In 1966, Cadillac ushered in a new elegance... new sophistication... and new excitement. The mid-1960s ushered in the quintessential Cadillac luxury. The Standard of the World offered 12 luxury models in three distinctive model lines. Now that's impressive - all with unique aerodynamics, no fancy electronics, nothing fake or added. No one cared about mpg - just pure, unadulterated distinction. The 1966 Cadillac was the Standard of the World in driving pleasure. It was Cadillac's elite series, offering superb craftsmanship, spirited performance, and ease of handling on a grand Cadillac scale in a grand Cadillac manner. The ultimate embodiment of Cadillac elegance and dignity were the Fleetwood Series Sixty-Special and De Ville. This is the Cadillac of Cadillac and, without any guesswork, the quintessential flagship that made it clear that you had arrived – in style… in Cadillac style. In any gathering of fine automobiles, it stood out in its majesty and splendor with that special poised, stately pride that was the hallmark of every Cadillac. It truly is the most distinguished automobile on the road, built in the tradition of excellence. There is nothing more satisfying than looking out at the world from behind the wheel of a Cadillac. This was such a special series of cars; it had its own dedicated production line on the assembly floor. These ultra-exclusive cars required a lot of extra hand finishing and were the closest thing to coachbuilding that you could get in a car.
