* Record
** Onset of three year recession.

[35-709]

 

[Cadillac Jack 82]

Pretty decent dip from 57 to 58.  Wasnt that a mini recession?

[V63]

58 was a significant recession as evidenced here, seems the catalyst was Sputnik.

[Bryan J Moran]

Very interesting thank you Eric.  I always find the 70s interesting.  Buyers for all makes bought a lot of 2 door sporty cars. This was the age of the Cutlass Supreme, Monte Carlo, Lincoln Mark 3,4 and the Coupe deVille.

[Eric DeVirgilis CLC# 8621]

Pretty decent dip from 57 to 58.

Not nearly as dramatic as 1979 to 1980 which was the lowest production since 1967.

[V63]

1980 1981 1982 Cadillac brought dwindling performance, standard diesel (Seville) , V864 and the HT4100 ... sounds like a lot of DEPRESSION

[Barry M Wheeler #2189]

In 1993 on our Cadillac lot, we had one, quite beautiful burgundy CDV that absolutely no one wanted to even look at. Finally got rid of it in a dealer trade.
