1938 Cadillac V16 - GM Heritage Center

On each panel are three groups of louvres, each
consisting of four horizontal chrome ribs arranged
one above the other. This louvre styling is similar on
the V-8 and Fleetwood, providing all new Cadillacs
with a unique feature of distinctive similarity.
Sixty
Side View
The characteristic Cadillac fender shapes continue,
but appear longer and even more sweeping, particularly
at the rear.
The heavy exterior hardware, in which tastefully
designed door handles curve in snugly to the door
panels for safety, is used.
The Sixty Line differs from all other series in that
it does not have a stainless steel belt moulding but
has instead a pronounced outward body curve which
flows from the hood along the body below the windows
into the trunk, forming a highlight from the radiator
grille to the rear of the body.
To prevent collection of dirt and water, running
boards are separated at the ends from the fenders.
These ends are tastefully decorated and protected by
heavy chromed strips.
Rear View: Unlike many cars, the Sixty's rear
appearance reflects a definite and harmonious part
with the car's over-all design. All lines blend smoothly.
