60 Cad, Rear Shocks, Availability

[peter a kalby]

Can anyone please advise where I can Purchase New Quality Rear Shocks for My 60 Cad Restoration? Thank You

Cooper's Vintage Auto Parts sells gas charged rears for $45 a pair.
Go here ----

then click on "Catalogs", then Cadillac 1960, etc., etc.
Rock Auto doesn't list them.  NAPA might be able to order them.  Kanter probably has them but I think you will be much happier with Cooper.

Thank You Geoff for Lead.
While Waiting to hear, I learned that Monroe makes a shock for the 60 Cad Rear.
Problem was, I don't like Monroe, Never Have.
I learned also that while KYB makes shocks for Front of 60 Cad, they don't make for Rear.
I could not accept, so I called KYB, with Monroe Model No, they Did a cross ref to their KYB shocks, and they found a Gas shock that matchs, and therefore fits my 60 Cad in the Rear.
KYB confirmed the characteristics of this shock will excede Cad Factory by 20-30 %
I will contact Cooper tomorrow to find out what they have to offer.
Thank you for your Help.
Now, if you could direct me to a vacuum Diagram for 60 Cad systems, I would really be happy
Thank You,Pete
