The Cadillac Calais is an automobile produced by Cadillac from 1965 to 1976. The Division renamed its entry-level Series 62 as the "Calais" in 1965, after the French port city, derived from Calais in Greek mythology, one of two winged sons of Boreas, god of the North Wind, and Oreithyea. The Calais was identical in styling and mechanics to the better-equipped, more expensive Cadillac de Ville. No convertible model was offered in the Calais line.
