Cadillac Sixty Special.
Last Updated:
The “Sixty Special” was one of these very old, super luxurious Cadillac models. I guess these days that’s what the new Celetiq is. Starting at $340,000, it definitely qualifies as an extremely expensive Cadillac.
However, that price puts it right against Rolls-Royce and above most Bentley models. And I think it’s a big mistake.
Over the past decade, the Sixty Special was based on other Cadillac models like the Sedan Deville. And didn’t have its own specific design. A new model could.
The last generation available was based on the late 80s and 90s Cadillac Fleetwood. Itself a fancy version of the regular FWD Cadillac Deville produced at the time. A fine car, but not one of Cadillac’s best efforts. That model was mostly called the “Fleetwood Sixty Special”. Which is quite a mouthful. The Fleetwood name was dropped altogether in 1993.
GM’s Ultium platform is very modular and can be used on various models, that it a perfect fit for a high-end Cadillac Sedan. One that would be priced at around $100,000. Competing against Mercedes, BMW as well and Lucid. The Ultium powertrain is smoother and quieter than anything Cadillac offered over the years and can produce more power as well.
It doesn’t need to cost over $300,000 or look as weird as the Celestiq to be a true, top-of-the-line Cadillac…
The Celestiq should’ve been a Sedan. Not a Big Station Wagon
It’s pictured in front of a 1950’s motel, and looks like a hearse. RR must be giddy right now.
The Future Car-2025 Escala Luxury Sedan would have out sold a Rolls Royce, the station wagon model was a stupid ass choice.
Yes this sixty special and the Escala would have been supreme duo. Hard to beat, however Cadillac will continue to show these cars and not build them. A travesty.
I had-1962 60 special. It was the best
Car I
Ever had.I had 5 new ones if I had that
Kind of money I’m would buy one.

Great styling and will very sell unlike the ugly $340,000+ Hearse Mobile. Also initial demand will exceed supply. Thanks to Mary Buick Envision Made in China-Barra, this great vehicle will never make it to production.

Beautiful car!
CT6 is what competes with any car now and future
It was all downhill after the 1967 Eldorado.
I hated when car manufacturers started to use only numbers and cryptic letter combos to ID their products. Who can remember who uses the “Q” or the “X”? But Caddy throws them all out there: ATS, CTS, CT6, XTS! I hope someone comes up with the moniker “Fleetwood Brougham d’Elegance’…
I owned a 92 Fleetwood Sixty Special with the ultra package/22-way seats and it was smooth, very comfortable and long. I regret selling it.
Bring back the Sixty Special with 32-way seats ventilated and massaging this time around.
I got my 1st one when I was 19 I don’t really care for the Caddy Ford makes the best suspension I have and I have had the best Town car Thunderbird several of them love that ride.
I let my 2020 CT6 go do to lease buy out to high. Purchased my 2921 CT5 (wife’s car) when my lease was up. Then finding out that production stop on the CT6 to build in that plant the EV took me by surprise no more CT6 Cadillacs could be ordered another mistake by GM we lost what I think was their best luxury car. But all is not lost their building them in China from 2021 to this day year after year. The 64,000 question is.
They’re not being delivered to the United states, but being delivered to every other country.
I Cadillac can’t see why Cadillac can’t bring back our CT6 to the States as thay did with the Cadillac Allante?
