1962 Cadillac promo video, Pride in the Possession

When I was a kid, my father had a 61 Fleetwood. It was his Sunday car. Black, gray cloth interior, power everything including vent windows. It was magnificent. He also had a Muntz 4 track deck that he installed. I have never seen one since. Fond childhood memories in that car.

Never have been quite as big of a fan of the 1961-64 era Cads as the earlier versions, but I've always thought the entire 1965 "Big Car" GM line-Especially the Caddy- was a full-bore, bases loaded, bottom of the 9th Home Run. Cad could, however, make a pretty good claim to be the "Standard of the World" in '62, & not be laughed at. In England, what did Rolls have to offer ? A fusty,obsolete car that was prolly the best 1939 Packard on the road... The Silver Shadow was still almost 4 years off...In Germany, BMW didn't really have anything to offer, & the world beating 600 Grosser Mercedes was still a year off... And even then, at nearly $20K a copy, you could buy almost 4 Cads for the price of one 600...Domestically, Lincoln was in the 2nd year of their sensational looking Continental, but Cad still sold nearly 3 cars for every Lincoln...Imperial ? Oh, please...In '62, they were still fixated on Virgil Exner's anal-rententive fin-mad monsters...

Always liked the beautiful 63-64 caddy’s as well as the full size gm .they were toned done from the late 50s ‘! Elegant style bullet proof 390 and 429 v/8s with 4 speed hydromatics ! Also liked 69-70 and 71-72 with the 472& 500 cid v8 and even the later the 77-79 downsized were bueatiful cars that rode well and powered by the bullet proof 425 cid v8 ! Then the 80s hit yikes , what a disaster !
