My absolutely favorite Cadillac. A neighbor had one of these in green, 4 door hardtop. Walked by it on my way to school everyday and fell in love with it.
GM phased in the Delcotron Generator (which actually was an alternator) during the 1962 model year. Generally, GM 1962 cars with air conditioning got the Delcotron and non-AC vehicles received a generator. By 1963 pretty much all GM cars had the Delcotron.
1960 is one of my all time favorite Cadillacs. I owned a 1959 Coupe deVille in 1966 and concerning interior differences between '59 and '60, I do like the upper portion of the styling of the door panels of the '59 better. Also the '59 had a series of horizontal white lines on each side of the speedometer that I really liked. However, the '60 is a much cleaner and more unified design. If only Cadillac could make cars this beautiful today. It's absolutely no suprise at how fast this car sold. Thanks for sharing it with us.
This was the first year Cadillac offered a first in the car industry. When you put the car into gear the handbrake automatically released and would not lock as long as the car was in gear allowing the driver to use it as an auxiliary brake. Once the car was out of gear you just stepped down to lock the hand brake .
I do like the refined looks of the '60, but, the '59 does have it's own unique appeal. I really like all the Cadillacs from '48 forward through the '66 model year the beat. To me some have that "hefty" look and others the sleeker look, but all have that solid and cushy comfortable look, that is unmistakeably Cadillac.😎
My parents and I drove a 60 Caddy convert from Chicago to California thru one of those "drive away" programs, where a car owner wants his car moved from one place to another but doesn't want to drive it himself. They paid us to drive the car! I was only about 6 when this happened, so I don't remember a lot. My mom really thought it was cool to drive a Caddy, tho! The one you looked at did have modern headlights, and I think that the wire wheels could have been an option back then, Alternators on GM cars appeared in 63 and Ford gt them in 65. WYR= I'm pretty sure not one of those cars would fit in my garage, but I'd take the 60 Lincoln and the 58 Caddy. Great video, Jay!
I had a 1960 two door hard top. Most people don't know you could get high performance up grades, mine had three two barrel carburetors. The speedometer was marked 130 MPH. Top left of the dash was a know for the cruise control, and a pull lever for the rear airbags to lift the rear. I saw a 1958 with a stock crossram intake.
This didn't use the original HydraMatic, it used the 2nd generation 315 HydraMatic. This new transmission was introduced in 1956 and remained in production into the 1964 model year. Still a 4-speed, it added a Park position. Internally, it was very different from the original HydraMatic. It added an internal fluid coupling in addition to the conventional external fluid coupling. It used the internal fluid coupling to soften the shifts by draining and refilling, turning it into a slushbox. The original HydraMatic was in production into 1962 and was used in light GM trucks. After that, GM sold the tooling to Rolls-Royce which it used in it's cars until around 1968. Power-wise, I'd have to go with the Imperial or Lincoln. Both had larger more powerful engines plus 3-speed automatics using a torque converter. They could leave the Caddy in the dust. But the coolest car would be the 1959 Caddy, so I'd have to choose that one too.
I know I screwed up the moment that I said it it wasn't the original hydra matic but the four speed cast iron case I need to do an episode on that transmission. There's so many versions of it
@@What.its.like. Technically, only 3 versions. 1). Single Drive, 2). Dual Drive, 3). 315, also known as Jetaway. The original Hydramatic received some tweaks along the way through 1955. As the original HydraMatic plant burned down in 1953, you might consider a pre and post 1953 models. HydraMatic production resumed at a new Willow Run plant for the 1954 model year.
Hello Jay! The 1960 Cadillac was a nice freshening of the 1959 design. The fins were much more refined on the 1960's Cads. The 390 Cadillac engine was a pretty good motor. WYR #1 1960 Cadillac WYR#2 1959 Cadillac, just for giggles and fins. . . .
60 Dash... This one has a dual master for the brakes, good modification! 60 Cadillac Whew, please 60 Cadillac, understated elegance, unlike the other two!
Yes, the retrofit dual master cylinder is a good choice! The wheels with Vogue tires are not a factory size. Looks like they swapped the rear panel above the bumper to the 1959 parts (I noticed yellow paint on the sheet metal - from the donor car?)
