What could have been: 1960 4 door Cadillac Convertible

Apparently, they were really thinking about it.
Going so far as to actually building at least one fully functioning model.

I guess something didn’t work after all.
It wasn’t meant to be…..

  1. I've always thought it was interesting that Cadillac and Lincoln split the convertible market during that era – Cadillac only built 2 doors and Lincoln only built 4 doors. Almost like a mob family.

  5. Would have been a great automobile. Wonder if rumors of this are what prompted Ford to build the 4-dr Lincoln 'vert.

    Kinda pathetic that we can't seem to build a Stylish, roomy, smooth-riding 4-dr 'vert today –with all of todays technology! So sad.

    BS. It's call giving up.

    Succuming to the dictateS of Big Brother.

    If you can make a frail minicar at all save you can CERTAINLY do it 10 times better with a REAL CAR.

    Of course you'ld have to get back to 3% unemployment and raise the standard of living to 1960's-1980's USA standards for the average Joe to be able to afford a high-style ride once again!

  9. Have you seen Michael Moores documentary on Capitalism?
    Explains alot.

    Explains a lot about Michael's psychotic episodes in hotel bars; and why he lives like an Imperialist Pig–but not much about the rest of the real world.

    My thought for the day on Mikey:
    How many Michael Moores can you fit in the trunk of a '60 DeVille?

  11. Apparently, they did (or at least somebody) did build several per year from 1959 through 1970. There are pictures on internet. I had the chance to buy a 1966 4 door DeVille……..regret not buying it to this day.
