Collectors have begun to realize what incredible cars the 1960 models Cadillacs truly are and their value is continuing to rise…as is their demand. Cars like this are hard to find and this absolutely stunning Cadillac Convertible is going to sell quickly....so if your serious...pick up the phone and call me at 954-873-6495 and I will be happy to discuss the lowest possible price and answer any other questions you might have....including a possible trade-in.

Even in this very tough economic times where real estate has tumbled down a very steep hill....vintage cars...the real ones...the pedigreed cars in great restored or near perfect original condition continue to hold value and in most instances appreciate.
Why not have fun with your money? ...enjoy your life and know that when you wake up in the morning your dollars are still safe in your garage or warehouse and haven't evaporated into thin air
I was privileged to be close friends with the late Jerry J. Moore from Houston, Texas. Jerry was a Real Estate Mogul and one of the largest owners of shopping centers in the world.
Jerry was also an avid car collector and amassed one of the largest and best vintage car collections on the Planet.
If Jerry told me once....he probably told me over 100 times......"In case you forgot...remember..."You will never see a Brinks truck at a funeral service or a Hearse with a luggage rack at a cemetery!"
Car collecting is a family thing...everyone around the world admires and loves these great vintage and collectible cars.
We have sold cars from Australia to Alaska...From China to Saudi Arabia.....From Manhattan to Moscow....and the hobby keeps growing & expanding all the time.
Collector car insurance is dirt cheap...about $250-$300 a year for a $75,000-$1000,000 car...full coverage!
You do have to keep it in a garage and limit your miles to 2500 a year...other wise you might have to pay a little more.
I always try and look for major flaws and mention them and try to point them out when I see something.
Your welcome to come in person to inspect this car for yourself...hire anyone you like to come on your behalf....bring your magnets and magnifying glasses........see if you can find anything negative worth mentioning...We tried and couldn't find anything other than we stated in the description...maybe you can?
We have tried diligently to find any MAJOR flaws in the paint, body, interior, chrome, glass, etc. and have not been able to locate anything that we could list as a MAJOR problem in the description.
I truly believe there is no such thing as a "PERFECT" old car and we ARE NOT making such a claim.....but this car comes very, very close to perfection!
We are urging you to PLEASE come and inspect the car in person, drive it or to hire an expert inspector to do this for you. AGAIN....Please do not ask us to recommend anyone....we want you to select & hire your own inspector.
If you wish to schedule an appointment to see this car, please call me at 954-873-6495....We would appreciate at least a one day notice.
This car is owned free and clear by the dealership and all payments will be made directly to the dealership. After you speak with us on the phone, it is possible to have a scanned or faxed copy sent directly to you.
We know this is a Platinum investment collectable car....it is foolish to invest your hard earned dollars in clones and fakes....this is a car that you can still drive & enjoy and will increase in value...not decrease in value.....and if you chose to...you could drive it every day.
Please don't buy a Museum quality car like this unless you have a garage to store it inside. We do not think this car has ever been left outside.
You can look at this car in bright outdoor sunlight or indoors under halogen or florescent light...it still looks flawless...but don't take our word...PLEASE...come and check it out yourself.

For Nostalgia Buffs...just for fun
You've found the place for car buffs, car lovers, car aficionados, for guys and girls.... from 8 to 88 and even beyond. If your among the nearly 200 million Americans who still have an ongoing love affair with the automobile... WELCOME... and should you happen to be from a country other than the U.S........ your equally welcome! Little did Daimler realize just how much his tiny one cylinder motorized bike was going to change the world when invented in the mid 1890's. This motorized bicycle was refined and eventually became the 1st automobile. (one cylinder) and his company became known as Daimler/Benz. (Mercedes Benz) (DaimlerChrysler today)
As the 1960's drew to a close, cars began to change. New EPA requirements and increasing prices for gasoline hasten the demise of the "Muscle" car. The horsepower race came to an end by the early 1970's.... at least for a while.
So what exactly is it that makes us lust after those "Cars From Our Dreams?" Simple.... it's the memories, the happy times..... those great times from our youth and the freedom to go where we wanted...when we wanted... with whom we wanted...and in a car that was a ball to drive. It's where Johnny took Mary on their 1st date! It's so easy to spot a "Car From Our Dreams" on our highways today... just look for someone motoring down the street with a huge grin on their face. Today our hobby is pursued by guys and girls alike...it's just not a "guy" thing anymore and I think that's great. There are enough great memories to go around for everyone. How big is the car-collecting hobby? No one really knows for sure. However, there are several million cars that have been preserved or restored and our hobby is expanding... not shrinking.... and with sixty million "Baby Boomers" with disposal income and spendable dollars out there... the prices will continue to escalate. The nice thing about our hobby today, as opposed to the wild speculation on vintage cars that occurred throughout the 1980's is that these cars are being driven and enjoyed... not just been stored away in warehouses and garages. So celebrate with us as we embark on the next fifty years and if you feel compelled to exclaim "Hubba Hubba" or a loud "Hooray" as we reminisce with these "Cars From Yesterday and Cars Of Our Dreams"... it's perfectly acceptable!

