The Cadillac of the '60s were very light weight and went in more for gadgets than anything else.
You could try a '65 Buick Electra 225! I noticed your '65 4-dr HT Cadillac on the car carrier, and it's even the same color as the Electra I had back in HS and college. I loved that car, and would like to have another some day. It was a 4-dr HT, unfortunately with a post, unlike your Cadillac.
But light? I think it weighed in at about 4000 lbs. No gadgets on this one. Manual everything and an a.m. radio. The 445 ft. lbs. of torque that the 401 ci "Wildcat" engine put out certainly made it
feel light! I remember the first time I drove it vividly. Off the line, with just a tap on the accelerator, it felt like nothing else I'd ever driven. Sorry to say, our '55 Packards could not compare. I was a little hurt about that realization. I thought Packard V8s ruled the world.
But this is still Packard territory, so I will defer to the majority and get off of my Buick high horse.
