1960 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible in White & Engine Sound on My Car Story with Lou Costabile 

What an improvement over the ‘59. I have always considered the 1960 one of the most beautiful Cadillac’s ever.

Good to hear he finally has his dream car. It is a super nice Cad. I had a 1959 Cadillac white with black and white interior fully restored when I was 19 years old back in 1976. Thanks for sharing this one Lou.

Wow! What a beautiful car! Cadillac's finest. That's a work of art. I'm a Cadillac man and a car collector myself. My first Caddy was a 1963 and I was 18 years old. Then I had two 1970's one was a coupe DeVille and the other was a sedan DeVille. Now I have a 1995 sedan DeVille with 70,00 miles 4.9 motor. I love them. But I also have a 1966 AMC Ambassador that I take to car shows and I also have an 84 Thunderbird. I'm a car guy. Ive had so many cars that had to sell them because I ran out of space. I had 9 cars at one time. Im down to three now. Thanks for sharing this beautiful Cadillac Lou.

Hi Lou. Lovely looking Cadillac convertible. I love the condition. I'm so used to seeing 1959 Cadillacs, that the '60s model year seems to be left out of the picture. Beautiful car. :)

Wow! That car runs perfectly.

My grandfather had a 4 door one and I drove it 125 to Lafayette Indiana. Ride was soft but firm and handled well. Quiet as a church mouse at 70 MPH

Wow .... This just .. Just terrific !!!! He is a happy guy . And I don't blame him lol . NICE . Thank you for showing it and God bless you . !!!

This was probably one of the LONGEST cars of the year 1960. Now, imagine this like a 4 door stationwagon and it stretches even further! Classy Caddys are one of the known iconic classic cars, John.

Not just a car... A work of art ! It's GORGEOUS ! Great story !

My Mom had a 1960 - 2 door hardtop. I got to drive it to the U of A from Phoenix. On the 2 lane highway from Apache Junction to Florence I got it up to 115 mph and you had no idea it was going that fast. It weighed in at 5784 pounds. Fun,Fun,Fun.

Thanks Lou and Ryan! The '60s were the most impressive, curviest and swoopiest of the Harley Earl-era finned Caddys, IMHO. In 61, they got boxier and sprouted vestigial lower fins, and by 65, Bill Mitchell decided to take the brand another way -- still cool, but never quite this cool again.

1962 Cadillac in white IS THE QUEEN OF ALL CLASSICS. IT IS ALWAYS GREAT AS CLASSIC R & R . That all that I can say LOU . LOU PLEASE HAVE A GREAT DAY AND ENJOY YOUR SUNDAY. Wish you a great successful business week . Cheers Kind Regards HISHAM ELFIKI

Such a nice Caddy. My first memories of these big finned boats was a 1964. Hard to believe there was a time when Cadillac didn't have standard air conditioning.

Wow what a nice old caddillac! He sure is proud of his new baby! Glad he let you do a story on it! Thanks for sharing Lou!

It looks like it's ready for take off at any minute. Yeah these were on the road when I was a kid in the 60's. 👍🏻😉💕

Wow! This Caddy is just fantastic! Thanks for finding & sharing it, Lou!

This is a true beauty! I love the styling of the rear and the wheels are super sharp. The grille is way cool lookin. The interior color combo is perfectly matched. This really is a dream ride, love it! Great story car and vid, thank you!

Great show Lou. Do not listen to the one critic out of 1000 who does not like your style."You can't please everyone so you have to please yourself."I like My Car Story. I don't think there has ever been an episode that frustrated me.It's a gift to have the opportunity to watch!!!

Beautiful convertible. My First caddy was a 60 4 door With a/c and auto headlight. I was just 16. My first convertible was a 70 white on white with dr blue top. Miss That one a lot

Beautiful car ! I know he's proud.

I had the 60' Fleetwood in 1972. What beautiful car it was. Driving it was like riding on a mattress, so smooth. If any one hasn't had the chance to take a ride in one of these, your missing something special. I regret getting rid of it back then. I was only 18 and didn't have the money to maintain it properly. There were just too many features on this thing had to be fixed and there was A LOT of co$t in them. I didn't know what I really had. 😢 So glad to see this car looking and running like it should!

Lou, you must be both brave and obnoxious to approach strangers about their treasured posessions. At a car show I can see it. Ryan was a good sport, and obviously so happy and proud. Thank you, and keep it up.

There's no question about it. That is a cool car. Really cool of the guy to stop for the video in the spur of the moment like that. I think there will be plenty like me that appreciate that.

I had to pull off the road to watch this video... What a treasure this car is...

Gorgeous car! Thanks, again, Lou! :)

Awesome classic Caddy

Great car Lou, love Cadillac. They made some beautiful land Yachts for sure!!

My first car was a 61 62 series conv......she was just 10 years old in 1971.....she was medium blue with blue leather seats and white canvas top......her fins were as big as the 60 shown here....good memories......moved up to a 64 Coupe in 72 .... she was white with black pebble top....very sharp smaller slanted light up fins..... this 60 is a beauty ! very rare in West Pa......nice vid !

