Page "Cadillac Sixty Special" Paragraph 46

For 1971, the lineup was trimmed down to just one Sixty Special model, the Sixty Special Brougham.

It still rode on an exclusive wheelbase, but with all-new sheet metal and a distinctive roof design.

The formal new roof was clearly reminiscent of Bill Mitchell's original 1938 Sixty Special, with individually framed, rounded-corner side glass ( outlined by a thin chrome bead ).

Also new on the vinyl top were C-pillar mounted opera lamps and a thick B-pillar-all of which heightened the limousine effect.

To complete the " custom-body " look, the front and rear side doors had a narrow body filler panel between them.

Despite the formal new look and higher levels of luxury, sales dropped slightly from last year, down to 15, 200 units.
