Clean-lined styling best characterizes the 1969
Cadillac. Up front is the traditional Cadillac look in
the cross-hatch grille, but now a cleaner, more
massive appearance is created by the three recessed
grille fins housed within each rectangular opening.
Newly styled horizontal head/amps inboard of the
fenders broaden the front end appearance as does
the wrap-around design of the combination parking
lamps and directional signals. Further enhancing the
clean, yet massive look of the front end
;
a a new
hood that is 3" longer overall, 2" wider at'the front
and has a deeper draw in the nose area. Additional
credit to the clean, sculptured look comes from the
neatly recessed windshield wipers.
From the side, length is accentuated by smooth,
liquid highlights. Calais, De Ville and Seventy-Five
models have a thin chrome strip starting at the front
wheel opening and extending the length of the
body. Conspicuously absent are the front vent win-
dows, contributing further to the clean-lined styling
and long, smooth look. The cornering lamps and
side marker lamps are an extension of the wrap-
around parking lamps and directional signals.
Rear styling is highlighted by an all new deck lid
that gives the rear and a more massive appearance
as well as increased trunk space. Tail lamps, backup
lamps, stop lights, directional signals and side marker
fights are ail meticulously integrated into one large
unit that blends in well with the new rear styling.
The rear styling terminates in a new deep-section
bumper that contributes to the massive look.
