If you have the opportunity to buy this hard to find book, grab it!

As the title suggests, this book focuses on the details of Cadillac's beauties from 1960 to 1969. Each year is given a great amount of space as well as clear black and white photos (yes, no color here) of exteriors, interiors, close-ups, etc. The level of detail the author puts into each description is incredible. This book is ideal for Cadillac aficionados who love the 1960's era. I own a '60 Coupe and a '64 convertible, so naturally I loved the focus on this particular decade and I enjoyed reading about the subtle differences between years and across models. The original shop manuals or sales brochures simply do not provide this sort of information. Most Cadillac books focus on the 40's or 50's, so this one is a real gem if you love the 60's car lines as I do.

If you are only a moderate Cadillac fan, I would suggest broader topic books that cover earlier years as well. Keep the faith.

I found the book to be comprehensive, very detailed, and incredibly researched. In addition to the wealth of data and photos, the author included much historical information about the cars... and the area they helped define. I particularly enjoyed Roy Schneider's introduction, forward, and captions. His expertise on the subjet is impressively demonstrated throughout this book--and previous others. The book is as enjoyable as riding in an Eldorado Biarritz convertible with an expert driver.

Roy Schneider has produced the most outstanding series of books about Cadillac (40's, 50's & 60's). The publication itself is of the highest quality (binding, paper, photographs and text - all first-rate). I own both this edition and the 50's book, and I refer to them often. Mr. Schneider has presented many rare photographs and text that are from many "internal" types of sources, such as salesman's data books, which are difficult for collectors to find and very expensive. I hope he will consider publishing a new volume in the future: Cadillacs of the Seventies!

Roy Schneider has created the best series of books about Cadillacs that I have encountered (40's, 50's & 60's). I own the 50's and 60's volumes and refer to them often. These are publications of the highest quality (binding, paper, photography and copy). This is as near to an insider's view of Cadillac as most of us would hope to get. Many of the photographs are from dealer data books and other internal sources, which are very expensive to aquire now. Mr. Schneider has brought much of this rare literature into a beautifully presented format. I hope that he is considering publishing a new volume for the Cadillacs of the Seventies.

This is one of the best Cadillac books I own, and I own around 15. Excellent details and pictures. Nice reference book for anyone with a 60's Caddy. I have a 66 and a 69 and info is great. The best out there for these years. Although more expensive compared to others, worth the price.