Maybe I missed it somewhere in the comments, but did anyone notice this series 62 convertible has an Eldorado and Sixty Special rear grille treatment and not a solid cast rear grille treatment. Looks nice but if you're going for the proper original look, the rear grille needs to be correct. Like looking at a 1959 Eldorado with chrome blister pods at the rear quarters. Only the 60 Special had these. All other models were body color. Again, it looks nice, but please, give these old beauties their proper trim. They'll love ya for it!!
Yeah, I mentioned it in the video this one had a lot of custom treatment done to it. I didn't realize that it had the El Dorado back plate until after shooting it.
Rather 1, 1960 Caddy, Rather 2, 1959 Caddy. Notice the bumpers on this car have no bolts showing (except some behind the front license plate, which shouldn't be showing anyway). This was a feature of the top end GM cars of the time. Most cars had chrome headed 'bumper' bolts showing.
I had a "best friend " from 3rd through 5th grade whose mother had Cadillacs. A white '59, then a metallic blue '63 convertible. It was to ride in them. This was 1962-1965.
Have you ever done (or considered) a video dedicated to the history and art of fins? It was an interesting but short lived design choice for many American automobiles.
The gas tank location on this '60 Cadillac is almost as cool as the '58 Caddy's tank which was behind the taillight. My picks here would be the '58 Caddy & '60 Imperial.
I like the ‘59 better. It’s the front of the ‘60 models that I don’t like as well. It’s as though the bumper doesn’t protrude as far as the ‘59’s and consequently, leaves the headlights looking unsupported, almost like they’re floating. This floating headlights design also affects the side profile. As for the rear, I still prefer the ‘59, but the changes in the’60 is less offensive to me.
WYR1: Although it was a fourth-year facelift,and not a particularly harmonious one at that, I'd take the Imperial. WYR2: "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing," goes the old saying and it certainly applies to these cars, but they were too far over the top for me. I'd hold out for a '61 Continental. In the late sixties one of my elementary school friends' father had a '60 Cadiddle-yak. My parents had a '51 Commander and a Lark.
Personal opinion: The ‘59 Cadillac was the quintessential 50’s car, overdone with garish fins. The ‘60 is a better design. But, I’d choose the ‘60 Continental…better yet, make it a ‘61. And please lose the carnival barker voice you use at the video’s beginning. Sounds like you’re selling tickets either for The Bearded Lady or Snake Oil. LOL
Why the chrome elements around front and rear lights have such a gap to a body? Quality standards of the time or restorators being too careful not to break the piece bending it back to form?
Eh door gaps were never a cause for concern on these cars none of them matched up perfectly I have a 52 Chevy one ton truck people complain about door gaps have no clue what a door gap is, the door opens and shuts as it should and doesn’t open going down the road.. I had a 67 mustang that the head light shroud for lack of a better term was about an inch short on the right side..
@@tulku4797 GM had a few rules in the design rooms. One was to never let a line go uncurved. Another was to not make a design too literal, let some room for interpretation to complete the form. So you kind of have to squint when looking at a GM :)
Personal opinion: The ‘59 Cadillac is the quintessential 50’s car with its iconic, if garish, fins. The ‘60 is a better design. But, I’d choose the ‘60 Continental for myself. Better yet, make it a ‘61 Continental. And Jay, please lose the carnival barker style voice you sometimes use. It sounds like you’re selling tickets either for The Bearded Lady or for snake oil. LOL (Loved the video.)
Not my favorite Caddy but it was stylish for it's time and was true to form for Cadillac. WYR goes to the Caddy but the Imperial is impressive. Then the 59; you gotta like the B-52-like twin pod turn signals in the front bumper.
actually, these 59-60 GM cars did not have much front suspension travel. The ergonomics were kind of legs out straight and watch your head getting in. My family had 2 of the flat top GM four door cars.
For WYR, it’s the 1960 Cadillac, both scenarios. I did not care for the Lincolns from that period, and the ‘59 Cadillac was too over-the-top. All in all, the 1960 was a very classy luxury car that still looks good today. No wonder this one already sold. BTW was that a 1941 Buick right behind this one?
