Wilson until 1957 when he presented it to his secretary.[2] At some time dur- ing this period it acquired a dark Vicodec roof.[2] The 1 Early history prototype “Coupe de Ville” was still in use as of 1976.[2] The Cadillac Series 62 Coupe de Ville was introduced late in the 1949 model year.[3][4] Along with the Buick Roadmaster Riviera, and the Oldsmobile 98 Holiday, it was among the first pillarless hardtop coupes ever produced.[3][4] At $3,496 it was only a dollar less than the Series 62 convertible, and like the convertible, it came with power windows standard. It was luxuriously trimmed, with leather upholstery and chrome 'bows’ in the headliner to simulate the ribs of a convertible top.[3][4] In its first year the Series 62 Coupe de Ville only sold 2,150 units.[3][4] But 1950 sales more than doubled to 4507, and in 1951 sales more than doubled again to 1950 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe de Ville 10,241 exceeding the sales for the Series 62 Club Coupe that year.[3][4] Also, in 1951, Coupe de Ville chrome script appeared on the rear roof pillar for the first time, to further distinguish it from the Series 62 Club Coupe.[3][4] In 1956 the Series 62 Coupe de Ville was joined by the Series 62 Sedan de Ville, Cadillac’s first standard produc- tion 4-door hardtop.[3][4] Similarly to the Coupe de Ville, it was also more expensive and more luxuriously trimmed that the standard 4-door Series 62.[3][4] With 41,732 sold, it also easily outsold the Series 62 sedan in its very first year.[3][4] Given their sales success, it was only natural 1956 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan de Ville that the Coupe de Ville and Sedan de Ville were moved The name “De Ville” is derived from the French de la to their own separate series in 1959, the Series 6300, be- [3][4] ville or de ville meaning “of the town”.[1] In French coach ing joined by a De Ville convertible in 1964. building parlance, a coupé de ville, from the French couper (to cut) i.e. shorten or reduce, was a short four- wheeled closed carriage with an inside seat for two and an outside seat for the driver and this smaller vehicle was 1 2 3 1961–1964 shared the same 130 in (3,302 mm) wheelbase. Engine output was an even 325 hp (242 kW) from the 390 cu in (6.4 L) engine. The De Ville Series had script nameplates on the rear fenders. Standard equipment included power brakes, power steering, automatic transmission, back-up lamps, windshield wipers, two-speed wipers, wheel discs, outside rearview mirror, vanity mirror, oil filter, power windows and two way power seats. Plain fender skirts covered the rear wheels and 4-doors were available in ei- ther four-window or six-window hardtop configurations. Over 53,000 De Villes were sold in their first year as a separate series, accounting for roughly 37% of all Cadil- lacs sold. The 1960 Cadillacs had smoother, more restrained 1959 Cadillac Sedan de Ville rear styling. General changes included a full-width grille, the elimination of pointed front bumper guards, increased re- straint in the application of chrome trim, lower tailfins with oval shaped nacelles and front fender mounted di- rectional indicator lamps. De Villes were distinguished by special script nameplates on the rear fenders. Four- window and six-window hardtop sedans were offered again. The former featured a one-piece wraparound backlight and flat-top roof, while the latter had a slop- ing rear window and roofline. Standard equipment in- cluded power brakes, power steering, automatic transmis- sion, dual back-up lamps, windshield wipers, two-speed wipers, wheel discs, outside rearview mirror, vanity mir- ror, oil filter, power windows and a two-way power seats. 1960 Cadillac Coupe de Ville Technical highlights were finned rear drums and an X- frame construction.

More massive front bumper end pieces appeared and housed rectangular parking lamps. At the rear tail lamps were now housed in vertical nacelles de- signed with an angled peak at the center. A vertically ribbed rear beauty panel appeared on the deck lid latch panel. Cadillac script also appeared on the lower left side of the radiator grille. The short-deck hardtop Town Sedan was moved from the De Ville series to the Series 6200, being replaced by a short-deck Park Avenue.[6] In addition all short deck Cadillac models went from being 6-window sedans in 1961 to 4-window sedans in 1962 and 1963. Standard equipment included all of last year’s equipment plus remote controlled outside rearview mir- ror, five tubeless black wall tires, heater and defroster and front cornering lamps. Cadillac refined the ride and quiet- ness, with more insulation in the floor and behind the firewall.[7] De Ville sales as a separate series exceeded 1963 Cadillac Coupe de Ville their sales level as a trim level for the first time ever at 71,883 units, or nearly 45% of Cadillac’s total sales. backlight treatment had crisp angular lines with thin pil- In overall terms 1963 Cadillac was essentially the same lars on some models and heavier semi-blind quarter roof as the previous year.

    4l60e service manual Continue In the early 1990s, there was a problem with the development of a heavy automatic transmission that could be used in Hummer cars equipped with powerful petrol and diesel engines. A fundamentally new four-to-one automatic transmission 4L60E has been developed, which has received a reinforced hydroblock and a special pump design, which allowed to provide quality lubrication of the engine. To ensure quality transmission significantly increased channels of lubricant of solenoids. This required the use of updated and enlarged solenoids. It should be noted that some functions of transmission modification are controlled by electronics. In total, the automatic transmission makes a positive impression. It is reliable and capacity. This means you can repair the GM 700R4 automatic transmission.

  • Nissan Delivers Stylish Fun with Altima Coupe
    Test Drive: Nissan delivers stylish fun with Altima coupe Even though front-wheel-drive coupes aren't big sellers, Nissan took the financial risk to develop a sleek, two-door version of the redesigned 2008 Altima sedan and came up with a terrific mainstream coupe. Its stylish silhouette rivals the beauty of Nissan's Infiniti G35 luxury coupe (Test Drive, March 15). That might annoy those who paid twice as much for the Infiniti, but surely will appeal to those who want much of the G's visual cachet for considerably less money. "Every body panel is different from the (Altima) sedan, except the hood. The investment was significant," says John Curl,. an Altima product manager. "We didn't want to just build a two-door sedan." Power delivery in the V-6, regular-production test car was delightful. Nissan seems to have proprietary voodoo it works on CVTs (continuously variable automatic transmissions) to keep them from feeling like a manual transmission with a slipping clutch, as some rival CVTs do. Nail the throttle and there's a definite, solid downshift to a lower gear ratio for fast acceleration. No brutal revving of the engine without commensurate leap of the vehicle. Whatever Nissan does to the pulleys-and-belt CVT elevates it to the level of pleasing, appealing and satisfying. Handling of the loaded, $31,980 test car was sufficient for most drivers most of the time. The coupe's suspension is tuned differently than the sedan's, giving the two-door a crisper driving feel, which is an accomplishment because the Altima sedan feels pretty crisp and agile and sporty.
