The 1960 model year was an impressive beginning to a new decade. During the Sixties,
Cadillac styling became more graceful and restrained as Bill Mitchell gradually unified
the design. Few new engineering advances were introduced, but orderly design development
and a conservative styling approach set Cadillac apart from other luxury makes and
maintained its reputation as "The Standard of the World." To the American public,
Cadillac remained a symbol of prestige, success, and good taste.
The 1968 spotlight was on motive power: an all-new 472-cid V-8 with 375 bhp. Designed to meet the
new government emission standards that took effect that year, it was extensively tested in the
laboratory, being run the equivalent of 500,000 miles. Though not as fuel-efficient as its
predecessor, the 472 could boast of being the largest production engine offered in the industry.