Cadillac XT5 confirmed for 2016 as next-gen SRX
Wed, Jun 10 2015Cadillac's entire lineup of 2016 models gets a major infotainment upgrade this summer with improvements to CUE and integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There's one major exception for now, though. The SRX retains the old system until its all-new generation, called the XT5, debuts early in the 2016 calendar year. "When we transition into all new product lines, we will evolve the naming convention to suit the new classification we have announced. So SRX becomes XT5 next year," company spokesman David Caldwell said in an email to Autoblog. Earlier spy shots and rumors suggest the XT5 might be offered with a turbocharged four-cylinder and naturally aspirated six-cylinder engines, plus a nine-speed automatic transmission. For the rest of Cadillac's models, CarPlay arrives with the launch of the 2016 vehicles, and Android Auto joins later. Using either of them requires a connection via USB, and they add a new projection icon on the CUE screen. Once activated, both systems integrate with driver's phone and incorporate features like navigation, music, and contacts. They can also accept voice commands. Even for those that don't want to hook up a smartphone, CUE should work better thanks to a more powerful processor. Start-up times for the infotainment system are expected to be faster, and Cadillac claims that it's also more responsive for voice recognition, navigation searches, and media. The navigation interface is simplified, as well. The Escalade, CTS, and XTS can now be ordered with a 360-degree camera system to display on the screen. Cadillac Enhances Phone Integration for 2016 Models with Apple CarPlay, CUE Upgrades APPLE CARPLAY AVAILABLE AT LAUNCH; ANDROID AUTO COMING LATER IN MODEL YEAR 2015-06-09 NEW YORK – Cadillac's 2016 model year products will feature enhanced connectivity and control, including the addition of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the predominant new systems for in-car phone integration. These additions are part of a broader enhancement of CUE, Cadillac's user experience, with new features and a faster, streamlined operation. Apple CarPlay will debut in 2016 Cadillac models featuring CUE's 8-in multi-touch screen except the SRX Crossover, a model that will move to an all-new generation in early 2016. Android Auto is expected to be phased into 2016 production at a later date. The 2016 model year will begin this summer.

Cadillac boss says small SUV 'at least four years away'
Sat, Jan 24 2015Since Johan de Nysschen's takeover as brand president, there's a lot of buzz around Cadillac. Now, the brand's leader is now giving a little more clarity about when we might see some of the company's future vehicles, including its compact crossover. "Product development life cycles being what they are, I don't have a date in mind but I would estimate it is at least four years away," said de Nysschen about a small Cadillac CUV. The comments were made to Reuters during the Washington Auto Show. The vehicle is part of Cadillac's eight-model, $12 billion reinvention through 2020. Interestingly, de Nysschen told Autoblog at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show that he estimated the compact luxury CUV to arrive by early 2018. The boss also indicated that Cadillac would get a sedan to slot below the ATS some time in 2017, and the previously spied SRX replacement, possibly called the XT5, would debut in 2016. In the meantime, the company's flagship CT6 is being unveiled at the 2015 New York Auto Show in April. The wait for a luxury compact CUV makes Cadillac one of the later entries into the segment. The space is already filling with vehicles like the BMW X1, Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, Lexus NX and Lincoln MKC. Small crossovers in general seem to still be growing in sales. While building a better brand in the US, de Nysschen also wants to grow Cadillac in Europe in the future. He told Reuters that he wants diesel vehicles ready for 2019 to appeal to customers there. Some might even be offered in the US. News Source: ReutersImage Credit: Scott Olson / Getty Images Design/Style Cadillac Crossover Diesel Vehicles Luxury de nysschen
