- Not to play favorites, but the 1961 Cadillac is by far one of my favorites! From its space age styling to its massive size and power, its easy to love this car! And this car in particular, spotted at the 2023 Ironstone Concour event, was a stunner in original paint and outstanding condition. Check it out with me today In the Garage!
More about the '61:
Cadillac was 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 dual headlamps. New forward slanting front pillars with non-wraparound windshield glass were seen. The revised backlight treatment had crisp angular lines with thin pillars on some models and heavier semi-blind quarter roof posts on others. De Ville models featured front series designation scripts and lower body "skeg fins" trimmed with a thin, three-quarter-length spear molding running from behind the front wheel opening to the rear of the car. Standard equipment included power brakes, power steering, automatic transmission, dual backup lights, windshield washer, dual speed wipers, wheel discs, plain fender skirts, outside rearview mirror, vanity mirror, oil filter, power windows and 2-way power seats. Rubberized front and rear coil springs replaced the trouble prone air suspension system. Four-barrel induction systems were now the sole power choice and dual exhausts were no longer available. A new 7 in (18 cm) shorter rear-decked four-door Town Sedan hardtop appeared mid-season. - Авто та транспорт
'61 was an excellent year for all automobiles... just look at that colour. This represents a time when our society was at its height.
It;s called 'perfumed cotton' and I'll never forget it. Dad had one.
I remember drawing sketch after sketch of the Caddies of those years as early as FIRST GRaDE, seeing them passing my classroom window and dreaming. That would be 1962-63. Thanks for recharging my memories. 😊
I love the rooflines on the 61 coupes
For my money it's not just the rooflines (on *all* the GM "C's, and "B" coupes!) but that amazing A-pillar! And contrary to what some Mean Girls, uh, dogs, say, the 1961 GMs are dazzling!
I liked the one in the movie Weird Science.
Goregous automobile!
Same car was in My Cousin Vinnie
1961 beats 1959 and 1960 in just about every American made car across the board.
I have a 61 looking for a buyer

I see myself driving it with a hot blonde in it.
Bet it s a gas hog!
1961 was just the worst of the 59-76 big caddy's! Horizontal tail lights and non-descript front grill makes this look like a GMC generic car. 1963 was so much better!
In your opinion not mine!!! I think it's one of the best styled Caddy's in those years!!!
