For me luxury = Cadillac. The imperial and Lincoln are beautiful too and close behind. I could never understand the taillight placement on the Imperial.

Very odd. Also the tail lights - and headlights -  '61 / '62

I think they were meant to echo styling of years past when lights, both head and tail, were not integrated into the fenders.

@charles-rockett Charles, could be the stylists thought if we got away with the unusual taillight placement for '55 and '56 why not go all out and add the headlights too for the '61 and '62? Smile

@sizedoesmatter I'm sure you're right, John. If at first you don't succeed ... etc.