That’s a nice looking car congrats great video Lou thanks for sharing classic car back when cars had style if you ask me👍🏽👍🏽!!

Magnificent series 62

Hi Ryan & Lou: A Cadillac with the classic large fins / very cool 😎Gary from Detroit - Cadillac’s home town 🚘

Beautiful!

Amazing car. First year for fender mounted turn signals and cornering lights.

Love this car an the story.

Super nice car and the up grades make it a safe drive.

Beautiful car!

When I was a teenager I occasionally drove a white Caddy like this one to school. Compared to my '64 mustang the Caddy was huge, and always needed a fill up with Premium gas. There was never any questioning from my buddies who the car belonged to, it obviously wasn't mine. It was such a boulevard cruiser and wonderful to drive.

Just beautiful!

Lou, I have seen several of your videos recently. You find some beautiful machines to post on RU-vid. You have nice coverage of the exterior features. You seem to take some time on the dashboard and of course under the hood.. What you seem to neglect for true car enthusiasts is the interior especially the back seats and the uniqueness of some features on these old machines. Show us what all those strange buttons do, don't just touch the button and move on. The inside of these cars are sometimes as unique as the outside and I enjoy seeing these wonderful interiors just as much as I like looking at the exterior. Show us more of the inside. Turn on those little lights and open up those ashtrays in the armrests. Thank you.

Brian congratulations that's one beautiful Cadillac....my love for the Cadillac came playing with hot wheels. I had to 68 Cadillac eldorado's one was purple and one was gold I love those cars. We're the same age by the way LOL Enjoy that ride!!!👊

WHAT A CAR beautiful CADILLAC I'm sure your proud of it enjoy

This has been my dream car as well since I was 16 and a man who had a really nice, big vacation log cabin on a lake in my neighborhood used to roll up in one of these with the top down and that car was just the prettiest car that you could have imagined. It totally bummed me out when I heard that he was trading it in, because I would not be seeing it anymore. He traded it in on a dark purple, (factory color), 1964 Cadillac with a white convertible top, ultra-white interior with black carpet and dash. Another stop you in your tracks, stunning car. The man had exquisite taste, because I liked that one just as much as the 1960 Cadillac, which was just like yours, minus the white buttons. His had white and red lights in the door. My brother worked for him and used to take us for rides in it. I remember listening to the song Telstar riding around in it and looking out across the hood. Now, you can't even see the hood of your car from the drivers seat. I drive a Lincoln MKZ today, only because the Cadillacs, although still fine cars, have become too sporty for me. I must hand it to Cadillac though, because they are making some extremely fast cars today. IMHO, there is not a car even today that is styled better than your 1960. Nothing better than seeing those fins and that outline in the rear view mirror. Great choice!

Fantastic car!

Hi Lou! Wow! Gorgeous car! Oh, these fins! Looks great! The true spirit of America, Oh Yes! I like it! Thank you Lou for the interesting review!

Love those fins!

Had a '64 Eldorado for 12yrs, the tailfins never met a car cover it didnt destroy!

You’re a great interviewer,very professional I’d say you could have a series on sky tv

Beautiful Caddy! This is my dream car too! 😁 I can't afford a 60 just yet, but I have a really nice 1968 DeVille convertible. Cheers from Norway! 🇳🇴

What terrific memories - my junior high school girlfriend's mother drove one of these!

love this in white. so beautiful.

Absolutely Beautiful white Cadillac.

The interior of the car and trunk is fabulous. The entire car looks like car candy

That's a lot of car right there. Very nice.

Nice :)

Sem comentários. Lindo, lindo. lindo. Único, singular. Parabéns.

It probably doesn't do much better than a boat on gas mileage LOL. But hey, it a real beaut of a car so it's worth it LOL Great episode again as usual Lou.

How you doing Lou? This white boat is so beautiful, Hugs

Cadillac developed this 62 series plus the Eldorado model with an attractive concept design for that year. The 4th gen was indeed eloquent all around.

SHE'S A PERFECT CHRISTINE SHE'S A BEAUTIFUL CADILLAC I LOVE THEM OLD CADILLACS BEAUTY STYLE AND CLASS 🌟☝️✌️CONGRATULATIONS FOR GETTING YOU'RE DREAM CAR ENJOY BE SAFE👍

I’d take a gorgeous old Caddy over any new Lamborghini any day!

Love the videos Lou ! I have a 1967 Cadillac DeVille Convertible . Mine is a California car . I used to live in Streamwood ILL, my parents were from Woodale . Were did you film this at ? Congrats on the car !!

Lovely automobile.

Even though the interior isn't original it looks period correct.

Amazing car I’d love to make an offer if the seller would consider selling

The only Caddy I ever had was a 2001 Seville with front wheel drive and the Northstar fuel injected V8. I was very peppy and a blast to drive. I just loved that car. It's so nice to know that in order to pass, all one had to do was nudge the gas petal a bit and you're there. I don't know what kind of time it would have turned in the 1/4 mile, but I'm confident it would have held it's own with most '60's muscle cars.

What a beauty. The upgrades would make it infinitely more drivable.

Every guy's dream come true for sure! Nice job with the master cylinder, disc brakes and alternator...These gentle upgrades are necessary to make the car safe and drivable. The old generators really didn't do anything at idle, so a car with plenty of accessories could draw the battery down. None of the cars we had when I was a kid had this issue, the AM radio didn't draw much current! That's a shame about the heater core, sure hope it didn't ruin the carpet. I'm hoping the job wasn't too hard, looks like the core was easily accessible on this non AC car....I'm envious for sure, don't think I will ever be able to accomplish owning my dream car....

I have one word for this car,sharp!.John M Guinto

I want a 60 caddy someday..candy apple metallic red, white interior..or Persian sand❤🥰

🏁👍💪👍💪👍💪👍💪👍💪👍💪👍💪🏁 Belle cadillac mon Lou ! 💪😉

In my opinion, the ‘60 Caddy was the ultimate in styling, a little more subdued than the ‘59 which I think comes in as a close second.

Funny a jet should fly above as you are focused on the fins and jet turbine style taillights.

Possibly the nicest way to further deplete fossil fuels. I recall Ralph Nader was extremely critical of those fins... “...In "Unsafe at Any Speed," Ralph Nader claimed a little girl was killed after she ran into a fin on a 1959 Cadillac, while riding her bike or something. Ripped open her torso or some such gory injury. Nader also had harsh words for the sharp lower-body fins, which are properly called "skegs." In the year of its greatest height, the Cadillac fin bore an uncanny resemblance to the tail of the stegosaurus, a dinosaur that had two sharp rearward-projecting horns on each side of the tail. In 1964 a California motorcycle driver learned the dangers of the Cadillac tail fin. The cyclist was following a heavy line of traffic on the freeway going toward Newport Harbor in Santa Ana. As the four-lane road narrowed to two lanes, the confusion of highway construction and the swerving of vehicles in the merging traffic led to the Cadillac’s sudden stop. The motorcyclist was boxed in and was unable to turn aside. He hit the rear bumper of the car at a speed of about twenty miles per hour, and was hurled into the tail fin, which pierced his body below the heart and cut him all the way down to the thigh bone in a large circular gash. Both fin and man survived this encounter. The same was not true in the case of nine-year-old Peggy Swan. On September 29, 1963, she was riding her bicycle near her home in Kensington, Maryland. Coming down Kensington Boulevard she bumped into a parked car in a typical childhood accident. But the car was a 1962 Cadillac, and she hit the tail fin, which ripped into her body below the throat. She died at Holy Cross Hospital a few hours later of thoracic hemorrhage...“ Fins became much smaller and less pointy after ‘59.

What's the difference between a Series 62 and a DeVille? Is the Series 62 like the Calais of the 70's?

I can see ELVIS driving this car.

Had 2 of them yrs ago one was 400$ needed a trans had I for years sold 3k $ they put a 500cui in tt after I sold it was a rustbucket .

*Ghostbusters.*

Oh my. That’s not the original horn! Cadillacs had dual horns. The pitch was higher, regal and distinctive! This honking atrocity sounds like a garbage truck’s! If the grille is like the 59’s it’s constructed of 300 pieces of anodized aluminum, clipped together. A work of art in itself. Never needed polishing. It’s an important aspect of what made Cadillacs distinctive in bygone days! Nice interior, but the door panels look like a deVille’s. The chromed interior pieces were beautifully finished, felt substantial, and were a pleasure to use. There was noting flimsy about the controls!!!

ТАКИЕ ТАЧКИ В МИРЕ МОЖНО НА ПАЛЬЦАХ СОСЧИТАТЬ В ТАКОМ СОСТОЯНИИ

Now THAT'S a car to be proud of. I wonder if he can find the plastic toy to match it now. When I was little, I remember people getting a toy version of the car they purchased new from the dealership. I also suffer from the toy syndrome. When I was 3, I was given a Matchbox toy Greyhound Scenicruiser. Ever since, I've wanted the real thing. I've come close to getting one a couple times, but still haven't made the jump. There's a guy in Peoria that has two of them, with one (PD4501 771) having been fully restored to Greyhound specs. If you ever find yourself needing to go to Peoria, you should look up that coach. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-StZB5GW2fDQ.html

I hate how people use the term "boat". in reality, if you used a seismometer, you would see that this car has a smoother ride quality than any modern car on the market.

The fins....

Quad headlights, not dual. Dual is one on each side, for a total of 2.

That's the Suicidemobile if you've ever seen The Return Of The Living Dead (1985). Cool flick. Suicidemobile had a radically different paintjob tho. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZMEMSHwV8o8.html

I like the 1959 version better...

Biarritz vs deville what's the differences?

As badass as the '59s were, the 1960 is a far prettier car.

The real Elvis ride, right...?

😊😊❤❤😊😊⁰

That car a bit to much with the fin design. You can impale your enemies. If the original design was based on aero then fine but it wasn't
