Wardlow makes bras for many cars although I do not see 1960 Cadillac listed, suggest you talk to them.  Very good people to do business with.

I have one of their bras on my '35 Cadillac although I had to order it for a large '35 Buick which shares basically the same body --- they didn't list one for a '35 Cadillac.  Fits perfect and have driven many miles with it on --- no paint damage.

Failing that, a good upholstery person should be able to make you one.  I am having one made for my 1950 Jaguar sedan which Wardlow did not have a pattern for.

I've wondered about using that plastdip peelable paint for that purpose, say on a long trip.  Just a floated idea, don't know if I would feel comfortable putting that on original paint or not.

No such luck . They don’t have a pattern for ANY late 50’ - 60’s cars - I asked about 59 60 Impala - no - Buick - no - Oldsmobile - no ...... so , NO WARDLOW !!

But , I appreciate the suggestion - no one else that I’ve found make them either ,
