A must for the Caddy enthusiast, May 29, 2001
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.

A must-have for collectors, aficionados, and casual readers., June 16, 1998
By A Customer
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.

The Best Book on Cadillac - Bar None!, May 27, 2001
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!
