In 1936 six models were available:

• Model 36-60 (straight eight engine)
• Model 36-70 (V-8 engine)
• Model 36-75 (V-8 engine)
• Model 36-80 (V-12 engine)
• Model 36-85 (V-12 engine)
• Model 36-90 (V-16 engine)

• The Cadillac series 36-60, a new model for 1936 was more than a LaSalle, but less than a full size Cadillac.
• It had the same concept as the LaSalle, but with the Cadillac name.
• It was smaller, shorter, lighter, less powerful, less expensive, but with full Cadillac quality.
• It was also limited to three body styles, by Fisher.
• The Convertible Coupe had a rumble seat, but the closed Coupe had only a small folding seat inside for an extra passenger.
• Both these body styles had a single fenderwell on the side opposite the driver.
• The Vee windshield, grill and fender treatment were the same as on the larger V-8's.
• The engine was the same new engine as in the Fleetwood bodies V-8's, but with a 9.5mm smaller bore.
• The transmission was the smaller unit, similar to that in the LaSalle.
• Many dimensions were less than on the larger V-8's, to fit the concept of a lower priced, less pretentious, but equally high-quality product.
