1938 Cadillac V16 - GM Heritage Center

CADILLAC
SIXTY
America's
Fastest and Smoothest Eight
The new Cadillac Sixty continues to hold the title,
won by the Series 60 last year, of the best performing
American stock car. Designed specifically for those who
desire remarkable speed and acceleration under all
conditions of travel, the 346 cubic inch V-8 engine is
an ideal power plant for the new essentially practical
Cadillac Sixty. Cadillac Sixty performance is excelled
only by the revolutionary new Cadillac Sixteen.
The Cadillac Sixty engine is equally practical with
this car's truly modern body and chassis design. The
V-type design is the only engineeringly correct design
for engines of eight or more cylinders. Its tremendous
available power permits spectacular acceleration and
at the same time makes possible low engine speeds at
high car speeds. This results in amazing fuel economy
and long engine life over other engines.
Smoothness and quietness are also achieved by this
low engine speed. In addition, an outstanding new
feature introduced by Cadillac for the first time this
year, provides a degree of smoothness and quietness
never heretofore attained. This is the Syncro-Flex
Flywheel. The Cadillac Sixty is the smoothest as well
as the fastest of all eight cylinder automobiles.
