In that first or second scene, as the sidewalk admirers gaze upon the new Cadillac, I swear that was my Mom pushing me in the baby stroller. I would have been 1 year old.😂 Ah, alas.😢 I was born twenty years too late. I was never meant for this current era. Take me back to the 1960's and 1970's, please, when General Motors still built Cadillacs. I have owned five Cadillacs. 1972 SDV, 1976 SDV, 1979 FLTWD, 1980 SVL, and a 1983 ELD BRTZ. Those were among the final Cadillacs that deserved the Crest. Loved this video. I am going to watch again and again.
This is when GM was run with vision , skill , and pride. They allowed Cadillacs to be the very best possible, within a mass production format. Everyone looked up to Cadillacs in the industry, and public. Not just beautiful, but reliable, and engineered to excellence. So successful, to many people actually trades them very quickly for the next ones . So good , Cadillac would actually advertize the older models with the new !
In 1967 I owned a 1962 series 62 6 window sedan. Sandalwood beige with matching interior. It was a one owner trade in for a new 1967 Calais sedan. It was a great car.
That's when cars had style. When you were able to just look at a car and you were able to tell exactly what year it was. You car keep you're damn Teslas. Or your 100,000 dollar BMW with its flat dull brand new paint job.
My parents first new Cadillac was a 1965 Calais Coupe. No AC no power windows. They were looking at 1965 Riviera's too but the Riv was a 4 seater only. Imagine looking at a new 1965 Riviera and not buying it because it has bucket seats front and rear 😮
I've owned a California black and gold plated, Burgundy Mist, '65 Riviera with Black Deluxe interior. I love Cadillac's, but everyday I regret selling my Riviera.
That was when GM cars were overall some of the best cars and pretty well put together.Imperial was a better handling car,and had a far better transmission,but what Cadillac really had going for it is that it looked like you really stepped up,and spent well.
Excellent comment, and Imperial was a fine car , and tried hard : The Toqurflight Excellent. Cadillacs Hyrdomatic was wonderful also. Rolls Royce bought them & they shifted like butter . Cadillac style, and exclusive engines , just struck the right balance between tradition and future.
@@danteardenz2670Thank you, you are right about the Hydro Magic,it just wasn't on par as far as strength or efficiency of the Torque Flite,but that changed when the Turbo Hydramatic showed up in 64 in some Cadillacs,Buicks,and in 65,replacing both the Dynaflow,and the Hydra matics in the Cadillacs,Buicks, Oldsmobile,and Pontiacs.
I would like to make one more styling observation,the nice job Cadillac hiding the basic body shell of the Fleetwood 75 formal sedan used from 59to64,the biggest give away is the limousine used the same glass,and dash from 59to64,but the front end and rear styling matched the current year styling of the Calis,Coupe,and Sedan de Villes, along with the Fleetwood Sixties Series.The Fleetwood 75 finally redesigned the body,and dash assembly to match its stable mates in 1965,until the last truly built Fleetwood 75 Formal Sedan in 1984.

These were the days that you really got your money's worth out of a car, especially a Cadillac. With proper sevice and reasonable care, 100,000 miles was nothing. Resale and trade-ins were very respectible every 3-5 years. It's hard to think that for 5 grand you could own one of these, but 5 grand is like 50 to 60 grand or more today. However, depreciation back then was nothing like today. I have two very nice, original cars (not cadillacs) from the mid 1960 that back then cost 8-9 K together. They have 68,000 original miles between them. I can sell them for 80 k or more today, but I'll die before I sell them. I've had numerous other cars for the past 60 years (Cadillac, Audi, BMW, Datsun, Buick, Toyota, Oldsmobile, Ford Thunderbird, and Lincoln), but there's nothing like driving a car from the 1960's ! It's real driving so you must be careful.
1:56 the old lady with the poodle and the mink stole. She was a BABE! They don't make women like that any more! Sh*t, they don't make WOMEN anymore! Ditch the poodle, though.

I have owned my 1962 Eldorado Biarritz for 25 years. I am definitely obsessed.

You car keep you're damn Teslas.

IMHO, 1960-62 Cadillacs were the pinnacle of style for the entire decade. You can keep your POS Teslas. Will never own such junk.

awesome
Imho the 1962's were the prettiest Cadillacs ever made with the possible exception of the 67 Eldorado
