Cadillac 1958, 2dr, Series 62

This was a tough year for Cadillac. Experts say she had a baroque style, lots of chrome, and some said she was "garish." Cadillac sold only 121,778 units and production was lower than at any time since 1954, perhaps due to the recession. He horsepower was reduced to a single 310-bhp version for all models, feeling the drive toward fuel economy. On the sides toward the rear you can see five longer horizontal windsplits forward of the unskirted wheel housing.

The grille insert was wider and the bumper guards positioned lower. The quad headlamps were new.

The word Cadillac appeared in block letters on the rear fins. The fins were less pronounced.

Sweet. She was parked alongside my house in Wausau!
