The V-63 was a continuation of the 1924 line, expanded to include the "Custom" line introduced in October, 1924.

  • Five "Custom" bodies were shown in the catalog, but a total of eight were listed by job number.
  • The new line was custom to the extent that the customer could choose from 24 color harmonies and 10 upholstery patterns.
  • The introduction of Duco finishes signaled this start to a color explosion which hit Cadillac in the next few years.
  • Nickel plated radiator shell and lights became standard.
  • The scrolled radiator shell, first exclusive to the "Custom" line, was adapted to the standard line.
  • The "Custom" line was distinguished by sloping windshields and double belt molding.
  • A two-door, five passenger Coach body was added to the Standard line.
