Calais Cadillac Models & History 1967
Newat Cadillac for 1967 was a redesigned side panel contour that created a longer look and more sculptured appearance. The coupe roof structure was restyled after the Florentine show car and gave added privacy to rear seat passengers. Technical improvements included a revised engine valve train, different carburetor Mylar printed circuit instrument panel, re-tuned body mounts and a new engine fan with clutch for quieter operation. A squarer cornered radiator grille insert had a cross-hatch pattern that appeared both above the bumper and through a horizontal slot cut into it. Rear end styling revisions were highlighted by metal divided taillamps and a painted lower bumper section. The new front grille had a forward angle and blades that seemed to emphasize its vertical members. Rectangular parking lamps were housed at the outer ends. Listed as standard equipment for cars in this line were:
