I recently received my 1961 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible build sheet from GM.  Great info to have if you can read it.  The microfiche copy is not the greatest and I was hoping that a Cadillac brother might have a legible copy of the build options that are located in the to right hand quarter of the sheet.  Hopefully someone with a contiguous VIN # can benefit from the sheet.  I would appreciate a legible copy of the 1961 build options.

Thank you in advance.

Complain to the archive.   They took your money for something you can't read.   
All the codes should be in the specifications book.

If it was built Dec of 61 then that is a 62 model year car.

Here is the first build sheet for 62 model year.  Looks like they meant to make a controlled differential on the first build.  But it still must not have been ready. It is whited out.

They listed it in one of the 61 brochure/data books as well.  But i guess it just was not ready.  I thought that i had a controlled differential. Because there is a misprint in the stamping on my rear end that gave the impression of that call out.

Very interesting info on those build sheets. Thanks for posting. Was the outlet codes of 9430000 like Cadillac motor division? Plus all the commercial chassi builds in that first group. Pretty cool
