The eighth generation of Cadillac Sixty Special was unveiled for the 1961 model year. This new iteration of the Sixty Special saw a complete redesign, giving it the cleaner, less trimmed look it shared with the Cadillac Eldorado. The eighth generation Sixty Special was offered as a V8 powered four door sedan, and was in production until 1964, when it was replaced by the Ninth Generation Cadillac Sixty Special.