Maybe it’s a product of being in the younger generation, but for all of the ‘59 and ‘60 Cadillac’s accolades, namely its impact on culture here in the US, I just don’t like them. Actually, I do like them, but not as much as it seems like everyone else does. I suppose that makes me a bit of a contrarian but I don’t understand why these are often $100k+ cars when the Buicks and Imperials from ‘59 and ‘60 often are not. Cadillacs are old people cars, in my mind. My grandmother drove Cadillacs, in the 90s. My parents were too hip for it, so I’m two generations removed from the name “Cadillac” really meaning anything worthwhile. I’m sure they’re great, but… I know they’re over-hyped. For ‘60 I would have the Imperial. I think 1960 was the absolute peak of design at Chrysler under Virgil Exner, whose work set the tone for late 50s car design. And if you want a 50s car, it doesn’t get any more wild and space-age than an Exner. If it had to be a Cadillac? I would take the 1960. It’s got a great balance of space-age while remaining somewhat reserved for the time.
I kinda hate the quiet parts of the video near the end the long silent B roll needs to be its own video, every time my playlist falls quite I think something broke, the router, hub, computer, browser or internet. I need background noise, or the voices in my head take over..... LOL
I owned and drove those cars back then and they were NOT better than today's. The build quality was crap, they rusted out in 5 years, ate spark plugs coils and rotors for breakfast, handled like a waterbed, were unsafe as hell and were moldering in the grave by 100,000 miles. Yeah some are very pretty, but if you had the chance to trade your '59 Fleetwood for a base 2024 Corolla back then you would have done it in a heartbeat
I daily drive a 52 Chevy 1 ton truck and I wouldn’t trade it for a new one if you paid me to do it… I get 20 mpg hwy @ 70 mph on the hwy starts on the button every time I’ve owned it for going on 5 years and it’s let me down once… upgraded drive train 350 v8 from 86 the transmission is from 59 it whines when your at the top of third it sounds like it’s super charged, no traction control no computers no tracking your every move and selling your data to big tech companies no bs… if you want to go off the grid leave your phone at home You had to know how to drive these
I'm pretty sure I've done ive that the engine had 130,000 on it when I got it, the odometer stoped tracking mileage.. but I drive it just did 200 miles in if the other day, I will admit they aren't as safe but new cars 2024 are junk some won't go 5,000-10,000 miles without issues
Am I the only one who gets tired of the intro hey buddy, you could save that stuff to the end if someone is really interested they’re gonna stick around and watch it. I don’t wanna listen to the same exact spiel every time I watch one of your videos for the first three or four minutes.
It's not the same tho it's different everytime there has to be some kind of intro this one didn't have the three 1960 happenings I put this one together in record time like 3 hours vs eight The engine episodes don't have intros Really cool engine episode coming that was at the end of this episode ferro
@ maybe our definition of “the same” differ. I don’t mean the car specific things I mean the hay I’m J I do this yada yada. Here’s the link. Here’s the place yada yada yada that stuff, bro. I like your stuff, though. Your videos are great. And my favorite part…. TOO-DA-LOO!
@ hey you do you man you got a successful channel. I just couldn’t help but think of it as I was listening to the whole rigmarole again that, boy I’m tired of having to skip forward two or three minutes. But who cares what I think you shouldn’t but I appreciate the sentiment.
Do you count the stitches as well just curious My bad but if they are on the fenders they are still technically flanking the Speedo just not as directly Those two idiot lights are for oil pressure and amp meter
"him" by rupert holmes, follow up to the pina colada record
Yeah buddy congratulations you got it =)
No surprise someone snapped this one up. One of the finest cars of that era.
Wonderful review.
This car was incredible even though it had a lot of custom touches
My absolutely favorite Cadillac. A neighbor had one of these in green, 4 door hardtop. Walked by it on my way to school everyday and fell in love with it.
Middle aged baby boomer here... I have always preferred the cleaner look of the 1960 Caddy. Nice video!
These Were When Cars Were Cars, Beautiful Car.
Hey Jay! It's so unique it is a museum all by itself like the 59. Thanks again.
My alltime favorite Cadillac! Thank you, Jay.

