    The over-al l impression created by Cadil lac's 1962 styl ing is one of

    increased stature and even greater presence. Here is the sol id dignity

    and impressive sense of quality, basic to Cadillac's position as the Standard

    of the W orld, brou ght to n ew emin ence with a. bold new vertical gri lle

    face, more massive headlight nacel les, and introducing to America's

    motorists for the first time the safety and convenience of new cornering

    lights. And here is the equally impressive appearance of strength and

    substance created by the new angular rear deck con

    lower rear quarter f ins, heavy, chromed multi-pur

    l ights ,

    and b oldly patterned cove m olding extending

    entire width of the deck si l l

    .

    Sweeping, front-to-rea

    of the side pan els and crisply si lhou etted roof l in

    enhance the sleekly elegant beauty that has earned

    the admiring acclaim of fashion-wise motorists ev

    Cadillac owners will appreciate at once the look of greater

    breadth and length of the new hood . . . and the massive s t rength

    and dignity imparted by the new, vertical gri l le face with i ts

    dist inctive Cadillac script signature at the lower right. More

    impressive, too, are the twin, tubular headlamp housings project

    ing directly from the front fenders with no tapering at the rear,

    the new rec tangular park ing l amp hous ings match ing the

    rectangular gri l le

    motif,

    and the new longer di rect ional s ignal

    indicator l ights which further enhance the feeling of greater

    leng th and increa sed pre se nc e of Cadillac for 1962.

    The impressive feel ing of digni ty and s t rength emphasized by

    Cadillac stylists for 1962 is immediately apparent in the new

    rear deck wi th i t s broad, more level top surface dropping in

    crisply angled contours to the deck s i l l . An appearance of

    increased width imparted by the new horizontal cove molding

    of solid extru ded alu m inu m is further en ha nc ed by bold, vert ica l

    wide-set tai l l ights in massive chromed housings . The rear quarter

    fins for 1962, with their lower, more horizontal l ines, complement

    the basic digni ty and s leek custom design which int roduces the

    1962 Cadi l lac as indeed the masterwork of the motoring age.

    New parking lamps or (optional at extra cost) fog lamps have a

    new rectangular design in keeping with rectangular gri l le motif.

    Directional signal indicator l ights have larger housings to

    complement the broad hood and more massive radiator gri l le .

    New cornering l ights , below, in s ide extensions of headlamp

    housings, are a Cadi l lac f i rs t on American motor cars . Operated

    by the directional signal lever, they cast a 50-candle-power beam

    of l ight wh ich i l luminates the ro ad sid e and roa d signs for

    increased visibil i ty and greater safety when making turns during

    night t ime driving.

    pedal for faster applicat ion and a lowering of the accelera tor

    pedal for greater comfort and convenience.
