When a Cadillac was a CADILLAC...One car parade. My Papaw had a tan '60 Sedan DeVille..Which he kept til '68. He got another SDV, it was that AWFUL "Avocado" color, inside & out. It was sorta gold, sorta brown, & sorta medium green, they shoulda calle it "Babyshit", 'cause that really described it perfectly. Nothing but the size said "Cadillac"-No fins, precious little chrome, no sex, no nothin'... Gawdam thing was little more than a ginormous low line Chevy. But the '68, is sober, NOBODY will be offended.... Yeah, but that's part of the point of a Caddy- They're SPOSED to be a tinch over the "Po' White Trash:" line..The 1959 program cars actually lived on til the 1966 model year That was when the series 75 cars had a "Road to Roof" restyling The series 75 cars-Limo. & 9 passenger sedan had had decent sales ever since the 1959s went on sale.
