Can anyone identify this Cadillac?

[Falcon_LS]

Saw this outside a garage this evening, and I was wondering if anyone knows what year and model it is.

American cars certainly used to be quite distinctive. Call me old fashioned, but I hate this recent trend/obsession with luxury cars having to be high performance. Whatever happened to ride comfort and distinctive styling?

Agree.

That's not a car. It's a Cruise Ship!

Agree with you, but I wouldn't say no to a CTS-V wagon with manual trans... AWESOME!

I disagree with Hallmark. This is a 1961 6 window hardtop. There was a 4 window hardtop as well. (SIDE WINDOW COUNT). This car also displays wheel covers from a Dodge Lancer IIRC.FWIW-Oldtommy

If that's what you want, take a look at a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado. Convertible if you so choose.

PS to my post above. A Google search shows this as a 1961 Cadillac, model 6229K, of which 26,216 were built. The 4 window carried a different model# and about 4000 were built,-- Oldtommy

what a disgrace to dodge put those hub caps on that caddy.