Can you imagine how much these cars would cost to build today.😎
Very handsome car. Imagine cruising through the hills in this on a warm sunny day. I'd choose the 1960 Series 62 in both scenarios.
This was the first year Cadillac offered a first in the car industry. When you put the car into gear the handbrake automatically released and would not lock as long as the car was
in gear allowing the driver to use it as an auxiliary brake. Once the car was out of gear you just stepped down to lock the hand brake .
The headlights look after market. I see a circle of LEDs in the headlights.
WYR: All of them. They're all gorgeous.
The Series 62 has always looked beautiful to me.
Awesome =)
This car didn't last long
Going back to classic automall tomorrow
@What.its.like. Yeah, they stopped making them too soon. I can't wait to see what all you film.

I prefer the more iconic 1959 Cadillac over the 1960 Cadillac. However, I prefer the 1960 Cadillac over the 1960 Imperial and 1960 Lincoln.
'60 is so beautifully styled.
I had a 1960 two door hard top. Most people don't know you could get high performance up grades, mine had three two barrel carburetors. The speedometer was marked 130 MPH.

No glove box test? No back seat view? I agree with you about the dash not being to the same styling standard as the rest of the car.
Yeah, I was bummed out about that too. I don't remember what happened something happened and that's why those parts weren't part of the show
I had a "best friend " from 3rd through 5th grade whose mother had Cadillacs. A white '59, then a metallic blue '63 convertible. It was to ride in them. This was 1962-1965.
The ‘59s get all the attention, but the ‘60 is actually a handsomer car.
Not a bad looking car. I think i prefer this one over a '59 convertible. The lines seem more graceful and proportioned.
Always the King of Cars. The Imperial.
My favorite year for Cadillac.
Beautiful car I would have kept it stock but that's me but very well done candy apple red paint. Cadillac 60
I will take a wild guess and say Chewy Chewy by the Ohio Express. Hey any of these series 62 will work for me. Good show.
86 "bullets" in the grill.
Awesome
Bet the '59 Caddy had more bullets.
Have you ever done (or considered) a video dedicated to the history and art of fins? It was an interesting but short lived design choice for many American automobiles.
I have not considered that what a cool idea for a video
15:23 Chrysler is credited with inventing the alternator and hence was the first automaker to use alternators.
For 60k brand new thats a lot of car for the money with the features and beauty. And thr paint color!
The gas tank location on this '60 Cadillac is almost as cool as the '58 Caddy's tank which was behind the taillight. My picks here would be the '58 Caddy & '60 Imperial.
Always thought it was funny that even Mercedes Benz got into tail fins in 1959 on their first-ever s-class. WYR: 60 Caddy for both.
WYR: Cadillac, 1959 (I actually like the 1960 better but the 1959 is just so iconic).
I want to cover a 59 before the year is over I like them both the dash is a little plain tho
Beautiful paintwork and chrome on that Caddy, spoilt by the modern headlights. I prefer the cleaner look of the '60 to the '58 and '59.
You should cover the 1959 ford fairlane( I loved the video)🎉
There is a 59 galaxie hopefully tonight, Skyliner..

I like the ‘59 better. It’s the front of the ‘60 models that I don’t like as well.

I like the 58 caddy best just enough extra chrome lol

Why the chrome elements around front and rear lights have such a gap to a body? Quality standards of the time or restorators being too careful not to break the piece bending it back to form?
it seems about right for the time to me. Bumpers were usually away from the body back then.
@@20CentMotors-z3b Yeah, but look at the chrome around headlights. Hasn't it fit a little closer to the wing?

Chrysler first intoduced the alternator on their production cars with the 1961 models i believe?🤔🙂
That sounds correct, as I have seen pictures of the slant 6 (which came out in 60) with a generator.
Would the song be 'Dreams' by Fleetwood Mac?
Great guess not that song or band
Those are new after market head lamps with led rings

I'm pretty sure I've done ive that the engine had 130,000 on it when I got it, the odometer stoped tracking mileage.. but I drive it just did 200 miles in if the other day,
I will admit they aren't as safe but new cars 2024 are junk some won't go 5,000-10,000 miles without issues
Am I the only one who gets tired of the intro hey buddy, you could save that stuff to the end if someone is really interested they’re gonna stick around and watch it. I don’t wanna listen to the same exact spiel every time I watch one of your videos for the first three or four minutes.
It's not the same tho it's different everytime there has to be some kind of intro this one didn't have the three 1960 happenings I put this one together in record time like 3 hours vs eight
The engine episodes don't have intros
Really cool engine episode coming that was at the end of this episode ferro
@ maybe our definition of “the same” differ. I don’t mean the car specific things I mean the hay I’m J I do this yada yada. Here’s the link. Here’s the place yada yada yada that stuff, bro. I like your stuff, though. Your videos are great. And my favorite part…. TOO-DA-LOO!
I'll work on changing it up =)
@ hey you do you man you got a successful channel. I just couldn’t help but think of it as I was listening to the whole rigmarole again that, boy I’m tired of having to skip forward two or three minutes. But who cares what I think you shouldn’t but I appreciate the sentiment.
Jay, this morning I was thinking: I haven’t seen any What It’s Like videos in a few days, I really enjoy them. Keep up the great productions!
Turn signal indicator was on front fenders , you need to do your homework before commenting on things you don’t know about……
Do you count the stitches as well just curious
My bad but if they are on the fenders they are still technically flanking the Speedo just not as directly
Those two idiot lights are for oil pressure and amp meter
