1964 Cadillac
Design revisions for '64 were minor. Even lower tailfins
created a straight-through beltline, accentuating length; grilles got a body-color
horizontal bar; and taillamp housings were reshaped. A new automatic
heating/air-conditioning system maintained a set temperature regardless of outside
conditions—a Cadillac feature ever since. More significant was a
6.4 Liter bored and stroked to
7 Liter, good for 340 bhp. Unit volume improved to
near 166,000.
